My Autumn/Winter necessities

I have decided to gather and share my list of necessities of both things I own and hope to own by the time autumn is fully upon us.

1. My Navy A.P.C. lambswool scarf. It proved to be my best friend last winter to keep me warm and extermely comfortable. When unfolded it is nearly the size of a blanket , and of course the huge piece of material when wrapped around my neck kept me snug. The colour is also incredibly versatile and is evident to be one of my favourite colours for clothing. I am extremely tempted to invest in the pale cream scarf A.P.C. are currently selling but that isn't really a necessity, just me being greedy. 

2. My beloved navy A.P.C. coat. I wore this coat to death last Autumn/Winter. There isn't much need to explain why as it is such a basic piece but every time I wore it I instantly felt put together. (A.P.C. no longer sell this coat but here is the link to this seasons pea coat they are selling.)

3. Another beloved item is my denim skirt. I am not lying to say I wear it almost everyday. I really should find another skirt but this one goes with everything far too effortlessly to not wear. The raw denim is now beginning to break in, after about a year (yes a year!!) and soften, which is making me consider purchasing another before it is discontinued and so I can have it in my wardrobe for ever.  

4. Margaret Howell cable knit roll neck jumper. I recently wrote about my submission into the quest of a black roll neck jumper. I am happy to announce the mission is over and I am greatly content with my investment. The combination of luxury fabrics (wool and cashmere) the jumper results itself in absolute bliss covering my upper body and neck. 

5. A.P.C. Osaka dress. The concept of a dress is so appealing. I love the way it is one item that you pull straight over your head and it is considered an item that makes you look you have put great effort into getting ready. This one by A.P.C. has an extra appeal as it is navy which I am always drawn to. I also love the pattern, it appears to be a drawing turned into a repeat patten. I have been recently drawn to simplistic drawings of plants to show their natural shapes so the combination of this and an item by my favourite brand is a must have for me. 

6. Margaret Howell turtle neck jumper. I dont wish to bore my readers with being repetative so here is the link of my blog post already expressing my love for this jumper.

7.Navy A.P.C Peter Pan collar coat (Dolly coat). Ah, the trusty sixties style I can never resist being appealed to. A.P.C. have greatly created an item destined to belong within my wardrobe. I tried this coat on during my trip to London and since it has not escaped my mind. The cut suits my body so well I cannot help myself to brag. The knee length also adds a distinctive difference to my Pea coat as it will keep an extra section of my legs warm. 

8. Church's brogues. These classic shoes can cause some controversy with the claim of being too masculine. However I find the detailed cut leather to create a classic decorative pattern could not be any more feminine, as well as the patent leather which is a classic characteristic of feminine shoes. I love the idea of impeccable detailing and workmanship that has gone into the construction of an item. This gives me a idea of safety that I know these shoes wont fall to bits after one winter of wear. The idea of having my feet fully covered is also appealing as I am so used to walking around with freezing and sodden feet. Another point I must make is the rather ridiculous fact that I find the appearance of the nude inner contrasting with the shoes outer is so pretty. 

9. My Porselli ballerina's. They aren't the best for damp days but have such a cute aesthetic about them that makes me feel utterly girly. They also are the most comfy shoes I have ever owned due to them immediately moulding to the shape of my feet. They are obviously not the most durable shoes due to their ballerina qualities, but I will happily replace them over and over again to satisfy my love for them.
