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?

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.
