So this has ended up being a post about Burgundy!!!!

This has accidently ended up being a shrine to the Autumn/Winter shade that is Burgundy...With pay day only a week away (hurry up) and a much thicker, warmer, chunkier (have I justified enough yet) wardrobe very much needed, this post was supposed to be a snippet of the key pieces I'll be investing in over the coming weeks, however true 'Sophie' style I head straight to the deep, warm pallets of burgundy (several tones maybe but still Burgundy)and still TOPSHOP!!!!! (of course)


I will obviously need a nice new winter dress to replace the ever worn tie-dye jersey of the summer

I will obviously need to keep my head warm...well I can pretend thats what its for

I will obviously need a daytime to evening jumper

I will obviously HAVE to have a new pair of boots

Up on the roof

Miserable, grey, rainy, Friday afternoon in the middle of September...who would of thought that 6 days ago we were still basking in (well maybe a slight exaggeration but I was in the garden in a strapless dress on Saturday afternoon anyway) It seems pretty safe to say that with the dullness of today and the chills of the last couple of days that Summer (or what we saw of it yet again) has left us for another year. So to cling onto the hopes of an Indian summer...at least until we hit October heres a very belated post on an outstanding summer venue for evening cocktails.





Its hard to believe that in the midst of busy Regent Street you'd be able to find somewhere as tranquil, chilled and definitely a place to be seen. Aqua Spirit overlooks Regent Street, Oxford Circus, Argyll Street....well Soho in general from its fabulous rooftop location. Exotic cocktails, refined, holiday reminiscent sounds and if your lucky enough to time it right an amazing sun filled skyline of the capital city.







Lets pray for some crispy autumn lunchtimes/ evenings so that we dont have to leave it another year before returning.

Branching out...

Black lace overlay...Check
Colour of the season - purple...Check
Sleeves (for those less arm confident in the summer without our healthy summer tans)...Check
Elegance yet also 'rocky'...Check
£40 from French Connection...Check

Yes you read that last one correct, French Connections LFW dress this season checks all the boxes against this Autumn/Winters must have style, colour and fabric and at £40 its a total snip
