Sun Patch

Hunter boots, bag c/o Mary Nichols, cape c/o Look Bible, Club Monaco scarf & shirt,
rings c/o Lia Sophia, gloves c/o Spank, earrings c/o Poshlocket, necklaces c/o Brooklyn Designs
 This was yet another café-surfing outfit (it seems to be all I dress for as of late, isn’t it?). It is pouuuuring rain now, but fortunately a day or two ago when Jen and I met up for some quick pics at the gallery, there was this really beautiful golden light for a 30 minute window. Being the Vancouver girl that I am though, I was still drizzle-ready: my Hunter boots in basic black, navy cape with a very handy hood and cozy accessories were all rain-apropos. I worked a few more delicate gold pieces from Brooklyn Designs in – so easy to pile and layer on, love them.
Can’t believe it’s Friday already! This week entirely flew by – I don’t know if I’m just getting older and time seems to shoot by faster or if this year has just been crazy, but it’s really kind of shocking how weeks and months seem to just slip by. Anyone else experiencing this?

    I'm thinking of getting the hunter boots for the rainy season ahead. Yesterday's downpour kind of pushed me further towards them haha.
    Where is the purse from? I love the style of it.

    I so know what you mean about time flying by, my lovely pal – I've been in Paris for almost two months, but it feels like I arrived yesterday! Maybe time flies when you're having fun? Always love this cape of yours, so pretty. Miss you, girl!

    I agree, weeks pass by very quickly but I think it's because one's so busy. Weekends seem to last longer when one takes time to relax during them. Don't you think?
    I love the fact that you've used rain boots in this photo shoot. Here in Helsinki, we also follow so called practical fashion because our lives and therefore clothing is so dependent on the weather 🙂 This post put a smile upon my face! It's nice to notice again how much we have in common even though we're located in so remote places!
    Thank you for your kind comment on my blog, I'm glad you liked my leaf-people post 🙂

    Wow you make Hunter boots look so elegant and stunning Alex lol! I know what you mean about time flying by; I've been wondering just when it decided to speed up so much as well. Sometimes I miss those super long summers where you almost, almost, wished that it would speed up into Fall.
