Fall break catch up!

I’m exhausted. Aren’t breaks supposed to be for relaxing and recharging? It was certainly a fun long weekend though. My FIL arrived from the UK on Thursday so it’s fun to have a house guest and the kids love having Grandpa here – especially when he arrives bearing gifts and pickled onion Monster Munch for me!

On Friday we took him out for lunch and I wore my new Zara pleather trousers for the first time. The Everlane Street Shoes rock and really helped me feel casual and comfy and not overdressed for a relaxed lunch.

Shoes – Everlane leather street shoes // Trousers – Zara // Shirt – AllSaints (last season) // Jacket – J.Crew Regent linen blazer

On Saturday I had an opportunity to wear my new Madewell t-shirt.

Boots – Isabel Marant H&M // Jeans – Zara (old) // T-shirt – Madewell (on sale) // Jacket – J.Crew Regent linen blazer

Yesterday we headed to our friends’ house to celebrate their boys birthdays – October is a busy month for birthdays around here! It was great to get the OTK boots out for the the first time this year!

Finally there have been a lot of sales over the Columbus weekend and I am still getting emails today. The one that caught my eye is the ShopBop.com 25% friends and family discount – use INTHEFAM25 – I am considering the R13 coated cross over jeans that Marlene wears so fabulously! The great thing about Shopbop.com is that you can use your Amazon Prime account for next day delivery!

Get the big coat out

I don’t think Atlanta is going to get the snow that the North East is expecting but it certainly feels like deepest, darkest winter out there today! After a weekend of glorious sunshine I woke up this morning feeling like we should all just stay in bed. Unfortunately not an option for any of us, so I steeled myself and headed off to the gym after the school run. I feel quite virtuous now 🙂

This weekend I did a little online shopping, before we headed out for a family lunch followed by fun at our neighbor’s house. I’d been cruising the Uniqlo site for a few days checking this beauty out. I finally convinced myself that I need it for my trip back to the UK.

I don’t have a trench and I have always wanted a shorter version. I was torn though between the classic neutral or navy and this camo version. In the end I went for the camo version as it is so unusual and I think it will look great paired with all black – which let’s face it – I have an abundance of in my closet. I am sure I can track down a more classic version at a later date if it becomes a wardrobe staple for me!

As for what I wore this weekend – here is my Saturday ensemble – I switched the boots for Converse when we headed to our neighbor’s for beer and football. Not a great idea after the strongest margarita ever and an enormous chimichanga!

Boots – Rag & Bone Newbury in burgundy (in sale here) // Jeans – Zara (old) // Jumper – Uniqlo merino polo neck (similar here) // Jacket – J.Crew denim // Cape – ASOS

Today I’m off to my Ob/Gyn annual so opted for a dress for easy on and off! I instantly regretted this as the wind whipped round my legs while I took my photos!

Piperlime is having a 20 hour flash sale that includes 25% off ALL shoes and bags using the code SHOPFAST – this is unusual as there are normally some brands excluded from their promotions – not this time though so be quick!!

Here are my picks!

The Vince Nina is still one of my favorite shoes and this year it is more easily available in several different colorways too – I love this oxblood pony hair version.

The Vince Claire is my ‘going out’ shoe for this Fall/Winter – I have ordered it in the above oxblood but I really would love the nude cappuccino pair too!

Finally, get these now while there is 25% off – they are rarely found on sale! The blue suede are already in the sale so with the extra 25% off they are a steal! I love mine from last year so much and went with my true size of US 8.5 – The Stuart Weitzman 5050:

Starting to panic about packing!

In less than 3 weeks I’ll be heading to the UK for what has now become my annual meet up with my blogging friends. To make the most of the CHILD FREE trip across the Atlantic I’ll be staying with my Mum and Dad for a few days too, and hanging out with my brother and sister. To say I am excited is an understatement. (Caveat for when reading in years to come : Poppy and Hugh I will miss you LOTS but Mommy just needs some girl time sometimes! xx).

I have of course already started to panic about packing. An extensive wardrobe really only makes things more challenging. I have – don’t laugh – started a spreadsheet that itemizes bottoms, tops, sweaters, shoes and accessories. It is quite a long spreadsheet and needs some – shall we say – fine tuning?

The advantage of making a spreadsheet is that it can identify gaps in your travel wardrobe. Now as you all know far too well there are few ‘gaps’ in my closet, but one is a practical, warm, trendy coat. I have lots of wool coats but they are quite heavy for wearing when walking around London, plus they are harder to roll up and pack , and also less comfortable for layering. Just play along with me please…

Given my above reasoning I realized that what I really ‘need’ is a parka. Not a wax, storm proof parka, but a lighter weight, lined parka that will be cosy, plus has room to layer over a leather or denim jacket. I narrowed my choices down to the following:

The Asos Cocoon Parka:

The Asos parka with detachable lining:

It was a tough decision – there are pros and cons to each. The idea of a detachable lining makes the second a great option, as does the ability to cinch the waist, whereas the cocoon version has less going on. I polled my fellow bloggers and they were no bloody help as opinions were equally divided. In the end I closed my eyes and picked one, and now the cocoon parka is on it’s way to me! I hope it will work well to layer over my AllSaints leather jacket.

Today I am back to black again, with a touch of leopard and red:

Sneakers – red converse // Jeans – Zara coated skinnies // Shirt – Men’s Gap white shirt // Sweater – Uniqlo cashmere men’s crew neck // Jacket – AllSaints Monument jacket // Hat – J.Crew (old – similar here)

Friday was red and black too for a trip to the mall:

Sneakers – Golden Goose sparkle slides (similar here) // Leggings – H&M // Dress – ASOS swing dress // Jacket – Zara (old – similar here) // Scarf – H&M (similar here)

Finally yesterday with a glimmer of sun I bared the legs – albeit just the knees:

Boots – Stuart Weitzman Nude nubuck 5050s // Dress – ASOS

I’ve been pinning some packing tips but if you have any suggestions or tips please share – after all these years I am still crap at selecting a capsule wardrobe for traveling. I’m always terrified of leaving something behind that I end up really wanting to wear. OK, ‘terrified’ may be stretching it…

Trying on the AllSaints haul, and spotting some Target gems!

Oh good heavens above – I can barely contain myself. I LOVE it all. Secretly I was hoping that some of the purchases from the AllSaints sale would have to be returned, but nope, it’s all perfect, what’s more I ordered all the right sizes too! It arrived in four boxes so I felt like I was opening Christmas goodies all over again. My UPS delivery man thinks I’m nuts the way I shriek with delight at him at the door.

Starting with my favorite – the Riviera dress. I’d tried the jersey version earlier in the year but the jersey doesn’t drape as well and was far too revealing – at least on this old bird. The silk however is still sexy but a little more conservative at the front. Totally, totally love it. This is a UK12 and fits perfectly even across the boobs. All sizes still in stock and reduced from $330 to $132.

Now for the splurge – I adore this jacket. It is so heavy – such great quality leather and the oxblood is far less severe, yet equally as versatile as black. It’s a jacket to be worn and worn – the older it gets the better it will look. Reduced from $700 to $350 – and again available in most sizes – this is a UK 12.

Now the Diego Tee dress in natural marl. This comes up short – maybe too short for some – but I love it with these grey Newbury boots for the spring. A fun way to get the legs out. As a lover of suede I love the lightweight suede detailing. It wipes clean easily with a dry cloth so don’t be scared of it. The pocket is a single pocket that goes all the way through – make sense? Reduced from $260 to $104 and I am wearing a Medium.

Now I might just live in this over the coming weeks. The Verna gilet is SO soft and snuggly. This was a complete outsider when I ordered it – but I am smitten. This is a M/L but to be honest I think a S/M would have been fine too – it doesn’t fasten so it does’t need to fit across the chest. Reduced from a whopping $348 to $139.

Finally the Pia jersey dress. I love AllSaints for their classic draping – and this is just perfect. The skirt can be lowered or raised depending on how conservative/flirty you are feeling:) There are several colors still available and I ordered both the gray and navy for a change from black. It is reduced from $175 by varying amounts depending on the color – and right now it looks like all sizes in all colors are available . It’s driving me nuts going to their site as there are still so many fabulous pieces in the sale and they seem to be getting more stock online from their stores! This dress by the way is a UK 10 – I always size down in their jersey.

I’m so happy with my purchases – all will be great through spring and the Pia dress and Riviera dress can be worn through the summer too. See – forward planning!

Today the kids were out of school and I managed to nab a couple of hours to myself while they helped Daddy at work. I was in Target doing the domestic shop when I spotted these gems – Target do some great pieces at times!

A fab sequin skirt – just $29.99

A great quilted skirt with zip detailing – just $13.98 online now and available in black too. (Check out Fiona in her skirt here – she wore it Christmas day after picking it up on vacation here!)

A shift dress in a similar fabric – just $24.99 – I love this and it is also available in black.

This scuba dress is fabulous – no different from those that Zara offers – but a third of the price at $24.99!

The final dress that caught my eye was this red and black checked shift. How and why I left without it I have no idea. The cold has gone to my head. I can’t see it online anywhere but it was $24.99.

Here is what I wore today to brave the polar vortex – I went for winter white and monochrome.

Boots – 5050 Stuart Weitzman black suede // Jeans – Target // Jumper – Boden cashmere polo neck (similar here) // Cardigan – H&M (old)

Then to go out I opted to add my Marks and Spencer checked coat (similar here) and cashmere beanie hat from Nordstrom.

18 degrees Fahrenheit didn’t feel nearly as bad as I thought it would – it always helps when the sun is shining too! Stay warm folks.
