Diamond Deco

[gifted] As the warmer fall days come to an end, I wanted to style one final look before we start the winter/holiday outfits. I needed to show you guys this incredible dress from The House Of Foxy, it's the Cora dress in Diamond Deco! I am obsessed!  Like you don't understand, I love this dress!!  Starting with the fact that its a warm/red-ish brown, which you guys know I prefer over black. It has a square/diamond pattern in a muted yellow. The dress has a modest deep V neckline with flounces that decorate along side it. And it all comes together with a little yellow string that can be tied into a bow. It has 3/4 sleeves which is perfect for a fall day !  However I think the best part is that its a bias cut dress meaning its super flattering because it drapes the body in all the right places. 

I paired the dress with a yellow 1930s hat that just happened to match the yellow on the dress perfectly. For shoes I kept it in that red-ish brown tone so I wore my Marjorie shoes from American Duchess. I grabbed a brown velvet clutch, for some reason I've been really into clutches this season I think they are so chic. And I topped it all off with some cream 1930s gloves. Let me know what you guys think about this look in the comments below! 

Lest We Forget - Day Trip To Fergus And Elora

I always take a day trip to Fergus and Elora on the days leading up to Remembrance Day. The Wellington County Museum and Archives always does the most thoughtful tribute on their front lawn. They put tons of white signs with names of soldiers from Wellington County who died in the First World War, World War Two, Korean and Afghanistan War. On the other side there is a poppy and it says we will remember then. walking through the signs and seeing how many there are its very overwhelming and it does make you stop and reflect on the sacrifices these men and women made so that we could live the life we do today. Then I took a walk through downtown Fergus, which a beautiful little strip of stores. They have window displays remembering family member who fought for your country. Since I was in the area I also walked through Downtown Elora and had lunch.  

As for my outfit I am wearing a grey1940s suit set with my crochet poppy. I also wore a 1940s blue hat, and a 1940s navy blue coat that I got from Vintage Soul Geek at the Toronto Vintage Clothing Show. 

Before Dinner

My favourite time to walk around the city is when the sun is coming down and the lights from the buildings shine. Its like stars scattered across the buildings. I wore this outfit to go to dinner with my friend Mikayla!  We went somewhere low key so I kept it pretty casual. I wore this black 1930s dress with small white polka dots. It's a bit hard to tell in the photos but the dress has slightly puffed sleeves with sheer lines. I added a 1930s ruffle collar to the dress to give it a more complete look.  For accessories I wore small white crochet gloves and a black velvet handbag. It was a fairly warm evening... which is crazy to say in October but alas ! Let me know what you guys think of this look ! 

Toronto Vintage Clothing Show - Fall 2024

I went to the Toronto Vintage Clothing show this weekend and had THE time of my life. You guys know the vintage show is my Christmas. It's where I buy the biggest bulk of my vintage pieces. And this year was no exception.... actually I lost control and had to force myself out of there LOL. I ended up finding SO many 1930s and 1940s pieces, it was incredible. It was a bit touch and go the past few seasons in regards to the amount of 1930s and 40s I was seeing. It was mostly 1970s+ with a big rise in early 2000s pieces (which I refuse ton accept as vintage... but thats a conversation for another day lol) And while those pieces were still present at this seasons show,  there was a wider range of decades. 
I went to the show both days, which I always recommend since vendors restock their booths. It's also a bit less crowded on Sundays so you can go through all of the booths in a calmer setting. 

I actually filmed a Vlog for my youtube channel along with a HUGE haul at the end. so if you haven't seen it yet I'll link it down below so you can check it out.
