Handbags and Gladrags!

I always have my eye on handbags, but once I get a new one I will stick with it for a while and rarely swap around the bag I use - I can never be bothered to swap everything across from one to another, and if I have that bag, it's because I like it and want to use it.

But I can't be stopped from eyeing up what's on offer... Even if the ones I like do seem to follow a set trend in size... shape... and colour!

Saddle Up and Heels Down in Riding Boots

I spend most of my time wearing boots. I swap directly between summer and flip flops, to winter and boots. I don't really do in between unless I want to smarten up, and even then manage to get blisters after spending half a year looking to replace my flats which inevitably fall apart and leave me struggling to find a pair that my feet look good in!

Unfortunately, too much boot wearing has killed my boots. I still live in Uggs, both pairs have lasted me for ages, but my other boots aren't so lucky, so now I want to replace my riding style boots - I say 'style' because to me riding boots me Dublin and Ariat and go hand in hand with mucking out.

I really like these choices, though should maybe also pay attention to some of the price tags. A student can dream surely..?

Warm Winter Coats

So I realised I have had the same two winter coats since lower 6th form, when I was 17.... I think it's time to refresh them up a bit! The reason I have had them so long though is because I can just never find one that is quite right, there's always something wrong with them.

I like to have choices in coats as well, I have my smart coat which buttons up and ties at the front with a big collar, and I have a quilted jacket which I think is actually a riding jacket (I got it before they were all over the high street) and it seems to have lost its padding and is now too big for me, but this is my more casual coat. Paired with my Hunters and a golfing umbrella I look very country at the side of a rugby pitch!

I have been out scouring the web for some choices, and think I may have to go and start trying on before it gets too cold and I give up trying to replace my coat for another year running.

Autumn Awaits: My Autumn Wardrobe Wants

So the summer is coming to an end and I'm heading home from Cannes relatively soon, and I really don't know what to expect of the weather! I've also reached the point that I'm a bit bored of summer clothes and my summer wardrobe - it's too late in the summer now to buy more clothes so I'm thinking of the next season. I don't want to wish the summer away but can't wait to snuggle up in warm clothes!
