You Are a Tourist

You Are a Tourist- Death Cab for Cutie

It's always strange returning to the place you grew up. I felt like a tourist in my hometown, and it was only then that I realized how different I am now from the girl who left. Not different in the sense of who I am deep down- don't worry guys, I'll always be a book worm, design obsessed goofball- but more sure of who I am and with a much less bruised heart. (yay!)

And it really was a lovely week back, filled with so many people (and animals!) that I love, river rafting, hiking, dinners, and hanging out on the town's new pedestrian area (aww it was such a BIG deal for the little town).

White Tank- H&M, Grey Jersey Skirt- Aritzia, Straw Clutch- Vintage, Woven Belt- Aldo, Silver Flats- Joe Fresh, Wrap Bracelet- Club Monaco

And one of my favourite times was just relaxing at my parent's acreage, in the comfiest outfit ever (LOVE this jersey skirt!), feeling very much like I know who I am and where I'm going. 

Cheers to mistakes, second chances, amazing friends and fresh starts.

The Great Escape

The Great Escape: Patrick Watson

There's no denying it, I'm a classic kind of girl; I love love love timeless pieces. I feel most comfortable in the classic items that my mum (and possibly grandma) would have worn. A trench and a brocade scarf fall into this gorgeous category. So, on my day off this week, between packing, calling hotels and washing many (many!) loads of laundry, I snuggled up in my cozy camel trench and felt completely at home. 

Camel Coat: Le Chateau, Brocade Scarf: Smart Set, Beige Sweater: J Crew, Black Jeans: Gap, Nude Heels: Aldo

And with that... here I go! I have my whirlwind trip ahead of me, I'll try to stay in touch (I'd miss you all too much!)  and I have a few posts lined up. Also, if anyone knows any good French sentences for me, please comment, I need all the help I can get!

Au Revoir!

A Little Bit

A Little Bit- Madi Diaz

Yet another men's shirt has found it's way into my closet, but this time it's in the coziest flannel plaid print. Perfect for fall, and good enough to sleep in (don't judge! lol) It's definitely feeling like fall here, crisp and bright, I'm very much in love with it! Now I'm just on the hunt for the remaining things on my wish list (at right), but all the options I keep finding are beautiful, and most definitely out of my budget! Hmm... I see a very long day of thrifting in my future! 

Flannel Shirt- Bluenotes (Mens)
Jeans- Winners
Boots and Turquoise Ring- Aldo
Bag- Thrifted
Belt- Vintage
Necklace- Marc Jacobs

Anyways I'm just one big ball of happiness today (do you ever have days when things just work? Today happens to be one of mine!) I got all my errands done super early, did a bunch of work and then booked a trip to Paris!! I know!!! You should see me right now, I'm in bliss! I'm not going until November, but I'm sure I'll be talking about it so much that you will all hate me. Sorry in advance.

How is your day going?
