For the best t-shirts around I like to go to The CITP in Huddersfield (The Connoussiuers Independent Trading Post) to pick up a couple of designs by the propietor, Benaiah Matheson.

Orange
Like my brother (Benaiah Matheson) I have always been a big fan of orange clothing, so I am so pleased at all the orange on offer this season. Here are a few of the pieces that will hopefully be winging their way into my wardrobe over the next few months, yes I will be rocking some orange this winter!

Cos again- Firstly sorry for the very dodgy picture, I couldn't find an image of the dress online and when I went to buy it they didn't have my size therefore all I have is this snap of me in the changing room... I'll either wear this with a grey cashmere jumper over the top or with a long sleeve stripy tshirts. Black ankle boots and socks.
Jumper... Cos.
Debenhams?- Shocking I know but this dress by Roksanda Ilincic is AMAZING! Again i'd dress it down with a tshirt underneath.
I'll probably leave the hat at home next time but I love to wear this dress by NW3 with stripy t-shirts or grey sweaters underneath.
My all time favorite orange moment- Vintage Lanvin.

Hair Bobbles
I forgot how much fun hair bobbles are, and with more people opting to tie their hair up in buns and ponytails it's about time the novelty bobble was embraced by adults.
Purchased for £1 at Pax in Dalston. They are sold in a pack of 5 in lots of different colours.
A childhood favorite. The ring comb is a great base for a hair bun.

Carvela 'Grass' Wedges
I know I used these shoes in my last blog but I really do like them. What could be more lovely on your feet than a pair of red suede wedges? They look super high but the platform ensures comfort, therefore wearing these is just a balancing act for those of us who don't fear heights. I can think of so many outfit scenarios where these shoes could make an appearance.. My wardrobe needs them.
Look!
Wear with cropped skinny jeans, maxi dresses, mini dresses, smocks- The possibilities are endless!
The black is practical but lacks the charm of the red. They should have made the wedge suede as well on these ones.

Starry Eyed
I enjoy this dress immensely. I didn't think I would be getting on the star wagon but I can't deny the charms of this one and priced at £70 from Oasis it is well within my reach. I'll probably just wear it with...
My white Converse
OR
Purple Louboutins to add a bit of colour.
These platform wedges from Carvela could also be an interesting accompaniment, £150
Throwing a jumper over the dress to make it into a skirt could also be nice.. Just thinking out loud!

Russian Dolls
Since I played with my cousins Russian doll when I was little (another blog with a childhood throw back) i've been a big fan of them. I must of spoken about my love of Russian dolls quite a bit because people keep buying them for me...

The Golden girls- I need this one in my life!
Robyn in her Russian doll playsuit, you can't really see the print in this picture but they are definitely there- I had to buy it!

Pippi Langstrump
Ever since I sat in my aunts room watching the films when I was little I have been a big fan of Pippi Longstockings. I mean how can you not be? This is a girl with pig tails that stick out as if a pipe cleaner has been stuffed down them, a house called Villa Villa Kula, a monkey... A horse= amazing. Oh and she has super human strength, what more could you want?!
On a recent trip to Stockholm I was able to indulge my love of Pippi at the Astrid Lindgren (author of Pippi and lot's of other children's books) museum, thanks Eugenia!
