Falling For You

It's official. Chilly mornings and nights are back in Toronto. And sweaters and boots are back on me. Fall is around the corner and I'm torn. I'm going to miss finding an excuse for a pedicure and the sun beating down on me(I wasn't saying that 2 weeks ago) yet I can't wait to throw on the layers, wear socks and boots and not worry about perfect pedis. What's Fall got you falling for?

Aug 31 2

Sweater - Kersh, Skinnies - Just Cavalli, Boots - Seychelles

While we're on the topic of falling for things, I love when S reminds me why I fell for him...

Recently he's told me that my skin is "losing it's elasticity", "getting more wrinkles" and "looks a little dry" and that my mom "possibly has better skin". Since he's put on a *little* weight since our nuptials, I lovingly respond by now referring to his belly button as a "blowhole".

Yup, we fall for each other, just a little bit more each day.

Seriously though, I love him more each day. Bonehead comments and all.

Ending on a different note...

A little while ago, the fabulous Clare gave me this award. She's got an eye for fashion and pairs it with witty commentary...just don't let her catch you pulling a fashion faux pas - she might just call you on it ;) Now passing, in alphabetical order (that's how I roll), onto some fabulous blogs, belonging to funny, witty, [insert all things fabulous here] amazing girls, that I love:

Also, the sweetie and I mean sweetie Kristen Sara passed this duo of awards onto me. She's one bloggie friend I truly hope to meet one day. Now passing onto the some of my favourite ladies who really do *give good blog* and are sweet and fabulous to boot:

Adored Austin, ButterSunshine, Fashion + Geometry,and My Teacups in Peony and Nubia's Nonesense

Hope you're all having a lovely week!

    i always say to my husband, "am getting fat and fat." but he'll reply with NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


    - i know he's lying. And i like it. hihii.

    i love your outfit. I don't have any idea on how cold is cold there.

    Hello it's always hot here. It's frustrating sometimes.

  7. I am sad that summer ended but at least I look forward for layering and wool pashminas:)

  8. You are just too adorable! Can I put you in my back pocket to keep me company all day? Congrats on your awards sista! You deserve it.

  9. Hey, sometimes I feel like you are talking about my husband. :))) So funny...
    Don't give up your pedis, girl! They always make you feel so beautiful and you know, we still take shoes off, sooner or later, so got to have your toes painted and prettified (is there such a word?) As much as I love spring I always find myself looking forward to autumn. I guess, I need a change now and then or I'd get bored. I've already got my warm things out, can't wait to wear my coats because they make me feel beautiful and I still need to buy some cashmere basics and a few candles, just to make evenings even more cozy.
    And of course, autumn desserts!!! Warm tarts, baked apples with spicy stuffing, chocolate souffle (still need to learn to make this one...)

    Got to love autumn, really. :)

  11. I have never been to Canada, but when I get there, I sure do hope it's to meet you ;)
    And your rebuttal to S's skin comments made me laugh... a blowhole?! You are too much! I love it!! It's so much fun to read about two people who are so in love that they can actually poke fun at each other and come out the other side MORE in love. So amazing!!

  12. I love your outfit!! It makes me so excited for fall. That sweater is so casual and gorgoeus. And those boots are so fab. :)

  15. Woah - it's already cold?? I can't imagine that. It's got to be infinity degrees here in Hong Kong.

    And that's hilarious about your man. Sounds like something my boyfriend would say to me! Then I just threaten to get botox.

  16. Love the outfit.

    You and S sound like such a cute couple. Kristian has put on about 10 pounds since we started dating. He blames me b/c now he's not allowed to just have beer for dinner and I make him eat an actual meal. haha.

  17. Lovely outfit- that sweater is cute. I know, the past few days have been cool in Boston too.. I mean, it's just Sept 2! I'm over the 85+ humid weather, but upper 70s and sunny is nice. I hope it sticks around :)

    ReplyDelete
  18. I love what you're wearing. I can tell that it is a little cooler here, but it's still hot down here in North Carolina. One thing I love about the upcoming season is the leaves changing colors. It's so beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Fall could not come soon enough for me! Can't wait to sport the boots and sweaters :) It's still a little too hot here in Utah though.

    ReplyDelete
  20. It's amazing how quickly the weather nose-dived here in Canada (BC anyway) - on Sunday I was sweating it out in a tank and jeans on top of Whistler mountain, today I am in boots and a leather jacket and a bit chilly!

    Love YOUR boots btw! What a gorgeous colour!

    ReplyDelete
  21. i'm workin on it!!! hold your little horsies. haha!

    i'm actually done with my post just gotta come up with a post title. that's where i get slowed down.

  22. the grass is always greener, right? As soon as it starts turning a little but chilly I am excited for a beautiful fall and crisp cool air but I miss the warmth of the sunshine too. I love your boots!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Love the see-trough sweater, great purchase for the fall!
    X, fashion-nerdic.

  24. Ela...I'm drooling over those gorgeous boots and your cool weather. I haven't pulled the trigger yet. I can't decide what size to get. I always do this. I spend too much time debating and then it sells out. I have issues.

  25. Congrats on your awards, darling Ela!

    Loooooove your outfit ~ especially those fab boots!

  26. ya i can't believe the cold nights are back already! last night I actually woke up because I was cold... Sigh there goes summer... hahaha I told my bf to tell me as soon as I gain weight or change so I won't just wake up one day being 300 pounds and it'd be too late! LOL

    Yeah the earrings were called lil plump stars? They were $12 for 2 pairs I think... I remember them being fairly decent in terms of the price. You'd have to ask Steph for the exact price I ordered it a while ago ~_-

  27. Love your outfit. Yep, weather has changed here too in London. Wearing my red nail varnish as my entry into Autumn (fall) :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Totally love this outfit. I am so smitten by the Fall. Crisp cool breezes get me every time. I am also in love with your amazing commentaries about you and the hubs. You are just so funny & I do not think for a second that you are loosing elasticity. If you are, then I am too!!

    ReplyDelete
  29. You are wearing boots...with the furrrr...jk no fur, but I'm so jealous!!!!

    You and S are sooo cute! I want love like that one day! :)

  33. I have to admit... I"m not ready for Fall. I was window-shopping (of course) again today and I really didn't feel like trying on boots, knits or any other FW stuff. Ugh... not quite ready to retire my sandals and floaty dresses. Unfortunately it has gotten slightly colder here, but thankfullly not cold enough to justify wearing a real jacket ;-) Congrats on the awards by the way! Oh, and how sweet that you and S. have such loving compliments for each other ;-)

  39. Boo on S! Give him a timeout! And by timeout I mean force him to cook you a fancy dinner and tell you how beautiful you are!

    Super cute post. I can't wait for fall layering! :)

    ReplyDelete
  40. I'm SO ready for fall! It's still high 80s, low 90s here in Utah. My summer style creativity is waning. I need fall to come around....hahaha. Love your boots!! Seriously, you and S sound like so much fun!!! ;)

  41. You look tres chic and tres classic as always! My favorite part about fall is wearing my boots again (I would wear them year-round if I could!)- and I love, love, love your Seychelles!

    You and your hubby are too funny! You had me and my bf in a fit of giggles!

    ps- I completed the tag! Thanks again for tagging me ;)

  42. MrB wouldn't survive saying such things about my skin. I don't have such a good sense of humor!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Love your boots, love the outfit! =)

    Yeh, I agree. While summer is my fave season, I don't like the need for pedi that goes with it. I'm one of those girls (or probably the only one) who does not enjoy trips to the salon!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Hello there! Found your blog via Asian Cajuns and am greatly enjoying my visit here:)

  50. Lovely look! I'm glad that you're DAD is okay now. Mine passed more than 3 yrs. ago and so I feel what you've just felt when it happened.

    I tease hubby on his growing patch at the back of his head while he teases me with my super-sized legs.haha!

  51. Lovely sweater! That neckline is sumptious. I love the change in seasons. Right now it is full spring for me and the smell of jasmine in the air is enough for you to leap with joy!!! I was actually just laughing today coz I have been with my man for the last 5 years and sometimes we sound like an old married couple...but you know what I love it coz as fast as we pick at eachother...we turn around and laugh too...you can't beat that...and when you are with someone for any length of time that is what you will get! It really is fun...as long as you see it that way....love is something else isn't it!

  52. ahh so cute! and im sooo going to miss wearing my collection of boots this fall, since im heading to the hothothot LA and all. but ill be coming back to a winter full of peacoats and boot wearing (albeit slushy and often gross) weather, yay!

  59. My husband told me I'm "just going through the natural process of aging" the other day. Men are ridiculous. Sometimes I can't even fully comprehend it. You look lovely though!

    ReplyDelete
  60. That sweater is fresh! Kansas is strangely chilly this week as well. I keep thinking the summer will come back kicking soon, but... it's been a bit of a wait.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Thank you for the award! I just got back from vacation and saw it. You are too, too sweet.

    And I have some way serious boot envy.
