Summer Vibes and ice cream colours

Yesterday was probably the last sunny day of the year and I ended up on the south bank drinking beer and watching the sun go down. I've been more into autumnal clothes recently, but as a last nod to the dying summer, I got out some ice cream colours to wear and put on some orange lipstick. The great thing about autumn light as opposed to summer light is that it's so much lower and warmer in colour, so if you combine that with hot weather you get dreamy pictures like these ones of the bridge and the London skyline. I know, it's a really close up picture of my face - it freaks me out a little too.

The Trench Coat

Summer for me has brought about something of a fashion conundrum. There's nothing in the shops, magazines or blogs about anything apart from bikinis, shorts and sandals, but so far our great British summer has seemingly brought nowt but rain, making it difficult to justify wearing such things. So, my thoughts start to turn, inevitably to the next season. I've been looking for a maxi length trench coat for a while now, to very little avail. Ideally I want a black one, but the only one I've found on the high street is this beige version from ASOS. It is, however, on sale, so I might just have to settle. For a dark one, I think I'm going to have to trawl the vintage shops...
