BRINGING OUT AN AUTUMN FAVOURITE

4 October 2017

October is here! Which means Autumn is making it's way out and most people would be bringing out the items they wear in colder climates... and this applies to me too. In a sense.

I've never been one to pile on massive amounts of layers when it starts getting colder but what I do love is that time of year when it's acceptable to crack out my coat collection! I mean, right now it isn't necessarily cool enough to pile on a full winter outfit and a big coat. So i've been styling my usual outfits but putting on coats to keep me a little bit warmer.

Is it weird to have a favourite coat? Well, I do. And it's this faux fur dreamy coat that I bought from TK Maxx a while back, what I love most about it is the white strands of fur running through it, it makes a change from the usual faux fur coats you see dotted around. I tend to also throw this on with my scruffs in colder weather when I'm popping out and it sort of automatically dresses up an outfit. On my previous posts A YouTuber Made Me Buy It and Back In Black I featured this coat too, but it just shoes how versatile it is and it can be styled in so many different ways!

Like I previously mentioned, with the weather still not being stupidly cold I tend to wear my usual outfits, which normally consists of a skirt or dress, and I pop the coat over the top to add the warmth. I've been trying to find an opportunity to style this cute mesh top for my blog and I needed to do it sooner rather than later, something I absolutely love is the way a colourful top underneath the black mesh looks. Plus mustard yellow is a colour I want to bring into my wardrobe a lot more this A/W.

Oh how I'm so ready for Autumn. Despite the fact that I'm always full of cold it is honestly my favourite time of year! I love that slight chill in the air and when you wake up in the morning you can see your breath. When I'm out and about and I see the leaves falling from the trees I feel happy, the autumnal colours that the leaves change to are an absolute dream. I also love all the Autumnal flavoured food and drinks that come out, I'm a sucker for anything Pumpkin Spiced of course. To top it all off it's my favourite time of year... Halloween! I'm actually ready for Halloween at the beginning of September, and I've spent a lot of time rewatching my fave spooky movies. To get myself ready for Halloween I also created some Halloween nail art, as the brand Leighton Denny* recently sent me some nail polish to try out. I decided to create some blood drops with a black background however I'm not exactly a pro at anything nail related but I found the nail polish easy to use. It also lasts about a week before chipping, which is something I'm also very impressed with!
