It's officially autumn and although I'm a little sad that summer is over, I am looking forward to the changing leaves, crisp air and pumpkin spice lattes. Dressing for this transitional season can be tricky, since the mornings are cool and by the afternoon I'm usually sweating through my layers. This breezy dress topped with a leather jacket has fixed my transitional-dressing woes so far. How do you dress for the fluctuating temperatures as the seasons change?

Vested

I've recently discovered the versatility of vests. They're a fantastic layering piece and when it's tailored like this one, they pull together an outfit as perfectly as a blazer. A jacket without sleeves is genius for the summer months. Next on my radar to purchase: a denim vest and a sleeveless trench.

Pretty in Pink

I pulled out this pretty neon pink dress to wear that I bought last summer for $20 at H&M. I really should wear it more often because it's perfect for weddings, high tea, or even just sitting on the couch watching Molly Ringwald movies.

On Repeat

{ Leather Jacket: H&M The New Icons Collection // Tiger T-shirt: Zara // Jeans: Gap // Sandals: Fergalicious by Fergie // Mirrored Sunglasses: Ray-Ban // Clutch: DIY (thanks mom!) // Ring: YSL Arty }

Two items that have been on constant repeat are these green mirrored Ray-Bans (here and here) and this H&M leather jacket (here and again here). Hope you don't mind seeing them so much, because I'm sure they'll continue to make many more appearances on the blog!

I'm also debuting this cow print clutch my mom made for me. Growing up, she would sew clothes for me (and even my Barbie dolls), and she still accepts my sewing requests to this day because she's my mama. Aren't moms the best?

Slip Dressing

This dress definitely channels a nightgown/slip but it's just too pretty to be worn under layers. Substantial pieces like a sturdy black leather bag and caged high heel sandals grounds the airiness of the dress just enough to wear on its own.

On another note, today marks my daughter's very first day of preschool! It's craziness, I tell ya. They really do grow up fast.

When my husband saw me in this heart sweater he said it was cute and that I looked like a Care Bear (in a good way). I'd say that's a fair description! Tenderheart is the Care Bear with a big red heart on his chest who "helps others to be the most caring they can be." If that's who I'm emulating when wearing this sweater, that's not such a bad thing to be. Spread the love :)

Meet my new favourite blouse. I Instagrammed a photo of me trying it on in the H&M fitting room and it seems that many of you adore it as much as I do. I bought it just over a month ago so if it tickles your fancy, get it while you can!

The weather in Vancouver was so perfect over the weekend. It was warm and sunny, which made it incredibly nice to wear open-toed shoes without being cold! I wore this little number for a lunch date in the Olympic Village. I used to stay away from wearing black and yellow together because I thought it made me look like a bee, but I've come to enjoy the colour combination. What do you think?
