Lyell a/w 09

I really like Lyell's a/w 09 lookbook, it's just simple, elegant and autumn! Don't you just hate it when the most beautiful look by a designer, is unpractical for the season? Where are the thick scarfs, socks and gloves that we all have to wear. I think tweed will always be in, for every winter season; the tweed shorts, above, look cool. The last image is from a previous a/w lookbook and I paired alongside it a beautiful bag, which comes in beige and blue, and oxford style shoes from J.Crew.

I haven't really felt in the blog posting mood lately, mostly because of feeling uninspired but Pascal Grob has given me the inspirational feeling I needed. I really like his photography and style, which should be obvious to my regular followers. Hedi Slimane and Scott Schuman are two other photographers who can do no wrong in my books. I've always wanted a floppy hat, but I don't think I could pull it off, but it's great to see other people work it.

I'm a huge fan of silk, especially when used to soften an edgy look. Most of the above the items can be found on Net-a-porter, and I used the above image of Mary-kate as inspiration for this post.

I recently stumbled across blogger; The cherry blossom girl who appears to be at the top of the blogging sphere with over a hundred comments per entry, but it isn't surprising after viewing all the beautiful photography both fashion and others concerning her life on her blog. The images I've chosen, having something I want. I was surprised to find she owned a shop entitled The Urban Collection which are where some of her vintage clothing items are from. I'm off to dip my head back into books, that seem to have no end!

Fairy tales

I'm still on the hunt for those wide legged wool trousers, but in the mean while, I've currently drifted my mind off to my insufficient number of skirts. I've never really been a skirt wearing person, but recently, well a few years back I started to embrace the wonders and opportunities of wearing skirts. Ironically, one of my closest friends only wore skirts, anyway back to what I was saying, in the quest for finding a skirt to go with everything I was beginning to think no such skirt existed; and proof was of the fact my friend had so many skirts to compliment different looks. However, luckily enough I spotted this amazing wool-like skirt from Bona Drag, which looks a bit too short for my liking, but I love the simplicity and elegance of it! Now, where to find it on the high street. I also really like the dress worn in the first two images, for the same reasons I like the skirt, if only they could defy logic and reason, and end up in front of my door step.

Inspiration Board

I can already feel myself getting a cold as I type, I've been quite reluctant to slip into the heavy winter gear but I'm being to embrace it, the more regular I keep cold, hence the inspiration board. This board comprises of wool garments, cotton/wool tights, comfy scarfs and jumpers, big bags and preferably wool trousers of course, jeans do nothing in the winter. Me and my friend have been in search for the perfect loose fitted wool trousers, and no luck yet. :/

Everyone has a certain colour they revert to for certain seasons, for me, winter is normally a grey season, but I've branched out and I'm currently drawn to burgundy items. I've never really been one for, busy patterned garments but those trousers in the second top image are amazing; they look really comfortable and she makes them look stylish.
