If you follow my Instagram then you probably know that I dyed my hair purple. It was one of those spontaneous things I decided on a few days before my regularly scheduled hair appointment. Usually for Fall I tend to go with darker hair colour and because I felt like doing something different, purple just seemed like a fun idea.

As for outfits, I wasn’t sure at first what colour would work with my purple hair so I played it safe by wearing a white romper to the salon. I bought this romper from Garage last year but didn’t get a chance to wear it. Thankfully rompers are still in this summer or else this poor thing would never have seen the light of day. As I write this, it’s been a week exactly since I’ve dyed my hair purple, and I have to admit that I have no regrets about going with such a bold colour. Every now and then when I’m out in public I’ll catch someone staring hardcore – then I remind myself that I do have bright purple hair after all. Have any of you ever dyed your hair a bold colour? Do tell…

We’ve been incredibly lucky these past few weeks in Toronto, with the summer weather still in full swing even though Fall is just around the corner. I bought this cutout dress at the beginning of the summer. While I had brought it along with me on three separate occasions hoping to shoot it, neither of those worked out. However, thanks to these extended summer days I finally had a chance to wear and shoot it last week on our way out for Indian food.
Although I am kinda glad for the delay. Particularly because I’ve only had these pretty blush sandals from Lulus for a few days and otherwise would not have had the opportunity to shoot them together. I’m really digging the whole pastel kinda vibe and enjoying how the blush compliments the aqua of the skater cutout dress.
Well, here’s hoping for the warm days to stick around as long as possible as I still have a few more dresses I would like to wear before the season’s out.
 
Happy Sunday!

When it comes to transitioning from summer to fall, it is often bittersweet for me. As much as I look forward to the exciting new colours and textures of the season, the summer girl inside of me cries a little for the loss of summer and skin baring warm weather. Although with Fall come playful textures, deep and rich red and golden hues. In addition, Fall gives us the opportunity to be more creative with your layering game. Enter that perfect summer to fall transitional piece…

As soon as I laid my eyes on this tunic not only did I adore the cut, but I fell in love with the bold 70’s nostalgia print. I tend to stick to cooler colours but the boldness of this print screamed fall to me. While the cut and length of the tunic appeased the eternal summer girl inside of me. And my absolute favourite part?? Pockets!! Yes, I do get excited over pockets on dresses and skirts.

The ultra short length of this tunic makes it the perfect dress for those late summer days. And the colour palette will compliment those bold red and yellows we associate Fall with. I am almost looking forward to slightly cooler temperatures so that I can start layering this tunic over pants and denim. It’s pieces like this that help to ease my discontent about the end of summer days and Free People has been killing it this season with what I deem the oh so perfect summer to fall transitional piece. It seems like most of their dresses were made with the intent to provide an effortless transition into fall (case in point here). What are some pieces you are really looking forward to wearing soon? Are tunics and summer dresses in your rotation for Autumn?
