Wearing Lilac in Autumn with Camel And Plum

 Oh camel coat how i love thee. Since my big coat debate i have worn this coat so very very much!! I've mentioned previously how i sometimes start from the outer layer of the outfit and work my way in, well it bodes well when the coat is this good! Camel goes with so much, which makes for very easy outfit making. I recently saw in Look magazine camel and lilac for a 70's type vibe, graced the catwalks on some designer shows. And I like this combo. It brings a pretty pastel  colour to autumn, when we used to be all about the browns and blacks. Fresh colours are always welcome, especially when paired with the wonderful neutral of camel.
I paired my new plum 'tube trousers' (fancy word for thick stretchy leggings if you ask me) in to the outfit for some depth next to the lighter colours. Black seemed to dark, jeans would work too but this lovely plummy colour added just the right amount of warmth.
I wish i'd taken my coat off to show the sleeves of this lilac fine knit sweater. It has lovely little jewels all over the sleeves for that extra sparkle. Love it! (have a look here plus it's on sale for £10!)

Meet the Newest Member of the Family

Thought it was about time i made some introductions here on the blog!

This little lady is Cassy, 

the newest member of the Turone household. 

She is a Bichon Frise crossed with a Jack Russell.

 She's teeny tiny, full of fun and the most wonderful addition to the family.

I never really realised how much i wanted a dog until this bundle of joy came to live with us. We had been talking about a puppy for some time for Neo, we wanted him to grow up with a companion of the furry variety as when the step kiddoes leave to go to their mum's house, there's a huge space left behind and it leaves him sad. So it was either give Neo another brother or sister (not gunna happen) or a puppy. 

We looked around for a few weeks, mulled the idea over and then this little baby came upon us.

When my husband,Salvatore, went to visit the litter of 3 girls, this perfect little pooch took a shine to him. She choose him and therefore she came home with us.

We have already giggled and oohhh'ed and ahhhh'ed so much at this little beauty that i can't imagine life without her, as i type she is cwtched* up asleep on my lap.

I just can not wait for her last jab so we can take her out for nice walkies with her.

So there we have it! 

Our little bundle of joy.

Any doggy training tips? All would be gratefully received! 

*Cwtched (pronounced cootched) : Welshword for cuddle /snuggle :)

Aztec Dress in Autumn

This little aztec dress has been worn so very very much over the last couple of months, i actually had to stop and think back as to whether i had posted here on the blog. Turns out i hadn't, which surprised me with the amount i've been wearing it. I guess it's because it's so easy to just throw on. I am all about the convenience , as you well know. Life is busy! Puppy, children, work, blog, Yosa and yep life is hectic. So nice and easy outfits will always be favoured by me.
We have had a freakishly mild Sept-Oct and i often wore this little dress with just socks and boots and a light cardigan, now it's getting cold finally (yay) i am really enjoying it with scarves, tights and jackets. no doubt come summer i will also love it with some great tan sandals too.
I do love when i find little gems that can work for you all year round! It doesn't happen often for me, i have some sort of season-dressing-ocd where things can only be worn in the appropriate season (which fyi- i'm trying to overcome, because white jeans in winter look awesome... and yet i can't bring myself to do it, god damn it!), but yes this dress i will have no problem with in any given month!

Do you have any articles that work well for you all year round? 

Is there anyone out there like me with season dressing ocd?
