Autumn is here!! Jumpers, boots, falling leaves, coats, scarves, tights! I love wearing tights and boots and I'm even just happy wearing jeans again after a summer of bare legs. I feel this time of year is perfect style wise when it's not freezing -  you don't need gloves yet, it's not bitter against your face, yet you can wrap up just a little bit, play with layering and paint your nails in a deep oxblood colour. Whilst I try not to stuff my wardrobe anymore full than it already is and most of the things I wear I've had for a few years, you always want a couple of new pieces to mix in for each new season. I've been ordering a few new bits for a trip to New York at the end of next week {!!} as well as the months ahead. A few things I've been coveting recently;


 - These Chelsea boots, with just a hint of leopard. They're super comfy and look great with both jeans and tights. I sprayed mine with a waterproof protector before wearing.



- This waterproof wax parker. I'm always after the perfect coat for the new season. For me, that means being waterproof, having a good hood, being long enough and warm enough without looking like you're a Michelin man. It also needs to look good and be a neutral colour to work with all my other accessories. I finally find it with this coat, it's a parker yet waxy and is 100% waterproof as well as having a removable {beautiful patterned silky} lining so you can wear on those muggy damp days as well as when it's freezing. I'm actually wishing we'd have a few more rainy days just so I've got an excuse to wear it!


- Cardigans and coatigans to layer up. I bought this recently {now unfortunately sold out, hopefully it will come back in?} and have got a grey coatigan from last year which is perfect for wearing as an outer layer if it's fairly mild or under a coat in the winter. Camel and grey tend to be my favourite colours for these.

- Tops/dresses. Mostly all from Zara in store/on their app, I find their website a bit useless. Also this burnt orange dress. And this shirt {IN LOVE}. Give me all the tartan shirts/dark florals at this time of year. Also I was surprised at some of Primark's latest offerings, I'm wearing today a navy blue blouse which looks 10 x more expensive than it actually was, and a plaid shirt that's really thick and such a bargain.


- Scarves. You can never have too many right? Most of mine are still good from last year but I'm investing in a couple of new ones - This soft scarf is just up my street. I also have a Leopard scarf I have barely taken off from Zara. You want it as big and soft as possible!

- I'm struggling jumper wise this season. I picked up some oversized jumpers from Primark that were great value and perfect for walking the dog in but they just don't feel that amazing. I ordered loads from H&M and sent them all back. I'm definitely ordering this This fairisle jumper though along with this cream cable knit and in the meantime I'll keep hunting!

- Likewise I always wear these jeans but this year my size just isn't in stock!! I need to order double when they finally come back in {and in the meantime hope mine don't wear out before then}. Somebody recommended H&M for jeans but I looked on their website and it's a minefield! I just detest jeans shopping but I think I might have to bite the bullet and go soon. I'm hoping I might find a good pair in New York?
