The Great Outdoors

02nd November 2015
It might be getting pretty cold outside but when the sun is shining and you live near some beautiful places it’s impossible to resist wrapping up and going for a walk. Any weekend where it isn’t pouring with rain (and sometimes when it is) Ben and I head out to the local sea front and surrounding area and take in the beauty of the season. It also happens to make for pretty settings for outfit photos.

Coat c/o Yumi | Dress: Topshop (last season) | Boots c/o Daniel Footwear

I’ve near enough lived in this Yumi coat since they kindly sent it my way in September. The second it got chilly enough outside I switched over from my lightweight jacket and it’s barely left my back since. It has a real classic feel to it and lends itself perfectly to any outfit. It’s also pretty snuggly and warm and perfect for taking on a little stroll and keeping off the sea breeze.

You can’t beat a pair of biker boots to toughen up a look and these ones from Daniel Footwear are probably my favourite pair I’ve ever had. Beautifully soft leather, shiny zip detail and a satisfy stomp as you walk through the leaves, these are another item that has barely left my person since the clocks changed. What I really love is that they come up higher than ankle boots which means you can pop on a pair of socks over tights for extra cosy factor.

When I bought this dress in the Spring I already had Autumn in mind. I gave it one cursory outing back in May then resigned it to my wardrobe until September rolled around. This is the perfect weekend dress in my opinion. It can easily be smartened up for an evening look with a pair of heels and a swipe of lipstick but is equally comfortable for chilling out in.

What are some of your most worn pieces right now? Any tips for staying extra warm as Winter descends?

    I do love thick tights and a nice dress for layering over winter. Add a nice pair of boots and its my go to outfit. x x

    Layers! I have been known to wear 5 or 6 on the coldest days of the year. But it’s also important to keep feet, hands, neck and head warm, so socks and warm shoes, gloves, scarves and hats are a must!
    Love your biker boots.

    That coat is so lovely and looks like it would be so versatile too. My obsession at the moment seems to be roll necks, I wear them with everything and find them so nice and warm 🙂 xx
