It’s November: think beautiful colours in the trees; think
chilly mornings and gorgeous sunrises; think curling up with a mug of hot
chocolate; and most of all think of those gorgeous layers and accessories you
can pull back out of hiding.
I have finally invested
in a long cream chunky knit cardigan, with elbow patches, from Zara. It’s great
for laying and I love wearing it over dresses, to make a previously summery
look, a bit more suitably autumnal.
I also eventually decided on the pair of boots I wanted and
purchased them recently from Clarks (find them
here). Clarks ’ shoes always have reasonably
hefty price tags, but failing to find what I wanted anywhere else, I tried
these on in the shop and they are the
comfiest boots I have ever worn. Seriously. I should listen to mum more: it
really is worth paying more for quality. While I was on a roll, I also got this bag which matches, and I have had a lot of compliments on it. I have to admit,
with the price tags I was unsure about keeping both after having bought them
(I’ve become obsessive about spending even a penny of my money) but am so glad
I have kept them- I can tell they will be season staples.
At this point, I should probably confess that I have an
extreme obsession for accessories this season. I don’t know where it’s come
from, but anything from adorable cloche hats and snoods, to structured totes
and statement necklaces, prompts little heart signs to form in my eyes. I
really do need a job! This is going to be an expensive year!
Here’s some of the things I’m obsessed with at the moment and have treated myself to in the last few months...
- Pretty earrings: these were actually my prom earrings bought from a small independent boutique.
- Statement necklaces: to glam up any outfit! I like wearing them over jumpers or plain long sleeved tops.

- Anything fluffy!!! I obsessed over this combination for so long, I was particularly drawn to the warm fleece lining of the snood. So glad I finally invested though as the snood has certainly served me well already. The prices noted here are RRPs. I don't think I actually paid full price for any of it, which makes all these treats that little bit sweeter.
