Basics

It's officially September now! My mind is already in fall mode and here are some of my favourite fall staples for my wardrobe.

I think a good trench coat is always a necessity for those autumn days, since it is easy to throw on and layer with any outfit.

Next you're going to need a sweater, or a couple, maybe more.. I chose a knitted striped sweater since stripes are so awesome and go with everything. This will keep you looking cute and casual.

Boyfriend jeans, or just distressed jeans in general are an essential for me. Pretty much a blue pair and a black pair is all you need to build your outfits on for the whole season.

A white tee shirt will be great for layering with a flannel, or even a cardigan over. I love my cardigans and they're so cozy. Fall just means cozy errythang for me.
And also- no one's going to need to know if I didn't shave my legs for a week.

Now onto the shoes I always like a good pair of booties. I'm currently on the hunt for some tan booties, but black booties will be just as versatile.

A nice knit scarf keeps me warm and comfy for my walks to school.

What are your fall essentials? Do you agree/disagree with any of mine?
Leave a comment below I'd love to read it!

Trends I've Fallen For

I live in Vancouver, it's practically hipsters everywhere. Once one person starts wearing/doing a thing, everyone follows! And sometimes I can't help it...some things are just too pretty to pass up.
Here are some things that I've fallen for lately but I'm probably too cool to admit. Get the pun? It's almost fall since school starts for many people..hence why I've fallen for these things. I'm lame okay?

First up are flowy shorts!! You've seen these on young teenaged girls and probably others but these are both comfy and cute. You look like you tried but you're pretty much wearing sweatpants. Does it get better? Nahh.
Birkenstocks...not really a trend since it's not new but I've recently rediscovered them and they're on everyone's feet! Comfy and cute..I'm noticing a theme here.
My next favourite trend is single strap sandals. I've mostly been seeing these on blogs than in real life but I'm in shoe envy! They are so chic and go with everything. It rains a lot here so I don't know if I want to invest in a nice pair but these are definitely on my wish list!
Pretty much floral is my favourite print evarr and kimonos are an essential! Especially from transition for summer into fall, kimonos are going to be great for those days where I'm not sure if it's warm but still wanna be prepared.
Next I just have a picture of Vanessa Hudgens because she is my style queen and I love her! Have you seen her Coachella outfits? I'm constantly in envy of this woman.
Overalls are just great overall. That was lame. But seriously. Once again, old but new.
I feel like I'm gonna need a nice wool floppy hat for my fall wardrobe. Currently on the hunt. Forever21 seems to have some decently priced ones but I have quite a big head so this will be tricky.
Last but not least, open toed/heel boots! Or are they sandals? Whatever they are I want some!! I thought they were kind of odd and ugly at first but I've really come to like them a lot!

Spring Sneakers

I don't know what is is but I've really been loving slip on sneakers lately! I really love the boyish look that they have which can easily be spiced up with simple prints and designs. I love the mints and pastels for spring but a darker pair could also easily be transitioned into. On those lazy days slip ons are perfect to wear with a nautical tee and some boyfriend jeans!

New Obsession: Halter Tops

I know this isn't really a new trend but I love halter tops sooo much. There's something about halter tops that just draw me in, they're so simple but instantly make an outfit look edgier. Printed, plain, floral, stripes; halter tops are the perfect middle between crop tops and tank tops. I can't wait to wear them when the weather warms up a bit!

Spring Trends: Cutout Boots

Cutout Boots by maaelin
Cutout boots are a very new and popular trend in street style and bloggers; from the very well known Jeffrey Campbell to Steve Madden, all the big companies are selling them, each with their own unique twist to the look! I've been eyeing cutout boots for awhile now, simply because I love how effortless they show off skin and that I won't have to worry about my feet suffocating due to the warmer weather. Cutout ankle boots are such a simple way to add a bit of an edge to an outfit. Here I have a few of my favourite cutout boots. I just ordered a pair of cutout booties from Urban Outfitters today!
