Whilst I mourn the end of summer for the weather, I happily console myself in the fact the change in seasons means I can dig my Autumn/Winter wardrobe out, as well as treat myself to a few pieces in keeping with the latest new trends.
It really is my most favourite style season, tights under floral tea dresses, cable knit jumpers, tasselled ponchos, beautiful boots (tan, black and even metallic hues both ankle and knee high), statement jewellery and glossy, Autumnal beauty looks to complement the look.
And A/W means bringing out my favourite LBD’s (black and lace) and jewel toned frocks of course for some serious glamour for cocktails with the girls and Christmas parties.
Being so busy with the blog and having weekends dedicated to family time, I don’t get to hit the shops as much as I’d like so tend to do most of my shopping online.
I love nothing more than perusing the ‘virtual rails’ from the comfort of living room, cup of rooibos in hand and the Kardashians on in the background! (I’ve got to keep up, right)!
