In My Bag


I was so excited to do a little new season shopping last week. I prefer autumn clothes as I love the tones and textures. I managed to get a few basics to add to my wardrobe along with some new things for my home.

Skirt £59 COS

This navy skirt is in a thick cotton with front pleats and deep side pockets that create an interesting silhouette. I will be wearing mine now with a grey t-shirt or breton stripes and Birkenstocks and with tights, brogues and an oversized knit when the weather gets colder.

Shirt £34.95 Gap
Grey and navy and stripes! All my favourite things at once! I'll wear this shirt with some ripped up boyfriend jeans or tucked in a pair of tailored trousers, accessorized with a statement necklace.

Skirt £59.99 Mango

 I've been searching for a leather mini skirt for AGES and finally came across this ideal one in Mango. It's in buttery soft leather, short but not so short that I can't wear it with a chunky jumper during the day and it's very good value for money. I'm so happy with this purchase!


Plate £14 Holly Frean at Anthropologie

How cute are these plates? I like collecting individual crockery, I think it makes a dinner party or a solitary dinner more fun and these limited edition ones by Holly Frean from Anthropologie fit the bill. There are more designs to collect so I may have to pop back to store to add to my collection.

Tray £9.99 H&M Home

This bargain gold tray is from H&M's home department. If you haven't visited yet, you NEED to. Filled with inexpensive, but well designed trinkets for the home I always end up buying something, be it a cushion cover or a candle holder. I originally purchased this tray to display my coffee table bits and bobs, but after dressing it with pillar candles it now sits proudly on my dinner table.
