Lighter evenings and thinner coats, Spring is officially here! One of my favourite things about this time of year is being blessed with those lighter evenings again. All the more reason to spend those hours after work out and about enjoying yourself. I know I'm going to be saying goodbye to my dressing gown evenings! Of course, this means preparing your everyday outfits for the occasional spontaneity. Finding that perfect in-between outfit to take you from work chic to social butterfly.

After moving to Birmingham City Centre, I became pretty lazy when it came to shopping. I walk through the centre daily, so the thought of shopping there never really appealed to me. Online shopping became my go-to, yet so did the returns counter. So much so, I actually became a regular and made friends with a lovely lady at a Doddle stand. Safe to say, online shopping hadn't always been successful and shopping for myself was losing its enjoyment. So when intu Merry Hill invited me along on a shopping trip, the process of actually planning a day out to shop and treat myself felt exciting!

This week, I have pretty much tortured myself. Let's be honest, it's coat weather. BUT, I have lots of new cute rust-coloured blouses to wear first. I may have had my brolly dramatically ripped inside out, leaving a giant hole and metal stuck to my hair the other day but I'm still not having it. I've taken to wearing a scarf out instead. Guiltily sneaking out the door in the morning, avoiding looking at my rows of coats in the buttons. Don't get me wrong, I love getting cosy. Autumn is my absolute favourite! I'm just not sure that I'm ready to be cold yet (yeah I know, not wearing a coat does that too).

So the prolonged heatwave is finally coming to an end and my favourite season is almost in reach! I've only just started dressing Summer-appropriate, but I don't even care as I love Autumn! It truly is my favourite time of year. I love all of the tones outside and the fact that Halloween is on its way. The pumpkin and cinnamon flavoured everything, absolutely everywhere. I'm just completely excited to wear all those deep shades of green again. Honestly, I'm already eyeing up new scarfs to add to my collection, the ones that are the length of your entire body. Sweater weather is upon us and I just can't wait!
