It’s freakin’ freezing here today! I think we caught the outer bands of Sandy last night as we lost power at 9pm just as Dexter was about to start darn it! MM and I were scrambling around with my iPhone torch trying to turn everything off so we wouldn’t be woken up when all the power came back on, but we still found the dogs watching t.v. this morning:)
Gearing up for a busy week – it’s MM’s birthday tomorrow. Yes a Leo and a Scorpio – apparently a difficult but strong star sign union – this summary is oddly quite accurate:) I’m taking him out for dinner and, as happens every year, we’ll be the most hungover trick or treaters in the neighborhood on Wednesday. We will power on through though. Then on Saturday we’re meeting a friend of mine who I haven’t seen for 20 odd years. He’s over on business and we thought it might be fun to catch up…let’s hope we both have something interesting to say after all those years – could be awkward!:)
Today I picked out the warmest cardigan I have – it’s AllSaints and is one of the first AllSaints items I bought back in 2009 in the winter sale. It’s a rust/dark burgundy color and is really heavy and toasty. The top is from Zara and the pants are Express from a couple of years ago – they are ponte so lovely and stretchy – a cross between leggings and pants if you will. The boots are the Vince Camuto Autumn wedges – I love the cuffs on these and the buckle detail. All topped off with the oriental print scarf from Zara.

all about the scarf – looks gorgeous over the black outfit. We’re in freezing temps here in the UK right now and I can’t do anything to keep warm other than layers and chunky knits!
Freezing here too – tomorrow is going to be worse, definately time to break out the cashmere and bundle up!!
