I'm still trying to hold tight and wait a few more weeks before making any A/W purchases but a couple of pieces have caught my eye.......first up is this gorgeous Topshop military jacket/shacket!
I bought something similar from Toppers a few years back and it's still going strong (last seen recently here thanks to the dire weather) but I think this one is a bit more up-to-date and it's more fitted than my current jacket, see below. You can still find similar on eBay here, here and here (not mine I hasten to add, not sure I can part with it!)
I didn't dabble with dungarees but I think I could be quite partial to a pinafore (I bought a Topshop one a while back see here)! I am completely stealing the The Frugality's style after spotting this Dorothy Perkins one on Alex's blog the other day. I can't get it out of my mind! It's sold out online already but the next shopping opportunity I get (DD is back to school on Wednesday) I am going to scour the stores in hope I can track this down.

I do love my trainers and after acquiring my new Converse I started to look around to see what other styles would work with my A/W uniform and these Adidas Gazelle's look like they will fit the bill, especially with the monochrome pieces I've purchased so far!
Hands up this next item is already safely stashed in the wardrobe and really doesn't need to any justification as it's a trusty Breton and a girl can never have too many of those! Believe or not I didn't have a decent one in this colourway.
This little ensemble I think would make for a perfect transitional outfit! I'll keep you *posted* as to whether or not these pieces make their way into my wardrobe as apart from the Breton they are just on my wish list for now!
What's been going on wardrobe wise this week?! I am finding this gawd awful weather truly hard to dress for....torn between still trying to get some wear out of the summer stuff or diving head-long into A/W buys?

Last word....I don't normally talk beauty but I recently picked up this lovely Revlon matte lip balm and I love it so I thought I would share. I bought the shade called Elusive which is perfect is a soft pinky shade, perfect for now when I start to put away my coral colours for next Summer. It goes on really well, has a subtle mint flavour and the staying power has been excellent for a balm. They are on 2 for 1 on Revlon products at Boots at the moment too! For my money these are a lot better than Clinique chubby sticks! Anyhow, if you would like to see what other products I use I've added a Pinterest board here.
