The Coat of Dreams








Fur Waistcoat: Zara. Black Long Sleeved Top: H&M. Supersoft Leigh Jeans: Topshop (similar here). Black Boots: c/o Emu Australia. Navy Socks: Topshop. Belt: Vintage
A few months ago I discovered the coat of dreams. Well it’s not officially a coat, it’s a waistcoat - but potata potarta. Regardless of it's title, it was love at first sight and when my cousin told me about this little beauty I couldn’t wait to get home, google it and add it to my wishlist of things I won’t be able to justify.
However, if a piece of clothing sticks in my mind for more than a few days I know that it’s something I really, really want. So naturally, I saved my little tooshie off in order to purchase it.
It’s a pricey piece but it’s certainly a ‘I can throw this on and not have to worry about the rest of my outfit’ item, which is something that has heaps of value to me! I'm absolutely head over heels and love how different it is to any other piece I own.

When this horrible weather takes over England my main aim with my wardrobe is to be warm and comfortable. Teamed with my Topshop jeans, H&M basic and stupidly comfortable EMU boots I feel I could probably climb a mountain if necessary (maybe not, but you catch my drift). On that note..these boots are the most comfiest things to ever grace my feet. The soles are FUR, yup that’s right, a thick wedge of fur lines the bottom of these beauties making me feel like I’m walking on a cloud – they also have a slight heel which gives me that little extra height to take them from being completely casual to something you can dress up. 

I’ve literally been living in this outfit and I don’t ever want to take it off. Not even to have a shower. (I know that’s gross, obviously I’m joking.... ;))

PS thank you to my lovely little sister for taking these snaps for me! We went on a walk around my village and discovered this awesome little lane, oh I do love the countryside :)

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?

I Heart Fall | TAG! Video

Me, in a puddle...
Fall - or as we like to call it here in England, autumn, is literally my favourite time of year. Not only does it mean we’re super close to Christmas (53 days to be exact, squeee! Yes that’s right I AM one of those people), but it means that the weather starts to cool, the woolly jumpers and bobble hats can come out to play and for me, it means a time for family. I just love it.

Which is why I thought this video was perfect. ‘I Heart Fall’ - is my first tag, and I really enjoyed making it. Although - I hope you guys can forgive me for being a Starbucks hater, waaaa.

What’s your favourite time of year? Have you tried this tag yet? Be sure to let me know by commenting below if you have!
