I have been for this moment all year. The fall capsule wardrobe moment. When I was out today, I got a little thrill when my watch buzzed with a notification from H&M saying “cozy fall knitwear”. I couldn’t wait to get home to check it out.

Because cozy fall knitwear is all part of my personal hygge.

I called this post The Ultimate Fall Capsule Wardrobe for Me because it is basically the pieces I live in from fall until it starts to warm up again in spring.

You might have noticed that I was sporting a new purse this week. Well, new to me but it’s actually preloved. I love being able to find something that may no longer be considered an “IT” bag but is something that speaks to you.

It actually was considered an IT Bag way back in 2011, but you don’t really see people sporting them anymore but that didn’t sway my decision.

It is the Fendi Silvana bag and it comes in a whole slew of colours. The blue combo and the green combo are beautiful and it would have been a hard decision if they were available at the same time as this one, but they weren’t in any shops within Canada.

It is another headache day today. We went out to dinner last night and Tom ordered a gigantic steak for himself. When I say gigantic I mean it came out on a large wooden slab and looked like a meal that would have been served on The Flinstone’s.

It was a huge amount of meat that promptly put him to sleep when he got home…which wouldn’t have been bad if it didn’t result in him having meat dreams.

Not dreams of actual meat but induced by the massive amount that he ate.

It is a long weekend here, which is always nice albeit disorienting when it comes to what day it is. Nothing special, just a Civic Holiday that always falls on the first Monday in August. It is also my birthday week.

My birthday is on Friday, I’ll be 42. I had to stop and think about that for a bit because I thought it was 43 for a few minutes. Time is a blur.

I was up really late last night, like 4:30-ish because Merle would not go to sleep. I’m surprised she wasn’t exhausted because I took her for a walk yesterday that was 8kms and I thought for sure she would be knocked out at a decent time.

I have really messed up my sleeping patterns over the last 1+, but they have been exceptionally bad over the last 3 months. Like still up at 4 am kind of messed up schedule.

And while most days feel like I am trying to mentally swim through mud, it actually worked out in my favour last night.
