Autumn Is Coming

Beret~Vintage/ Blouse~Zara/ Skirt~H&M/ Necklace~C/O Good Looking Objects

Hello my sweets and a very warm welcome to September....well not so warm if you live in England, but more on that later.

September has always been the month I have enjoyed the most, May and March come pretty close, but this month always seems to top them all. I love the change in season, how the trees turn into wonderful autumnal shades, beautiful root vegetables come into season and there is still enough warmth in the air to hang your washing out. Unfortunately, so far this month the weather has been pretty awful here, very windy and rainy, but hey ho- you've just got to make the most of the sunny patches.

My eyes had been on this Zara blouse for a pretty long time, I kept seeing it crop up on Instagram and I even bypassed it in store a couple of times, uming and ahhing over it and deciding whether to wait until pay day or not. Luckily enough, by the time I got my mitts on it, it was already in the sale and I couldn't have been more chuffed.

I also got a very exciting new piece of jewelry to add to my collection this month, a very sweet gift from one of my new favourite brands Good Looking Objects. This little bronze hand has been the cherry on top of my outfits recently and I love how it goes with every single thing I pop on. Its witchy vibes are also a huge plus for me.

I am off to Bulgaria on Saturday, I am so so excited to go somewhere completely new and different. A week to relax in the sunshine like a reptile and climb some mountains. I am sure I will have a whole album of pictures to show you on my return.

Lots of love always

Annual Autumn Wardrobe Essentials

Autumn Staples

As the nights draw in earlier and the frosty air starts to take its first steps, it's time we start thinking about more layering and appropriate attire for the months ahead.

I thought I would share with you some bits and bobs,

that always get me through this time of year.

My essentials,

my staples.

Tartan Skirt

Skirt~Primark

Firstly, is my beloved Tartan skirt. I got this a few years back, from trusty old Primark and find myself wearing it constantly throughout the Autumn period.

 For a start, tartan as a pattern is very festive indeed.

But the fabric itself, combined with the pleats create warmth

and give the skirt a more cosy feel.

TurtleNeck Jumper

Gold glitter turtleneck~Beyond Retro

It probably goes without saying, but you can never have enough jumpers to smother yourself in when it is nippy outside. I have a really problem with getting the chills (my circulation is a complete mess), so it is imperative I keep a little less reptilian in Autumn.

Turtlenecks are a great way to warm your whole upper body.

A lot of heat is kept in your neck and your head, so it is important

to keep those bits as hot as possible.

I got this glittery number from Beyond Retro a few years back and it has been doing me a world of good ever since. 

Beret

Mustard Beret~Vintage

Okay, so I may be a bit biased when it comes to berets...as my collection of them is obscene-but they are the most important part of this list.

As I mentioned before it is super important that you keep your head warm and so why not do it in style?

Berets make every outfit just that little bit more perky and 

I am a real fan of things both practical and pretty.

 Boots

Lace-up boots~Clarks

Whether they be chunky, Chelsea, ankle or knee-high- Autumn is the perfect time to purchase a pair of good old stomping boots.

They come in handy when kicking leaves, treading carefully on icy ground or just having shoes big enough to wear over fluffy socks.

I paired my outfit with these brown lace/zip-up boots from Clarks. They seem to go with most of the earthy and mustard shades of the season and more importantly they are just so comfy!

What are your Autumn Staples?

Lots of Love

XOXO

Beret~accessorize/Top~The Real McCoy/Pinafore~Mod Dolly/ Bag~Vintage/Shoes~Topshop

Hello again my dears,
I have to confess now, I have done nothing this past week except for watch Gossip Girl from the beginning on Netflix. I have become addicted....again.
October is here and so I thought I would combine my two current loves at the moment;Autumn attire and trying to channel my inner Blair Waldorf . She is one of my biggest style icons and even though trying to even touch her perfect style is impossible, I wanted to try and incorporate pieces from my wardrobe that were somewhat Waldorf like. 
This season for me is all about greens, yellows and purples. So my beloved Mod Dolly pinafore is always a favourite, especially this time of year. Berets are also an essential for me and this mustard one has seen me through a few good years of chilly weather. 

Who is your biggest style icon and what are your favourite shades to wear in autumn?

Lots of Love
