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 f...

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 ...

A Storm in a Teacup

So the other day I was out shopping with my friend when I saw this dress and got a bit over excited. It was long enough to go past my knees! Being something like 5’10, dresses that are long enough on other people are always too short on me. So many of the dresses I have, I have to wear with leggings or even skinny jeans. So the fact this dress wasn’t just long enough, but went past my knees was a novelty. It’s really pretty too, these pictures don’t show the top of it but it has a 1940’s sort of feel to it. I can’t wait until the weather warms up and I can wear it with my arms out.    The iso is a bit high in some of these pictures as the sun was setting so half of them are a bit grainy. I didn’t realise this at the time and even though I kind of like the effect, it would have been better if they all looked the same. Oh well, I will just have to remember this for next time. I also went a bit mad in Primark and I have filmed a video on what I bought, wh...
