chasing away the january (baby) blues...

bleurgh! this weather is officially ruining my life! i am sick of wearing my dumb, heavy coat everyday. i am sick of wearing two pairs of tights to stave off the chill. sick of the rain, the grey clouds and the puddles of water that stop me from wearing cute shoes to and from the office. sick of it all!

i am however eternally grateful to the great british high street, for - as always, making me feel happy on the inside with all the unseasonable pastels adorning their shelves. it's never too early in my book, but it takes a wee while for the rest of you to catch up three quarters of the year round...gimme those pink and mint and lilac pieces any old day


the dress be stills my heart, but that's nothing new. those vintage darlings over at bonne chance sure do know how to make a pretty frock, don't they? the coat is perfect for now, because it's warm and pretty! gimme, gimme now. all of my hats are worn through because of all of the travelling that i do and so this pretty pastel bobble hat from equestrian clearance is the perfect replacement; it's cute and practical. winning!

i've not been drawn into the a/w trend that was the tartan everything, but i may, however, make a transeasonal exception for that clueless-esque plaid skirt. like, totally! paired with some wool tights and silver shoes, i'd be the perfect 90s valley girl.

are you enjoying the influx of pastel pieces, or are you a fiend for a winter woolly?

  1. Oh, pastels! I love the shade of those tights, and before I even read the post I was drawn to that skirt, with my brain shouting "CLUELESS!". Everything about this wish list is perfect!

    P.S - Don't lament winter too harshly - little, old Australia is practically melting right now xx

  3. Oooh...this whole thing is bliss!! I love Bonne Chance's dresses, they are perfection. So many beautiful things, I've been gathering up sweetly coloured items like these for spring too, I can't wait. I'm already painting my nails in sugary colours to break out of the grey depressing state this weather is creating. We can have spring inside until it comes outside doll Xxx

  6. errrr £7 shoes HELLO! Love the skirt. Love the bag. Love the tights. Love pastels BUT won't be braving them until Slimming World has done it's job (or at least started to.) I don't intend to look like a pistachio ice cream with an extra scoop. Sticking with the slimming black and navy until I'm trimmer and slimmer
