Fall lovin' !

It's currently 1.10 in the a.m. Armed with a hot cup of milo sat within arm's reach and attempting to fight sleep from consuming my eyelids - perfect combination to start getting back into the swing of blogging, isn't it? haha. Whilst I've been MIA (sorryyyy!), I've amassed a completely new wish-list for the fall.. what's new.. hah.

1) Black (FAUX) fur coat

I've been eyeing up this black faux fur coat from Karl Lagerfeld for awhile now. Not only does it look extremely cosy, it's really quite the staple piece for the fall season (is this the side of me that's trying to justify the 390GBP price tag?). I already have a (faux) fur coat somewhere in my closet but its only a 3/4 length sleeve. I think the length of this particular coat is perfect! This is definitely going on my convince-my-mother-to-get-it-for-me list ;)


2) Sophia Webster cutout sandals

Yes, I'm aware that these probably aren't the most practical item.. Especially when taking into consideration the uneven cobbled streets in the UK. Oh, and not forgetting the most important factor - my ability to trip even while wearing flats. However, I doubt any explanation is needed as to why I just couldn't resist putting these on my list.


3) Alexander McQueen scarf

Scarves are pretty much synonymous with fall. 
I love how the edginess of McQueen's iconic skulls contrast with the girly blush pink color of this scarf.


5) Boxy (faux) fur gilet from Topshop


Topshop's boxy faux fur gilet - exactly why I like it.
I don't particularly like boxy-looking garments on my frame but I think it somehow works with this faux fur gilet.
I like the grey color. Still on the fence about the mustard color (according to Topshop's description, its lime??). I don't want to risk getting any big bird jibes. What do you guys think?


6) Nike Air Max leather sneakers 
I don't personally think of myself as a sneaker/sport shoes/nike person, nor do I partake in any form of exercise (proof: never seriously used a gym in my life). But after seeing these pair of shoes, I might consider taking up exercise (but don't count on it.. hah!).. If you do workout, you need a nice pair of shoes for every occasion. Therefore, you've reason to get these nikes on my behalf.. JUST DO IT!


7) Distressed jeans
Distressed jeans have been all over this fall season. Who doesn't want to pull off looking like a hobo with a touch of 'effortlessly cool'? hah. All jokes aside, I can't explain why I like looking like an effortlessly cool hobo that has just gotten into a fight with another hobo armed with a pair of scissors.. I just do, okay..
This pair is from Rag & Bone but if you're looking for something more affordable, many high street stores stock cheaper alternatives.


8) Pink platforms x Topshop
Even though it's fall, there's no harm sneaking in a pop of color to brighten up your outfit. Plus, there is no rule against being Barbie at this time of the year.. Now all I need is my Ken Barbie car ;)


That's all for now!
Leave me suggestions for upcoming posts in the comments down below on or on my ask.fm (ask.fm/fashfoodx)
I'll be going down to London this coming week so I'm hoping to that this trip will be fruitful in terms of blog posts (and shoppingggg) !
