There is something so magical about the fall. The wispy leaves, golden colours and gentle breeze gives me a feeling warmth and comfort. It also gives me a reason to experiment with layering, which I couldn't be bothered with before. Since purchasing this wool camel coat, I've been living in it morning and night either over my turtlenecks or thrown over my shoulders. It's such a classic autumn staple.

Another staple that I've been on the hunt for and been successful in finding is the perfect white shirt. It has the relaxed, crisped, borrowed-from-the-boys fit that I have been searching for. The most unique and my favourite part about this shirt are the elastic mid-length sleeves. I'm not sure if you understand or can relate to my struggle, but most of my button-up shirts also have button sleeves which I've never understood how to roll so that it would sit right. The elasticated cuffs are simply genius.

Before I go, I want to share that I recently registered Allure of Simplicity for the 2014 Made in Blog Awards. The Made in Blog Awards was established to showcase Canadian bloggers across an array of categories and provide a unique opportunity to gain additional exposure in this space. If you have a moment, please vote for me to become the Blogger of the Year in the Fashion category. It would mean a great deal to have your support, even if I walk away empty-handed. You can vote for me here.

Thanks so much xx
