Legends Of The Fall


Loving this belated, lasting summer but it does seem like too much of a good thing: I’m pretty sure these warm sunny days are going to bail on us soon enough without any warning: its hotpants and crop-top today, boots and mittens tomorrow.
So, for precaution purposes only, of course!, I’m already stocking up for my A/W wardrobe.
The one thing I love about autumn is that you can keep wearing summer clothes and throw on a chunky knit, coat or scarf and – despite wearing little more than a bikini – you still look sane. It doesn’t work the same way in spring, it’s the opposite then: you keep wearing winter clothes (mainly because around April our skin’s paler than an albino zombie) but then just carry the heavy coat on your arm and sweat the hell out of your Uggs.
Anyhow, this is the perfect autumn look I’m talking about: cut-offs and bare legs with a bulky sweater and army boots. And, of course, the Chanel purse for that girly touch. Love it: nothing matches but everything goes. This is the real deal.


Love me some Mary Janes! They’re so juvenile I feel like playing hopscotch and skipping to work. Plus, they’ve usually got a solid, stable heel which allows all that hopping and skipping. These are the cheap(ish) ASOS version inspired by the Chanel classic…



... and these are the actual Chanel on Caroline Sieber's feet. L-O-V-E!


Finally, every girl needs her Little Red Riding Hood duffle coat. This is Urban Outfitters’: love the A-line seaming.
