Welcome to October, the most confusing time of year to get dressed in Seattle! One day you’re dealing with a torrential downpour and gale force winds, and the next, it’s back to being 70 degrees and sunny and you wonder why you ever bothered to pull your boots out of storage. It doesn’t help that everything cute seems to be suede, a fabric destined for destruction if exposed to the elements. (Short of a full-on Bubble Boy getup, I can’t come up with a way to protect against this. Any ideas?) For now, I guess I’ve got to settle for light, cozy layers. Or just stop going outside, maybe.

I’m obsessed with that drapey waterfall coat! And my fingers are crossed that the plaid scarf goes on sale sometime soon. What’s on your wish list right now?

I remember picking up some cute suede boots while I was living in Seattle, but I hardly ever had the opportunity to wear them because it was either raining or going to rain later that day π Loving burgundy lipstick though π
Aw, I feel your pain! If I ever do wear suede shoes, I have to carry backup footwear with me in case it starts raining. So not ideal. And yes, I love that lipstick too! Perfect for this time of year π
Oh the Nars VIP red looks amazing and I agree on the coat: a lovely look. Afraid I can’t wear it though, biking to work would be a bit chilly π
Oh that’s too bad! At least you can rock that lipstick though π
You’re not the only one obsessed with that coat. I just love coats like that. I am currently looking for one now. If you purchase it Amelia, you have to let us know how it looks on you girl. Great selections.

Thanks Kia, I definitely will!
Ahhh Mil your wish lists never fail to impress huni – can’t take my eyes of that NARS lippy it is GORGEOUS!!! In love *swoooon* XXXX
Ah Karen, it has me swooning too! I think if I ever get married I will just register at the NARS counter. I hope my future husband won’t mind. π
LOL LOL – what a fabulous idea!!! Honestly if I could only turn back time Mil I’d be doing the very same π XXXX
Hehehe tell me about it – our weather is crazy! For suede boots, you can get suede protecting spray. Search it online and you should find a few good options π

I’ve tried it! I guess I haven’t found anything hardcore enough…I’ll have to keep investigating. Thanks lady!
Our weather is so confusing! I love the waterfall jacket. Have you checked out Targets scarfs lately?! They have an awesome selection and a buffalo plaid scarf that looks identical to the Artizia one.
Ooh I haven’t! Clearly I need to get myself to Target immediately! Thanks for the hot tip π
Great picks! NARS has some amazing goodies this year’s holiday! π»ππΌ Have a lovely weekend! xx, Annie | Annieβs Beauty
