On my radar

I have been MIA here lately. I had a birthday, a cold followed finally by a few days of training for my day job. I also seem to be returning most of what I have ordered lately. Still there have been quite a few things come out in the last week or so that popped up on my radar. Halloween is in 10 days away still but it seems like retailers have moved onto Christmas.

october outfits

Red sweater – I have been watching this sweater for a while. I should just pull the trigger because it is a gorgeous shade of red and I like the funnel neck.

Wide leg Jeans – These seem like a great trouser jean with a bit of a nautical vibe via the gold buttons.

Beaded sweater – these are released every year leading up to the Christmas season. They are a great option if you want something embellished but still cozy.

Lace trousers – these are a gorgeous option for Holiday parties. They come in black and red. They would be a great way to dress up a tunic sweater.

Plaid blouse – Tis the season for plaid. This top would look great with the jeans or lace trousers from above but also with these green velvet pants. Tucked or untucked it is a great option.

Velveteen straight leg pants – I love a pair of velveteen pants for the winter months. They look more luxe than a regular pair of jeans. And they are very warm.

Diamond padded puffer – This coat just arrived and it is great! A bit oversized but that is a must for winter so that you can layer warm sweaters underneath. It is a bit long on me, more like mid calf versus the model where it looks closer to knee length.

Oversized puffer jacket – If you are looking for a shorter puffer with the same vibe as the longer one this is a good option.

Apres Ski Down jogger – I had a pair of something similar last year and they were a must for the school run walk during the winter. I am definitely going to upgrade mine to these. Not as bulky as wearing sweatpants but still nice and warm.

Stripe sweater – I have this sweater in black and I have basically been living in it since it arrived. It is more of a tunic style on me but it is perfect to wear with slim or skinny style jeans and pants.

Jeans – These jeans have also been on repeat since I got them earlier this fall.

Hello Jane, Great picks & Happy belated bday! Wondering if you order online from Talbots to Ontario..? Also do you usually get petite? Thank you 😊

I did order online to Ontario. The other option would be driving into Toronto which I don't do that often. I also risk driving to Toronto and what I want not being in store so I usually just order and have it shipped. The order took about 4 days before they shipped and then only a couple days to get here so about a week turn around time. I did have to pay HST but no duties. I did not order petite and the jeans are a good length with heels. If I wanted to wear with flats I would need the petite. My issue is that petite usually fits smaller all over and I need shorter length but not petite fit. Hope that helps!
