Color of the moment. Blush.

Winter is coming. I say this despite what I think has been the best weather we have seen all year in London, and with the week ahead promising that it will continue! To me though, this is the best time of year. Knowing that winter is around the corner means we are all soaking up the sunshine and embracing it as much as possible. At the same time I am starting to day dream about sweaters, wooly socks and weekend cook fests at home.

Cooler weather = coolER clothes

Looking to inject a little cool into your cooler weather wardrobe? How about a bit of inspiration from UK Vogue. Leave it to the Londoners to perfectly epitomize a casually cool, slightly androgynous, edgy, work vibe.

Culottes. Just in time for Fall

Had I been blogging at all this Spring or Summer you would know that I am not really sold on culottes. It seems like something children in France can only get away with.  Or Victoria Beckham. 

But then I saw this 

It isn't everyday that unsuspected snail mail pleasantly surprises you these days (thanks greatplains.co.uk)!  I think it is a bit of a stretch to call these culottes. I would categorize them more accurately as as wide leg ankle length pants, but the internet says these count too, so I am going with it.

For me this is exactly what I want to be wearing for fall right now. 

If you still can't get your head around culottes, a bit more food for thought from the street including the woman who wears them so well.....
