Our favourite season is creeping in; the streets are flooded with golden leaves with the perfect amount of crisp to crunch.  All its autumnal colours are usually washed out after a few weeks with the dreaded dullness of winter, but before the cold aches set in people seem excited by the idea of winter thanks to autumn and its new batch of coats. The coat is essential for winter not just for the obvious but it dominates all of your outfits, it’s your best friend that becomes your enemy towards the end of the season so be wise when choosing your stylish armour kids...

Here’s what we’ll be sporting this winter and a few favourites we’ve found.

Throw away fashion is something that really upsets us. Like animal lovers we love, care and rescue clothes, self confessed clothes lovers. Fashion and us, have had a long platonic romance. We've had our ups by chance stumbling upon each other in charity shops and our downs by falling out of love with those beautiful shoes that truly break our soles and finally after being in denial of a top that just doesn't do it for us anymore, we break free from our relationship yet still keep it hidden in our wardrobes as a fond memory. That’s the problem; we’re hoarders, we hate to throw away clothes...they shape and decorate our life’s.

Chelsey recalls reading somewhere that Paris Hilton would wear an outfit and would never be seen in it again! This shocked her and propelled her into thinking; can I wear that dress I wore last Saturday again? This thought soon died after realising Paris Hilton's favourite colour was pink and she’s a multi millionaire who can afford to be fickle with fashion. In contrast to Paris, Chelsey literally wears her clothes out! She had a pair of trainers that she stapled together until her mum secretly threw them away.

We've been anticipating, daydreaming and avoiding doing our first post like the plague... so in order to overcome our fears of first blog post-itus we’re diving in at the deep end. As our first attempt we apologise for waffling however become accustomed to our pointless rants. 

The blog is a platform for us to vent all things fashion, preferably affordable fashion as we’re penniless students who pine for a career in the industry. Recently Chelsey moved house to discover that she’s been hoarding a mountain of clothes, Megan conquered the mountain by forcing Chelsey to sell her clothes at a local car boot...it was a disaster and we plan to chip away at the mountain every Sunday.

so, the main reason for this car boot was to give chelsey's clothes a new home as there wasn't any room in hers. However all good intentions flew out of our bumbags, all morning we resisted exploring other stalls until we got hungry...

Pre Loved Leather Deer Clutch Bag £2

Regal Tin to be used as a money box 50p

Our ridiculously early morning was filled with cheeky bargain hunters, coffee, wasps and people watching. We wasn't as successful as we hoped but still came back with a £15 profit and fingers crossed we'll be a sell out at the next car boot.
