So now that autumn is here and certainly not long until winter will be here, I decided to take a wander around the web to see if I could find some lovely new coats for the season. Above you will find some coats that happened to catch my eye and I'm especially in love with the Bernard Lafond one, a perfect combination of denim and wool. My outwear closet is filled mostly with black so I desperately tried finding some outwear that would add some color to the closet. Although I am not able to buy any of these coats, it is sure fun to take a look. The coat I'll be keeping myself warm with this autumn and winter is my trusty old leather jacket and my black and white boyfriend coat. Right now I'm trying not to part with my leather jacket but as I realized today, it is getting colder faster and that jacket just won't do. As much as I love winter, I do feel that it is coming a wee bit too fast at the moment but won't complain, time to bring out the knitted scarves and the snow resilient boots! Also I can't forget to mention that Halloween is just around the corner and even though Halloween isn't celebrated at all where I live, it doesn't stop me from contemplating costume ideas and carving pumpkins. Hope October has been a pleasant and not too cold month for all of you. And hopefully when the weather does change and bring cold, you have got a stylish and warm coat to go along with it! 

Marc Jacobs Perfume

Perfumes. I am not a huge perfume addict, wish I was but I can be quite a picky penelope with scents. I normally buy fragrances from The Body Shop because I find them fresh and not too strong. However, I do have one weakness when it comes to the wonderful world of perfume and that is dear Marc Jacobs. I have been a bearer of Marc Jacobs Lola for about two years and if I feel like indulging in a scent, it is definitely Lola. I first spotted Lola when it had just come out in New York, it was a limited edition and I found the bottle the sweetest thing I'd ever laid my eyes on. Also the most expensive thing I'd ever laid my eyes on. Turns out it was so popular, it became a full-time edition and I received it for my birthday. It was definitely worth the price, even though it had quite a strong smell, it was very sweet and fresh. Two qualities I look for in a perfume. So after raving about how great Lola was and dreading the thought of when the last drop was sprayed, I received the newer edition Oh Lola! I quickly took a liking to Oh Lola! because there was a strong smell of vanilla, which is an absolute favorite scent of mine. The reason I'm rabbling on about fragrances, is because I have been considering buying either his new one Dot or perhaps an old favorite for some, Daisy.

I am pretty convinced Daisy and Dot won't disappoint but if any of you lovelies have one, which would you recommend? Also if any of you are considering joining the Marc Jacobs perfume gang, the price may have you cringing but the scent will be worth it.

Mulig

I've been wrapped up in packing everything I own as well as throwing out almost everything I own that I realized how empty my new room will be because of the excessive cleaning. So I headed over to IKEA, the pride of Sweden and had my eye set on a clothes rack called Mulig (which means chubby in Swedish!). After schlepping it over to the new house and setting it up I got to thinking that now I'll need some new things to hang on there! Typical thought from me but seeing as I've gotten rid of so many things I would not mind seeing some new fabrics being welcomed into my closet. To review this rack, I must say I find it quite nifty, its easy to find what you're looking for if you're in a hurry and I like that it has a minimalist feeling to it. I'm, however, not planning on putting all my clothes on it as it will probably collapse and will be unusable but it's a neat idea to store pieces of clothing that may brighten up your room or that you find special. Only about a week left till the move and I can't wait, living around boxes definitely takes away the homey feeling. Hope you've all had a good weekend. 

Hugs all around

Autumn Wish list

So I went for a looksies around town today and found that the autumn style is going to be q

quite lovely this year. Here are some of the things I hope to see enter my closet in the next few months, if my wallet allows it of course. I really want a black wooly sweater for those windy days, I feel that would be a useful buy. Well to be fair, I think all my buys are useful, which is definitely not a good thing! 

Hugs all around,

Burgundy

When I spotted this picture, I automatically fell in love with the color, burgundy. And on top of that, its suede. So for this autumn I've decided that I'm going to seek and find a pair of burgundy suede shoes to spruce up the closet a bit. The perfect thin about the color as well is that it matches with quite a lot of other colors, such as brown, beige and of course black. If you feel you've found an autumn color that you are in dire need of in your closet this autumn, I definitely know how you feel.
