Fall Vibes and Halloween Makeup Inspo

Fall Vibes with Nest Fragrances

October. The month of Thanksgiving (for us Canadians) and of course Halloween. To be perfectly honest with you, both holidays that historically I’ve never really celebrated. With a European background I was more used to celebrating Día de los Muertos, or All Saints Day which falls on November 1st, and we never really had a Thanksgiving either. Growing up of course as a kid here in Toronto we did the Halloween thing, and over the years we’ve come to embrace the Thanksgiving holiday as it truly is a wonderful time to get together with loved ones and reflect what we’re thankful for.

First off, no reputable brand and clothing designer would put language on their clothing intended to encourage drug use. And even the suggestion was absurd. So then I had to really think hard on it. Because apparently this patch was a big deal to everybody who had to ask me what it meant. Continue reading “Flying Into Fall With This Pink Cardigan”

Transitional Summer to Fall Wardrobe

Transitional Summer to Fall Wardrobe

So here we are. That awkward time of year when it’s chilly in the mornings,  scorching hot during the day, and cool at night. Made even more awkward by the summer to fall, back to summer weather confusion. This time of year makes for a great time to play around with layering. Not only to look cute but also to keep up with the random weather changes.

The past few days have just been just beautiful. Oh so hot temperatures that had me digging out the cutoffs I had already stowed away for the season. Skirts and dresses also made an appearance. Thus making it hard to believe that just a week prior I was wearing jeans and knit sweaters with the occasional lightweight jacket wondering where summer had gone.
