Fun Fur Fervour

Autumn/Winter is now synonymous with faux fur 'n' fedoras, (p)leather 'n' plaid and burgundy 'n' black for me, so, when this gorgeous blackened-burgundy jacket (Sesame Street residents, eat your hearts out) and pitch-perfect classic black hat alerted me to a couple of gaping voids in my AW14 wardrobe, they were never going to escape my clutches...

Check, Check... Check

Crazy coat lady has officially returned... please allow me to introduce you to new A/W coat 2 of 5 (so far). Well, you wait years for an affordable midi cover-up and then 2 come along at once, what's a girl to do, eh? This boyfriend-style houndstooth crombie looks and feels so high-end - it's an absolute steal at £35... Luckily enough for me, this was actually a surprise birthday present, but, if it hadn't been, it would still have gone straight into my basket on my next Primark dash! Since, as you may have noticed, I can never resist an opportunity to double, or, if at all possible, triple check, I had to try it out with my new gingham dirndl skirt for starters...

The Blanket Cape

Burberry having officially made the public wearing of blankets not just socially acceptable, but entirely cutting-edge, I was hopping with excitement on spying this soft and snuggly version in Primark... just the thing for keeping the chill at bay on Summer evenings now, and easing us into the transition to Autumn later on (booo)... While the heat is still (just about) on, it's the perfect partner for playsuits, and I couldn't resist teaming it up with this one once I realised how perfectly its cut-outs would echo the cape's Aztec-style graphic print!

How to Wear Culottes - 2 Ways

Yep, having clocked Boohoo's amazing range of culottes, I've finally got my hands on *the* item of the season, and these pretty porcelain/butterfly print versions have definitely dispelled any Brownie-leader associations that may have been lingering in my mind! The high-waisted midi cut gives them a cute vintage vibe and makes them versatile enough to wear with anything from crop tops to shirts... Perfect teamed with clean-cut white separates for no-sweat summer styling, but, me being me, I couldn't resist trying out a double-china-print look too...
