If You Go Down To The Woods Today

Today’s The Day The Teddy Bears Have Their Picnic

When I had finished editing these photos and uploaded them, instantly I started humming the Teddy Bears Picnic song, which is why the title is a play on that. I think it’s because I was in the park, which can also be woodland, and I was wearing my Topshop Teddy Borg Coat that you have seen before, and the two just combined together in my mind.

Adam and I shot these photos a few weeks ago in the park when the Autumn leaves were at their best. I love Autumn (as you all know off by heart) and luckily this year we managed to do so many Autumn leaves shoots that I am over the moon. Usually every season we only get a few, but I have around 6 more to share with you after this set, so it might be heading into Winter once I’ve finished sharing them, ha ha.

For my outfit, I was wearing my Topshop Teddy Borg Coat, as I mentioned, and layered it over my Topshop Funnel Neck Top in Beige. I thought the two shades were very similar, so they pair nicely together. I then added in my River Island Chenille Burgundy Scarf, which I got in the sale and it’s amazing! It’s so soft and cosy, plus the colour is rich and intense. I also wore a pair of Beyond Yoga Leggings in Black too, which I finished off with my Balenciaga Race Runners in Black.

Now I don’t tend to wear leggings very often at all as I don’t find them warm enough and they tend to show off the shape of my legs too much, which can make me conscious when they look a weird shape in some angles, but as I got these for my physiotherapy and enjoyed how comfortable they were, I’ve been wearing them in day to day life as well, so I definitely recommend them!

I also got these shoes ages ago! You probably remember my Balenciaga Race Runners review for the purple prune pair, but I wanted the classic black as well and it was a struggle trying to find the old style with the mesh toe instead of the leather toe, and I finally got them back in Spring, but hadn’t showcased them on the blog yet. The Race Runners are my favourite trainer actually as they’re so sleek and comfortable at the same time. They pair well with black leggings or jeans and really lengthen your legs. Anyway, this is just a comfy and casual outfit I wore to town and the park. What’s your thoughts on it? Lorna xx.

What I Was Wearing:
Coat – Topshop (similar)
Leggings – Beyond Yoga
Top – Topshop
Scarf – River Island
Shoes – Balenciaga

    You captured the beauty of Autumn, I’m ready for your Autumn series. Seriously thinking of getting Balenciaga footwear, either a boots or sneakers. These trainers are so cool!

    You took my back to my childhood with the Teddy Bear theme. I used to be obsessed with the cartoon and had a couple of stuffed Teddy Bears. Loving your teddy coat and the Balenciagas look cook in black.

    All the fall leaves look beautiful and they compliment your outfit really well! I love that teddy coat and the burgundy scarf. Almost all the leaves are gone here so I’m excited to see the rest of your fall leaves photos!

    You’ve got me singing that song in my head too now! We had it on a record when I was a kid so I know all of the words… I think… LOL Did you manage to have a picnic? 😉

    The coat looks so cosy and I think it looks perfect paired with the warming colour of your scarf.

    All your photos are wonderful and you look beautiful in those clothes. I think Teddy Coats is going to be a new trend and fashionable one. All your photos are lovely and those dresses make you more gorgeous.
