~ shine on ~
when the sun isn’t out, bring the shine with warm metallics.

make a slow move into autumn by updating some summer favourites with sleeves and a little arm candy.

~ the lady ~
if you read my post on transitional pieces last week, you will remember this miss selfridge pencil skirt as one of my favourite items to take you from summer in to autumn.
well, here’s the proof!

~ we need to talk about the jumper ~
i don’t even really know what to say about this.
whilst doing some serious timewasting the other day (i.e. a mega browse) this thing practically jumped out and hit me in the face.
so, i bought it.
the next ones are a little blurred, like the line between vulgar and excellent.
no cats were sickened or blinded in the making of this post.
i even match the decor!
f.y.i. the jumper came from tk maxx, from a brand called imagini. if you want to see what other delights they have to offer, put your sunglasses on and click here. i can only apologise.
~ roar materials ~
this outfit is proof that even the last stages of the sales can be fruitful. this leopard print skirt from zara roared at me from the reduced rack and i can’t get enough. good now with bare legs, perfect with opaques when the temperature starts to drop.
more on my other surprise find, the shoes, later.

~ last of the summer shine ~
so here’s a tip – next time you secretly borrow a necklace off your mum/friend/cat don’t wear it with white, and then panic confess when you think the metal may have ruined your new top.
you can probably guess this is what happened to me.
do, however, accessorize. i was really trying not to stand out as an english tourist abroad (weather too hot, clothes too inconvenient to care), but i threw on this spikey wonder and i felt a little less like one. that was until we stepped in to a nearby museum and my boyfriend shouted “cap’n barbossa!” at a sculpture.

~ going green ~
jewel tones are high up on the radar this coming autumn/winter. but i am not one to wait, no no. this little topshop number screamed transitional at me, and then made me buy it in white too (more on that later). worn with a few summer staples (and creases, courtesy of my suitcase) out for drinks in barcelona, i got pretty excited about which other jewel colours will demand to enter my wardrobe in the colder months.
