AUTUMN LIGHTS
I’ve always had a thing for Autumn, but it’s quite rare for us to have such beautiful sunny weather at this time of the year. The sun is out, the leaves are vibrant and all I want to do is take long walks bundled up in a scarf and hat.
I think I’m a hat person. Beanies usually suit me and I can get away with most shapes, but there’s something about this Whistles hat that terrifies me. I had a discount card from a magazine and really wanted to buy a hat, but I umm’d and ahh’d for a long time. Eventually I settled on the navy blue (I loved the grey but it was too similar to my coat!). I feel a bit ridiculous when I wear it and it’s the sort of thing my brother-in-law would definitely make fun of, but I also kinda love it…
Talking of accessories, this watch is from Daniel Wellington. I often get asked about my Acurist watch but although it’s really affordable, it’s also hard to get hold of and hard to find with a rose gold face and black strap. This one from Daniel Wellington is rose gold and black, has a really simple and clean design and is easy to get hold of here. I love a classic watch design like this as it goes with any outfit. I also wore alongside it this beautiful friendship bracelet from Monica Vinader. Again, a simple but classic design that looks really elegant and pretty on. The L necklace is by Kate Spade although I chose not to wear it in the end as it didn’t quite go with the outfit.
I’m so happy with the relaxed, baggy knit that I bought from Brandy Melville. It’s cosy, comfy and I love how it looks with my skinny Topshop Jaime jeans and Steve Madden boots. Luckily it’s still warm enough to wear my Topshop coat and my Urban Outfitters rucksack is still my daily favourite.
I’m going to try and take more outfit/lifestyle photos this month, so let me know if you like them! And for all you beauty junkies out there… the lipstick is MAC Plumful!
