Emily Druce | Livin' in London town

If you know me you will know that I’m a bit of folk music head, you will also know about my love of cheap travel.
Now I have always had a particular fondess for Paris, ever since I went back when I was at school for a languages trip I was overwhelmed by the beauty and laid back lifestyle of the place. It’s just like jumping into a film noir masterpiece, and you have expect Bogart himself to offer you a roll up beneath some tawdry streetlight. I have been looking for an excuse to get to the city for a while now and finally I have one.
The brilliant duo that is have announced new tour dates and will be bringing them classical folk instrumental innovations to the city of love on December 1. I can’t wait.
Looking for some good cheap flights to paris as we speak!

Society will generally lead you to believe that diamonds are a girls best friend. This is not true. Diamonds are just rocks albeit very shiny very pretty ones. But that’s not that point that I’m trying to make anyway. Diamonds are nice. I like them, but best friend...nada.
Handbags. Handbags are a real girl’s best friend and resting solidly upon the top of my friendship tower is the Mulberry Bayswater.
This is an on-shoulder bag that is large enough to carry anything that you could necessarily need and small enough to fit every single circumstance. Not only that but it is classic and will never ever ever go out of fashion. Which is why I love it. It is however, unashamedly pricey but, at least you know that its quality.

Since being a little girl I’ve always had an interest in the Aztecs. I know it’s not really that girly but there is just something absolutely fascinating about it.
Which is why I am currently completely and utterly over the freaking moon about what I have just booked..... a ticket to Mexico to go and check out the Teotihuacan city, the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon and yad adad dadayaaaaaaaaa who cares. There are some giant monuments that nobody understands how they were made and can only speculate about their use and I am going and it’s going to be hot and amazing.
Phew.
I can not wait.
Photo opps galore.

All my pennies this month are going to be saved for an Aviator Jacket!
The aviator jacket updates the current leather jacket and with it’s shearling collar it is bound to keep you cosy.
Burberry, Pringle and Julien MacDonald have all featured the jacket in their collections, so it’s sure to be one of the biggest trend of autumn.
My favourite jacket so far I have seen is from: Asos and it is £110! I am counting my pennies already!

Whilst thinking about what I need to kit out my autumn wardrobe with, I have come up with (what I think!) are the top five trends for autumn:
1. The catwalk has gone crazy for the ‘Mad Man’ look, (or otherwise known as the lady-like look) inspired by the hit US show. The retro 60’s look with its shift dresses and clinched in waists, can give all women an hourglass figure. Finish with a pair of leather gloves and a ladylike headband.
2. The colour of this season has to be CAMEL. A tailored pair of camel trousers, with a roll neck jumper and a thin belt is my favourite.
3. Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea, but Gothic Glam has been strutting down the catwalk too. The obvious dark colours, metallic look and lace will make this trend work.
4. Another one of my favourite trends is Long Hems, the reason: I can keep my summer maxi dress! ‘Warm’ your favourite summer maxi dress up with chunky knitwear and a big belt.
5.The ‘Country’ Lookinvolves the comfy and classic pieces. Leather boots, knitted jumpers and woollen skirts. All in brown, beige and grey.
