Good day everyone,

Or since it's currently 11:30 pm, good evening! I just had one heck of a long day with technological malfunctioning (what else is new?), project deadlines, and rushing all over Vancouver. Nevertheless, there were more than a few things that made me smile on this sunny/cloudy/rainy day. First off, I got to see the fabulous Luv from Fashion to the Nine in order to chat over lunch and coffee, after which we took the opportunity to take some more blog post pictures with my new camera lens. Then after class I enjoyed an hour long spa date with the bf as a super early Christmas present (we can never actually give our presents in December, we are always too impatient). After enjoying my luxurious facial and body exfoliation, I felt so relaxed and sleepy that I didn't want to leave. Last but not least, I got into contact with a local fashionista (who has mutual friends with me) over Instagram of all places! Now we're all set for a dinner date on Saturday and I'm super excited to dress up and get to know this lovely lady better. 

For this particular outfit, I was enjoying a wonderful and rare off day from both work and school; however, I felt the need to dress up for a coffee and shopping date with Luv and so went with this fur vest and monochromatic ensemble. I was especially proud of myself for managing to wear only "old" items (read: items more than a few months old), such as this Kenneth Cole shirt and H&M dress. Also, I've been going crazy wearing skirt and sweater combinations lately-- I think I need an intervention soon. What are some of your favourite fall outfits lately?
