Fall is here! I hate giving up my favourite summer pieces, but by layering maybe we don’t have to? I’m wearing one of my favourite summer dresses with lace detailing, combined with a sleek leather jacket and a poncho.

There is actually no double-meaning behind this article title – we really just bought these glasses from a little boutique in Brooklyn last week, and they are an instant favourite. Paired here with this nautical-inspired look, they were very necessary in the sunny but cold midtown New York City.

We landed in Toronto at 6:45 am via the red-eye from Calgary, and although the flight was bumpy and sleep was hard to come by, being in this vibrant city has suddenly energized us both and we are ready for a day of exploring!
