So as you may have noticed, I have been M.I.A. for the past week, and in the meantime, I have been doing some online shopping. I had all of my widsom teeth taken out last week and have been slowly recovering and getting back into a normal routine. I didn't expect to feel so tired and out of it, but I was still coherent enough to do some online shopping. I usually don't like to buy things without trying them on or seeing and feeling them in person, but since I didn't leave the house for 5 days straight, I thought I would give it a try.

I got 3 tops from Forever 21, and am hoping to update my fall wardrobe with some more professional but fun blouses. I wanted to get tops that I can wear for any type of occasion, not just distinct "work" "play".

Here's some inspiration looks that I found to get some ideas for styling them. Hope to share them soon.

For fall I have been going more the route of mixing basics and minimal colour. Sometimes it's nice to play around with neutrals and create a modest look that still makes you feel confident. Sabrina Meijer is the perfect inspiration and has the minimalistic look down to a science.

Here's a look at how you can use pieces in your summer wardrobe and transition them for fall and winter. A dreaded thought, but yes, winter is coming. Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy the last day of summer. I'm off to beautiful Port Carling, Ontario!

Just realized how much happier I look in the summer pictures. Can you tell I hate winter?

You have to join me in drooling over this amazing shoot by Plant Blue. I am obsessed with their lookbooks and wish I could pull off every look like these gorgeous girls do. It even tempts me to dye my hair some crazy colour. Doesn't it look sick?
