Friday Finds are Sunny and Cozy
Since the late fall weather has started to turn up in the prairies, I’ve been on a mission to find and make warm accessories that have lots of personality before it gets too cold. If I’m going to be bundled up, I at least want to have fun doing it. Around the house that means leg warmers, leggings and perfectly over sized vintage sweaters, and around the city I want anything that pops against all the black jackets I seem to own!
My favourite fall outfit is definitely my vintage leather jacket paired with a giant scarf. It’s warm and a little over the top- just the way I like it.

Do you have a favourite fall accessory?
Mine would be a pair of black flat boots but my absolute favourite pair died last year and I haven’t replaced them yet. I’m not ready to move on quite yet, grief is a process. ;)
thanks so much for featuring my beanie! i just adore all your picks :)
Lovely! I especially like the mug cozy.
I ordered myself a pair of boots the other day. I saw them at Target, and they were only $30 (which is MUCH cheaper than most nice boots), so I ordered them as soon as I got home. :D
how adorable is that mug cozy!
I think yellow is such a great color for fall. It brings out the colors of the leaves and is still bright and happy even if the days are getting shorter.
I’ve been loving everything in that mustard/saffron/golden colour lately and can’t get enough. I just ordered this bag: http://www.etsy.com/listing/60952322/new-kinies-classic-in-golden-rod and can’t wait!
Hm, I can’t say I have a favorite fall accessory since we don’t usually get fall-like weather around here! Lately, we’ve had a few cool days (today it’s in the 50s!) a month, but mainly 80-degree weather. I am on a cardigan kick, though. They’re just so cozy! Oh, and scarves. I need more scarves in my life.
i totally love my cognac colored steve madden boots, i wear them with tights and a sweater dress and my outfit is set!! oh and a cute scarf too!!! these yellow founds are sooooo pretty, wish i could have them all!!!!!
anything in a mustardy yellow colour is awesome. it’s one of my favourite colours. :)
I have a mustard scarf, but oh how i’d love a knitted warmer for a cup! <3
Zappos can help the grieving process……
The gloves are awesome… exactly what I would need in my office in the winter. My hands are always cold. :)
I love the yellow.
I love anything yellow that’s made of yarn. Glorious.
My fall/winter staples are scarves and boots. Simple scarves in basic colors—black, white, grey—and flat boots with buckles. :)
Those boots are beauts.
Ah, that little mug cozy is so stinkin’ adorable! Annnd it’s yellow! <3
My favourite fall accessories are warm and cozy boots. And mittens. My hands are always cold!
I love that mustard yellow color! I have been drawn to it for a solid month now….maybe I should purchase one of these items to satisfy my obsession ;)
Cute finds! I’m totally loving mustard yellow right now.
I know what you mean about the dead shoe grieving process. Last night I finally threw out my beloved pair of cognac-hue boots because I bought new ones. Shiny, new things often times soften the blow of having to throw out the old loved ones :)
What a great post! I love the collection of images. I live in San Francisco, which is one of the foggiest, greyest cities in the US. I think the citizens of SF try to counteract this by painting their houses ridiculous colors… or dressing in bright colors.
My favorite fall accessory is jeggings. Jean leggings. Especially the ones made by Hue, a great tights and leggings company. I know, I know… but they look JUST like jeans and they fit so well in boots!
i really really want that mug cozy. so cute <3
I love the yellow! And the mug cozy is so cute and cheap, I didn’t even know those existed! Adorable.
I adore this cozy Fall weather. Scarves are my favourite!!
That toque is adorable :-)
HOLY CRAPOLI! Those mukluks are WONDERFUL!
My two favorite things are my wool tweed blazer, that works at work, with jeans, over a dress, ANYTHING. AND my new teal slouchy knit hat. I’m obsessed with knit hats.
I love love love mustard yellow accessories. I have a hat I have been wearing for years, and it makes my heart joyess when the first cold spell comes to Vegas and I can wear my yellow hat!
I HAD a favourite pair of black boots but my dog ate them last year. I need to get new ones …
So cozy! I covet those mukluks.
Scarves! I love them and wear them nearly every day. I need to invest in a pair of fingerless gloves/arm warmers for the office though. Its always freezing in there.
My favorite accessories are definitely scarves! I love them! :)
I love that cup cozy! I was hoping to make some for my sisters, mom, and sisters-in-law, but I don’t think I will have time since I still am not done w/ that baby blanket and I still have baby hats to make! :P
That saffron color is lovely…
I love all of them!!!
I have a bright purple coat that I love to wear! It makes me happy when everything is so cold and gray.
I love these mustard colors so much I actually gasped when I saw them! Visiting those Etsy shops right now!
