AUTUMN WARDROBE ADDITIONS

You already know about Anne C's obsession with pink, so here she is again wearing head-to-toe pale pink, which was perfect for this unseasonably warm Autumn day. Given that she is very short (5'2") and curvy, she tries to wear one shade rather than cutting her in half with different colours, which just makes her look shorter and wider (she says!)

She is showing off her new pale pink poncho, bought from one of her new favourite online retailers, Mandy's Heaven, which she discovered on Instagram earlier this year - and this is her sixth piece from bought her boutique (actually strictly speaking it is the fourth piece she has bought since Mandy very kindly gifted her and Anne H a gorgeous silk top and a beautiful necklace each here and here). But since she absolutely loved the clothes it's no hardship to buy more!

This fabulous poncho is a recent buy from Mandy's but no longer on the website, though they often restock if you check back later. She has teamed with perfectly matching pale pink jeggings and pale pink suede bootees, both from Primark earlier this year. The necklace is from iizzy boutique in Bury, while the pearl earrings are several years old.

Anne H was anticipating a wild drop in temperature at the time of our shoot, and in preparation went on the search for a lovely warm scarf. First stop COS and success, with the find of this lovely wool cashmere check scarf which will go with a multitude of coat colours as it incorporates navy, red and brown.  Not the cheapest of items at £59 but it is certainly something she will wear over and over.

All the other elements of this outfit were already in her wardrobe so she is really being very thrifty.  The camel coat was purchased in the  Massimo Dutti sale during our trip to Bruges earlier this year, and she really likes this length for day to day wear.  They have a very similar coat in the current collection and she particularly loves the seaming detailing on this one and the longer line Crombie styling. They haven't given it the most imaginative name - solid coloured wool coat, but hey ho it does what it says on the packet and for £229, it is reasonably priced for a coat with 75% wool content.

She has teamed with another sale find, these jeans from Ted Baker and some snazzy red boots from TopShop.  They are doing a similar pair this year in a lovely red croc finish called Houston for £59.
