AUTUMN HAS LANDED! *Cartwheels around the room*
So my secrets out, as much as I love the Summer – and I really do, I have a secret love burning deep inside for Autumn. Do you know why? I have an addiction to coats, boots, and bags. Basically outerwear! So I am eyeing up my old faithful boots, my beloved coats and big wintry hard core leather bags while it rains for the first time in like, a gazillion days.
With this obsession now at the forefront of my mind I thought it might be fun to trawl the internet and share one of my favourite pass times with you:
Behold the autumnal essentials ‘Add to Cart’ game. (Rightmove & fantasy holiday shopping being a close 2nd / 3rd)
First up is…
Coats:
(I included the links, y’know for just in case…££ )
- The school run, cover ya bum, no harm done jobby and laugh in the face of a full on deluge, January style.
Mango, £139.99 - The oh-my-god I need this in my life NOW coat. Ok, so it doesn’t look particularly warm, it doesn’t have more than 2 buttons on it for goodness sake. But my word, leopard conquers all for me right now.
3. Are you ready for some coat candy. Yeh?! Ok then, here goes… (I mean, we could just cancel Christmas and let the kids stroke the coat right?!)
Boots
This is where my fantasy ‘Add to Cart’ game is a wonder because let’s face it – boot shopping can be hell; Especially with my pint sized assistants in tow. In one tantrum they can zap all of the fun out of my favourite sport. Life can be cruel.
- I have been searching for the perfect Chelsea boot (like y’do) for an age. I think I may have finally found it this season… sigh.
2. Now, my husband would utter that this next beauty is the same as the Chelsea above – Good grief how wrong could he be!
Well, an elegant western, who knew!
3. Who doesn’t love a black knee high. A staple… ok I don’t actually own a pair YET. But I have been a good girl this year Santa…
And lastly, can we all have a good laugh at these please?! Think of the rain, how would we jump in muddy puddles?!! Topshop, how could you? *Shakes head, folds arms*
Bags…
I can not forget my favourite of all the outerwear garments: THE BAG. Here are my 3 faves for Autumnal-bliss. I’ll go in price order here…
- A throw it all in delight – Mmmmm with those black knee highs… I might add that it also has a long strap. Totally dressing it down: 2 bags in 1, so actually only about £44.50 per look. BARGAIN.
2. Swoon* Grey, my one true love. and isn’t she pretty…
3. You know how I mentioned that this was a FANTASY cart, well here’s the fantasy:
See, I wasn’t going to let you down. This right here is a proper bit of bag porn Mumas. We like? We likey a lot? And how practical is it I hear you ask… wipe clean, check. Room for wet wipes & nappies? Check! This is totally Muma proof. There’s just the teensy tiny question of the price tag. ” Cha ching cha ching… ”
So there you have it: my Autumnal round up.
Now I’m off to get back into my Primark jeans before I hit the nursery run. Keeping it real chicks, keeping this shizzle real.
Let me know what you think…
I love bags and boots haha!

I love that Reiss jacket – but I think I’ll be waiting for the Primarni version! 😉 I really do need to get a good winter coat this year though, if only to avoid taking my dad up on his offer of a ‘lovely’ anorak… #thetruthabout
