Streets of London

Hello dear readers! Now that autumn has come in all its glorious beauty, with cold air and sunshine, there's no choice, but to cover ourselves with multiple cosy layers. I notice many cape-shaped coats (especially in camel) these days, but it seems a bit boring to fall for the trend and embrace it in exactly the same way we're being proposed to embrace it. So, here I snapped a couple of photographs of my friend Lisa that I wrote about earlier here, as I quite enjoyed the way she put her ensemble together for a crisp yet sunny October afternoon.
Do you like the way she mixed traditional autumn colours and fabrics? Personally, I'm a little bit surprised the top is fleece and not wool, but perhaps it gives a touch of contrast to the practically all-wool outfit.

Cool people: Holly Molly, this is Polly!

Sometimes it's not what you wear, but how you wear it. Polly is actually wearing a summer dress and men's trousers!
Saturated sky (not English obviously) blue and formal grey? Perfect combo. I also think the rugged belt acts as the perfect 'bridge' here, as it smoothes the transition. I love the way she mixed masculine things with girly (and the most unlikely combination of a rain coat with a tank-top). 

Hoarding: Vintage gucci loafers

My adoration for men-inspired footwear for women grows stronger as I get older. Naturally, I could not help myself when I saw a pair of these vintage Gucci loafers in a Charity shop in London for £15, in my size. Not that I needed any more shoes, but then- if I don't need anymore, then who does? I am so greedy, I even almost got in a fight over these, but that's another story.
