Walk Walk Fashion Baby...

Hi friends,

Am positively delighted that my new Blog app is working!

As promised, here are some photos of my A/W purchases so far...I'm going through a naze (a navy craze). A mix of high street and vintage keeps things interesting IMO, and I am TOTALLY embracing the fact that it's Autumn.

Firstly, a vintage dress bought at Judy's Affordable Vintage Fair this weekend: £15



Next, a hand-made turban from the same fair £12. If anyone sees me wearing it out, please stop and congratulate me, I will be donning a turban, in Scotland. I know, I know, I'm super...






A few Primark purchases next, my two favourites being this patent bag at £8 and curtain print kimono sleeve dress at £13. My naze is in full swing here as you can see:







I am pretty much in love with these right now as they match my camel trench coat quite fantastically. Along with my camel brogues and chain print scarf, I've been wandering around like a model for H&M at the moment, which is actually quite nice :)

I did buy a black lace maxi skirt and am not exactly sure how I am going to work it without looking like I've gone down the Mortitia Adams route, or that I've dyed my granny's old net curtains in the spirit of "shabby chic"...suggestions on a postcard please.

With my nice new purchases hanging proudly in my many wardrobes, I unfortunately will not have the time this week to enjoy them. Workworkwork then some wedding-related activities, followed by a 6am rise on Sunday (yes, that's right, not a typo, SUNDAY) to attend the Zumba training course in Edinburger. I will be in the fine company of fellow Cupcake Julieann, so funtimes are ahead:)

In other news, i secured some faboosh seats for Derren Brown's new show Svengali (oooooohhhh) at the Playhouse in April. Containing my excitement is getting harder by the day!!! If you don't already, please follow @DerrenBrown on Twitter...don't follow him in real life though. I've told you before, it's weird so stop it.

Now that i can blog from my iPhone, will do my best to keep it updated with plenty of goodies.

As you were,

Autumn?Winter Fashion- Primark does it again...

Hi friends,

Whoa, what a blustery day! I am official embracing our Autumnal weather and ditching all things remotely summery ATM. Wearing the life out of my low-hell brogues, my man-shirt from H&M and my military jacket (as well as my camel coat) but am looking for a few more winter staples. And just as I was left wanting, Primark comes in and saves the day once more...

Check out these pics from the Priamrk A/W Look book...here are some of my favourites:

Leopard Print Playsuit £13 Avaitor Jacket £23...loving the furry bag espesh.

Two fabulous coats- Camel Cashmere Coat £45, Cape £25 (I'm a sucker for outerwear)

I also need stuff to wear UNDER these faboosh pieces, so will be on the hunt (probably tomorrow0 for some nice fine knit jumpers in various shades of grey, camel, green and blue. Excited!

That's one of the things I miss about working in fashion retail. By the time I was leaving I had been there for years and knew the shop inside out. Whenever we got our new season stock in it meant I got to window dress and to experiement with different looks of the season. We always got a sneak peak and stock before it went onto the shop floor (and we usually got to put things aside so we got first pick!). Don't miss all the screaming bairns and the mess though...

I shall report back when I have my loot!

Your brogue-wearing friend...as you were,

PS- I feel a haircut is in order also, what is this weather doing to my brains!
