Autumn/Winter 2011 Excitement!

Hi guys, I must must must apologise for extreme lack of posts, I know probably no one reads this, but I like thinking someone out there does! 


I have been busy with working and all sorts of adventures goin on in Charlotte-land. 


I have also been doing lots of reading and formulating my idea of a wardrobe for my favourite season.....Autumn/Winter - there has been so many themes mentioned, I still think that knitwear will be a big YES YES this year so much so as classic patterns such as tweed, hounds-tooth and tartan. 


So this would also beg the question of how to make up your self to look lovely and autumnal to go along with your awesome outfit?

I have to give a HUGE thanks to the brilliant Elle magazine, since reading this amazing magazine ( i did a half price sub at London Fashion Week) I have gained so much knowledge and also confidence, their articles are amazing and the people they interview who I would maybe not have made much of before have really turned my ideas around of them.
I feel so much more confident and focussed on what things I want to buy and which things will suit me. I feel I will be a life time subscriber to this magazine - and thats not a fickle statement! 


Well I have a few ideas. I still plan to keep it subtle. I believe warm browns/golds either metallic or matt with a little bit of very dark brown/black smudge on the outer corners of the eyes.  Then for the face, well I am trying neutral foundation with a nice warm peachy foundation to add a bit of traditionial rosy cheek to the equation. 
To finish off......I hear that scarlet/post box red lips are the way forward, however I am a big lover of Avons 'totally twig' shade of Extra Lasting Lipstick, it says 8 hours use, however you do need to top it up every so often. 


I have attached some pieces within this post that I will definitely be buying, there is a such a huge market at the moment I am struggling to decide where to go! 
My old favorites such as H&M, River Island, Peacocks, F&F @ Tesco (I know its mad....but there stuff looks amazing online!!!) and then the slightly cheaper but by no means inferior Primark & Matalan.
