The above are the results of trip to buy a tripod hijacked by an entirely unplanned stopover in Zara. Obvs. Say hello to my accidental autumn essentials – a new faux fur, fedora hat and plaid scarf… 

I can’t find the coat and hat online (similar hat), must be different stock in the Portugal stores right now. The hat (and bowls) are actually Zara Home – honestly.how.do.they.keep.doing.it.on.the.fashion.and.homewear.front? – and I cannot wait to wear the coat&hat&scarf with a pair of skinnies…

Plus my new Stan Smiths, which I finally bit the bullet and tracked down on the internet despite so much low womens stock everywhere. Schuh, good old Schuh, is where I found them and home to two colours combos (white & green/white & navy) replete in sizes. I went for the navy – as everyone’s got the green – after pinteresting up a storm this yesterday…
