Dark winter mornings have been rolling in good and fast, and although it's not something that I'm entirely happy about, I have been glad of the coat worthy weather that came with. 

I was becoming bored with the coats I already had in rotation and craved something full length and androgynous, when I recalled this H&M beauty that I clocked eyes on when it was released last year. I added it to my shopping cart and mmm'd and ahhh'd over it for the following weeks. Subsequently missing out and kicking myself for my lack of spontaneity. So I did what I often do in this situation . . .  trolled eBay, hoping it would make an appearance in my size, which it eventually did. And this time (without hesitation) I completed the purchase. 

It's super cosy and swooshes when I walk . . . batman appeal is an obvious bonus.

I've found myself drawn to anything pleated lately. 

Flowy pleated skirts (midi, maxi or bum skimming minis) with oversized knits will be my A/W uniform. However, I'm a little unsure how I'll achieve this without seeming repetitive . . . that said, a band tee and a biker jacket might work equally well.

What will you be wearing this season?

Hi guys!! It's kind of a biggie that I'm actually able to post this week! With all the stress of preparing for my trip to Australia, I realised (only too late) that I left my laptop on the coffee table . . . in Ireland!! Thankfully, I managed to get my hands on another one, but not before an almost stroke and some tears . . . Yes I cried! And I'm not afraid to admit it, I was tired and vulnerable. I may have been PMSing too, but that's beyond the point.

Anywhooo, if you haven't already seen these trousers somewhere, then you must've had a very bad case of the anti-socials and been hibernating under a very large rock with a very bad wifi connection. Because for the past two years these AA disco pants have been worn by almost every blogger and duped by almost every high street store there is. And as much as I like to go against the grain, these beauties were just to shiny to resist!

Hope ya like! Laura x x x

P.s Oz makes for a great backdrop, right!?

NEW KICKS

Trainers: Nike air 90 Gs

I'm currently sat in my room surrounded by mountains of clothes, trying to decide what to pack for my three week trip to Australia. I'm off on Monday evening and still have soooo much to do! Perpetually leaving things til the last minute is what I do best . . . *she says with great annoyance.

Anyway, on to the trainers . . . I had been on the hunt for a pair of all white Nike air's for a good six months (minimum!), but they had been constantly sold out and no other trainer measured up to how fly these babies are. But just as hope was dwindling . . . BAM!! Office stocks up, and after a (very intense) 72 hour wait I had these beauties on ma feet!

I'm a wee bit happy about it . . . can you tell!?
