Starts with Fall Basics...

Hello! Fall officially arrived last week and this mild weekend was perfect for bringing out my Fall basics.

A casual draped sweater, skinny jeans classic, statement scarf and classic black bag

are all seasonless pieces that will easily take you from early Fall days to cooler winter months by adding a few layers.

To add some pop to an otherwise neutral ensemble, I added a pair of lovely calf-hair ankle strap heels in an Autumn-appropriate berry hue.

Next on my Fall shopping list? A versatile camel pea coat (I'm eyeing this one here). What are your Fall basics?

Starts with skulls and lace...

Happy Sunday! It was such a beautiful weekend here, and it's an especially special weekend because it's both my hubby's birthday and our one-year wedding anniversary!

For dinner earlier last week, I decided to branch out and reach for my skull scarf. This was an impulse purchase from Las Vegas a last year and really is more of the "edgier" pieces in my wardrobe. I'm loving how it contrasts with the lace top, and matches perfectly with the ruffled heels.  If it wasn't so delicate, I think this scarf would be worn much more often. For now, it's relegated to simple outfits to avoid snags and pulls in the silk.

We came upon these adorable lanterns set up at the Shoppes at Don Mills. For those who've been to The Grove in Los Angeles - the mall reminds me a bit of that. We don't get many months of warm weather there, so any chance to mix fresh air and shopping - I'm in!

Hope you're spending the weekend relaxing and enjoying time with loved ones!
