Autumn Stroll

Fall is just the best, although I’m sure it doesn’t need to be said with all the artistically filtered photographs of fall leaves, pumpkin spice lattes, and teenage girls in Uggs (#UggSeason <<3) floating around on instagram. So I shall keep this ode to autumn brief, as I’m sure you’d rather be outside enjoying the crunching of leaves underfoot of your new fall boots and throwing clumps of pretty leaves in the air as you twirl around like a make-believe Disney Princess. Or maybe that’s just me?

My friend Brianna and I took these yesterday morning when the weather was just absolutely gorgeous. With the sun filtering through the trees, everything was thrown into a golden orange light. It didn’t take us long to find a beautiful backdrop in a quiet part of the neighbourhood–this quaint brick townhouse with its cast iron fence was too charming to pass by without a few snaps. Fun fact: in the middle of our shoot, a passerby commented that Suits was actually filming at our exact location just a couple weeks prior!

I definitely had a laugh shooting my new favourite outfit (I am a guilty repeat-outfit offender), as the slit in this maxi dress, while beautiful in motion, was so tricky to photograph! I guess it’s just one of those garments that needs to be seen in action–gliding through leaves as the autumn breeze artfully makes the hemline dance in favour of showing off the perfect western-meets chealsea booties.
