fall may be creeping up in spurts and starts, but when winter inevitably hits, it always seems to do so full-throttle. that's why ~ for the first time EVER ~ i'm stocking up on weather-ready accessories BEFORE they become necessities. just ordered the boots below ~ the ones on the left for when it's snowing but i still have to be seen (unfortunately, meetings happen in january too!), and the ones on the right for every other run-around day:

as for cold weather caps? i'm thinking a jil sander-inspired DIY just might be in order:

AQUAMARINE

Even though I consider myself to be a seasoned pro when it comes to thrifting, it's still a rare and cherished moment when I come across beautiful, well-fitting and not to mention unique items. Cue this aquamarine blazer I found at one of my favourite thrift stores months ago. The funny thing is, I already had a near-identical blazer sitting at home that was just the tiniest bit bluer, but I bought it regardless. Reason? You just can't say no to a gem like this! And I have no regrets whatsoever. In fact, I prefer this blazer over the first because it's a much better fit and its slightly greener hue makes it that much more unique. Anyone else see an aquamarine-bordering-on-mint-and-sometimes-teal blazer anywhere else? 
On the topic of unique, may I also direct your attention to these shoes? I can't believe I haven't done an outfit post with these yet, because I've been wearing them everywhere all summer! These sandals are my go-to summer "flat" (haha, technically it's a low wedge) and are my absolute favourite. I mean, they're BRIGHT ORANGE how could I not?! The fact that their minimalist design in such a bold colour just seems so Jil Sander...well, that's not a bad thing either.

i think it's pretty clear what the accent color du jour is this season: cobalt hues are red-hot!!
