THE BIRDS ARE LEAVING

It is always as fascinating how they go from what seems like a total chaos into being perfectly organized.

(The middle on of the three houses in the first picture was my first ever home btw.)

SO MUCH COLOUR, SO MANY SHADES

Autumn is here and the colours of the park outside our house has changed.


I sat down a bit on my way in to town.


A little green still, but mostly shades of yellow, red and rust.


Yellow, red and rust - matching the colours of the trees :)


The light is incredably sharp.


It's hard to keep ones eyes open. (our building is the one between my head and my arm btw :)


Heading home.

Well that was yesterday; today however it is raining and they have threatened us with snow!

No way I say.

THE TIME OF LAYERING HAS BEGUN

Even if I'm not really layering anything in this outfit, you know, just a jacket over a dress and that does not really count for layering but anyway - it's the start on that season at least, a season that I do love, like stated before, almost more than summer. (Or at least or the romanticized image of it.) One actually gets to wear and combine almost anything one has in the wardrobe!

Too bad I have to work in between, otherwise I'd do nothing else that run around town and cafées in different gorgeous outfits during these few weeks before winter arrives and everything that has anything to do with clothing and getting dressed changes drastically.

Everything in the outfit is vintage, except for the shoes. They are just old.

IT'S GETTING DARKER BUT AT LEAST IT'S NOT THAT COLD.

Well hello global warming! I'm wearng my September jacket in November.

I've stumbled across warm weather in blogs lately as it seems to be especially warm for the season everywhere. But where bloggers in the norther part of the US blog about sunshine in something that almost resembles a very late indian summer and middle European girls enjoy nice warm autumn days at + 15 C, a mild November over here means +7 and rain. Sunshine or not, it gets dark a bit over 15 o'clock here already. And it will get darker for one moth still. Yey.

Everything I'm wearing is vintage except for the shoes (which btw are much comfier by now :)

RUBBER BOOTIES

Oh the joy of waterproof shoes!

(Although I have to confess, they are not the most comfortable ones. Totally ok for an hour or so, but not to walk in for hours. Ouch. But then again, few shoes are...)

SUBTLE AUTUMN COLOURS & SUNDAY BIKE RIDES

The warm afternoon sun could almost make one think it is still summer, but there are still some things giving autumn away: the shade of the light, a colder breeze and colours starting to pop up here and there, less green, more yellow.










And of course, the fallen leaves. More and more of them.
A great weather to bike in however!

AT THE CHANGE OF SEASON

The end of summer is somewhat always sad, even warm and perfectly fine sunny days feel like one is sort of fooling one self, since autumn is just around the corner. Not that it's all that bad, as I have stated that autumn kind of is my favorite time of season.

As the weather now has varied from cold, windy and rainy one minute and pretty nice and hot the next, and with rather chilly mornings I'm slowly starting to get into that autumn mood - over romanticizing the image of walks under colorful trees and clear skies, wrapped in big scarves, legs covered with warm stockings (you know, all those thing you are happy to get rid of as spring turns into summer...), wet leaves on the ground. My colours of choice change from pastels into classical september-y ones like plum, petrol, okra and brownish shades. These autumn vibes got even stronger when I went to pick up a parcel with some H&M things I''d pre orderd one hangover morning in June - tweed shoes, headbands and knits.

So, if I'd go all fashionista I'd say these were some of my autumn favorites for the soming season. (I don't really talk like that no but I guess I just said it anyway.)

Headband -New, scarf - Grandma's old.

Shoes - New, Stockings-old
