Just looking back at these photos gives me the warmest fuzziest glow, sure my hair is thrown into a ready to wash ponytail but I've got my hot chocolate with marshmallows and my two favourites by my side so life is more than alright. As the clocks have officially gone back (did someone say Christmas?) we decided to make the most of the daylight hours last Sunday and take a stroll down to the park, something we try to do most weekends as there's nothing worse than spending the day being cooped up at home. Both Craig and I are big believers in going outdoors whenever we can especially with Sadie as there's so much focus on tech nowadays that sometimes you need to step away from it all and get a dose of fresh Autumnal air to blow the cobwebs away.

This week signalled the beginning of November which means it's officially time for cosy fires, mince pies, thermal vests and all the festive flavoured hot chocolate I can manage. Whenever I buy anything new it's always the first piece I want to wear when deciding on my outfit for the day so it'll come as no surprise that this leopard print knit was at the top of my to wear list. With its flared sleeves, super snuggly fabric and subtle leopard pattern this jumper is firmly becoming a wardrobe fave especially when teamed with the jeans I rarely remove from my behind. Say hello to the crop kick flare jean, a style of denim I never thought I'd be able to pull off but after hearing my friend Claire had snapped up a pair I was dying to give them a bash myself. I don't know if it's the dark wash, raw hem or the perfect not too cropped length but they seem to elongate my legs no end and for that Topshop I'm eternally grateful. Now my loafers need no introduction as I cannot stop wearing them, they're so comfy and I love how well they work with my cropped jeans right now even if my ankles are starting to feel the chill.

One of my favourite things about this time of year is outerwear, I own far too many coats for one person but they're a piece of clothing that can make a huge difference to a simple outfit so with this in mind I thought it was high time I added an aviator, Acne inspired jacket to my collection and out of all the high street versions I've seen Warehouse have absolutely nailed it. The faux fur is so soft that Sadie likes to bury her head into it, pretending to go to sleep and it literally goes with every outfit from casual to drinks with friends. I also like how it doesn't feature a belt as aren't they just a faff when you want to throw on a coat and go? Answers in the comments. In fact Warehouse are on top form with their coats this season as this is another winner. Who wouldn't want to look like a teddy bear?

What do you make of my Sunday strolling attire? Have you been mixing up your denim styles?
