It's official, Autumn is upon us. The slew of bloggers suddenly posting amongst fiery red trees and a sea of crackling leaves proves it. But can you really blame us? The trees at this time of the year just look stunning on camera and the palette only enhance whatever colours you happen to be wearing at the time. In this instance though I will admit I have colour coordinated, having enough time to think about coordinating colours of outfits with locations is the sad and lonely truth of my existence.  The last two days have been pure bliss, I've had two days off work and have spent them waking up late, lounging around in the morning with bed hair and coffee and then filling the afternoons with outfit shoots and blogging. The cherry on top of this wondrous cake will be a surprise appearance at an old friends 21st birthday tomorrow, I haven't seen her for close to two years so it will be amazing to not only surprise her on her birthday but just to see her full stop. My excitement may also have something to do with the fact that it's a masquerade and I got to spend the entire afternoon making a selection of masks to wear, I promise there will be photos of the chosen one.
I think every girl has that one piece in her wardrobe that she really, really loves but can never find anything to wear with, for me it was this skirt. It's such a beautiful midi skirt with tiny knife pleats and I've been dying to wear it out but every time I tried it on something just looked wrong. The other day when I found this Liz Jordan coat at an op shop I knew it would go perfectly, combined with a collared blouse underneath it's just the right balance between Coco and Karl. The shape and the classic tweed gives it a vintage edge, but the electric blue keeps it modern and fresh. A perfect marriage between the old and the new...

  1. yes it does look stunning. Sometimes if I stand still and take a look at the surrounding nature, some things can be breathtakingly beautiful. Love those shoes Laura ;)
