Weekly Gems #17: What I Wore, Fall Goals, Cozy Finds
+ chocolate brown, fall shoes, & life updates
Good morning, happy Sunday!
Lately, the weather has been crisp in the mornings with warmer afternoons/ early evenings so I’ve been shedding layers all week. This is absolutely my favorite time of the year— I start my mornings by sitting on my porch with a coffee in hand, listening to the birds, breathing in the fresh air, and enjoying my alone time before the day starts and everyone else wakes up. It’s quickly become my favorite part of the day. The world is still quiet and I feel so at peace.
Them: How do you like your coffee in the morning?
Me: Alone
Monday
Started off the week with an Oribe event first thing in the AM. We got to try out their new Mirror Rinse glass hair treatment so I wore a hat since it was *hair wash day*. If you’ve followed me for a while, you know my love for Oribe (I use their Gold Lust line for my shampoo & conditioner). On another note, wearing these loafers non-stop this season and went for navy monochrome attire.
Tuesday
Definitely a best seller this week: this quilted jacket. It’s very lightweight so perfect for those in between (weather-wise) days.
Wednesday
Definitely my favorite look of the week— the quintessential fall boots (I also linked a similar pair here to save $) paired with this cozy turtleneck knit (code: AMBERS15 for 15% off) gives me all the dopamine dressing feels!
Thursday
It was quite warm this day so I kept it simple with a tee and these curve jeans from Agolde launching this Tuesday! They’re the perfect mid-waist fit with a 31” inseam. (High-rise version linked here). I absolutely adore the overall fit and feel! Kept it tonal with brown and black Chanel flats I scored off of Vestiaire Collective a couple years back.
Friday
I mentioned how much I love this cozy, timeless black sweater and even though it’s a wool/cashmere blend (I’m sensitive to wool) I have zero sensitivity to this one. [My code for the sweater is AC-AMBER15 for 15% off btw]. However, it seems you guys were more interested in these pants and flats (that are giving The Row) instead. I bought these pants at the start of the season and just *knew* they were going to be a closet staple from hence forth. I wear them constantly. My wardrobe is now basically a shrine to curve denim. (They are TTS btw).
Extras:
Cold weather, chilly mornings, hot coffee, rainy nights, colourful leaves, sweater weather.
I love fall.
Tis the season of candles. I mean, I light candles year round but there’s something so special about lighting a candle on a cozy fall morning or evening. I’ve been using Soja&Co products for years now (their home cleaning products and candles specifically). This candle is the epitome of fall scents.
There are two primary colours I am utterly obsessed with for fall: burgundy and chocolate brown. This chocolate brown sweater (code: AMBERS15 for 15% off) is so soft and rich in colour, and gives me all the fall feels. Tip: JK often has sales, if you’re turned off by the price, wait until another sale pops up!
Loafers, loafers, loafers. The perfect blend of style and practicality for fall— easy to slip on, effortlessly polished, and versatile enough to go from day to night. Currently wearing these black leather ones, and these beautiful (albeit impractical) brown suede ones on repeat this month.
Never underestimate the power of a cozy robe. I wear mine every. single. day.
