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.

Woah how mental would it be if you were walking about and this happened?

Too cool for school...

.... academy for wayward girls, do you not realise how hard I am working for my pennies? Do you not realise how close it is to christmas and present buying? So why make me lovely things for me to buy? I never knew I needed trompe l'oeil brogues until know but at $350(!!!) maybe I should be practicing with the fabric pens!

Branching out....

Ok so while doing my usual going into shops and wishing I could buy things but having no money, I went into No15 in the Thorntons Arcade because I was hoping they would have something pretty for my Mum for christmas. They did but thats by the by because it wasn't fashion-y. Anyway back to it they had a lovely little line of wooden jewellery by The Branch. Founded in 2003 by Wendy Pickard, The Branch is a range of wooden jewellery with delightful silver and gold accents, semi precious stones and even the odd diamond. I love the fusion of glamour with the natural element of wood. Even the chainmail pieces are made from tiny wooden hoops. Now all I need to do is not buy anyone a christmas present and I can get myself a nice little selection. Giving is overrated anyway...

e.g.

As I have been off work ill today, I have been laying in bed discovering the wonder that is stumbleupon, anyways I "stumbled upon" this little lovely - e.g. Designer Emma Griffiths had previously worked for Alexander McQueen and Boudicca, but here she is with her own stuff that is easily as good and is already being worn by the likes of Beth Ditto and Ciara! All I can say is I want, I want, I want!!
