I'll admit it: I've never been a huge fan of houndstooth.

While I find the print interesting to look at, I find it equally distracting to wear, and therefore tend to leave it—in most of its iterations— at the store.

Until I spotted this slick, silver-accented sweater from 424 Fifth.

I was instantly attracted to the absence of an all-over print. Plus, the metallic touch is pretty irresistible. Paired with relaxed white jeans, the look feels—fresh.

It's a classic case of never say never.

Happy Monday (is that even possible!?) and thanks for stopping by!

Here it is — my annual tulle skirt holiday post.

Though I didn't originally set out to make tulle skirts my holiday "thing", the response to my first DIY tulle skirt was so positive that I thought I would give it another go.

I put together this no-sew, DIY tulle skirt during a day off a week or so ago. While it didn't take very long to assemble, I grossly underestimated the amount of tulle fabric I was going to need (it took about 8 metres!), so I had to run back to the fabric store to buy more.

Despite the delay, I'm pretty pleased with this skirt. It's fun, funky and absolutely massive in real life.

Although, truth be told, I probably wouldn't make one like this again. But, oh well. Live and learn.

I hope you like my festive, all-red outfit, though — because I felt like a fiery Christmas elf in it. :)

Happy holidays and thank you for reading!

Here's another outfit post that I've been hanging on to — notice the leaves on the trees? Ya, those are long gone now. :P

But this outfit is still so right now.

I've been living in cozy turtleneck sweaters and remixed trousers — cropped lengths, jogger hems ... you get the picture.

Add in the leopard loafers and this is pretty much my go-to look.

Happy Friday and thank you for stopping by!

Leopard print has increasingly been finding its way into my wardrobe. First it was a handbag, then loafers, then boots — and now, this amazing coat.

I've heard it tossed around that leopard is the new black —and I believe it — because despite its busy pattern, I find this print to be incredibly versatile. And cool.

Hence the whole chainlink-fence-trying-to-be-a-badass thing.

Happy Monday and thanks for stopping by!
