1.) Lilac Louis Vuitton leopard print scarf: oh god I want this scarf so much, but at £420.00 I think it's just a tad beyond my reach. Trinny Woodall chose to showcase hers when testing out elderley scouters in Leeds, as part of itv's 'Seven days on the breadline', perhaps not an instance in which this scarf would be fully appreciated Trin love?
2.) 'The Sartorialist' by Scott Schuman: this is definitely on my Xmas list, I love receiving style tomes as presents, will certainly provide a bit of much needed style-spiration (see what I did there!) I apologise, I have been revising public affairs all day and talk of these wonderful items is proving a little too much for me.
3.) Lilac Barry m nail varnish: to add to my ever-growing collection- brilliant stocking filler.
4.) Vogue's The Fashion Night Out t-shirt: three words. I. Love. It. Sadly I think as they were limited edition they are nowhere to be found. Sob.
5.) The yet to be released Alexa bag by Mulberry. So slouchy, so understated, so Mulberry.

November...
So it's seems to be November already, how did that happen?
Vogue dropped into my postbox almost two weeks ago and I have only managed to read approximately two articles, gosh I must have been busy, that. never. happens. My wardrobe is also suffering. I just haven't been shopping. Again very unusual. Instead I have been delving into my wardrobe to make do (god I hate that phrase) with what I already have.
So the gems of my wardrobe include: my cream fur coat which I got from Topshop last winter. It made it's first appearance of the year on bonfire night and attracted a fair few compliments. Thanks to our balmy October it just hasn't been cold enough to wear until now, but now I am once again enjoying its cosiness.
My fringed leather jacket also purchased from...yes that's right Topshop, which I have worn non-stop since I bought it last year. It is just so useful, throw it over leggings, a vest and a natty scarf and job done, or rather outfit done. It also does a great job of toughening up a floral tea dress.
So that's jackets/coats dealt with. Now what to wear underneath? This is where I've been having problems. I really only wear one pair of jeans at the moment, a faded green pair from Zara, which I still love but have more of a spring vibe. I only own about five pairs of jeans all of which either don't fit or I hate with a passion. It is time to admit defeat and go jeans shopping, not a pleasant experience I think you will all agree. Unless that is you are built like a 16 year-old beanpole, in which case I am justified in despising you. My hips seem to have come from another person entirely as they bear no relation to my upper body, which as you can imagine makes jeans-hunting something of a military exercise. So when will I be brave enough to tackle it? Oh maybe next week, it's simply too painful....In the meantime I'll stick to my fail safe looks, a favourite being my floral tea dress, black leggings, biker boots, copious amounts of gold jewelry and of course the fringed leather jacket.
