{Wardrobe Wednesday} Phillip Lim Clutch

{ My go-to, the 31 Minute pouch }

This week's WW is all about the neutral, go-to clutch, which for me has recently become the Phillip Lim 31 minute pouch (they actually call it a cosmetics case, but who would be crazy enough to spend 300 big ones on a makeup bag?!). Anyway, I decided to update my previous staple — this vintage YSL clutch that I scored for $4 at a thrift shop — because I wanted to reduce the amount of wear it was inevitably getting. I don't know about you guys, but I like to preserve my things for as long as humanly possible, which means being mindful not to 'overexert' anything... Makes sense, right? I'd like to think so, although I'm sure Mr. AiF would tell you that's just me enabling my shopping addiction. Potato, potato.

Thanks for reading, and happy Wardrobe Wednesday!

So for something completely different from yesterday's post, I bring to you — drumroll please — the back alley. That's right my friends, I like to spice things up like that. 'Wow, how original! What will she do next?!' you ask in disbelief? Stick with me kids and there could such exotic oddities as gravel in your near future. xx

Well here's a sight you probably never expected to see around these parts — faux leather sweat pants. In my defense, I was overcome by the sheer novelty (at least for me) and awesomeness that is these pants while hunting for holiday wear yesterday (but that's a story for another day). I sheepishly tried them on — half in disbelief over my selection, half in shame of my new-found admiration for shiny sweats — and scurried over to the checkout counter before I could change my mind. And you know what? Turns out I'm kind of in love with these ridiculous pants after all... Sorry, not sorry.

Happy Monday, friends! xx

Nothing says 'weekend wear' quite like slouchy sweaters and ankle boots, or as I like to refer to them, my new fall uniform. These suede Massimo Dutti booties in particular fit like a dream, and the very sight of them conjures up images of pumpkin fields and hot apple cider in my mind... Man am I ever ready for fall! And as far as this weekend goes, I'm thinking of getting hopped up on Pumpkin Spice Lattes and purging my closet like a mo-fo to make room for more booties and, well, slouchy sweaters... It's an evil, yet beautiful cycle.

Happy Friday, friends! xx

Yesterday was filled with adventure, as Mr. AiF and I headed out of town for a little picnic and a lot of exploring... There were finger foods, lush greenery (pictured above) and weird, X-Files-inspired architecture (definitely not pictured above). Hey, gotta keep things interesting, am I right?

But enough about me, how was your Labour Day? Fill me in, lovelies! xx

{Style} The Long and Shorts Of It...

Sometimes the stars align and the retail gods smile down on you juuuuust long enough to score something you didn't know you wanted — or heck, even needed — until the moment you lay eyes on it. Throw in a mind-blowing sale, and you've got yourself the stuff of miracles.... Or, you know, personal debt. Either way, totally awesome. Which brings me to exhibit A: these mighty fine McQ Alexander McQueen shorts. Not only were they about 80% off at Simons (score!), but they fit and flatter in ways that my other shorts could only dream of... Eat your heart out, denim cut offs! xx
