Book club & choir! You're amazing! How do you do it all?! I haven't read a book since I started blogging! Shameful I know! The I print scarf is stunning! Ax

I'm impressed with your mirror selfies;) Love your ebay finds, need to have a hunt online! Think I'm getting ready to start shopping for scarves again!!

That was a good plan! We get gorgeous scarves into my charity shop too...it's a great place to pick them up inexpensively. Yes, I think from now on, it's a scarf every day. Lovely to hear from you again Ellen, hope you are well! Avril x

My sister raves about them for the kids but I was always too tight to pay for it! But it makes perfect sense for us mums as you wear bretons and basic tops for years. I have one from a less expensive shop that I only got a year out of and it was in the charity bag. False economy for such a classic wardrobe item x

Haha - I'm only good at harmony and ooh-ing and aah-ing....I'm an alto you see! But I'm good at Karaoke...do you think Marlene has a Karaoke machine in her house?! Haha! x

Oh my...I sobbed all last night finishing it. And am still thinking about it today!
Regarding the BF jeans - defo no to ankle sock peepage. I get those awful foot covering things - and depending on the cut of the boots, the sport socks that just cover your feet can work. Always get them in the colour of the boot so they are as discreet as possible xx

2013-09-12T14:30:08.444+01:00

Oh I know you should have - there were a few pairs and smaller ones too! Don't think about it - I'm just relieved I got them as I had no money that day and dithered and dithered! Ax

2013-09-12T14:29:23.200+01:00

I'm happy too - love my ankle boots and my toes have had enough exposure this summer! Ax

Hi Avril, really cold over here in Warwickshire - yep the temperatures have really dropped + the evenings, in particular, seem very chilly. I came to work yesterday without a scarf and as it turned windy (and I don't 'do' wind) I had to go out at lunchtime and buy one! Managed to get a lovely grey + pink ex New Look one from a local charity shop and I'm actually wearing it as I type this!
Have a good day,
Ellen x

Avril, I love that shawl! I've worn Petit Bateau bretons for years and years. In fact, most of my basics are from PB along with nearly half of Lil L's wardrobe too. Lovely quality and they just last and last.

I'm so happy that we can finally get out the autumn tops and scarves.

The burgundy scarf works so well with the navy breton and grey bag - the colours really suit you. Love it. :-)

(Off to check out your choir...)

I cannot wait to hear you sing! Please sing for me...

2013-09-11T13:55:15.932+01:00

I cannot wait to hear you sing! Please sing for me when/if we meet in October

So happy Autumn is here and we can wear our scarves again!

I reviewed The Light Between Oceans last year and loved it...when I stopped crying! I have a little query re the BF jeans as I'm considering dabbling ... how to wear them in cooler seasons. Would socks peeking above ankle boots look silly or not?

You look lovely in all of your outfits Avril. Always an inspiration xxx Love Liz xxx

2013-09-11T11:19:30.833+01:00

Looking forward to pulling out the coats and scarves myself, had my first one on a few days ago but it was more down to having a stinking cold than actually needing it, but I would say they will be in full force this weekend looking at the abysmal day outside! Love those jeans, wish I had went and had a look for them at the time you got them Avril. Oh well my Zara ones are serving me well at the minute!x

Loving the first outfit with the 'I scarf', boots and H&M jacket. It's amazing how quickly the temperatures have dropped - I was in the city centre yesterday and everyone was wearing coats and scarves. (And have to admit, there's a little part of me that's really happy to see Autumn return!)
