Faux Suede Knee High Boots

Lately there's been a huge trend for suede over the knee boots and I wasn't sure if I wanted some as I didn't know if I could pull them off and a few days ago I saw these and tried them on and wanted to give them a go. They're not real suede and the back panel is elasticated but I think buying some like this before you go all out with real suede is a good way to see if you like them and if you can style them. They're from Dorothy Perkins and they were originally £35 but they were 20% off so I got them for £28, they don't have a heel which I like and they come to just over the knee. They're nice and comfy and great for the season so I think I'll get a lot of wear out of them.

 

They're sold out on the website but they might still be in stores and if not I'm sure you can find some similars elsewhere if you want to try out the style.

A Little Tip For Getting Out Of The House

I sometimes find that life seems to be a little too planned out for my liking, you have to decide what you want to do, where to live, who to be and then you spend your time working towards that goal and we can lose our sense of spontaneity pretty easily. I have a lot of time on my hands right now and I like to use that time to just get in the car and get out, I'm sometimes not the best at making decisions so I've recruited a good old mug to hold suggestions on bits of paper for when I'm stuck for where to go. These aren't huge suggestions, just things like local villages or the beach, simple things that don't cause too much stress or anxiety and can be so enjoyable if you just relax.

 

 

If you ever feel like you need to get out but there's nowhere to go I really recommend that you write down a few things that are quite familiar to you, put them in a mug and use them when you're feeling stressed or anxious. It takes a lot of the stress off of you as you have to use whichever one you pick first, I find it's a great way of making me get out of the house when I'm really not feeling it and I feel better pretty much every time so it's well worth it. Who would have thought a mug could be so handy!

Exploring In The Autumn Sunshine

Yesterday I went to an adorable little village and it looked so picture-perfect in the autumn sunshine, I felt as though I'd stepped into a film with the perfect blue skies and old timbered buildings and places like this always feel like home to me. Everywhere I looked there were different details and things to see and I wanted to share them on here because places like this go unnoticed all the time and they make up so much of my childhood. My family and I would always explore different villages and they're all beautiful and unique.

 And of course, what day would be complete without stopping for something to eat? For me, nothing beats traditional restaurants, timbers and an open fire; especially at this time of year.

And yes, it was as good as it looks!

A Foggy Start To November

 

Surely I can't be the only one who's slightly concerned that it's November already?! I do this every year, one minute it's just starting to get chilly and the next thing you know it's nearly Christmas! I woke up this morning to a blanket of fog and this evening I was walking my dog and thought that it looked so beautiful that I just had to document it. My camera couldn't pick up all the detail but I think the fact that everything is sort of out of focus and the lights are shining through is eerily beautiful.
