Cashmere Weather

Today's outfit is courtesy of Carriage Trade - my favourite boutique in the Kingsway. I love cashmere, it's soft and warm. Not all cashmere is created equal, and just because it's expensive (Velvet) doesn't make it better then affordable cashmere (Costco). Now that being said Magaschoni cashmere is soft, a quality weight and an investment. I am wearing a cashmere Magaschoni cardigan and it is divine. The colours are vibrant and will carry through the years. If you have budgeted for a luxury cashmere sweater I would recommend this brand.

Carriage Trade carries quality cashmere brands (another example is Autumn Cashmere), Nori (the owner) is diligent about bringing quality cashmere pieces to her customers. She and her staff really taught me the difference in cashmere's and I have a much better appreciation because of them.

Silk Blouse + Python = Date Night Or Girls Night Out

Carriage Trade is helping me get my pretty on. Blouses are everywhere and so are the price points and fabrications. To be quite honest, nothing says "woman" like a beautiful blouse, Joie did an amazing job of showcasing well cut and versatile blouses for women. Whether you are looking for brights or neutrals Joie did it - and in silk! Now silk is not for the kids nor is it a good idea to apply body lotion then touch a silk blouse (learned two hard lessons - both pieces ended in the garbage) but it is for grown ups and grown up things like work, date night or dinner with friends. So I had to pick this blouse and then I saw these jeans in dark PYTHON!

I have to be honest the light python pants scare me, too many possibilities of dimpling showing. I hate dimpling, now this python is dark and hides everything. Moreover, these pants have a higher rise. You all know why I love a higher rise (for those who don't four kids equals skin stretching) and these pants hit the sweet spot and make me look good. Carriage Trade is one of the few boutiques I know that is carrying this brand - CJ by Cookie Johnson. I love them.



Love the studding on this purse, plus it has lots of slots inside for all your cards. No need for your wallet. The purse also has enough room for a cell phone and a lipstick. Once my son is out of diapers I may need to downsize my over sized purses for something smaller.

Vince Vest - Official Canadian Women's Fall Outfit

The title is what would happen in my fantasy world, if we could all wear what I said. Come on admit it, most of you agree with me. I just think this screams Canadian Fall Perfection and it looks amazing. Carriage Trade can do no wrong for me.



Can we all agree that the shoes add some fun to this outfit? I have leopard print flats that would be just as great. Black flats or boots would be a great basic look as well.
