Autumn Attire



Dress - H&M / Jacket - Primark / Necklaces - Primark & Urban Outfitters

Berry colours are quite possibly my fave Autumn trend. Maroon, burgundy, oxblood, cranberry, whatever you wanna call it, I am obsessed with it. I spotted this lovely dress in H&M and knew it was the perfect piece for Autumn 2012. I think the little leather peter pan collar is such a gorgeous finishing touch. Its probably more of a tunic than a dress though because its ridiculously short! My lipstick is Illamasqua Magnetism, I love that it matches the colour of my dress perfectly. I've been wearing this all the time recently. I love my gold 'C' necklace from Primark too, such a bargain at just £1.50!

I don't normally like to get too personal on my blog posts but I am having what is quite possibly the worst week of my life and keeping things bottled up is only making it worse. On Saturday my fiance of three years decided that he doesn't love me anymore. He took a bin bag full of clothes and moved into his mums house. All my attempts of reconciliation have been put down. I feel sick constantly. I can barely eat or sleep and I've cried all week long. I've wanted to blog to take my mind off things but it was hard to do any outfit or makeup posts with puffy eyes from crying so much. Its bad enough that he's left me but it breaks my heart that he's left Chloe too. Looks like I'm joining the ranks of the single mums. Any tips on how to get over a big breakup? Could really use a hug right now :(

  6. Oh, I love this outfit! So pretty! I'm obsessed with burgundy right now too. Can't get enough of it! I'm terribly sorry to hear of your heartbreak. The best thing you can do is just to focus on you and your little one. Watch loads of Disney and light-hearted films together, bake cupcakes, have a dance party, etc. Her love and happiness will rub off on you! And definitely make time to have a girl's night out with close friends! Allow yourself the days to wallow and with more time, you'll slowly get into a new routine and be happy again. <3

  10. I'm so so sorry to hear your news, it must be terrible and I can only tell you it will get better, even if it takes a while. Like others have said, just try and focus on you and your beautiful girl and make plenty of time to see friends and family, they're really your rock through breakups, they're what got me through my past ones. I hope things turn around for you, you deserve so much better than someone who could walk out on you, you fabulous girl, and the lovely Chloe. Keep your chin up, sending love and plenty of hugs xxxxx

  12. Caroline, just look at those pictures up top there! You are stunning, he's a fool for leaving you. Just try and concentrate on Chloe lovely and try and get out and about - clearing my mind with a bit of fresh always makes me feel better. You're a fab mum! Keep it up!

    (Maybe listen to a cheeky bit of Beyonce too?)

  19. Oh I'm so sorry :( break ups are one of the hardest things to go through but especially when you've been together so long and there are children involved. It will get better honey I promise, although I know it doesn't feel that way now. Stay strong lady, you deserve someone who loves you unconditionally xx

  20. Oh beautiful <3 I can almost hear the sadness in your typing :( I'm so, so sorry for what's happened. It sounds so awful. It's bad enough breaking up with a boyfriend anyway so I can't imagine what it's like with a child involved. I hope you figure something out <3
    It will get better though! <3
    And despite all that's going on, you still look absolutely beautiful!

  22. Caroline, I am sending you so much love and hugs right now. I am at this moment going through the biggest break up of my life right now and I can totally understand how you are feeling especially with the no eating and sleeping. I am here to talk always, you can message or email me whenever you want. I know anything I say probably wont help but I understand what you are going through.

    Lots of love xxxxx

  26. You rock the autumn trend so well :) I'm so sorry to hear about what's happened.. if he's the type of person who would walk out on you and Chloe then maybe you're better off without him! Hope you feel better soon and we're all here for you if you need us :D xx

  29. Why he would want to leave his two beautiful girls is beyond me; I hope you and Chloe are doing ok.
    Berry colours are a great autumn trend, it really suits you! Xxo

  31. I am so sorry to hear what's happened. So tragic, he has lost such a beautiful fiance and daughter. You will be okay, just think how much Chloe needs you and focus on that. I hope things look up for you soon! xo

  32. Oh my god, you poor thing, what a complete bastard :( I'm a single mother too - have been from the start - and it's hard work but there are some really beautiful moments when it's just the two of you, if that makes you feel any better (it probably doesn't!). Chin up, you're utterly beautiful and I'm sure you deserve far better xxx

  33. Oh Caroline :( So sorry to hear that. If someone would walk out on a child they aren't really a descent human. What a git. Hope you and Chloe are having a lovely Sunday xxx

  35. So trying to find that dress on H&M online but struggling!! It is gorgeous and one of my favourite colours all year round.

    Really sorry to hear about you and Andy, onwards and upwards - could be the start of something amazing!

  36. That dress is gorgeous, I absolutely adore berry shades and have been rocking my Cheryl cole berry lip all week!

    I'm really sorry to hear your bad news, I know from experience that nothing anyone else says will make you feel better right now, it does take time and I remember getting fed up of people telling me that I would get over it and time was all it took but it really does. Who knows things might work out for the best but just know you have us all to talk to if need be. I can't even begin to imagine what you're feeling considering you have Chloe too but things will start looking up after the initial shock dies down. Sending you lot's of love your way! xxxx

  37. Oh Caroline,
    so so sorry to hear your bad news. it's never easy to part from somewhere, and i can only imagine how hard it must be with little chloe too.
    you're a fantastic and wonderful mum, and you'll do her proud. we're all here for you caroline. sending you a huge hug xxx

  39. Came across this dress on ebay and wasn't sure about it, so searched for it on google images- came up with your page, and definitely persuaded me to buy it! looks great, and thanks for the outfit idea!:).

    Quick question though, what shoes did you put with this outfit? I'm trying some suede black lace-up pixie boots, but I can't tell if they work or not...xx
