Farewell Summer....

Summer, summer wherefore art thou? I guess it has gone then? Sorry to keep posting back to school/autumn posts but I can’t escape the feeling!!! I do love autumn though; I think it’s my favourite time of year. And not just because my birthday is in September!!! I love everything about autumn. I love the colours of autumn, I love the bonfires/Halloweens, I love being able to eat sausage and mash without sweating! And I love the fact that there’s no better excuse for new clothes than dark nights and colder weather. I’m already on the hunt new boots (anyone know where I can get some?), and I recovered my woolly, ribbed tights from storage last week! I do think I have found my dream coat but I don’t have £295 and if I could try and save it but I might have suffered frostbite by then, but just look at the little beauty.

In this funny in-between season time I am lusting after light knits in pretty colours like this lovely bit of embellished knitwear which would also be perfect for spring and matches the colour of the hair I fell in love with in my last post. I can never resist a little bit of sparkle either. Swoon.

Sniff Sniff 2....

As promised I have sniffed my way through my Angela Flanders perfumes in my quest for my new signature scent. Before I give my review I just need to say I think everyone should have a go at venturing away from the big name brands and finding something a little bit more unique. It feels so much more special and exciting!

OK here goes:

Cover up...

I thought this was quite sweet, maybe a bit odd, but mostly sweet. Coats from the underground takes nightlife photos but rather than the usual nightclub posing a la cobrasnake etc he takes pictures of coats hanging in the cloakroom whilst the owners party on unsuspecting. I mean I like coats but they do look a bit like they are in a coat dungeon...

Also some look like trousers to me?

Whatever happened to wishful thinking?

Note to designers, why am I seeing so many coats on the S/S10 catwalks? Do you know something we don't about next summer? I mean yeah last summer was a washout but lets hang on to a bit of hope for next time around eh? Just a few of the many I have spotted.

That said don't get me wrong if I'm going to have to spend the Summer in a coat these are perfectly lovely.
