When temperatures drop, I like to add bright layers and beautiful accessories to the mix to dull the pain of yet another winter. Pops of red, plaid and leather galore is the name of the game this time of year, so here are a few of my current favourites (including these delicious boots from Dr. Martens). What are your winter go-tos? xx

{Style} Bundled...

When a scarf simply won't do, sometimes you need something a little more akin to a blanket wrapped around those shoulders... Enter my Urban Outfitters plaid cape. I bought it last fall, and on particularly cold days, it gets to come out of closet hibernation and resume its rightful place � Strewn around my neck in jumbo scarf form. Oooh yeah. xx

{Details} Tie One On...

Can we just take a minute to talk about scarves? I don't know what it is about these little strips of fabric, but they bring me joy like nobody's business. There's just so many styles, prints and finishes to choose from that I can't help wanting them all... Not exactly helpful when you're battling Stuffed Closet Syndrome (commonly known as SCS), but I digress.

This Beta scarf is my latest flavor of the week, with its cute colour, skull motif and silky goodness constantly leaving me wanting more... And did I mention the whole silk thing? Sorry, but it bares repeating... Silk. OK there, I'm done.

Happy Wednesday lovelies! xx

{Style} Wooded Walk...

So I never thought I would be saying this, but the whole not shopping thing is actually working out for me. After my initial withdrawals faded (that part was not fun, believe me), I stopped feeling compelled to buy things just for the sake of buying them. And the amount of awesomeness I've rediscovered within my own wardrobe astounds me. I think I've only worn this blazer once before (super cray!), and it had been eons since I last wore this vintage scarf or these Joe Fresh pumps... What can I say ladies and gentlemen, I'm a new woman.

{Style} Rain Man...

Rainy days don't have to be all doom and gloom, especially when there are fun accessories to brighten up your mood. Now that I'm "shopping my closet" instead of actually shopping (read this for details), I've been having a lot of fun rediscovering old favourites. Take this scarf for instance; It was a thoughtful gift from one of my besties (thanks Jen!), but somehow I had forgotten all about it... Not hard when you typically buy more stuff than you can keep track of, but I digress. Anyway, the bright colours and paisley prints arranged throughout the scarf added extra oomph to my otherwise dull outfit, and as an added bonus, I got to bust out my snazzy, never before worn rainboots... The takeaway? If you take a few minutes to inject a little colour and pizazz to an everyday outfit, you might just be pleased with the results... Take that, rain!
