Fall Favourites
This long sleeve top was a recent purchase after my shopping ban ended. A very simple piece with a bit of a knot in the front, super soft, comfortable, made in the US & designed in Canada. Damn I love it when something hits all my boxes!! It's going to be a great addition to my wardrobe in the next few months.

Fall's A Coming
It's the first week of September and it's basically full-on autumn. The temperatures have really taken a nose dive, although I'm having a hard time letting go of summer I am fully embracing fall fashion. I've had this jacket for 5 years, and I always find myself grabbing it when the temperatures start to dip. The dark purple keeps it a little more interesting!

Ode to a Season

Transition seasons are my very favourite seasons, it's not too hot, not too cold and for some reason they fill me with a sense of excitement. Much like other bloggers I seem to have a very soft spot for fall, I can't help it, the changing leaves! The colours! The clothing! It's pretty hard to resist. This autumn seems to be particularly beautiful.
I have to admit something here....I have a fetish. A jacket fetish. Our hall closet is packed to the brim and it's all me. I just recently added this super soft grey number to the mix and I love it. I justify my habit because it's so cold here for 6-8 months out of the year, I need lots of coats. That logic doesn't fly with Darcy when there's no room for his coats though...

Hike Alberta: Burstall Pass
We were so lucky to get to hit up Canmore before it got super cold and while there were a bunch of hikes we still wanted to do this season we picked Burstall Pass because we read it was stunning in the fall. Which it most certainly was; and challenging especially with the early season snow in mid September. We were bringing Duke along for the hike so the 4-6 hour time on this hike was perfect, it took us 5 hours (almost 3 up) with a break for snacks and to snap some photos.
Hiking for us is something we wish we could do every weekend, it's really such great exercise and pushes you to your limits. There were several steep inclines to reach to summit on this hike where both Darcy and I were winded. We're both in pretty great shape so it's great when we can be pushed to that point. It was so refreshing to be outside on such a crisp fall day, and the views truly were well worth it.
Now we can't wait till next year to see what other hikes we can try!

Ummmm, how is it already September? And for that matter, how is basically fall...the leaves are full on changing. I have to admit I am excited because I like transitional seasons best, but I'm feeling a bit sad at summers passing. I know that in a few months that means parkas, that means scraping off my truck windows at 545am and it means no more bare exposed anything....Sorry if that killed your vibe. But! It also means pumpkin spiced everything, big ass cozy sweaters, blanket scarfs, watching my dog navigate snow is hilarious.
So over the next two months or so get used to seeing this jacket because baby, it's gunna be on repeat. I am all about this colour for fall and winter this year, I would like my entire wardrobe to be black, camel, mustard and pops of burgundy. Yassss, I guess I am excited for summer to be done. Also I finally was forced to replace my old distressed jeans with these ones, which are pretty wonderful. My old ones succumbed to the size of my booty and busted apart in the butt seam. SO glamorous.

Now that its gotten quite chilly over the weekend, it feels like forever since bare legs and backs. But I still have hopes I can bare my legs once again before the snow flies. I cant help that I am a warm blooded mammal and I hate being cold!
For an outfit thrown together at the last minute I must say I was quite pleased with this look to celebrate my birthday. I had something else planned but it was going to be less accommodating in the gorge yourself on taco regions, so a change had to be made! However, I hate when things bunch up under fitted skirts, is there a trick my mom was supposed to teach me but just forget....help me.
