My Autumn Staple is going to be...

..well, obviously the maxi dress as I've already mentioned but as well as that - don't all hate me - a maxi skirt. 

I haven't done one of these for ages, even though it seems like I'm talking about them all the time, or maybe it's just that I wear one so often. 

And there in lies the justification for another blog on them as they are simply so useful.  Plus whenever I wear one I am always being asked where they're from.  So here we are with what is available now. 

Wear them now, wear them into the Autumn with ankle boots and trainers.  

The overriding theme of the skirt this season seems to be tiers and ruffles.  Which sounds really scary.  But I promise you, it's not.  These are perfection.  Ok so remember I mentioned the other day my Gone with the Wind/Les Mis obsession, for me, it's the fuller the better.  I want ALL the flounce. 

This outfit - would it be wrong of me to have earmarked it already for Christmas Day?!

We are having the most chilled out weekend, lazing around in the sunshine.  Swimming and BBQing.  Perfect.  Feeling very laid back indeed.  Well - apart from have very much messed up on today's dinner.  Let's do ribs, I said.  The husband remembered seeing a recipe for beef short ribs in the Telegraph the other week.  So we had a Mr & Mrs cooking prep.  And then realised that they take FIVE hours.  Eating at 10pm chez nous then.  Duh.  Will let you know how they turn out.  They smell completely epic.

Tomorrow, I'm back with a random one.  Have a big event coming up shortly which I need to wear a certain colour for.  And it's a tricky one.  Hence I'm dragging you all along withe me on my mission.  It is for a very very good cause thought...

Hope everyone else is having a fabulous weekend.  And gets to eat their BBQ before midnight!
