October '13

If there was one month I wish I could make twice as long it would be October. I love autumn so much there aren't even enough words! Unfortunately this year nature around here shows a lot less colour than previous years but it's not just the colours that get me excited. It's the shorter days, the cold coming in and, of course, the change of wardrobe. I've spent these last few days in bed with a bit of a nasty flu but here's hoping it's out of my system soon so I can go and enjoy autumn part two - also known as November.

A grey area

(COS coat, Acne sweater, Gina Tricot boyfriend jeans, Converse sneakers, Mulberry bag and Karen Walker sunglasses) 

On my wishlist for this season I had a dark coloured winter coat and/or a pink one. But then I ran into this one at COS, tried it on and knew I couldn't leave it behind. Love the length, the drop shoulder and the beautiful soft grey colour. I am a bit of a sucker for grey and don't think I really needed another grey item in my wardrobe really, but who cares - there are no rules for this.

A weekend look

(Topshop trenchcoat, Topshop shirt, Zara wide leg jeans, Mulberry bag and Ray-Ban sunglasses) 

A very typical weekend outfit.. Jeans, trench and a big bag to carry around all my stuff in. Just slightly more dressy than the sweatpants I tend to walk around in the rest of the weekend. Admittedly, this pic was snapped over a week ago when the weather wasn't as cold yet - by now I've actually swapped this trench for a winter coat!
