Thin Red Line

Green is my favourite colour, but dark red runs it a very close second. (What no black? Well, obvs, that's high up there too, but let's talk colour for a second). Aside from being the bestest shade for Autumn (that's official!), it has so many freaking good names: burgundy, maroon, wine (we like wine), claret (we like claret too), merlot, shiraz.....hang on....we seem to have gone a little vinocentric here. Anyroad, you get the idea :) I currently find myself lusting after that burgundy suit from Topshop (sadly not in stock currently, but it looks a lot like this...oh wait...here's the trews), a maroon bomber from H&M (s'like this...although this green is deffo speaking to me...and I wanna flex that Glamour voucher badly) and, of course, the Acne Canada (yum yum, come to mama). So, back to Zara/reality. This jumper is literally the best thing ever. I'd love to be dropping 45 quid on all their various knits, but this little beaut suits me just fine at 20 of yer English. Job done, stick a fork in me. In retrospect, a skinny jean may have worked better here, but I do love these Girlfriends (even if they make me look like I've been on the pies AKA Lemon Polenta Cake from Melrose & Morgan). Catch you soon dolls xx PS Face. Lolz. Soz.

Blue Monday

Last year I had a little phase with pinstripes and, whaddya know, I'm still feeling 'em this year. I picked up this beaut pair of trews in Zara (where else) a few weeks ago, and I'm super happy I did. (These aren't they, but they're mightily similar. Actually, they could be them. Arrrgghh. Soz, brain-fry). Looking back at these pics now, I think I need a wayyy more oversized jumper with this outfit. Summink...like...this. Any pinstripe thoughts? Hit me up :) xx 

PS Yeah, that is me. Without.Sunnies.On. Thought I'd try it. Majeur apologies about the face. 

PPS That leaf though.

The Wool Pack

These knitted pants are without a doubt the biggest blogger must-have of the season. So hot are they, that they're almost over. But if you were gonna wear something over in auld Social Siberia, then I'd recommend these. Coz you will not need a coat, gloves or a bowl of Ready Brek all winter long in 'em. (Am I making any sense? No? Ok, good). Also, after having shot these pics I now realise why the best thing to wear with these Woolly McPants is the matchy matchy skinny knit that goes with them. Basically, we're talking coverage. Coverage of the bit of camel that resides in the foot area. Otherwise we be seeing all sorts of tingz we don't wanna. (Half of the photos I shot for this look had to be discarded coz it looked like I had two strings coming out my va-jay-jay. Right. Sorry. TMI). I threw on this sweatshirt trying to be all inventive and shit, but it dint really work. And if you're thinking 'She looks like she rolled outta bed in her PJs' I can only agree. Laterz chicks xx

The Overall Outlook

I've wanted some black dungarees for freaking ages, so when I saw these babies in H&M I pounced. I've got *ahem* quite a few Bretons that'll go under 'em nicely, and then when the weather chills down I'll employ a cardi. I can't find my ones on-line (plus ca change), and ASOS have sold out of their nice denimy/cottony ones, but these are priddy cute. Are you feeling dungarees? Lemmie know :) xx PS There's a Magic Mike 2? WHY DID NO-ONE TELL ME? PPS I've lost my Other Stories sunnies. Cry Face x 10. PPS Still, Magic Mike 2 eh?

Alt-E

Topic Du Jour: Emmanuelle Alt. Basically, if you don't love her we can't be friends. She keeps it real. She keeps it French. She keeps it, perf, essentially. (Although doubtless, like I, you'll have been more than slightly perturbed by her Vogue interview recently where she claimed vociferously that she isn't a feminist. I put this down to her Gallicness, but I'm prepared to forgive and forget and get back to her sick clothes. Bet she's well relieved).

So, this outfit kinda came together inna random way, with images of Manu from Fashion Month whirling round my tiny mind. Couple of problems though straight off the bat: 1) I bought this coaty-jackety thing from H&M and left it in the carrier bag. Hence why it's crunkled beyond all comprehension. Major Soz. and 2) Somehow, I've ended up looking like Jim Carey in 'The Mask'. Soz for that too. Oh, and 3) I was gonna put on a much nicer pair of heels with this outfit (namely: Topshop Slingbacks) but I dint wanna ruin them so the cheapies came out to play instead. Now all that's out the way I can give props to my new fedora, and hope in some teeny tiny way I have channelled a bit of Em-A's dressed-down tomboy chic. Au Reservoir pour now, and furthermore, mange toute Rodney xx
