This weekend was filled with task-type activities:
- Vacuuming - check
- Laundry - check
- Sorting the mail - half check
- Eating a chocolate bar - check.
Club Monaco Cape, J.Crew L/S Tee, Siwy Denim Shorts,
Banana Republic Tights, Mike & Chris Booties, Alexander Wang Handbag
Growing up in Canada Club Monaco was always a favorite brand.

They pay great attention to detail and don't chintz out on fabric
- this cape is a wool/cashmere blend meaning
it keeps its structure but is still super soft and cozy.
The button down back adds a special finishing touch, too.
Seventh Door Bracelet, Ring found at LF
Mike & Chris Booties purchased at a way-back-in-the-day
sample sale that almost claimed my life, but was totally worth it.
2 hours later I got a concussion at Alexander McQueen on Melrose (don't ask)

See that SUV behind me? It had just finished almost running us over.
This is the look of elation + relief.

Outfit pictures are stressful enough as it is, thanks.

it's way too hot here in Sydney to rock the cape at the moment but you are doing a fine and dandy job in LA - love the cape!
ok, I looove the cape. but i also really love your shoes and bracelets! I don't even have the ability to imagine 90 degree weather, I'm a little jealous about that, but I'm glad you're getting some fall weather finally my dear!
Oh my, I love that cape! So classy :)
Love the whole outfit. The cape is lovely. I'm loving gray at the moment! x
ooh i love your cape coat and that bracelet!!! and finally you guys pushed up the hour :) must be a relief to have more daylight with your summer's end!
Love the booties! They are so cute! xo
That cape is exactly how I want to welcome fall weather. It looks like it was made for you. It sounds like you had a good weekend with some fun stuff and some productive stuff. Those are the best to me. I'm finally out of bed and bad to work today, which is oddly exciting. But only 3 days this week and then we're off to Scottsdale for a long relaxing weekend! About the pictures, I got REALLY excited because I can see them! But then I realized there were still two that didn't show up (the first and last). But at least it's getting better! Hope you have a great day.

Your cape looks fabulous on you... you are just completely gorgeous. I seriously need to learn how to "bump" my ponytail like you do. Mines flat and ugly.

You look very Urban Chic!
I did enjoy my extra hour. I started an inspiration book. When you feel like your life is in limbo - start an inspiration book. :)
The cape is perfection, and I need that bracelet in my life. I search from time to time on eBay for vintage capes - just haven't found the right one yet, but I'm not giving up.....
Mwah!

You look fantastic in that gorgeous cape!! Love the grey. I am lusting after capes this season, but I'm afraid I might be too short to pull one off.
You look HOT! I love love love the cape!!! I just ordered one from ASOS, i hope it fits and looks cute like this! ;)

I LOVE that cape! And your ring. And your booties. And that you weren't run over by a crazy driver ; ) Amen to that!
outfit pics are SO stressful. luckily, yours look great! Love the cape--so regal.

A sample sale that almost claimed your life and a near death experience with an suv? Sounds like aggravated mayhem...
I'm glad you got to enjoy a bit more summer fun before the cold snap - and capes, yes yes and yes. Yours is adorable! I acquired a vintage cape I must wear soon!
the cape looks so chic on you! I love it :)
I'm jealous of your still summery like weather, we're experiencing the 20's now at night! :/
XXXO

Love the cape and boots are yes worth your life. :)
Happy Monday.
PS finally able to see pictures except for the one with the SUV. Don't know why but glad to see you again.

You are the most hilarious fashionista alive, I swear. I adore Club Monaco things but own nothing from the brand. This clearly needs to change, seeing as I'm madly in love with your cape. Absolutely adorable!

I love the cape! I really need to get to a store and try a few one because I really love the look but I'm also convinced that I could never pull it off but I really need to make a go of it and see for myself.

Oh, I just love it! Sadly, we're quickly moving away from cape weather and straight into down parka weather here in New England.
Oh that cape! That cape! (And I can't believe it, I can see your pictures - huzzah!!) I also do not love housework/admin stuff - to put it mildly - but I do love how it feels when it's all over. Hope your week's off to a terrific start :)
Was 'eating a chocolate bar' checked of you list first? Because I know it would be if it were mine. It could probably be checked off at least twice too. :)
Love the cape it's absolutely stunning.

I had completely forgotten-four magical days off! I'm going to keep repeating that to myself until Turkey day arrives!
As for that cape-I'm in heaven! I have a little fur capelet at my parents' house that I'm bringing back with me to San Francisco, protest be damned!

I have my doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon, but other than that I'm free if you want to talk! :)
Carrie,
The back of this cape is my favorite! I just love it with leggings too! Hmm, I may need one asap. My husband will be thrilled. ;)

A big fat YES to capes! I have a few and yours is spectacular! And what's the deal with the weather lately? Craziness...today it actually snowed a bit in NYC!
Hope your week is off to a fab start! xoxo

What a beautiful cape! I have come *this* close to buying a few before chickening out for fear of looking like little red riding hood. But this cape is soo sophisticated

I love love love capes, and that one is perfect with the button in the back! SWEET! Did you really get a concussion?? Cause I REALLY chipped one of my teeth.
Oh I really love the tailoring of this cape! Go Club Monaco!
I have to admit I'm a bit hesitant to buy one of these... it's almost too cold for these already here in good ol' Alberta.
Yay, glad that the picture issue is solved:) I'm absolutely jealous of ur gorgeous cape!! I'm obsessed with capes lol I'm gonna miss the warmth, but I'm kinda excited to layer. Though I heard that it's suppose to reach 80 degrees this weekend?? LOL that's so cal for ya;)

This "cape" looks amazing :))))
Love the cape! It is so unique and looks fabulous. Definitely perfect for weather like we are having now!
Carrie,
I totally love the cape, the shoes, the ring, the bag...you look fab. And this weather yo-yo'ing is making me very nervous as I look forward to my super long upcoming holiday visits to LA. It was freezing here yesterday and we even saw our first snowflakes!! CRAZY!
Hope you've got some sunshine today!
xoxo

i love the cape!! i really want one ;)
I love youyr fancy/sexy pony tail!!
My friend is working at club monaco,when i visit her i want everything, i sadly can not afford much there though hehe
Lovely shoes ! (:
very cute, I love the color. This reminds me, where in the h-e double hockey sticks is mine? I packed it away last winter and I have the slightest idea where it is, since I already unpacked my gear. hmm, maybe the storage mice carried it off! Cute as always my dear! xoxo
loving the cape! i gotta get me one.
love the ring and bracelets, too!
You're always baking such yummy things...and that cape is too cool for words. I really want to find a cape like that.
How much do you think you spend on wardrobe/accessories in a month, give or take?
omg, i'm in love with this cape! love the grey color and how well constructed it is.

a Tahoe, no less! way to brave it in yo cape, sista!
want. need. I wish I'd been around during that 30 degree drop to see how kitties reacted. lots of snuggles, I'm sure. I love the way their faces get a little chunkier when they're trying to stay warm....
ok enough cat blabber.
