Autumn chill

Red stack heeled flat ankle strap shoes: Dorothy Perkins
Black Bayswater: Mulberry

Summer is well and truly over and I'm still trying to avoid wearing tights so instead I'm opting for a maxi skirt to try and avoid the cold. This rather snazzy shoes were a bargain sale buy from last week. I loved the mini faux snakeskin stacked heel to help give some height and an ankle strap is always a winner. Not the most comfortable pair of shoes it has to be said but that's nothing a few plasters can't solve! I can see myself getting a lot of wear out of this faux leather jacket this autumn as it's the perfect thickness for the coming autumn months. I'll even go as far as to say it's probably my favourite thing I've brought this year. Yeah I know. That's a hell of a bold statement.

This coming week is jam packed and once again I'm burning the candle at both ends. My boyfriend was lucky enough to win iTune festival tickets to see Haim so I have that to look forward to on Saturday. I'm also out for dinner three times this week - someone say greedy?! One for a much needed catch up with my best friend, the second for Lily's birthday and the third for burger afternoon tea for Sarah's birthday. Lily's my kind of girl as we're now doing the third thing to help celebrate her birthday! I've got a few blog events to go to as well so it really is all systems go. Next week I'm looking forward to coming home from work and spending the evenings snuggled up in my pyjamas.

  14. Those shoes are just beautiful - I'm currently on a mission to replace all my floppy toshop ballet flats with ones that are slightly better quality or just not so completely flat so these will definitely be getting tried on if my local dp has any left!
