Autumn is here

A gorgeous Sunday spent with my fella, it started with an extra hour in bed as the clocks went back, always a good day, an hour to enjoy some pancakes with honey and white chocolate made by Ben, pancakes are one thing I categorically cannot make.

Less than a week til we get the keys to our home and 15% off at Homebase meant a trip there, got some paint samples and a few necessities we have also browsed tiles for our kitchen and bathroom, it's amazing how enjoyable these home stores can be when you actually need things.

It has been super windy and didn't want to look too dressy in DIY shops so I ended up dressing like Kevin McCallister, the 8 year old boy from Home Alone.

 

I love winter clothes and like to be toasty, this is one of my more casual looks.

Jeans -vintage Levis, available in any vintage store or the renewal section of Urban Outfitters, I got these from there last March and surprisingly I have worn them loads

Jumper -Topshop

Bag -Zara sale at Christmas, check eBay, I believe Zara do some of the best bags on the highstreet they always look high end and similar to Alexander Wang styles

Scarf -stolen from my boyfriend, tartan is everywhere on the highstreet

Shoes -Office, again last years

 "keep the change, ya filthy animal!"

Autumn and the lead up to Christmas is one of my favourite times of year, Halloween is approaching and we have had fun carving a pumpkin this afternoon.

We have gone for a sugar skull type design with a love heart, we drew it on, it was a bit of a ball ache scooping all the inside out, but Ben did most of that! I used a screwdriver to make the small holes.  Pumpkin carving is definitely harder than it looks.

Bonfire night is also coming which means one of my favourite foods are back in the shop for a limited period -toffee apples, you are never too old for this snack, and it contains apple so can't be too bad for you, can it!?

Peace, love and happy halloween

Sophs
