Grey Lux

I love grey, it is one of my favourite colours to wear and it always looks so elegant without really having to try. Great for a daytime look. It also means that you can add a more garish accessory without it looking too brash, below I went with the Victoria Beckham yellow tote. Pricey but amazing so I couldn't resist.

These R13 distressed jeans are perfect to ensure that the outfit doesn't look too put together, and I am really loving River Island's knitwear collection this season so far this chunky knit is amazing and they have some super great coordinating knitwear which I will be purchasing!!

If you read my blog regularly you will know that I am not a girl to shy away from colour, and when I saw this Christopher Kane dress I feel in love! It is perfect for everything, I have styled it up here with barely there heels and an amazing bomber jacket, however it could just as easily be styled down with an oversized sweatshirt and some pumps.

Part of my fall focus is to try to buy items that are versatile, and with my imminent move to London, a reduced wardrobe is a must!!

So I am starting to accept that summer is over, and it is about time that I started to embrace the Autumn accessories. That for me means boots and hats. Knowing that I will now be living in them for the next six months, these ones from ASOS are a must. They are great for everyday wear and the heel is the perfect size.

I have teamed them with this Lulu & Co dress and the holographic iPad case the perfect look for work as Autumn starts to take a hold.

This girl loves glasses.

I really love glasses. I own quite a few pairs that I wear on a regular basis for no other reason than I love they way they change-up my look. These glasses are a dream pair and I think they work really well with this outfit. This shorts and knit combination is a great work to weekend city look, now all I need to do is embrace the weekend!

Who's that boy/girl?

For those of you who regularly read my blog you will know I am a fan of a masculine look with a girly edge, and today's post does not buck that trend. I am really impressed with Mango's masculine edge this season and these platform moccasins are an amazing! Paired with their oversized Prince of Wales coat, my go to skinny jeans and the perfect wardrobe staple shirt from Miss Selfridge it creates a great masculine look.

Adding the bright pink Matthew Williamson knit and the bejewelled headband gives the look a girly edge. Perfect for the new season ahead.

All the goodies

I made some recent purchases that I thought I would share with you.

The candle is from a company called Flamingo Candles and they make the yummiest smelling candles and melts ever, and this is from a girl who buys an awful lot of candles! I bought the candle in pink lemonade which has been burning constantly in my office, and it smells as good as it looks. I also picked up a thai lime and mango scent melt and before I even opened the box the smell was intoxicating, it is gorgeous and the candle version will be purchased soon I think!

My second purchase has been the Gwyneth Paltrow It's All Good cook book, and I have to say the recipes look amazing. Having been at a festival all weekend I am all for healthy yummy food so I will be attempting to make her two-pan chicken this week ... I am just hoping mine turns out how it looks in the photo!

Workin' 9-5

Or as it happens until 4pm today. I think it is really important to own key staples within your wardrobe that work perfectly day to night. These heels from Office are amazing, I saw them at the weekend when out with a friend and we both immediately spotted them declaring we had to have them. They come in 4 colours (I was all about the burgundy patent version, my friend the black leather ones shown below) and I think they are a great staple heel for everyday wear.

I never like to keep things too simple though, and this jacket from River Island is a great way to make your basic day-to-day outfits still stand out. I really love it and think it is something that is not so stand out it can't be worn everyday ... perfect.

Off duty

I like to make sure that I am comfy on my days off and Acne is a label that does off duty really well. The simplicity of this denim shirt has put it straight to the top of my lust list. Teamed with the jumper and the mom jeans which I would wear rolled up, showing off my ankle socks, this look is perfect for running errands on a busy weekend. I also love to mix my denim up, and never shy away from double denim. Finally the Burberry bag tops off the look, and if that is a little out of your price range (I am sure that applies to most of us) the ASOS rucksack I featured on an earlier post would be a great substitute. Check it out here.

Maxi layers!

This Warehouse maxi skirt is going to be in my wardrobe this weekend! It is a really good print and currently in the sale so a great price point. I have styled it for a day time look and I never really like to look too girly, so these ASOS chunky boots and Maje knit give it a slightly grungy edge.  This is my perfect day time weekend outfit.

As soon as I saw this Topshop skirt I knew it was going to be on my Autumn hit list, it is amazing! I love the bright pop of colour and it just works so well with the rest of the monochrome look.

I love, love, love this midi skirt from Topshop, and the split makes it bang on trend. Midi skirts are going to play a big role in my autumn wardrobe styled with knitwear and killer heels as below. I never like to be too girly so a chunky boyfriend watch is the perfect accessory.

This girl loves shoes.

I always look at people's shoes, it is a habit. I feel that shoes complete an outfit and like most girls you can never have enough.

Metallics are always a firm favourite of mine and the silver Topshop ones will be making my wish list this month (and the YSL ones are on my major wish wish wish list hehe)

I really like good everyday shoes that work with everything, and black is my go to colour. The Kurt Geiger hi-tops are amazing, definite Sunday sneakers, and once again Topshop hasn't failed to provide me with some good chunky, masculine flat for the new season.

Finally bejewelled flats are something I really like, and the Dolce and Gabbana pair below are ideal for work. However the Charlotte Olympia star sign flats are top of my list! I am also lucky that the Capricorn ones are the perfect colour for the autumn ... it may be time to raid my savings!
