So the snow has finally come, the tights are getting holed and the cold is still here. But one can hope for a wee lighter fabric of non wool, and less layers.

December colours

I am not a great fan of this time of year, apart from the time off and tv watching. Have been busy of late so not so many new joys, but here are a few delights that have made my x-mas warm, dry

and fuzzy. Let the tartan in, St. Vincents, £4. Summer wishful shoes, Good News Charity, £6. Beat it boots, Ebay, £9.

It's been a busy few weeks and I am on the look out for another jacket and boots! Found a grey frilled flowing jacket to get me through Autumn, waiting for the big thick, warm find. So in pics this week, we have frilled t-shirts,dresses to be worn as jackets or belted

The apple of my eye.

I have been on a big charity shop binge lately, filling up for the up coming cold, from frills, shirts to anything striped still and patterned. Long dresses, collared knitted jerseys to be worn as dresses and of course some shimmer and print. But this weeks darlings are my apple dress, timely for the launch of that phone! Now to match with the leaves that are to come. St. Vincent de Paul, Kingsland Rd, £3.

Frills and spils-September

My new dress is waiting to be worn when the tan fades and the nights go into red grey. It's abstract paisley giant patterns are topped all by a frill and a fitting waist. I will happy to wear this dress. St. Vincent de Pauls, Kingsland Rd, E8. £3.

Splash-September.

It was a very cold and busy day yesterday, and luckily I had this new favourite in my bag to put on when the doom of the Autumn breeze came in last night. This soft cotton almost sweatshirt fabric is my latest love, and had strangers last night coming up and telling me how much they loved it. All for £3, Kingsland Rd.
