Autumn is here. Damn autumn. I’m getting more and more tired and mornings have turned into agony. I get out of bed wihtin seconds of my alarm going off. I have to, or I’m going to fall right back asleep. Warm scarves, cardigans, leg warmers and boots are my go to items of clothing to keep me feeling warm and cosy.

On this one particular day though, a day for flea markets and garage sales, I was full of energy and feeling happy and optimistic. It was a fantastic day, I found many gorgeous xmas gifts, two more toy sewing machines to add to my collection and a fantastic rya rug, among other things.

Autumn hit a few days ago. October came with winds and hail, rain and clouds and we admit defeat. We put our coats on, bring in our duvets and remember the mild summer days when the grain was growing still and the sun woke us up early in the mornings.

This blog is turning into a FATshion blog. Whatever happened to the flea market finds? Well I feel inspired and I’ve been better at getting photos taken.

I bought the (in)famous domino dress by Beth Ditto at Evans and I’ve been using it quite a bit. It’s seen early morning flea markets, the insides of grocery stores and now it’s also come with me to work.

I love the way it hugs my body without clinging too much. I used to hate my belly but nowadays I even think it’s a bit sexy. What an amazing transformation.
