Hark. I hear the changing of a season. The day back to work after the August Bank Holiday is kind of like the first day back to school after the Summer break. And so with fresh stationary, and newly sharpened pencils I await the Autumn Winter wardrobe with baited breath. And upon opening the September issue of Red today, I had my first swoooooooon moment. An actual inhalation caused by sheer love at first sight. Styled by Sarah Clark, the Autumn's Urban Uniform shoot is perfection. It portrays everything I love about this season. The layering, the return of 'smart' after Summer, the palette of black, grey, navy and just a few 'colourful' shades of smokey green. The shot below is my favourite. My inspiration. My aim. This incredible coat is from Topshop and at more than £300 I'm already calculating how many Starbucks I have to forgo to purchase. A great pair of boots and the deepest, darkest opaques.....I can almost feel that crisp London chill of a morning commute that I love so much.
I used to be all about the jacket. I would be told off for braving the snow in my beloved leather one - by my mother, or my boss. But now I can not wait to get a coat. A great, big, rich, thick, oversized, blanket of a coat. I can only assume that my critics will just have to scold me for impractically wearing it over my shoulders - the styling trick du jour for outerwear. Bring it on ladies. I'll be too cosy to care.
