Aaaah my second home of Topshop and all the things I am lusting after this week! Roll on payday. I'm suddenly wanting to wear everything of colour, all together even. The velvet boots look gorgeous and not really something I'd usually go for but am now seeing them with little ankle socks and the dress above or the green jeans, oversized tee and a fedora. 

The earrings are a bit more severe but I just like the way the backs are different and part of the shape and the tapered trousers are like the ones on the front of H&M catalogue, here, but I like the shade, particularly against the tan belt. Mmmm...what to get first?!

Cobbles...and crop tops

Cropped top: Primark   High waisted trousers: Primark   Plimsolls: Primark   Purse: H&M   Sunglasses: H&M   Beaded bracelet: H&M

The great thing about living near Didsbury, finding some little gems like this lovely little lane with the cobbles and beautiful little cottages, (how many times can I get 'little' in a sentence?!) there are also some HUGE places around the same area but they are just depressing to look at! 

On the trousers I like the four buttons down the front and the pleat detail just below the waist band. They could be worn with some platform wedges and a sheer shirt to dress up a bit but I like wearing them slouchy over scuffed up plimsolls, just need to make sure the top is a bit tighter/tucked in so not an excess of volume going on. 

H&M...Autumn 2011

H&M: Autumn Season 2011 Catalogue

Got the new season H&M catalogue this week. As on the cover I like the smart knitted jumpers and tailored trousers, many in the colours, seen above. Am liking the mustard and navy shades together, even if in small details like the belts. Also from the catalogue there were some lovely bags, some great shapes and sizes for various occasions. Check out the rest of the photos, here, on my Facebook page.

City walls...buttoned shirts

Denim shirt: Primark   Skirt: River Island   Vest top: H&M   Shoes: Primark   Bag: House of Holland for Debenhams   Belt: Primark   Watch: Urban Outfitters   Sunglasses: H&M

Had a lovely day out in Chester the other day, very relaxed and spent the time walking round the walls and having ice creams by the river. Behaving like a proper tourist! Check out more photos on my Facebook page, here.

Denim shirts are incredibly versatile and probably not worn enough, this one is quite relaxed with the rolled up sleeves and lighter shade. I would like to get a smarter one that can wear with chinos and heels, like this one, here, at Topshop or, here, at New Look.
