I've been wanting to do this post for a while because I love watching & reading about other people's seasonal favourites, so I thought you may want to hear mine. This Summer has been pretty fantastic in truth. I've definitely enjoyed going on holidays the most, trips to the beach & reading books! I've also enjoyed exploring the secondhand stores so I can pick up more things for redecorating my bedroom. I've been inspired by blogs & some of the things on this board.

A few weekends ago I went out & did what I call 'proper' shopping. It was great to just go out by myself & shop without any time limits, distractions etc. That's not to say I don't like shopping with other people, I do. Sometimes though it's just nicer to go by yourself when you know exactly what you're after & what shops you want to go to etc.

I managed to pick up a few essentials & extra things I wanted so I thought I'd show you them all here;

There's no point denying it anymore. Winter is days away for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere. Now is the time to bring out big warm coats, scarves & practical, but always fashionable clothing. I've compiled a list of what I'd love to add to my wardrobe this winter. As always it's about investment pieces & classic designs which will last & not outdate as easily in years to come.
