I’ve always been a bit of a scarf fanatic, so the plaid blanket scarf trend is one I can definitely get on board with. My reasoning behind buying new scarves all the time is that it’s cheaper to buy a new scarf than a new outfit. A scarf can be worn so many different ways, and if it’s elaborate enough, it actually IS your outfit. Hence the dozens and dozens of scarves I have in my closet! I still haven’t found a great way to organize them, so if anyone has any tips please let me know!

When I went looking for a new fall plaid blanket scarf, the most popular one online was one that Zara carried. It had a red tartan plaid on one side, and the other side had a different black and white pattern. It has sold out over and over, so I had to go looking for alternatives.

The best part about these scarves being so large is you can wear them as a shawl as well to not only keep warm, but to look chic as well. I think a scarf makes an outfit look so much more polished, so wearing the scarf AS your outfit seems pretty genius to me!

The first scarf I picked up was actually from Garage Clothing. It’s cozy, huge, and I love the colours in the pattern!

Garage actually carried three versions of this scarf, so since I loved this one so much I went back to buy another one in a different pattern. It’s sold out online, and I have visited three different stores only to find out it’s sold out there too. So if you are shopping around and see this scarf, please buy it for me and I will pay you back!

These blanket scarves are not easy to find, so I have added the ones that I have found online that I like the best, along with a few cute regular sized plaid scarves to tide you over as well.

Tulle skirts have been taking over my Instagram and Pinterest feeds, and I’ve been dying to get my hands on one.

With a little research I found out that the most fabulous ones come from Space 46 Boutique!

They are designed and handcrafted in the home of sun and surf in Orange County, California. Space 46 tulle skirts are sold at select boutiques worldwide and online, which was great news for me since I’m based all the way in Canada (probably the opposite of Orange County!).

What did I need a tulle skirt for? Well I really wanted just to have one to play dress up, but my actual reason to make the purchase was that we had family photos scheduled this fall and I needed something fun to wear.

The boutique’s website features a Real Style Gallery, where customers who have purchased a skirt have allowed their photos to be posted so you can get a better idea of how they look for fit and style.

Not only are there lots of options for the colour, length, and style of their tulle skirts, there are also dresses and garters as well.

Skirts can even be ordered in a custom fit, and there are skirts for young girls starting at size 5-6, running up to size 12-13.

I decided to purchase the tulle skirt called The Wendy in Soft Pink.

It arrived wrapped with care, and a very polite thank you!

The skirt was everything I hoped it would be – pink, pretty, and fabulous. I immediately started playing dress up. There are so many ways to wear this skirt!

I was so impressed with the quality, and the fit was exactly as described on the site.
