Falling For Autumn



I love autumn; the crunching of leaves, the colours and especially the clothes. Layers, jumpers and warm scarfs are my favourite way to dress. Also there is the anticipation for Halloween, bonfire night and Christmas. This year it seems to have snuck up on me and my mind is stuck in late summer. This isn’t helped by the mild weather and I constantly find myself surprised about how late in the season it is. 







I had also been messing around with the IOS and shutter speed settings so both manual and auto was unusable so I had it on an automatic setting which seemed to pick up the colours well. The only problem is I can’t seem to get it back to normal.



I'm wearing
Jumper from Gap I got last year
Tartan skirt from Abercrombie & Fitch I got for £4.50 on ebay because I liked the print
Fox bag that is all over ebay
Brogues from Primark they’re usually £10 but I got them in the sale for £6
Tights from Primark which cost £3 for a pack of 3. Tights rip too quickly to bother buying a good quality pair and they usually are too short on me.

 I'm listening to: 
If you have any tips or comments, feel free to leave them at the bottom because I’m still learning and would appreciate the help!

Raccoons and Ringlets

After we went swimming the other day, I just let my hair dry naturally. This produced what has been dubbed as my “triangle hair”. My hair usually curls tighter when I leave it, but I’ve been straightening it a lot more often and it seems to have melted my hair or something because the last couple of times it was just straight frizz. The lighting is terrible in all these pictures so if I look a little red that’s why. The jumper I'm wearing is from the men’s section. I find that guy’s jumpers are a lot warmer and the neck-line is so high, you don’t need a scarf. In Primark specifically, the men’s jumpers seem to be less itchy and wash a lot better as they don’t shrink as badly. The styles are usually very similar to the woman’s and they seem to be in more muted colours which is something I particularly like.      I'm wearing: Jumper from Primark (they are  usually  £6 but I managed to get mine at the start of summer for £3.)

Writers block

So I haven’t posted in the last couple of weeks. I had everything ready for posting back however many Thursdays ago it was that I was supposed to post this except for the text. I had no idea what to write for it. I am the first to admit that I'm not very good at writing for this anyway. I’ve never been very good with non-fiction writing. It doesn’t come very easily to me and nothing interesting enough to write about ever happens to me. But ever since people I know in real life started reading this, I feel as though I should be better at this; and my technique for things I don’t think I'm very good at yet, put them off until last minute. One thing with not blogging as frequently as I promised is that even though I have had my hair short for over a month but I haven’t put any pictures up on here. I really like it; I'm even considering cutting it even shorter. I also want to dye it. I’ve never dyed all my hair a different colour; I had it dip-dyed r

M7974 at Ardoch Roman Fort

Last Autumn, I got a swatch of this lovely Atelier Brunette Viscose Crepe . At the time I was looking for a lining to a jacket (that I’m still working on) but it didn’t quite fit the bill. I absolutely loved the fabric though, so I kept the swatch. I had put off getting more to make a full garment because I didn’t trust myself to make something nice enough from it. At the time, I probably only sewed once a week for about 3 hours and the things I made were full of mistakes and dumb fabric choices. I’m going to stick some of these up on my blog at some point but even though I was proud of the fact I could make then, I didn’t really enjoy wearing the clothes enough to justify investing in nice fabric. Another issue was that I couldn’t decide on what to make from the fabric. I was jumping between a blouse or a wrap dress but none of my ideas felt perfect. I really liked the M7974 but I had it in my head that I only wanted to make view C in a light weight linen like fabric and
