Summer’s over and the temperature has dropped
considerably. The leaves might not have fallen or properly changed colour but
Autumn (or Winter, judging by today) is truly here. Time to put away the
sandals and look forward to cosying up in snuggly coats, boots, gloves,
scarves, and embracing winter hues either sartorially or though make up.
My
take on the season is leather (biker jacket and full skirt), leopard print
(pouch clutch), a touch of tartan (a top), the colour pink (coat or
accessories), pencil skirts (camo or pleather), held together by a great pair
of ankle boots (check out Whistles or Zara) and styled with a ponytail (move
over blowdries, style up your pony and get inspired by Matches’ great guide)
Getting a dark, berry hued manicure signifies the proper
beginning of Autumn for me, and last weekend, right on cue I went for a much
loved classic; Essie’s Wicked shade. I’ve also felt the chill in the air,
so have been snuggling into a huge grey woolly scarf and slicking on a dark
berry shade of lip balm. Which shade to go for next is the big question!

Alfresco drinks on rooftops are a distant memory, as
Saturday nights now involve curling up on the sofa with a fluffy throw and
season three of Homeland for company. All summer dresses have been swapped out
for chic knits, trousers, skirts, coats and essential ingredient: packs and
packs of pristine black opaque tights. I’ve edited my wardrobe and filled
two bags ready for the charity shop, which leaves the opportunity for some
retail therapy for some autumn essentials come pay day!
