Its Not Home Till You Make Dinner......

So its official, I have a new home...Yayyyy!!!  I am just itching at the seams to make it perfect.  But until then I'll start with a home sweet home dinner for me and my hubby.  Nothing like breaking in the new appliances and bringing out our best dishware....sigh...its the small things that make it feel like a cozy home. 

My Fav Fall Salad!!!

With a Delicious BBQ'd Steak (Hubby's Fav!) 

Stay tuned for the adventures of making our condo a home!!!

Men's Fall Fashion 2012

Earlier in the year I posted on summer men's wear. With  fall just around the corner, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to share some autumn flavoured thoughts.

It was hard to think about some new, cooler additions to my wardrobe with this summer seemingly going on forever,  but the weather turned this week (at least here in Toronto) and now I'm in the mood.  

This is the best time of year to dress after all! Not to hot, not to cold. Dress comfortably.

The most versatile piece of men's fall clothing (and you've already got a few) is the cardigan. Two great examples here, dressed up and dressed down.  The cardigan is your chameleon.  Rock it over a t-shirt with old jeans, or under a summer suit jacket to keep you warm in the cool fall air.

This is oozing style. I love the heavy sweater over the shirt and tie.  Very neat, very tidy but very fun and on trend.  Once in a while, put the jacket away, grab something chunky with personality.

These two fun looks are brilliant,  though very different from each other.  I love the oversized bow tie and splash of colour in the trouser (though all a muted palette).  The image on the right is one of my favs that I've stumbled upon in a while.  The formality of the fresh white button up with no tie contrasts nicely with the warm leather belt and navy pants.

With crisp fall winds come cold necks, and an interesting scarf is the way to keep warm.  This isn't a heavy piece.  It should be light, it should be long, and it should add some flair without looking too contrived. 

A peacoat three ways?  Absolutely!  Super cool and casual (seriously, look at that image, it bleeds cool).

And the new staple, something neon.  We saw it at the Joe Fresh show in the spring, be prepared for it to be everywhere this fall going into winter.

 Maybe this is one is straddling fall and winter a little, but how do you not want to have style like this?  

Whatever your personal style, stick with classic basics paired with trendy punches.  This post feels like a part one to me, so much more to show you from shoes to boots and ties to v-necks. Till next time!

Bradley Agather is the creative mind behind luella & june and she does not disappoint.

It was her home office that I was immediately drawn to when coming across her blog.

Crisp white walls and a white desk, it's just my style.  She has inspired me to change up my own home office!

Everyone needs a gold piggy bank some where in their home!

Be sure to check out the rest of her blog, it's packed full of fashion, interiors and one of the best parts of her blog; "What I love right now"

Bradley's Pinterest boards are pretty amazing too!  

Thanks for the inspiration Bradley!

Monday Morning - A different kind of Markt

Monday Morning is back and upon us, and I'm hoping this is nice easy week.  I've got some design meetings lined up, some drawing and planning to do and one install. Now that I think about it, maybe this won't be such and easy week.  At least the weekend was enjoyable.

As you can see above , we ran out to the market.  I guess no one is surprised, we always run out to the market.  However, on Saturday night, I visited a different market. The Bier Markt at the shops at Don Mills.

I didn't take any shots of the food, though I should have. It was a great spread. Mussels and Belgian Flatbread,  Delicious.  The decor was a feast for the eyes though.  Faux (I think?!) tin ceilings, rich stains.  Call it sophisticated bar decor?

And finally a stop off at Indigo/Chapters to browse for some new reads. Found these two, partly for reading, partly for looking at!

The Paris book. This picture is really for Keri and her obsession with Paris.

This one is for me!

Have a good week everyone!

Insta-weekend

I wish I could say I went out and about this past weekend, however I spent most of it right there.  Hopefully this is the one and only cold I have this year!

Have a great Monday!
