Amazon Fashion Rainbery Earrings

I have been wearing these faux leather earrings from Amazon for a few weeks now and am loving how they compliment so many of my outfits. I have been getting lots of lovely compliments on them while out and about so I have actually given a few pairs away to my family members who loved them. They were very affordable so I can order more. They come in packs of two and I really wanted the black and white pairs so that is what I ended up keeping for myself. What makes these earrings so perfect for me is how lightweight they are. My pierced holes are starting to stretch so if I wear something too heavy that becomes very noticeable. With leather and faux leather earrings, I can get the drama of size and also feel very comfortable wearing them all day. I have linked both packages I purchased if you would like to order them for yourself. They arrived at my home within a few days of placing my order. When you shop from the links on my website you are supporting my work so thank you so much if you choose to do so.

Happy weekend styling friends!

September Fashion Round Up

Here are my favourite looks from September. It was a month that slowly transitioned us into the cooler temperatures. It was a month of big transitions for our family as we all adjusted to Luke starting school. It was a month of change and growth for all of us. I am thankful for what we got from this past September but I am feeling so relieved to jump into October. I love Thanksgiving, the weather has everything feeling cozy and I feel like I have found my footing in our current season. What I am really trying to work on is bringing a little weekend vibe into every single day and not worrying about stuff so much. I am chilling out with the cooler temps. I have linked some of the key fashion items I am wearing in these pictures if your interested in shopping any of them for yourself.

I love you guys and I love chatting with you on Instagram. How are you feeling about October, what are you looking forward to this month, whats on your mind when it comes to fashion, just let me know whats up.

The Plaid Shirt | Classic Style | American Eagle

The plaid shirt has a vast history, especially a plaid flannel shirt which was first manufactured in the 1850's. It was not until the 1940's when women adopted the style for themselves by actually first borrowing them from men. Depending on your age and who you have seen wearing plaid shirts as you grew up, this style may bring back memories of specific phases in your life.

Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" music video made grunge the next big style in the early 1990's. I remember back to school shopping when I was around 10, buying boys wide leg jeans because the girls section did not have the exact style I was going for and pairing it with a t-shirt and plaid shirt tied around my waist.

Now plaid shirts are a wardrobe stable and we ladies don't have to borrow the styles from the men, we can find them tailored to our shape and in a variety of colours. I have gone through a few plaid shirts over the last 10 years but I am always drawn to a pattern that has a significant amount of red in it. I love the classic look of the red plaid shirt. I love that I can dress it up and create a nostalgic holiday vibe or pair it with jeans and a t-shirt for an all Canadian everyday look.

When did you first wear a plaid shirt? What memories does this style bring back for you? How do you wear your plaid shirt today?

My entire outfit was shopped at American Eagle in the Lambton Mall. This store has an amazingly helpful and educated staff that is passionate about helping you find fashion that makes you feel great!

Thanks for reading!

Amazon Fashion / Fuzzy Sweater

I ordered this sweater off Amazon three weeks ago. This is the first fashion item I have ordered from Amazon and I was a little skeptical about my purchase because the price was so great ($20) and my order stated I would receive my package Oct 15 - Nov 15. I was pleasantly surprised to get the shipping notification last Friday and receive my sweater yesterday. Today was the perfect cool morning for this fuzzy sweater. Its super cozy, the pockets keep your hands warm and I love its laid back vibe. It is a warm sweater but I would not say the quality of the fabric is the best. The sweaters that are similar that I was looking at around the $75 mark definitely have a more sturdy make to them but I am happy with this inexpensive dupe. This Amazon fashion purchase is a win for me, so much so I am considering getting the cream one too. 

Shop this $20 fuzzy sweater here.

The First Day Of Fall

Thank you so much to Loulou & Bee for partnering with me on this adventure post and providing me and my littles with the coziest, cutest tops! Loulou & Bee offers trendy and practical essentials for babies, toddlers and moms. Shop this locally owned boutique online here.

We celebrated the first day of fall with an apple picking adventure at Zekvelds. The orchard/farm was buzzing like a bee hive. The crisp weather had everyone in the autumn spirit, ready to enjoy all the new season has to offer.

I am so glad I get to experience all four seasons! The change of each season is so energizing as we get to enjoy the food, activities and fashion that the new temperatures bring.

I know I have been apple picking before but I don't really remember it so we are going to call today a first for all of us. The orchard was so beautiful! Looking at a branch heavy with ripe apples literally made my mouth water and made me think, "wow I am so glad to call this little corner of the world my home". We have so much to explore in our backyard and seeing it through the eyes of my children is a huge gift, this is how the world is meant to be seen.

Luke raced from tree to tree "mom help me find some low ones", "mom lift me up". Lizzy helped pick a few and then she just started to eat an apple, stopping periodically to ask me to help her remove some of the skin. The rows of fruit trees were inviting and I kinda just wanted to set up camp there for the day but Elizabeth was not going to let us forget the horse we saw on the way out to the apples. Once our bags were full, we headed back towards the store and spent time walking around the rest of the grounds checking out the chickens, pigs and horse. They had a little barn shed set up pretty with autumn decorations and Luke loved leaping across the hay. My heart is exploding with love and gratitude after today, it was the perfect way to kick off the fall season!

I  have the great pleasure of mommin all day every day. Some days like today are adventure days and some days are hang around the house laundry days. No matter the day, I am so grateful to God to be mommin. I can only mom the way I do because of my husband though, so while he worked hard today we got to play. My mommin skills are only what they are because of who he is. As Tyler always says "teamwork makes dream work" and man, this mommin work is a dream!

Happy Autumn!

Mix It Up | Style By HAL

I love pairing soft pretty fashion pieces with items that are more tough. I have had a vision of creating this kind of look with this tutu from Lace & Charm  since I got it last winter. I am having a lot of fun these days mixing it up, fashion is supposed to be fun right! I take myself too seriously sometimes, getting creative with my outfits helps me to loosen up and laugh at myself. Dressing is truly a passion for me and when a vision comes together like it did for this outfit, it makes me excited.

I put this outfit together specifically for these pictures but I would wear this if I was going to a concert or birthday party depending on the location, it would be for a special event that was not too formal. Fashion and photos are kind of becoming an art for me too, all of my socials are a creative outlet and I love how my blog can evolve with me as I grow and change.

With any outfit, I think there needs to be some sort of balance. I normally think of this in terms of weight. Like the skirt is lightweight and the boots and belt are heavy. The shirt is light but the graphics are heavy and grungy and the hat is heavy too. The scrunchy, thats just fun and practical.

I hope this post encourages you to play around with some items in your wardrobe!

Love You!
Audrey

Petrolia Fall Fair 2018

It is fair season! One of the simple pleasures I look forward to enjoying with my family during the fall. We love the fair for the food. As soon as we walked into the fair on Sunday, we all started reading the menu signs at the various food trucks. All of the delicious smells make it easy to get hungry the minute you walk through the gate.

We watched some of the demolition derby first. It was my first time seeing this event live. It was loud, a little smokey and entertaining, even the kids were amused by the smashing cars (I wasn't sure if Lizzy would be a little scared). Watching the derby got our adrenaline pumping and our appetite going so we headed to a truck for lunch. The kids shared a hot dog and fries, I had a jumbo cheese dog, Tyler had chilli cheese fries and my mom had a chicken burger. We all shared bites of our food and everything was delicious.

Next we went on some rides. Next time I think we will do rides first and then eat lunch, our stomaches were feeling a little crazy on the spinning tea cups. Elizabeth really surprises me lately with her bravery, she enjoyed all of the rides she went on and would have gone on some bigger ones like brother, if she was tall enough.

We finished the afternoon with chocolate chip cookies and the tractor pull. We had to head home because Elizabeth was tired but I am sure Luke could have stayed until the end to watch every single tractor. Next weekend is the Wyoming fair, I am not sure if we will make it to that one but we are planning on the Brigden fair for sure. Which fall fairs are your favourite and what is your favourite part of the fair? Take part in the conversation on social media, I love hearing from you guys.
