I walked out of my door this morning to a breath of extremely crisp, fresh autumn air. It was lovely (as the Brits would say). The fog had also rolled in overnight and visibility was low but I didn't care because my street provided the perfect background for a "once upon in London" type of feeling. The whiteness of the fog against the dark stone or brick background of the Victorian buildings-stunning. What a way to start the day!
In keeping with the season's recent dip in temperatures and feeling dismayed at how little my wardrobe reflected autumn, I hopped on over to Kensington High Street after work to pick up some basic autumn gear.
Gap (I know, I know, how boring) was having a big sale which is great because I will never buy anything whole price there. I got two striped shirts (perfect for layering) and a wool black dress with a tie around the waist belt. It is extremely simple but classic.
Then I dangerously popped over to Jigsaw. I fell in love with everything I saw. Deep blues, browns and purples. Yum. I wish I could have bought the whole store. They have gorgeous tailoring like all of those little details that I would never think to add, but make all the difference (and Kate Middleton, William's on and off again squeeze is a buyer for them). I settled on a basic black, Italian merino wool sweater with the smallest bit of brown piping around the collar and wrists.
Autumn is here and I love it!
