It's definitely getting colder outside (and rainier, if you live in Vancouver) as Winter is creeping up on us, but I'm still trying to embrace the Fall season before I start breaking out the down-filled parkas. I put together a few looks that I hope will inspire you to do the same! If I had to pick one item as a must-have for the transition between Fall and Winter, it would definitely have to be the fur vest. The word "fur" may sound expensive, but I was able to find a great deal here at Forever21!  

I hope you've all been keeping warm - have a great week, thanks for reading!

DON'T YOU HATE SOCKS?

Here's another set of photos I took up in Berkeley while visiting The Boy. I really the neighbourhoodly feel that Berkeley has - it's a very quaint place with lots of really great local boutiques and amazing coffee shops. My personal favourite is Sack's Coffee House - lots of tables, a great selection of teas, and a grungy, cellar-type feel that's somehow very relaxing.

This sweater dress was something I picked up at Madewell (quite possibly my favourite store, ever). It's so comfortable and very appropriate for Fall, though I may have plucked it out of the closet to wear a tad early since I was sweltering in it that day. I am normally not a fan of socks at all, but these TNA by Aritzia socks were just too soft to pass up. I figured I would need socks sooner or later. These Eastland shoes go with the whole comfort pattern and are perfect for giving any outfit that rugged, undone look. The tear in the stockings were unintentional, but I guess they worked out nicely here.

I spent the weekend battling what I think is the flu, and am still dealing with its stubborn effects. I hope to be back to full health by the end of this week - lots of things to do, lots of people to see!

I'm Diana - but don't be a stranger, call me Dee. It took me a heck of a long time to finally get the guts to do this, but here it is: my first blog about fashion, food, and tidbits of other things I enjoy in life. I'm a Canadian (oh, yes) who is currently residing in sunny Southern California in hopes of finding her place here on the west coast. It's a journey in progress - along the way, I hope you will join me in my experiences and endeavours... and I, with yours. Cheers!
