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?!

Wishlist

Boots - Ever Ours
Skirt - eBay
Michael Kors Watch
Hat - The Native State
Sunglasses - ASOS

Just a few things on my wishlist at the moment.

I'm loving these Lita copies from Ever Ours and at £25 you can't go wrong!

I fell in love with this sequin skirt when it was on Miss Guided but it sold out so quickly, luckily I found it on eBay so I'll probably be getting it soon. Perfect for Christmas coming up.

I'm still wanting a Michael Kors watch, I haven't actually owned a watch for years so it would be nice to have a lovely one. I may spend my Christmas money on this.

I adore this hat from Lovely Bird but it's a little expensive and pretty similar to one I already have. Anyway I just love the navajo print on it!

These sunglasses are so much like Ray Ban Wayfarer's and only £12, I've had them in my ASOS wishlist for so long, I better get them purchased soon!!

A Rare Sight

Coat - Vintage
Tee - Amplified
Jeans - Next
Boots - eBay
Bag - River Island
Belt - ASOS
Earrings - Primark

I am now the proud owner of a new pair of boots. I'm sure if you follow my blog you will have seen my Topshop Ambush boots in pretty much every post for the past year, and you will no doubt see them again, but I decided it was time to get something new. I came across these lovely boots on eBay and since I've wanted a pair of tan boots for a while I thought why not? They were a bargain £25 and are pretty comfy for a pair of eBay boots I must say. If you're after a pair of boots there are some awesome ones on eBay, I just typed in studded ankle boots and had to choose between about 7 pairs!

Today I have my hair up which is a very rare sight, I much prefer my hair down but today I looked like the wild man of borneo so it was the only option! I spent the day in town getting a few xmas presents, managed to sort quite a bit of xmas shopping which I'm pleased about and I now only have two people to buy for, accomplishment!

Until the next time...!

So this is my first proper outfit post since I moved in with my boyfriend, I was a little embarrassed doing these photos outside as there are so many houses around and I always feel like someone is watching me but I'm glad to be back with a new OOTD.

I picked up this jumper in Primark for £6 a few days ago and I love it, it's a lovely fine knit and is so useful for this time of year. I'm sure you're all so bored of seeing me wear these boots for the past year none stop so you'll be pleased to know I have some new boots ordered that are not black and are not called Ambush, they are pretty much the same shape though, what can I say?!

Incase you are wondering my nails are imPRESS in Tweetheart (glitter is Technic in Carnival) which you can get from Boots and Superdrug, they are fantastic for a quick manicure and have lasted me 9 days so far, the box says up to 7 days so I'm happy with that. I would definitely recommend them for a special occasion, I'm going to get them in black for Christmas and New Year!

When I reach 200 followers I will be having a giveaway so please spread the word about my blog, I would really appreciate it!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Beautiful Dixi Pieces

These beautiful pieces from Dixi were waiting for me when I got home today. I fell in love with the rainbow druzy ring as soon as I saw it and there was only one available so I snapped it up, it's just as beautiful in person and is now my new favourite ring! I also got the Native Bull necklace which I love and I think will not leave my neck very often!! I'll definitely be buying more jewellery from Dixi in the future.

I spent the day with my boyfriend, mum and gran in Nottingham, we had dinner at the pub including amazing cheesecake and did a little bit of shopping before me and my mum went to watch the Real Techniques event at Boots with the amazing Samantha Chapman from Pixiwoo! She did a smokey eye demo before answering peoples questions about make up and I got a photo with her and my brush box signed, total fangirl moment haha!! She was lovely, nice was to spend my birthday!!
