It's been a while since my last outfit post, a few months in fact, and I was starting to get a little anxious that I still wouldn't be well enough to post.  Autumn outfits are one of my favourites and I love the colours available this year, mustard yellow and burgundy red are two of my favourite autumnal colour combinations. Luckily last week I found myself able to stroll into the park behind my house to take some photos. It's a lovely park; it holds a kind of peace and stillness in an ever growing busy suburban jungle. Sometimes I can look out my window and see it's completely empty and at other times it's manic with footballers. The trees are beautiful but not yet in their golden orange prime.

For this outfit I went out of my comfort zone with this skirt from Sainsburys. I've only been shopping on my high street twice in the last six months, so being able to have a quick look at the local supermarket is sometimes the best I can get without sensory overload. I often find Sainsburys have good clothes that reflect current trends and at a reasonable price too. I've wanted to try a more figure hugging outfit for a while and this skirt was cheap enough for a little experiment. Im glad I tried something new.

I'm so excited about my new watch. It's been a long time since I owned a watch, in fact the last time I wore a watch I was in school, it was a stretchy linked number with a square face decorated with tatty teddies and far from the sophistication and style of my current watch. For the last year watches have been more on my radar thanks to Instagram and blog posts but I'd not seen a wood watch until I read about Jord watches on The Dainty Doll House's blog. The idea of sustainable, fashionable and well made timepieces appeals to me greatly. Fashion and nature are two of my favourite things and Jord have done a fantastic job at bringing them both together in their watch designs. I chose the Cora watch in Koa and rose gold. I love the colours and they have a lovely autumnal feel as well as being subtle enough to go with many other outfits. Thanks to the lovely people at Jord for sending out my watch, which, coming from America, I thought it would take over a week or maybe more to arrive, but a few days later my jolly postie was at my door with a joke or two and a box in hand. 

Inside was a beautiful wooden box, and inside that my even more beautiful watch, the craftsmanship that's gone into making my Cora watch is incredible. One of my favourite things about it is that if you turn it over and look at the back you can see all the inside mechanisms working away. 

Since I've started wearing this watch I've had a few people stop and ask me if it's actuallymade of wood, followed by a surprised look on their faces. It's definitely a conversation starter!
