Autumn is definitely on it’s way, I love when it’s bright & sunny like this but with a nice, crisp chill in the air too. As soon as I stepped out the door & realized it was a little too cold to not take a sweater with me, I jumped at the chance to chuck on my snood again! I’ve so missed wearing them, it’s like taking your duvet out with you, I feel so snug & cozy when I’m wearing one… Plus, they’re great for burying your face in & having a quick nap on the bus!

I’ve already worn this Lovestruck dress out for a meal since it arrived, but today I decided to really dress it down with my battered boots, thick ribbed tights & this wide AllSaints belt, which for some reason I barely wear. I love plain black dresses like this, but the ruffles & plaited gold straps on this one make it that little bit more interesting.

I’m not sure why I don’t wear this belt more often, it’s one of those things that everytime I put it on I take a look in the mirror & then decide to take it off again! I have heaps of things I don’t wear as much as I ought to, especially shoes, so I’m trying to make an effort to wear them more often & any that I still haven’t worn after a month are getting ebayed! I’m too much of a horder, I think I just hang onto clothes for the sake of it, thinking they might come in handy ‘one day’…

Inspiration

FAIIINT, Inspiration, Mood, Board, Red, Black, White, Flesh, Cross, Crucifix, Fashion, Manicure, Tattoos, Caravaggio, Editorial

#1 : Peter Lingbergh for Vogue Italia / Lindbergh is one of my favourite photographers & I just adore Milla Jovovich, I won’t lie I have a total girl crush on her, plus I love the concept of the editorial too. You can see the rest of it here.
#2 : I have no idea where this is, but neon crucifixes, books & shoes… What’s not to love?!
#3 : Laurie Bartley for Numero Tokyo / Again, love Laurie Bartley, love Crystal Renn… The whole editorial is just gorgeous!
#4 : Drop Dead ring set / I’m not really a fan of Drop Dead, but I love these rings, I think it’s the way the photos been shot that’s selling them to me though!
#5 : Warren Du Preez & Nick Thornton Jones for Numero / How beautiful is this image… So striking!
#6 : Tattooed 50’s couple / I just love this!
#7 : Caravaggio ‘David & Goliath’ / Despite being very un-religious, I find religious art really beautiful… Caravaggio is one of my all time favourite artists, I love the intensity of his work & his trademark dramatic use of chiaroscuro.
#8 : Rose thorn choker / I have looked everywhere to find who this is by, I’d love it in gold, delicate & yet tough at the same time…
#9 : Red tipped manicure at Donna Karan / Gorgeous! Will definitely be trying this out!

Topshop Laser Cut Suede Jacket / Camp Beverly Hills Men’s Tee * / ASOS Maxi Skirt / Bracher Emden Soft Clutch * / H&M Choker

Firstly, I apologize for the fact that I look like I’ve not slept for days, those who follow me on instagram or twitter will know that I got given a huge black eye by a very over-enthusiastic husky puppy whilst we were playing (I’m sure you can guess who!) last week. It’s almost healed now, but the puffiness & swelling is still hanging around making me look seriously sleep deprived!

I might be the only one, but I am so excited to be able to wear my heavy maxi skirts & jackets again, Autumn is definitely my favourite season & I can’t wait to layer up even more. This laser cut jacket from Topshop is one of those pieces I love & yet hate at the same time. I love the beautifully cut back & how attention grabbing it is (I got stopped by 4 different people today just to tell me how much they loved it) but I hate that I can only wear it when the weather’s just right. It’s too delicate to layer over any bulky sweaters to make it more winter appropriate & the suede is too thick, heavy & sweaty to wear during the summer, so I intend to wear it as much as possible whilst I can!

I’m developing a bit of an addiction to Bracher Emden’s bags. It’s as though they’ve peered into my brain, made a note of what my ideal bag would look like & designed them especially for me. I have been taking my Geo clutch everywhere with me, it’s such a showstopper & never fails to get people asking about it thanks to it’s unusual shape, but as someone who likes to pack everything but the kitchen sink into her bags it’s not something I can carry day to day. This soft oversized Lucy clutch is perfect for that though, it has all the same attitude & wonderful design elements of the Geo but in a more practical size & shape. I love the option of the removable shoulder strap & the geometric appliqué which gives it that same sci-fi feel I loved about the Geo.

Mens tees are one of my favourite things to wear, especially when paired with more streamlined & tailored pieces. This one from Camp Beverly Hills is exactly what I’ve been looking for, beautiful super soft cotton, boxy cut & minimalistic text to the front. It’s a perfect basic & I’ve always had a soft spot for heathered charcoal tees, so it’s a great addition to my collection… Well, I say ‘my collection’ most are the boyfriends that I’ve just never given back!
