Ultimate Fall Essentials

Hi there! Inspired by Raise.com, I figured that since it's very nearly fall, it'd be a good idea to share with you my fall essentials for this year.

Raise.com is a website where you can sell or buy gift cards for a discount. We all get gift cards to places sometimes that we don’t actually shop at very often and they end up wasting away in our wallets, so I really love how Raise.com gives you a chance to both get rid of unwanted gift cards and buy them at a discounted price.

For all the essentials I’ll be mentioning, you can buy gift cards from the site to get whatever it is you’re looking for at a lower price. I’ll also be including links for each one to some stores at which you can purchase these items for your benefit as well!

So let’s get into it.

Style Diary: Back to Burgundy

Hi there! Time is flying by and already my first week of school is nearly over. It's been pretty good so far and it's nice to get to see my friends again and get into a regular routine after being a bit all over the place this past summer. Some people I'm surrounded by aren't as happy about school as I am, but I'm trying not to let their negativity (or mild lack of enthusiasm) to get to me and spoil my mood.

Fall Favourite: Layering

Hi there! It officially feels like fall where I live and if you didn't already know, fall is definitely my favourite season EVER. Sure, summer's great because there isn't school and there's my birthday, but it's just hot, man, and it's really hard sometimes to find the energy within you to not just throw on a tank top, denim shorts, and head out the door. Or not even get dressed at all, because what's the point in dressing up when no one's going to see you?

When I think of fall, I think of leaves changing, the resurrection of boots, mittens, everything pumpkin, and most importantly for us fashion lovers - layering. I just love layering, like it's not even funny. But after one or two weeks, I kind of get burnt out. Why? Because sometimes, I'm just not creative with my layering.

So with today's post, I wanted to share some really cool ways to layer to get your creative juices flowing for when you're putting together your outfits in the morning. If you think these ideas are totally not out-there and different, just think of it as any other outfit inspiration post. You'll thank me later. ;)

Looks for Less: Taylor Swift Edition

A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about Taylor Swift's amazing style.  Since fall is creeping up on us, today's post will feature a few of my favourite autumn-appropriate Taylor Swift street style looks.  If you haven't read any of these posts in the past, I basically recreate three (or so) of my favourite outfits from a certain celebrity or designer at a lower price.  Enjoy!
