One item that should be in your closet this Fall season is the military jacket. I’m fortunate enough to have one from a few years ago that I held onto, and I usually throw it into rotation around this time of year. Even more reasons to wear them, military jackets are everywhere this season and so I’m looking forward to styling this one in the coming months.

Another staple of mine for the autumn and winter months are leggings. When I saw this cute pair from Free People I was drawn to them immediately because of the cutout and button detailing along the sides. I typically wear leggings with flats or more casual shoes. But these leggings were just so cute that they deserved a nice feminine heel to compliment them. I’m really happy with how they worked out, especially with this military jacket for an ultra feminine military chic look.

I find it’s always a bonus when you can score leggings that not only look cute casual but can also be dressed up. Likewise if they are a statement piece on their own, for those days when you’re lazy but still want to look stylish. They also come in lots of other yummy colours for Fall (here). It’s pieces like this that make this summer lovin’ girl get excited about Fall. What about you, any pieces that you’re really looking forward to styling this Fall?

Every now and then we make plans that just don’t work out. Didn’t get to shoot any blog photos last week. Then we made a completely spontaneous and last minute decision to head up to the cottage for the weekend. Which I thought might give us potential to make up for the lack of blog content, but it rained up there all weekend. Which in a way was kinda nice in itself…but a bit disappointing as I now fell even futher behind schedule for posts. We still had an amazing time hanging out and watching the rain from the inside, drinking vintage wine and watching countless Trailer Park Boys episodes…but most important of all just disconnecting from it all and taking some time to unwind.

We attempted shooting on Saturday, but our timing just would not coincide with the on and off again rain. Then on the very last day (wearing this bohemian look for the ride home) and having accepted defeat from a blog photography perspective, somehow on our way home we as we captured this magic. The timing of everything was uncanny, even down to seconds of time which aligned perfectly to make this happen. It’s amazing how sometimes things can turn around so quickly even after we have accepted what appears to be the  way. Thus reminding me that sometimes you just gotta go with the flow of things, and trust that things will work out, even if you yourself don’t see how.

The nautical trend has been everywhere this season. But as far as I was concerned it was sailing off into the distance never to be seen again. Until my eyes spotted this anchor tote that is. Immediately drawn to the bold red and white stripe, the contrast created by the overlaying anchor graphic was almost mesmerizing.

A beach tote had been on my wish list for quite some time, so simply put, I had to have this striped anchor tote. I didn’t even realize at first that the straps were made out of actual rope, which just made it that much more cuter. Not to mention quite the statement piece for the summer. And so I wore it to the beach last weekend, pairing it with a little white dress with a lace up front, lace up sandals and a hat, for some cute yet laid back nautical vibes.

Also making its debut at the beach last weekend was this charm bracelet I received from La Maison du Carat. While I’ve seen many charm bracelets none have quite stood out like this one. Amongst the  signature charms surrounding the band sit 3 perfectly sculpted panther charms. They are made of such exquisite beauty that at times I find myself wondering how such a miniature charm can be made with this much  intricate detail. This is quite the unique take on charm bracelets and is a style I truly adore. If you would like to pick one up for yourself use promo code AGNES25 to receive 25% off any purchase on La Maison du Carat’s site. This bracelet is just one of many beautiful and unique creations.

I would love to hear what you think of the nautical trend and statement pieces in this post. Do you have any beach tote or charm bracelet faves?
