Monday- Rusty Railway

Happy Monday folks!

What a lovely start to the week, the sun is still shining and if you manage to stay out of the wind, there is still a warmth in the air.
I had a day off work and so I decided to go and have a little adventure down by the old railway tracks near my town.

The station itself is so lovely, covered in flowers, pastel guttering and vintage adverts. It is in its own little time warp and is completely silent-apart from the 12 o'clock steam train. 

I felt the need to channel one of my favourite films 'The Railway Children' and hop on and off of the old rusty carriages and grassy green tracks. My tartan pinafore from Mod Dolly I have had for a few years now and it never fails to see me through the Autumn/ Winter months.

From now on I am going to make the most of my days off, as there are so many quaint little places for a stroll around Devon. 

You honestly never know what you will stumble across.

I will be cooped up working in the Pharmacy until Sunday now, so fresh air and beautiful landscapes are always very welcome.

I do hope your week has begun with a positive bang!

Lots of love always

Witch In The Wind

Dress~H&M/ Shoes~Topshop

Hey lovelies!

Okay okay I know Halloween was nearly a week ago, but here is my belated witchy vibe post. I hardly ever wear such dark ensembles but, as it was the time of the season I thought I would go all out. 

Off on a mission to see some wild ponies, I went up to the moors

 to watch my dress float in the wind and feel some spooky vibes.

To my very joy, we found some magnificent horses, a whole family of them

 and

 it was so nice to be silent on a hill with them all.

Being up so high and amongst nature, made me discover where I want to go on my next adventure:

Iceland!

I have always wanted to see the Northern lights and find more quiet and unruined parts of the world- which are getting more and more rare.

 I think it will be the perfect place to get back to basics and fulfill a big dream of mine.

This year is almost over and it has been a real whirlwind, never knowing what is around the next corner. I love surprises but for the new year I think I should be a little more organised haha.

Lots of Love always

Ballroom, Flowers & Campervans

Hey lovelies!

This week has been a whirlwind of different bits and bobs. First of all I have become obsessed with watching old ballroom dancing-I have literally been staying up until the early hours watching all of these wonderful people in these wonderful outfits-glide across the room with such style and grace.

So, needless to say I wanted to get involved and have been learning a little bit of the Charleston dance, my ankles are killing from all of that swiveling but it has been so much fun. 

My best guy friend has been a great sport too and learning with me, so hopefully we will be Great Gatsby ready ever so soon.

One can only wish!

I was also very 70's inspired this week, with camper vans and Autumnal colours and fur. It really has been an eclectic week.

My favourite kind :)

I simply cannot believe we are about to enter November ever so shortly, I know I say this a lot but

 where on Earth has this year gone?

Lots of Love

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
