A/W 14 Outfit Inspiration

jumper: Topshop / skirt: Whistles / shoes: Chinese Laundry / bag: Chloé / watch: Olivia Burton  / necklace: Fendi

With each passing day here in London, the clouds get darker and the sun appears less. Personally, I prefer Spring/Summer - what there is of it anyway - because I don't have to think about being too cold.

Autumn/Winter however is fast approaching and as much as it makes me feel better, my moaning will not stop that. My issue is mostly that I am never able to find any clothes that I find a) suitable or b) WARM.


This time around however, there seems to be more fluffy coats and knitted garments than ever before and with the midi skirt trend, I may be in with a chance this year!

So, after spending considerably less time this year looking online for some inspiration I threw together a Polyvore outfit using items that have been redesigned for A/W.

Enjoy!

Winchester

It is now less than a month until I move into my house with my university housemates in Winchester and I could not be more ready or excited!
 
With everything happening in my personal life, this really hasn't come at a more perfect time!
 
The town itself is full of beautiful achitechture and unbeknown to me (until 30 seconds ago when I researched it!) Winchester Cathedral was built in 1079 and let me tell you, it is a sight to behold. I visited the Winchester Christmas Market back in December and just happened to stroll in. By the time I came out, my adventure apetite was full and I was dizzy with the beauty of it!

So after the excitement (and realisation) bit me on the bum that move in day was fast approaching my Mum and I went into overdrive looking at bed spreads, mirrors and furniture.
 
And social media only encourages my ideas! Pinterest has become my go-to best friend for stunning attic room (YES I HAVE AN ATTIC ROOM!!!!) inspiration and my new House board is the cosiest I've seen yet!.
 

 
And I do plan to go OTT with fairy lights, blankets and cushions!
 

Do you reccommend any other sites I can use for inspiration?
