Halloween Inspired Outfit Three

Vampire Vixen

I'm typically not into Hot Topic-esque fashion, but I sometimes cant help myself from dressing very young around Halloween. This look is very vampire inspired, without being a costume. I own a backpack very similar to this one and I'm always shocked by how many compliments I get when I wear it.

October Sun

Here are a few snaps from when we photographed our lovely friends for our hats post.

Soaking up the very last of the rays of sunshine before the real cold sets in.

(Obsessed with these pleather leggings!)

Halloween Inspired Outfit Two

In the Eye of the Beholder 

Getting into the Halloween spirit doesn't mean that modesty has to be thrown out of the window. This look is a bit spooky because of the Victorian print of the shoes and the print of the dress, yet it is very feminine and can even be worn to the office. I would pair this look with a dark wine lipstick to add a bit more mystery.

Dress: Kenzo

Hats, Caps, & Snapbacks












We've been obsessed with hats all summer and will continue to be moving into Autumn! Whether they have a buckle or have a snap-back, bring them our way. We don't have to tell you that they're especially perfect for bad hair days, but they are a fashionable option. 

Asia is known for putting bad (and very inappropriate) English translations on apparel... which is hilarious and we love it.

You can find phrases such as "DRUNKEN," "DOPE," "ONE OF A KIND" (shout out to G-Dragon) and other, more obscene, words on hats here and we want them all!

Halloween Inspired Outfits

Dressing up for Halloween doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be in full costume. There are many fashionable ways to get into the Halloween spirit - without splattering your face with fake blood, sporting a mask or wearing your sexiest lingerie. Over the next four weeks, we will be posting some Halloween inspired outfits. Hope you enjoy them!

Day of the Dead

Sugar skulls are the iconic symbol of the day after Halloween, Mexican holiday, Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead), but they can be seen in fashion year round. This look is functional, comfortable and it channels my inner J.Lo. I'm a proud owner of a pair of leather joggers and I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a stylish fall pant. 

Sweatshirt: Pierce the Veil
Pants: Neil Barrett
Shoes: Nike

Autumn Audio


October has arrived- which means it's finally the perfect temperature for afternoon bike rides and evening strolls. Autumn is without a doubt my favorite season because of the amount of time I spend outdoors. Music is my preferred walking companion, so here is a small collection of songs that I enjoy listening to on my morning commute to work. Give them a listen. xx

Fall Favorites




Fall is upon us! After a humid summer of damp clothes and frizzy hair, we can finally pack away our crop tops and sandals to make way for oversized sweaters and leather booties.

 
I am channeling my inner Gothic Princess with my favorite items for fall. 

First of all, I love everything with a little pleather, but especially a good pair of pleather leggings. They add a stylish, playful touch to any outfit. I really like to pair mine with a black blouse or oversized sweater. 

Speaking of, have a peek at that "Province of Canada" sweater! I've had my eye on this piece for a while now; I like it's simplistic design and how perfectly it would go with my pleather leggings. 

Next up, a black floppy hat - they're just so chic... I can't wait to wear mine out this fall! 

Let's talk lipstick. I love wearing loud, vibrant colors during the spring and summer, but it's just as fun to wear rich, deep colors in the colder seasons. Wine-colored lipsticks are my favorite thing to complete an all-black outfit.

The last "must-have" of my fall favorites is a pair of stylish running shoes. If you live in a city like I do, a pair of comfortable shoes is essential to someone who walks everywhere! 

Let us know what your favorites for fall are, too!

Bisous,

Marie-Anne
