Ready for autumn

To me autumn equals layering season and could not believe my eyes when I spotted this Cape in H&M so by now I'm sure you have realised im a bit of an H&M freak!! I just love their stuff and so affordable I also purchase a lot of my kids stuff from their too.

So back to the Cape for only £25 I think you can't go wrong if you see it and want it buy it!! It's only been in stores for a week and is trending alot on inatagram so no doubt it will be a sell out at that price. 

I can't wait to layer this baby up but for today I just threw it on with a midi dress.

I've been on a hunt for a decent leather jacket and found this one from H&M
It's really thick and good quality for what it is only downfall is because it's thick it's hard to roll up the sleeves!

Blog post fail

When your trying to get that shot and the wind won't cooperate!!! 

I'm totally digging fedora hats right now thanks to Pharell making them look uber cool. 


Autumn is here and I'm still in the process of changing up my wardrobe colour pallette, I'm in love with my new navy mac despite it being four sizes too big for me I think it still works. 

It's not always about the size on the label it's about how you want the clothing to fit you.



Wind, wind go away come back another day!

Khaki vs gold

So as it's getting cold I started to crave wearing more darker colours, one my all time favourites when it comes to spring/winter is khaki mixed up with gold. I just love it!! 




Everyone is falling in love with this jumpsuit how can you not at only £14.99 and such a versatile piece for the wardrobe can easily be transformed from a day to night look. 



Jumpsuit £14.99 H&M 

If your not short like me the length of these can be rolled down. Aswell as the sleeves.




Necklace £6 Primark 



Chunky gold belt H&M 

I love this belt goes with so much wether it be a chunky cardigan, dress or jumpsuit it adds instant glam to any outfit, I purchased this last winter but they still have it in stock.

 
Black shoes £6 new look

I always seem to find the best bargains when it comes to footwear in the New Look sales.

My first thrift

I love all things vintage and can't believe I've never been thrifting I've braught the occasional teaset and other little bits but never clothes.

My mums always been into thrifting and I used to think she was crazy but as I got older I realised you can pic up some real gems in charity/vintage shops but for some reason I just never got around to it. 

So for the first time ever I found myself thrifting in Camden I wasn't even ment to be shopping was on my way to dinner.


I've walked past this Traid shop a million times and always thought it was just a charity shop not realising it also sold vintage clothing accessories I love the fact that all items our clearly marked wether they are vintage or not and state the dates of how old they are.



Photo from Traid website you can find them at 154 Camden high street NW1 0NE their our various other branches.




So this houndstooth blazer was the first thing I spotted and instantly fell in love I couldn't not buy it when I had seen it only cost £19.99 I could of easily got carried away but for once I was sensible and just purchased the blazer.









I defiantly will be thrifting more often for unique one off buys.

Blazer £19.99 Traid
