Hello friend,

Sweaters and coats and boots, oh my! It’s Fall fashion season and if you’re anything like me, you live for the texture, warmth and hues of Fall. This week in the newsletter I’ve identified five trends I’m excited about and the Canadian woman-owned brands bringing them to life.

Sales of the Fall Discovery Box have now closed, which means I’m in the process of gathering all of the items to package up and send out. If you ordered one, I can’t wait for you to experience it! Boxes will ship later this month. Stay tuned for what’s inside.

Thank you to Hanso for sponsoring this week’s newsletter. I appreciate the support. Whether you are surveying your closet for trendworthy Fall items or looking to add new pieces, I just know these woman-owned brands will provide inspiration.

Enjoy!

 

A windbreaker and a lace skirt. At one time these two items would never see the light of day together. This Fall, The Untold Chapter brings you this perfect pairing for a transitional look that combines the masculine and feminine in equal measure.

In the ‘90s the preppy uniform was an argyle sweater with jeans and penny loafers. PAPER LABEL shows us how to wear today’s argyle in a sophisticated way. Pair it with trousers, a leather skirt or wear it layered with pattern on pattern.

 

A good leather jacket is a wardrobe staple that never goes out of style. Amanda Maria’s leather jacket in plum, one of this fall’s hot colours, is a fashion statement.

The beauty of statement outerwear is that you throw it over just about anything and look chic. LUXTON shows us the way with this plaid trench and clever “Yoki.”

This is your signal to go bold with your jewellery this Fall. Biko shows you how to make a big impact with fewer pieces and sculptural artistry.

If you didn’t have a chance to get away this summer, the fall can be a rewarding time to travel. Here are four destinations that make the most of the season.

Get ahead of cold and flu season with immune boosting habits that go beyond the vitamin bottle.

Your September calendar likely includes TIFF. Here are three Canadian women who will be in the spotlight this year at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Cozy season is coming, so in all likelihood you will spend some additional time on the couch. Here’s a great list of what to watch in September.

This Isn't Just Another Patio Cover

There's always one backyard on the street everyone talks about. This time, make it yours.

A Hansø pergola isn't the same patio cover everyone else has - engineered for up to 167 mph winds, 65 PSF snow load, and four-season durability, built from T6 aerospace-grade aluminum. More than decoration. A real structure, built to actually last.

This Labor Day, make a Hansø pergola yours for less: save 35% on Horizon Smart and Pro+ pergolas. Every Horizon and Pro+ purchase includes a FREE Hansø ProCheck Care™ 10-Year Plan — worth $950.

Everyone else settled for the same flimsy patio cover. This one is built to last.
