Black & Gold

I'm not one to usually go all black, for some reason I forget that all black outfits are a classic. Still, I've managed to break this up a bit with lots of hints of gold because, apparently, I can't buy anything black without a little gold accent. Yes, I'm basically a magpie.

I'm getting really fed up with winter now, the amount of rain we're getting saps me of motivation to sneak out in the minute window of time when it's not Noah's flood going on outside in order to take photos. I am however, still on the hunt for a perfect grey coat and with loads of spring collections hitting the shops already, I feel like my coat of dreams is staying right there.

Last Days of Summer

Ah yes, remember when it was warm and we could wear sandals without getting wet toesies?

These photos were only taken a week or two ago and I have a feeling these were the last days of summer. I know we're well into September but I like to hold onto warm weather for as long as possible and I'm still holding out hope for an Indian summer. I think it's because we're off to Turkey for a few days next week so as yet, I still have a barrier between the end of the summer and Christmas. Once I'm back I promise I'll get all nostalgic for bonfire night and jumpers.

No really. I will.

This dress top thing was hanging up in my 'to eBay' pile for ages and then I had a change of heart and rescued it. I'm thinking it's actually quite a staple piece, yah.

Again, my new beloved Clubmaster Ray-ban's make an appearance. To be honest, I don't think they'll be going anywhere, they're too frickin' awesome.
