MONDAY. I think I’m the only one who’s actually embracing the cold weather we’ve been having these past couple of days, layers in August?? Hooray!! I know that I’m supposed to enjoy summer to it’s fullest since I live in a country where it’s dark pretty much 50% of the year but actually, I can’t wait for fall to arrive. It’s always been my favorite time of the year!

Decided to update my wardrobe with some fall pieces yesterday to celebrate that I’m finally starting to feel better again and stumbled upon this amazing vintage bag. It kind of reminds me of the stunning bags from Miu Miu’s a/w 11 collection that I’ve been longing for since I saw them on the runway, but for a fraction of the price. Paired with midnight blue corduroy pants, an elephant printed wool sweater layered over a white blouse and my favorite Zara heels I’m totally ready for the degrees to start dropping.

It feels like autumn lately in England too.
I’m not a big fan of long winter but I can’t complain to the nature I guess. lol.

I love your lip colour! It really suits you.
You look so great with any outfit.
I bet you’d look lovely even with some shreds of papers on! lol
