Colour my life with the chaos of trouble.


The trees are burning with anticipation; whisping flames of orange and red ignite along the branches, then slowly fade to brown and flutter down onto the ground... Oh how I love autumn! It's such a fleeting season. The weather's in a constant state of flux, so knowing what to wear everyday is a bit of a challenge, (but I find it ever so slightly exciting ;) It seems to be the season which celebrates the fickle transition between summer and winter. Bright but deceivingly cold one minute, warm but insistently breezy the next. "Make up your mind Mr Sunshine!"



Today I am wearing; my lovely pink American Apparel hoody, Topshop lace tee, Primark tulle skirt, and my Accessorize 'eclectic fairytale' necklace (worn as headband).
I know I'm not the prettiest pea in the pod so I do apologise for swamping you with pictures of myself. I'll admit I'm vain, indecisive and a total perfectionist so I couldn't quite narrow down which image I liked best... which do you prefer?





I love this hoody - it's over sized fit keeps me nice and warm in the chilly weather. I really want to get another one in forest green (perfect autumnal tone) but a lot of people have it so I'm not sure. The reason I went for bright pink (instead of the classic grey or navy) was because everyone seemed to have gone for the muted tones, and with my overwhelming need to be different I decided to go for the brightest colour they had (... they'd run out of 'sunshine yellow' the day I went, which in retrospect I am pretty thankful for... I actually don't think I own a single piece of yellow clothing, oh but pink on the other hand...) tehe.

I change shapes just to hide in this place

Hello dears, hows life? Good, great, awesome, wowww.
I went to the the fair this evening; there's always something I find a little sinister about funfairs, but after going on several rides (which made me so dizzy it felt like my head had been spun to the point of oblivion) I actually started to have fun. It's amazing at night; with the frenzy lights, music blaring from all directions, the manic roaring of strangers as they wrestle their way through the crowds, (not really knowing where they're going of course, but they like you to think that they do).








What I'm Wearing: Baseball jacket - Topshop, Necklace - birthday gift, Shorts - Dorothy Perkins, Tee & Tights - Primark, Boots - New Look... basically head-to-toe high street.

My awesome panda hat is from River Island. A lot of people commented on how well my hat matched my jacket, which to be honest I was pretty thrilled about... I've been listening to a Mike Snow song called 'Animal' (oh how appropriate ;) and when I nod my head from side to side the little bobble ears bobble around, as all good bobble ears do, tehe.

TTFN lovlies! x x x
(p.s. it's 2 minutes after midnight now, despite what the timestamp says... I only just realised it was wrong :S)

My new boots

In my ever-so eager anticipation for autumn, I jumped in on the shearling trend and got these lovely fold-over faux sheepskin ankle boots. They're a size too big but it doesn't bother me in the slightest because they're soo comfy! Problem is I can't wear them outdoors just yet because they need water-proofing :( but for now they'll do for romping about the house.

I truely adore them, so much so I'm thinking of naming them (yep, I name my stuff once it's deemed special enough)... I'm thinking Suzie and Shaun, tehe. Pretty snazzy right?? Oooh snazzy, that's a fun word... snazzy, snazzieee, snazz-eyyyy...
Excuse the randomness but I'm all hyped up on cheesecake and macaroons, mmmm, macaroons.... ok, I'm snazzing out of it!
Eeep, I mean snapping!
...Okay, moving swiftly on - this is my first attempt at making a polyvore! I'm maybe a teensy bit addicted to polyvore now, I'll have to post some others at a later date, but I'm quite happy with this;


I also found this image of Zara's autumn lookbook earlier and wanted to share it with you guys

I wasn't too fond of it at first but they're really growing on me - the chunky knits and knee socks are especially adorable.
I absolutely can't wait for autumn now, and unleashing my autumn wardrobe onto the blogosphere, tehe.

TTFN!

(p.s. you have no idea how hard (and painful) it was taking that photo of my boots whilst they were on my actual feet... Note to self: don't try bending like that again, ever.)
