What a week. I had a 48 hour headache which hobbled a lot of things that I needed to do, and set the week on a bad trajectory. It’s gone now which I am grateful for because it can be quite debilitating.

I always like to share a good find when I come across one, so that chocolate brown cardigan that I included in the fall capsule wardrobe on a budget from yesterday arrived today, and it is a good one.

It is perfectly oversized, has a deep v front, and is very soft. It is a shaker stitch and looks more expensive than it is. It also comes in other colours.

I love a good sweater.

The alchemical jackets by Horses Atelier will be released today at 10 am EST for the general public. Subscribers got early access one day early so I got to see them.

They have four different wool colours/patterns each fall and the one that I always gravitated to is the graphite herringbone. It’s a classic and always the winner in my mind.

That is until I saw the ochre herringbone. It’s such a lush golden colour, and I love it. I am always drawn to greys when I look better in browns, especially golden browns. It matches my hair.

Anyway, they have payment plans which made it workable for me. Margaret Atwood owns one, which is a top recommendation if you ask me.
