fall

Wow, what a difference stepping away and taking time to take care of yourself makes, friends. This past year I was forced to reckon with myself and some of the demons I was facing. Add chronic stress + mental health struggles in addition to dealing with body image issues + add a fashion blog into the mix and something's gotta give. So, besides a few shoots/posts in the spring (which I truthfully shouldn't have done) I decided that the blog needed to be put on the back burner to protect my mental health. Yet leaving it untouched tugged on my heart strings.

Today's post is brought to you by Chanel No. 1, outfit repeater and proud! I've had this turtleneck for 5 years and it has become somewhat of a signature Chanel look? It's something I wear over and over again and still love. While it's been featured on the blog before I really love these pictures we took at Schaake's Pumpkin Patch! If you've never been to this pumpkin patch before its a sight for sore eyes.

Hi beautiful people! Happy Chanel-o-ween! I think this just might be my favorite fall post yet. Thanks to my friend Mallory who accompanied me to a pumpkin patch that I've lived by my entire life yet have never visited until today.

Hello! Merry October! “October, baptize me with leaves! Swaddle me in corduroy and nurse me with split pea soup. October, tuck tiny candy bars in my pockets and carve my smile into a thousand pumpkins. O autumn! O teakettle! O grace!” -Rainbow Rowell, Attachments.

I know fall has just begun but I am beginning to round up my inspiration and make my wish list for this season. Overall, I am inspired by elegant but minimalist looks, and monochromatic colors. My fall/winter uniform would be a cashmere sweater or turtleneck, skinny jeans, ankle boots, a classic leather bag, and glam makeup + a silk scarf somehow thrown in there. Here is some of my inspiration.

Hello! Anyone, out there? It hasn't been that long since my last post, has it? Well as usual studying for my defense against the dark arts classes take up most of my time. However, I dream of blogging periodically, and I finally got around to giving JMC a facelift!

Since my favourite time of year, Autumn, is just around the corner, I decided to wear an old thrifted blouse before I lost the crisp warmth of September.
