Sugar Dusted

Remember when I told you about my hunt for the perfect cozy sweater coat?

I didn't find it at The Anthropologie, Holt Renfrew, or even ShopBop.

I found it, of all places, at Abercrombie, after I was inspired by The Anthology's own A&F number.

On clearance too. And it goes perfectly with my tall easy-whip peppermint mocha.

Wearing:
Abercrombie and Fitch multi-colour sweater coat
TNA top, Aritzia
Furla brown suede bag, circa mid 90's
Cream crochet beret, hand-knitted gift from extended family in Northern China
Flat Equestrian Boots, from Hong Kong

Winter Essentials

We've been in a deep freeze on the west coast of Canada now for nearly a week, and with more snow in the forecast, it makes these winter essentials all the more necessary.

I recently bought a pink beret from Fine Finds, kind of like this one, only mine is a bit fuzzier as it's made of mohair and less cable-ly. Pink isn't usually a favorite colour of mine but this one was so sweet and pairs so nicely with grey that I had to grab it. Plus -15 Celsius outside made it an easy decision.



I've also been living in my Matt Bernson Rivington boots the entire autumn and although they're not any good in the snow, they've been my number one purchase this fall. They match everything - tucked into skinnies and tights, with flowy dresses and bubble skirts. I love the slim wedge heel, the gold side snap buttons, and adjustable leather straps. The smell of the leather was just lovely (being an equestrian, I am a leather freak).
