The continued adoration of Paul Smith this autumn

Rochester

Up there with Captain Wentworth and Darcy, Rochester is always a character women will adore. Despite his pretty moral looseness. Guess everyone's a sucker for a Byronic hero/anti hero! Anyway, saw the new Jane Eyre yesterday and having been convinced that no-one could be a better Rochester than Toby Stephens, I was proved completely wrong. Very very wrong. Michael Fassbender was totally and utterly fantastic in the role. But I am wondering if the novel contains any notion that the character is a red-head, or is it an odd coincidence that the two best have been one themselves?

Throw in a little Darcy and Wentworth, just for good measure!

If I were a boy...

...I'd hopefully a fabulous bow-tie wearing one! Have a bit of a style crush on Brad, the former minion of Rachel Zoe.

Major MAJOR glasses envy

THIS however, might be the ultimate outfit. Generally all autumn I shall be chanelling this outfit in some form!

Can a cheap coat be a good coat?

Saw this randomly in M&S yesterday, and I love the colour. Might disagree with the buttons too much though. But is only £90?? For a whole winter coat?

I am very clearly looking at this coat and actually seeing SJP's

Not a terribly accurate comparison!

A little Mulberry to call my own

Finally!!! Although still about five months earlier than I'd planned, so I'm still a little dizzy from the impulse buy. So this should in theory make me a proper, bone fide grown up. Hmm. Still a ditz...just now a ditz with a good bag!

Autumn (some more)

Clearly Paul Smith RTW is the inspiration for everything I wear this autumn! Today wearing blue shirt, chinos, oversized charcoal grey cardigan and ivory brogues, along with my glasses on a cord (so determined to make that work!) I don't quite look like this, but its near enough to work in my head! Plus bonus points for being super comfy.

Such great trousers - doesn't help with my greedy desire to buy the J Crew cropped trousers in a sort of puce colour. Heaven!

I think the look above is probably my favourite, but I suspect just because the camel looks amazing soft and cosy and comfortable!

Loving the polka dot trousers. The look below, with the knitted waitscoat and the tie is a pretty close second to favourite. If I wasn't so big I'd definitely try wearing a tie. Taught myself to tie a bowtie a few weeks ago, only to discover that disppointingly, it is not a look I can pull off! Too tall, and generally not enough like Rachel Bilson for it to look cute.
