AUTUMN

The mornings are starting to get a little icy. As I leave our apartment building early in the morning I can see my breath huffing out in front of me as little swirling clouds of fog. But oh! I just can't let go of my comfortable, bright, floaty print dresses yet.

This weekend, a solution found me. Wandering past Cotton On, my eyes alit on a soft, ivory, deliciously oversized cardigan.

So I'm giving my summer wardrobe an autumn makeover, which means I can lengthen the life of my maxi dresses and summery shifts with a few simple adjustments. Cardigan, ankle boots and a bit of boho attitude with this stunning one-off necklace from Gypsy River.

I won it during an instagram sample sale, and I feel like it was meant to be mine. It fits like it was made for me. Each intricate little Indian coin warms under the touch of my fingers, and it jangles cheerfully as a walk. It reminds me of that saying "I'll be there with bells on" which makes me smile.

I found this textured concrete overpass while taking a slight detour on my way home from work - something I've been doing more often lately - I feel like it slowly opens me up to tiny little extra pieces of the world around me, one back street at a time.

Although I'm sad to see summer go, I'm looking forward to curling up in our overstuffed armchair with a cup of chai and reading a great book (or twenty), steaming bowls of porridge with cinnamon for breakfast, bundling up in overcoats and scarves and maybe even a little dancing in the rain.
