Hello, my only one.

The Kooples leather jacket. A-line skirt: c/o Fashion Union. Oasis Lily knit: £3, via sample sale. Vintage bag: gift from Jazmine. Clarks loafers. Vintage tippet: £1, charity shop. Jana Reinhardt and Topshop rings.

It's pretty chilly out, isn't it? Where I live we had a grand two minutes of snow yesterday, but that doesn't mean the air was any kinder. With clear blue skies and the bitter winds which accompanied it, my mum and I headed out for a bite to eat and sat in a cosy sunbathed corner looking over rolling countryside. This does sound incredibly picturesque (it was, and the food was good), but that did mean wearing two coats to counter the length of the sparkly mini skirt and having flushed cheeks even in one of the rare moments I hadn't done anything embarrassing, I promise.

This week looks set to be a good'un. From dinner with work at Dishoom to a belated birthday bash with my babes at Sushi Samba (if only that started with a B too), I've got plenty of excuses to not let blue Monday get to me tomorrow, because if a formula is telling me I'm going to be sad, I'm going to try with all my might to make sure that it's the best day ever. Take that science.

Now I'm the king of the swingers.

Print shift dress: c/o Fashion Union. Missguided ankle boots. Rotary watch: gift. Elsie Belle masquerade necklace: £9. Sleek matte lipgloss.

Considering this is actually the entrance to work's car park, I think I've done a pretty good job of finding the vague dark green location I was looking for in order to photograph this amazing dress from Fashion Union. I've been a bit unfaithful to my usual colour palette of blues with burgundy this season, but I think it'll be coming back with a vengeance as the days get warmer and I have access to my entire wardrobe - miss u babe xoxo. This dress speaks for itself (anyone else think it's got some William Morris vibes? I definitely thought of WM fangirl Jazmine straight away!), so I didn't want to introduce any other colours and instead stuck with my trusty Missguided boots, favourite necklace and a nude lip. If you want to get this dress as well (which they also sell in pink) I'd recommend sizing up if you're in between sizes; I know I haven't been to the gym for a while, but it's not completely down to all that german beer!

Following on my last post's chat about being more personal, this week's been a bit of a mixed bag. Work launched its new tv commercial in P1 which meant lots of bloggers were around and there was a an amazing mid-week party, as well as finally trying out Burger House (which I cannot recommend enough oh my god), but it also meant saying goodbye to one of the closest friends I've made here. Cue, of course, checking how many days I've got left in Munich and several stressed whatsapps and skypes about how I'll be unemployed forever etc. In order to put my life in perspective, today's goals are to send out a few applications while letting my weekly hair mask does its thing, then head out to Olympiapark as I've heard talk of pedalos...

And, due to popular request (i.e. Jazmine and Amy asked for it), here is my lol face - enjoy!
