Glitter Knit

Jumper : M&S Limited Collection
Disco Pants : American Apparel
Boots : Primark
Gilet : Primark
Watcher : Micheal Kors
Jewellery : Spirit Child and Various

I picked up this beautiful sparkly jumper from M&S in the sale reduced from £35 to £17. I really love glittery knit in the winter months, adds a bit of glitz to an everyday outfit. I think I own about 6 jumpers of the glitter knit variety and they are a staple in my winter wardrobe. I have had this gilet for about 6 years but really need to get myself a black one.

Can you believe it is only 28 days until Christmas? This year has gone so fast, can't believe it's Christmas already. Time to put the tree up next week! I have spend my day off wrapping the presents I have so far and writing on cards. I have done well to get 70% of my Christmas shopping done before December this year, I'm usually so late with it.

OK thats all for now!! Until next time...

Biker Coat

Coat : New Look
Jumper : H&M
Disco Pants : American Apparel
Boots : Primark
Hat : Dorothy Perkins

Last year I got a coat and thought it would last me years with it being from M&S. However it's made of boucle and looks like I've had it 10 years now. So I ordered this lovely one from New Look with a 25% off code making it £37 instead of £50, such a bargain. The coat is such beautiful quality, so soft and looks like it will last years. I love the biker style of it and the silver detail. After seeing these photos I'm a little unsure. As much as I love it I'm unsure on the length, being a midget I think it's too long for me and I'm not keen on the way it looks like it sticks out at the bottom. If it was a few inches shorter it would be perfect which is a shame as it's the best one I've seen in the shops. I did have my eye on the H&M biker coat but since I will have gotten through half of Winter without a coat before it gets delivered (estimated delivery 23-27th December, really?!) I won't be bothering with that one. My jumper was an eBay bargain at £5, despite the fact I ordered it in the wrong size I do love it and it's perfect with disco pants, I'm certainly not brave enough to leave the house with my bottom on show on these beauties! My boots were £18 from Primark, I'm a little in love with them to be honest, they are so comfy and a bit higher than I usually go for so I feel a bit more grown up (which can only be a good thing with me now being 27!!) and hopefully people think I'm at least 21 now instead of 16?!

Hope you are all enjoying the cold weather!
Until next time....

Fluffy Knit

Jean : Primark
Top : New Look
Cardigan : Primark
Boots : Customised by me
Necklaces : Spirit Child Jewellery

So I spent today wandering around pet shops trying to find my dog a new bed, wasn't very successful I must say but came away with this cardigan, which wasn't from a pet shop. As soon as I saw it I knew it had to be mine! I wanted the same one last year but it sold out before I had the chance. It's so warm and fluffy, I will probably live in it when it gets colder. They also have it in dark green and burgundy but I thought black would go with everything. May have to nip back for the burgundy one though! The jeans were a bargain at £8, even if they last me one season (which they won't, I've had Primark jeans last me years!) they would still save me a lot of money. I love burgundy at the moment, it's the perfect autumn colour and I'm hoping to get a burgundy fedora at some point.

On to my boots. You may or may not have seen these beauties over at Wild & Free Jewellery. As much as I love them I can't justify £100 plus shipping from America for boots at the moment. So I remembered I have a pair of cowboy boots that never get worn, why not make some myself? I literally cut my boots down the back, folded them over and added lots of broken and worn out belts. I'm yet to stitch up the backs but love how they have turned out so far. Love a good bit of DIY!

I'm off to make myself a cuppa tea and chill with the puppy, until next time! <3

A post that doesn't include Topshop ambush boots, this is an accomplishment! My feet were pretty cold with no socks on but style came first here! Hopefully you can see this jumper a little better here, it's so pretty in real life but it's hard to capture the sparkle on camera.

This was yesterdays outfit, I had a photoshoot with my favourite model in the snow. Every time it snows I really want to do a shoot but everyone is snowed in, so this year I made sure it happened. Really pleased with the photos. Today I spent the day filming a music video for my boyfriend in the snow. It's the first time I've ever done anything with video before but I've started putting it all together and it looks awesome so I'm looking forward to filmimg some more and finishing it! A music video is something I've wanted to do for ages. I'll show you all on here when it's done!

Right thats enough from me today, thanks to everyone who comments on my posts and follows, I really appreciate it!!

It has been snowing for a few days in England now and I love it, I'm like a big kid as soon as it starts snowing, you would never guess I was 26! I'm glad I got chance to do some outfit pics in the snow today before I trecked into town.

I'm loving khaki and teal at the moment and this jacket is my absolute fave, it was a bargain £25 from good old Primark but I haven't had much chance to wear it so I thought I'd give it a go today even though it was freezing out! Luckily these jackets are still in style this coming season too. I popped into Primark while I was in town today and they have some lovely things new in for Spring, I have my eye on a few pieces including some aztec denim shorts and some studded light denim ankle grazer jeans, yum!

Lincoln

Coat - M&S Limited Collection
Jumper - H&M
Disco Pants - American Apparel
Scarf - Primark
Boots - Topshop (I need to stop wearing these so much!)

Another rather boring outfit from me today but it was seriously cold in Lincoln and it started snowing on the way home, which I love! I spent the day wandering around the city with my family, had dinner at the Handmade Burger Co which was so yummy and had coffee at Starbucks. I really like Lincoln, it's a very pretty place to visit.

You can't see in these photos but this is my absolute favourite jumper, it was from H&M for a bargain £14.99 and its so sparkly in real life, you can get yourself one here in the sale, very tempted to get it in another colour!

Hope you're all enjoying 2013 so far, can't believe it's nearly the end of January already, time really does fly these days.

Helsinki Outifts.

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had fun celebrating the start of 2013. I spent the end of 2012 in Helsinki, Finland, my favourite city ever, with my mum! It's a magical place and this was my 4th time there, I hope to go back again sometime. Unfortunately it was raining this time and the only snow I saw was on the ground but we still had an awesome time. It amazed me that the local Finns can walk so easily on ice, even in heels, yes heels, without falling over. I opted for biker boots because I'm not Finnish and I'm like Bambi on ice! Finnish girls, tell me, how do you do it?!

I tried to travel light so my outfits included the same fur coat (which I definiately regretted once it started raining!) and boots with a change of jumper (it was pretty cold even though it was above freezing for most of the time, the other times I've been it's been at least -10!) and accessories.

New Years Eve

We went to a gig for New Years Eve and I wore my new sequin skirt which I've wanted for ages with a tee from the mens section of Primark. I wanted to look New Years Eve but also like I was going to a gig. I hate looking the same as everyone else in band tshirts and baggy jeans at gigs, I wish people would put some effort in, just because you like rock music doesn't mean you can't get dressed up!

And now some pretty photos of Helsinki...

I had a fantastic time in Helsinki, I love the place so much, it's a beautiful, quiet, magical place, the locals are so lovely and polite and it's a place I always feel safe in. I would definitely recommend it if you don't mind the cold!

My Perfect Winter Wardrobe

A Classic Black Coat : A good quality classic black coat can last you years. I always have a black coat and they usually last me a good 2-3 years as I always get a style that won't go out of fashion for a few years. I love plain coats with not too many details so I can dress them up with a fur collar.

Metallic Jumper : You can't go wrong with a metallic knit jumper in the Winter, even if they are not a top trend that season, they are perfect for Christmas day or Winter shopping trips and a bit more glam than a normal jumper.

Chunky Jumpers : A little obvious but a nice quality knit jumper is essential for the Winter. I love cable knit, grey and aztec patterned jumpers this year. Team with jeans and a nice coat with ankle boots for the perfect look.

Fedora : A lovely accessory to dress up any outfit or cover a bad hair day. I adore fedoras and would have one in every colour but blood red & rust are lovely for Winter.

Snood / Scarf : Of course we all like to keep warm when it's cold outside so find the perfect scarf and you won't go cold! I currently love snoods as you get no annoying end bits hanging down and they are so warm especially the extra long ones you can wrap around a few times! I'm also a sucker for a lovely patterned shawl, perfect for travelling as they double up as a blanket!

Ankle Boots : I am a big lover of ankle boots, they go with everything! A classic pair of black ankle boots will serve you well over the Winter months and can be worn with jeans, dresses, skirts, day and night! I love wearing my ankle boots with metallic knit socks underneath for some texture.

Little Black Dress : I recently got a black wrap dress and wish I'd got one sooner, they are so versatile and easy to wear. I love wearing mine with tights, waist belt, ankle boots and a big coat with a fur collar.

Black Skinny Jeans : Another obvious one but black skinny jeans are my wardrobe essential, they go with everything and if you're stuck for something to wear you can always go for black jeans and build your outfit around them.

Sequin Mini Skirt : A perfect Winter item, can be worn in the day with a jumper and biker boots or for a party with heels and a top. I love sequins in the Winter, day or night, they add a bit of sparkle to any outfit.

Little Black Dress

Dress - Boohoo
Belt - Primark
Boots - eBay
Jacket - Primark

I've been looking for a little black dress I can wear day and night for ages but dresses tend to make me look young due to my height or lack of. I decided on a wrap dress and found this one for £15 at Boohoo. It's really versatile and can be dressed up and down. I went for this belt I picked up from Primark to add a bit of sparkle along with the jacket. This was actually a day outfit I wore for a bit of Christmas shopping but you can dress it down more with flats or chunky boots and a cardigan or dress it up with platforms and a leather or sequin jacket for a party or drinks night.

Do you have a favourite little black dress?!
