{Style} Abandoned...

Road trips seem to always be ripe with abandoned-old-building-sightings, which are like catnip for fashion bloggers. That's why I forced Mr. AiF to make a pit stop in a tiny little town to snap pics in front of an old automotive shop. I mean seriously, peeling paint, dirty windows and creepy remnants of it's past life scattered about always makes for a killer backdrop, if not only in my head. But then again lots of things seem better in my head, like fondue or the pleather-pant incident of 2001.

{Style} Smitten Style...

Mr. AiF gets bored looking at my blog when I don't write anything (his words), so I guess I felt a little peer pressured into adding some copy to this post... If you enjoy my usual, mindless ramblings, great; but if you don't, feel free to blame this one on him — I always enjoy doing so.

And in other, less accusatory news, the blogger clothing sale I mentioned Friday was a hit — I even came home with this cute little dress from my pal Jenna! Maybe we should have called the event shopaholics enabling shopaholics... xx

{Details} The Clash...

Sometimes the greatest combos are the most unexpected, like, oh I don't know, a green-toned jungle print paired with a vibrant coral... Hypothetically, of course. But seriously now, there's just something about taking a couple opposites, throwing them together and just watching the dumbfounded looks on people's faces, you know what I mean? Cue the evil genius laugh... xx

{Details} Nautical Stripes...

It's no big secret that I'm a huuuuge fan of stripes— I mean seriously, can you think of a more versatile print? It's an all-season style that can be rocked just as easily in spring as it can come fall, which is precisely why I love it so. This particular dress is perfect for brisk days because it's lined, long sleeved and lovely... How's that for your daily dose of alliteration? Throw on a woven belt, breezy vest and a pop-o-colour cuff (nicely done, Joe Fresh!) and you've got yourself a fall-tastic look. Easy peasy.
