#1 : Red Sofa x Ovate Rune Rings / Love how these look as a set, they almost look like tattoos…

I realized the other day that I’d never actually posted what I wore for Fashion’s Night Out, only my roundup of the AllSaints event we spent most of the night at. I stumbled across these last night & so I thought I ought to post them, especially as they were kind of a big deal for me to get!

I hate doing photos in public, I am naturally a very shy person & it just makes me feel so uncomfortable, much to Ollie’s annoyance! He somehow coaxed me into taking some as we were walking to check out a few other stores & I felt pretty proud of myself for getting a few shots, that was until a group of Chinese tourists gathered around & started taking photos of me themselves! This drew even more people’s attention, which made me feel so embarrassed I just kind of awkwardly skulked off! Cringe!

Three Floor is fast turning into one of my favourite brands, the clothes are unique, well designed & in beautiful fabrics, they look far more expensive than their high street price tags. I know I’m going to end up with a huge collection from them, this shirt being only my second piece, especially as I want every single thing from their new A/W range!

I brought this Belstaff jacket quite a few years ago at a sample sale & it’s become my go to jacket for chucking on to dress down an outfit. I love the waxed cotton, it looks like leather from a distance, but it’s so much lighter & the way it breaks in, staying stiff on the collar but supple on the sleeves & waist, covered in creases & worn spots, is just perfect. It fits me like it was made for me & I love when jackets have heaps of practical features built in like this does. The crinkly noise it makes when you put it on might just be one of my favourite ever noises too!

PS: This was a few days after I got my black eye, on the night I remember being really paranoid that it looked really bad, but looking back at these I think my heavy duty MAC concealer did a pretty good job of disguising it! Shame it couldn’t do anything about the puffiness though!

Despite the fact we’re heading into autumn here it’s been surprisingly sunny, it’s as though the weathers trying to make up for the miserable summer we’ve had & it’s been making me dream about sunglasses! Not that I need the sun to wear mine though, I wear them as much in the winter as I do in the summer, thanks to my watery eyes.

I’m pretty set in my ways when buying sunglasses, most of my pairs are hard to tell apart, but I think with sunglasses it’s best to stick with what suits you. I’ve been told by every store I’ve been into to buy a pair that I should go for something rounded to soften up my angular features, but it just doesn’t work for me, I prefer to play up this angluarness by wearing heavy, squared frames & I’ve never met a pair of cat eyes I didn’t like! I also usually go for black, but recently I’ve found myself loving the softer neutral colours like cream & blush, I’m seriously longing for a pair of those nude coloured Celines…

Top of my wish list though are the squared off Celine cat eyes in black, they’re like superhero sunglasses & I love how the squareness really updates such a classic shape. I’ve always been a sucker for wayfarer styles too & I’ve got my eye on the Ksubi pair, the cream flecks are such a quirky touch & it helps to add a little softness to the heavy black frames.
