September 2014 will be fondly known as the month of Italy with me boldly making two trips to the land of my partial heritage, my mums a quarter Italian don't you know. One trip was for work and the other for play although I must admit the work trip was pretty fun, that could possibly be down to the amount of Italian produce I got to consume though. You may also notice there's nowhere near as many Instagram snaps on this months Story Of and I blame/thank Sardinia where we stayed for eleven days of no wifi bliss, who'd of thought I'd be happy without wifi? When I wasn't in Italy I was here, there and sort of everywhere with trips to Coventry for a friends wedding, Nottingham for a spot of birthday present buyin' and Manchester for a girly get together, not forgetting birthday celebrations galore - my nan, sister in law and favourite baby momma all became a year more fabulous. September you were packed to the brim with goodness, please be as awesome next year?

Obsessed With - Can I say Sardinia? It may feel like a lifetime ago but it doesn't mean I haven't thought about it every few days - the pizza, the fresh sea air, the gelato, the prosecco, the sun and the company all mounted to a pretty excellent holiday. Not forgetting my holiday soundtrack, Ed Sheerans X album - totally late to the party as per but my that boy can sing. I'm in awe.

In non travel news I've been pretty smitten with Essie duos and have adopted a Pokemon, gotta catch 'em all approach. I'm yet to find another nail polish brand with such an outstanding colour selection and a more perfect brush, all at a non offensive price point. This month I've picked up Fifth Avenue, Mint Candy Apple, Mademoiselle, Bahama Mama and Chinchilly. Can you tell I'm a little into them?

Lusting After - A few considered pieces to complete my Autumn wardrobe. First off is the elusive, doesn't make me resemble a 90s rapper faux fur jacket. Every Autumn Winter faux furs come to play but this year they seem to have exploded all over the high street. I need. Resembling an animal aside the other items on my fashion wish list are knitwear and faux leather skinny trousers. Knitwear is the ultimate cold weather staple and while I do enjoy a bargain I think knitwear is something you should throw a little more mula at, I mean who wants knitwear that only lasts one wash? I'm looking at you Topshop. Finally the tricky, must fit perfectly faux leather skinnys - last year it was River Island knocking it out of the park but this year they've changed them and I just don't adore the new style anywhere near as much. The search continues...

Excited For - This weekend. The boyf and I are off on a rather late but very welcome mini break to Norfolk. It's a place I've never visited and we're staying on an actual working farm which has accommodation in a converted dairy barn, sounds dreamy right? I'm hoping for walks on the beach (even if it's chilly), local fodder and possibly a trip to the hometown of many a YouTube star, Norwich. Recommendations for this neck of the woods are wholly welcome.

Did you love September as much as me? Any ideas where I can find the perfect faux fur, leather skinnys or snuggly knits?
