Autumn / Winter Mood

Hello!

This is just a quick little post. I figured that, as Eloise enjoyed doing the Kaya Scodelario style inspiration post so much (here to view) and it got a good response, I thought I'd do something quite similar!

I'd say that Autumn is probably my favorite time of year. I love waking up in the morning when its all frosty outside but sunny at the same time and I'm all wrapped up in my duvet like a cocoon, never wanting to get out.

I also think that Autumn/Winter is the best time of year for fashion. You can just throw on a nice jumper or coat and you don't have to even think about what you put on underneath. MINIMAL EFFORT required. Just how we like it.

So for this post, I've gathered some photos of things that I thought had that typical 'Autumnal' feel to them, including a gingerbread house because I have decided that I want to attempt to make one this Christmas... lol. I AM SO EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS. (I am aware that it is only October but still.)

Hope you enjoy! x

I want that lamb.

Street Art and Cats

Hello!

Last weekend Eloïse and I decided to go on an adventure to Brick Lane, in East London, as it's one of our favourite places. It's one those really trendy and arty places, a bit like Camden (but better) and full of loads of really cool vintage, vinyl and antique shops and markets. You can find some real GEMS in some of the shops.

We did intend to take more photos of Brick Lane itself, but we may have got slightly distracted on our way there...by cats. We probably spent about half an hour taking photos of cats but it's okay because we weren't the only ones lol. There was also a Japanese couple taking lots and lots of photos. Eloïse is particularly proud of her cat photos so we thought we'd include those in this post!

As well as multiple cats, Brick Lane and the area around it has lots of really cool street art. There's some form of street art on almost e v e r y corner, which I think really adds to its atmosphere and uniqueness. It is one FUNKY PLACE and I would definitely recommend a visit if you're in London :)

After all our shenanigans, we went to have an EXTREMELY HEALTHY lunch of chocolate milkshake, cheesy chips and ice tea, at this American style diner called, 'The Diner',...how inventive :') It was such nice food and massive portions too! And also, just take a few seconds to regard the melted cheese on those chips in the picture and tell me you aren't hungry.

We have also included a random photo of the River Thames because we just thought it looked so pretty all lit up at night so why not share! ah, we do <3 London sometimes. 

Hope you like the photos!

Took me AGES to try and get a photo with no one in it. I still failed. 

Dogtooth Blanket Cape/Shawl and Autumn Layering

Hello!

Another outfit post today! I recently bought this rather SUAVE dogtooth blankety cape shawl thing and I've already worn it like 4 times even though I've only had it a week. It's literally so warm. It's also really good because it's reversible so I can go wild and have dogtooth or be my normal self and have it black like everything else I own. And also it was so cheap? Like 11 pounds from Select, NOT BAD.  Also I actually apologise for how bad I look especially my hair omg, I was soooo tired. I wore it with my black velvet crop top from Urban Outfitters, black topshop jeans and my docs, and also these ear cuffs that I recently bought and used to trick my dad into thinking I'd went and got 3 more piercings. 

Ella wore this lovely paisley print top from Asos, a leather jacket also from Asos, with a boyfriend coat from Pull & Bear layered on top for EXTRA WARMTH, Topshop jeans and Asos shoes. Gotta love a bit o' Asos.

We'll be putting up another post this week with some other pictures we took of Brick Lane and various bits and bobs - we were so happy with how they came out.

Hope you like! x
