Flashes of Style

I<3Fall

I love LOVE London in the fall! Everywhere I turn, there are pretty leaves
on the ground grabbing my attention. Today was very cold and rainy and
it was the perfect day to bundle up. Layering is my ultimate favorite thing
about winter. Mixing and matching... oh the endless possibilities
of winter fashions!

My first few weeks in London I went absolutely insane shopping, but
the past few weeks I've calmed down so that I can save for things
I really really want. Newest things I'm in search for: a vintage brown
fur coat, crushed velvet/velvet anything, and bulky knits like this
scarf I'm wearing.

Yay for Fall and yay for winter! Hands down my absolute favorite time
of year.

One More Red

Like mother like daugther. I found this dress out of my mom's closet
a few months ago and instantly fell in love with it. It's smooth, silky,
and fits like a glove. It's so funny how my mom's style in the 80's
has shown to be quite similar to mine 20 years later. I definitely miss
her closet over here in London! So yeah to any annoying anonymous
"skinny" comments... petite runs in the family.

Now I know it's a day or two too late, but I wore this dress for the
first time the other night for Halloween! I was none other than
Minnie Mouse.

Stringy Scarf

This is quite possibly the first time I have worn red on my blog. It must
be the only red thing I have in my closet, in fact. I love it for two reasons: 1.)it's elaborate construction, 2.)My lovely dad gave it to me!This photo was snuck on my
way to class the other day. It's becoming harder
and harder to take outfit photos these days, since daylight savings has
already taken place here in london. I shall try my best though to
continue with them.

In other news: I have been updating my flickr account
regularly as of late. I am such a scatterbrain, with ideas constantly
zooming in and out of this crazy head of mine. Photography is a
great outlet for whatever you can call this jumbled mess of thoughts
I have. My canon 35mm has been my best friend.
Here are a few I have posted recently:

Sunny skies

Say hello to my favorite vintage dress ever.

To my surprise, weeather in London has been fabulous (reference photos of the sky for your visual understanding). This lovely weather has permitted me to wear this outfit above sans shiveringand excessive goosebumps. It's a shame that I have been the world's greatestprocrastinator since school has started and I have to work on homework
all day. I'm still fascinated by the city and feel the need/have to explore it every
single day. I guess today I will have to sadly take a break.

And PS- I'm still obsessed with these tights and I wear them all
of the time.

Double Knit

Yay for the end of the week! I do not have classes on Friday, so today begins
my weekend. This week was super busy, but very great. Highlights of my week: I went to numerous art exhibits, booked my trip to Paris, learned how to take the bus instead
of the tube, and went to a vintage market. Everyday in London is an exciting
one! Below are a couple of my favorite photos that I viewed from the Wallace
Collection. This lovely exhibit is FREE and about 2 seconds away from my school.
I'm definitely going to pop in again sometime soon.

PS- Thank you all SO much for Paris advice! It was all so helpful, really.
I leave in 3 weeks :)
