Believe it or not this is the dress that first sparked my interest in blogging. Club Monaco did a ‘Style Muse’ lookbook in August of 2012 that featured four bloggers and how they would style their favourite piece from the collection. Krystal of the blog This Time Tomorrow styled this very same dress so well that I just had to try it for myself (original post here). The other three, with equally tantalizing style were Sam of Could I Have That?, Olivia of Lust For Life and Kate of Wit + Delight, all bloggers I still follow and admire today. I was so intrigued by these super chic women and their power of persuasion that I began looking into each of them and what they were up to. This led me onto other blogs and after about six months of being completely entranced I decided to take a stab at it myself.

This just goes to show that you never know where your next passion will present itself. It could be hiding in a mass email from a giant brand like mine was or somewhere much more discrete and unique. Regardless though, you’ve got to follow your nose, or in my case, your mouse.

During our trip to San Francisco last weekend, Dave and I took to the street to explore the beautiful city. The weather was an absolute dream and this outfit saw me through the day with ease. It seemed a perfect way to welcome fall and embrace a little tourism.
