Pre-Fall 2016 : Favorite Looks

I'm really loving some of the collections coming out right now.  There's something so striking about the long lines and harsh angles coming out of Acne and Kenzo while Theory's collection shines in its soft simplicity.  I'm also completely geeking over so many outfits from the Sportmax and Ports 1961 collections.  Mind you, this is only a taste of what is currently being shown and what has been shown in the past few days.  Keep reading to catch my two cents on some of my favorite looks and collections currently out.

Acne
Anyone else drooling over that orange jacket? I'm thinking that perhaps Velma from Scooby Doo became a groupie. (Almost Famous, anyone?) Also - mixed tartan yes please.

Theory
Completely gorgeous, as per usual.  I'm a huge fan of Theory and could literally wear anything they produce.  Simple yet gorgeous.

Kenzo
First of all, loving the way the models' positions interact with the clothing's lines and the lines on the floor.  Really loved the review from Vogue discussing the Japanese influence shown in this collection in particular.

Ports 1961
Okay, the lines and silhouettes in this collection are amazing.  The soft neutral colors are perfect backdrops to the fascinating cuts to the pieces.

Sportmax
Zenon meets Alice in wonderland? Perhaps that's a strange comparison.  Second look is making me more excited to try out a dress and pants combo more than ever.  I love how they've been able to combine the feminine and the angular looks and patterns in this collection.

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

Image
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
