There's a lot of things one can accomplish on the weekend

It's mid-week and I'm really longing for the weekend.  Last weekend, Isaac and I accomplished so much traversing around town.  We did so many adult things like buying groceries for the week, and stocking up on his work clothing at Zara.  I'm studying art history and one of my assignments required a visit to the Museum of Fine Arts so that was yet another stop on our trip.  I have to say that my Topshop heeled booties might be one of my favorite errand-running shoes.  Sure, heels tend to make your feet sore after walking a lot but these are worn in enough that the Montreal streets didn't tire me out.  Also, I'm in love with this shrug I found off the sale section at Urban Outfitters.  It was originally priced at $44 (way out of my price range for such a small item) but I managed to snag it for $9.  My favorite thing about it is that it can turn sleeveless pieces into long-sleeved pieces - just like the dress I wore this day.






Anyways, I hope everyone has a wonderful thanksgiving - I'll be posting an outfit (most likely) as well as a few photos!  My family always celebrates a non-conventional thanksgiving without turkey because we really don't eat much meat, so there's seafood as well as lots of vegetables and pasta.  I'm so excited!

OOTD: Oversized Stripes

Image
Montreal has finally experienced the inevitable drop in temperature (one of many) that signals the beginning of fall.  During the summer, it's not necessarily colder in this city than it is in New York or Boston - but once September rolls around, the temperature takes a nice swan dive into autumn.  Not the dreadful dive it takes in November, though.  That is when Montreal suddenly becomes ten degrees colder than my hometown in Rhode Island and remains that way throughout the winter (unless it's twenty degrees colder, in that case please kill me.) So, I decided to try out this outfit combination the other day thinking that I wouldn't freeze my legs off.  I mean, they stayed on.  But I was itching to go home and throw on some pants, or like twenty blankets.  I have a low tolerance for these kinds of things - don't ask me why I moved to Canada. Speaking of my legs, were they always that white? (thanks, mom and dad) Also, can I just say - why is it that when oth

OOTD: September Sun

It's good to be home.  I'm happy to be back in familiar surroundings and settled into my old apartment that I left for the Summer.  Being back with Isaac is obviously a plus as well.  I've actually been back for a while but unfortunately came down with a terrible cold so the first days here were spent in bed binge watching Netflix and sipping tea.  Anybody else really into the TV show Gotham right now? Today was absolutely gorgeous as well so Isaac and I ran out to do some errands and shot some photos while out.  Also! I've decided to start vlogging (just like...every other blogger out there at this point) so stay tuned for my weekly vlog! It'll be coming out sometime next week.  I'm also spending time rearranging my apartment a bit so I'm hoping to get out some content related to that soon. I'm totally loving this outfit too right now.  This shirt is vintage and needed some major TLC (missing buttons, a few holes) but I was able to fix it up and it

Best Cross Body Bags for Fall (That Won't Break the Bank)

Image
Net-a-Porter has just kindly informed me that cross body bags are in.  Fantastic! I own several of these, and now I have an excuse to buy more! I click through to the ~shop the editorial~ section and see a glorious array of Gucci to Loeffler Randall and Fendi.  With much reluctance, I update my preferences to price low to high, because who am I kidding, I don’t have hundreds to drop on that Gucci bag.  No matter how beautiful it is, or how perfectly it would go with that one dress I own.  Okay, page is loading up.  My eyes slowly roll to the back of my head as I am reminded that in the world of Net-a-Porter, cute cross body bags do not exist below the $300 mark.  You know what does exist below the $300 mark? Like, hundreds of cheap yet acceptable bottles of white wine. I do not have $300 to spend on a bag, and if you’re like me then maybe you’re frustrated by the desire to obtain gorgeous bags without..the means.  My disappointing cross body bag encounter sent me scavenging the i
