Clean, simple, minimalism has been a really big hit with me recently.  As my style is ever-evolving, I seem to be drifting from busy patterns to more basic, no-fuss clothing.  But then I suppose that would be the general transition when moving from a Spring/Summer wadrobe to that of an Autumn/Winter one.  Having said that, prints have made their way into many of the AW12 catwalk collections, which means the trend will hit the high-street round about now and be in our wardrobes for yet another season.
I wore this the other day just as the sun was setting and it was surprisingly warm, which is why I'm wearing this cardigan from Whistles.  Nicely oversized, it went well with my new ASOS shirt (a size too big as you can tell, but I couldn't say no to the price) and my H&M trousers.
Speaking of H&M, have you seen their latest AW drop?  If you haven't, please just do so, your time - and money - will be spent wisely.  I want pretty much everything from their new collection!

I know I promised pictures of my time in Mexico last week, but to this day I have not managed to find that camera!  I've been looking everywhere for it, and haven't had any luck.  I'm really hoping my mum hasn't lost it, because that camera has the SD card with all the photos in it.  I'll let you know how I get on.

For the meantime, I've uploaded some pictures of me awkwardly posing in front of the camera.  As ever, we've not had the best of weather here so I thought I'd dress accordingly.  As much as I love summer and it's glorious weather, I much prefer dressing for Autumn's cooler days, which I suppose is ideal, living in Scotland and all.  This Barbour jacket is actually my mum's, which I've been stealing for the past 2 weeks now as it's not too heavy for the dismal weather... I do have my own Barbour jacket, but this one is much nicer.  My Timberland boots must be over 10 years old now. They were originally my mum's (see a pattern here?) but once I grew out of my smaller ones she gave me these because, frankly, she thinks they're horrid.

This month is going to be pretty busy for me but I will make sure to post when I can.  Hope you're all making the most of the last weeks of Summer!

Hey guys! As you may have noticed, I didn't have any time - or internet for that matter - to blog during my stay in Mexico.  I couldn't find my other camera, so for now I leave you with this solitary picture (sorry about the cone), but I promise more pictures will follow shortly!  I had a brilliant time with my family, and I honestly can't wait to go back and do it all again.  I hope you have all had a great summer (it's nearly over - eeek!) and I'll get back into blogging before you know it :)

Tomorrow I'm going on holiday again so I won't be blogging for a little while.  I don't know how easy it's going to be to upload pictures and connect to internet etc abroad so I can't garantee I'll be blogging regularly if at all whilst I'm away.
I will, however, bounce back as soon as I return so if I don't end up posting anything for the next few weeks, expect lots of posts when I get back!

ps I did mean to attach a picture to this, but Blogger just wasn't having it. Sorry it's so bland! x
