Yesterday was filled with adventure, as Mr. AiF and I headed out of town for a little picnic and a lot of exploring... There were finger foods, lush greenery (pictured above) and weird, X-Files-inspired architecture (definitely not pictured above). Hey, gotta keep things interesting, am I right?

But enough about me, how was your Labour Day? Fill me in, lovelies! xx

{Style} High Gloss Black...

Happy weekending, everyone! Whatever you end up doing, I hope it involves lots of sweet treats, downtime and cuddles! xx

{Style} The Statement Sweater...

I feel like a total traitor in saying this, but I internally fist pump whenever temperatures drop and the days get a little crisp around here... Wtf is wrong with me, you ask? Well I'm sorry, but if loving layering as much as I do is wrong, then I don't want to be right. Besides, it's been months since I've worn a sweater let alone popped a collar underneath one, so I figured I was long overdue for a Kenzo moment... Next up is tights, but if I say that aloud Kastles might just beat me with a stick.

Happy Friday, friends! Hope you guys have a nice, layer-filled weekend! xx

{Style} Back to Life...

Well, it's official; I survived camping in the bear-ridden back-country (nice initiation, huh?) with only two near car accidents, a minor tent fire (I'm not joking) and half a dozen bug bites... Let's just say it's been quite a weekend. Good thing I don't have to work today, because I really need the extra day to sort out my life (and my back).

But enough about me, how was everybody's weekend?! Fill me in! xx

{Style} Lucky Stripe...

If I didn't know any better, I would say we're having an unofficial stripe theme week here on AiF... And by week I of course mean a three day stint, but still. All stripes, all the time. Stay tuned to see which print I abuse next week — Watch out polka dots, this could mean you.

Happy Friday, friends! Let's make every moment count... xx

{Details} Back to Basics...

Summer is all about breezy separates, simple yet impactful accessories and — on particularly humid days — the absence of bangs. Although not always a fan of the latter (so exposed!), I'm totally down with the rest. I mean really, loose tops that don't stick to you when temperatures spike? Sign me up! Oversized sunnies that could transform any hot mess (pun intended) into a total chic machine? Yus please! Studded flats that could be walked in for days? Obvi! Throw in a frozen treat or two, and I should be good for the next few months... Menchies anyone?

{Style} Boardwalk Empire...

Never one to turn down a photo op, I was pretty pumped when my friend Jerry (yes, the dude in the bacon suit) offered to go on a photo adventure this week... What a guy! Turns out he's a bit of a wizard behind the lens, especially considering the fact that he generally photographs houses and not picky fashion bloggers — And take it from me, anyone who puts up with requests for "vertical lower body detail shots" and "horizontal full body landscapes" without complaint deserves a medal. Or, you know, at least a macaron or two.

Happy Friday friends! xx
