Autumn Sunshine







Coat: Vintage (similar here). Bag: DSUK c/o LYDC.Ray-Bans: c/o Shade Station. Shoes: Topshop (similar here)
I’m not one to tell fibs (well, not regularly anyway) and I wasn’t about to sit around and pretend I wasn’t bloomin’ excited that summer might be over.  Don’t get me wrong I do love the sun and that everyone is so much jollier when it’s got it’s hat on, but I don’t really ‘enjoy’ summer clothing. I’m much more interested in my autumn/winter wardrobe and could not WAIT to whip out a coat!

Admittedly this is my mother’s coat - one she picked up at a vintage market for £7 a few years ago (you might say we’re quite the bargain hunters) but I’m blogging it all the same. It was rather nippy yesterday and I was staying at my parents so raided Mute’s wardrobe for something warm to wear before we popped out on a jolly. Needless to say she wasn’t impressed when I pranced out in this little beauty, but there was no chance I was taking it off. Oddly, the sun was still fierce so I was in need of some sunnies and having just received my first ever pair of Ray-Ban’s I whipped them out and off we went. It probably sounds ridiculous but it’s crazy how much difference it makes having higher-end sunglasses. They feel a zillion times sturdier than my £5 Primark pair I’ve been sporting this summer and actually manage to stay put on my little pea head without slipping halfway down my face every second and giving me a roaring headache like most do!

So, oversize coats and sunglasses combined are my way of stating that I rather like being chilly, but the sun must stay put. Agreed?

Looking for your winter coat? You can shop my look here...

    That coat is AMAZING!! As if it was only £7!
    And I love your hair colour, its beautiful! <3
    Jealous of your Ray-Bans, I have wanted a pair for years, I think I might finally cave and get some soon, the temptation is becoming too much! haha! xxx

    Actually DROOLING over that coat. Gah, your mom's a lucky woman & you are stunning. Your hair is just the perfect red shade and you're a doll face!

    I don't really like summer clothes either, and typically, I don't like Spring either. Give me A/W weather all the time please! I can't wait til it's anything but blistering hot here, so I can break out a jacket.

    The coat is beautiful. If I wasn't five-two, I would rock the oversized coat trend of Fall 2013! I'll have to vintage shop more! Love your hair color as well.
