Winter Wardrobe Favourites

Hey everyone!

January is almost over (which I can't quite believe...) and I figured I ought to write something a little more upbeat after my previous depressing driving post... so the chilly weather prompted me to talk about (and show you) a few winter favourites in my wardrobe at the minute (excuse the posey piccies)...






Dr. Martens - Schuh
Coat - Topshop
Scarf - Topshop
Skirt - Primark
Gloves - New Look
Bag - Next

My ultimate winter favourite so far has to be my beautiful pastel pink Dr. Martens... I have searched for a pair of these boots to be in my size for SO long! I searched and searched and searched and was just having no luck; my size was continually 'out of stock'. Anyhow, me being me on Christmas day, browsed through the many sales online, and to my surprise, found one pair, in my size in the SALE on the Schuh website! I couldn't quite believe my luck and ordered them immediately. I LOVE THEM! Don't get me wrong, they did take some breaking in... but the pain is well worth it. They are so comfy now! I'd usually be a shoe size 6, but my friend, Ella, advised me to go a size smaller and I have no regrets and still manage to wear the beauties with a pair of thick snuggly socks. I never actually used to like Dr. Martens, however when I saw them in pastel colours with ribbons I was completely sold. Despite the fact I feel like I'm giving my legs a bit of a work out when I'm wearing them (haha) I think they act as a cute statement to any outfit.

I've enjoyed pairing my pink docs with my gorgeous Topshop coat I received for Christmas. I asked for this coat in a size up as I wanted it to be extra roomy and oversized. I feel it's the perfect length now; keeping me nice and toasty in this cold winter season! Whenever I wear it, I feel a bit like a giant lilac sheep as the coat seems to mimic that lovely woolly texture.

I absolutely love the colour combo of baby pink and lilac, and look forward to mix and matching my docs with many other outfits...

Hope you liked this post and are all wrapping up warm this winter!

Speak soon,

Alex

Jumping into my 18th in a Jumpsuit!

Hey everyone! So last weekend it was my 18th birthday (woop woop!), so I wanted to wear something sassy. Browsing through the Topshop website, a beautiful black jumpsuit caught my eye. I wasn't sure I'd pull it off, but I was too in love with it to not buy it... So it arrived, and I LOVED it! I love the elegance of the gathered sleeves and the v-neck line (it did seem quite low, but hey ho, you only turn 18 once!). I like how it isn't fitted, yet still singes in the waste with a cute detachable 'seatbelt' style belt (as I told my friends). Jumpsuit - Topshop £40 As you can imagine, I had to wear something to make my white chest look a bit less bare, so I decided  to pair my jumpsuit with a stunning multi-coloured rhinestone choker and a simplistic, delicate triple row gold necklace. My older sister was generous enough to let me borrow her beautiful Topshop black heeled sandals too!  Nails - No7 Stay Perfect Shade - Lovely Fuschia  Sq...

Cute Christmas Cocktail Outfit

Hey everyone! We're half way through December and guess what? It's Christmas soon!! Am I the only one who feels this year has just flown? Anyway, since turning the big 18, I've been out a fair bit getting myself into the Christmas spirit! So I guess I thought I'd share with you one of my 'going out for cocktails' outfits... Faux Fur Boxy Gilet - Topshop  £65 Long Sleeved Turtle Neck - New Look £15 Leather Shorts - Zara  £20  Stone Contrast Faux Fur Bar Top Bag - New Look  £19.99 Necklace - A Mystery... This beautiful fur gilet is perfect for keeping me cosy and toasty in this freezing December weather! I bought it last year in petites as I preferred the more cropped fit. I couldn't resist buying this adorable little fur bag to match the cream fur; it's surprisingly spacious too! Teamed with black leather shorts and a pastel turtle neck, I feel it's a good cute yet edgy combo (ahah!). I thought this pretty pearly necklace...

Tacky Teddies?

Hey everyone! Is it just me, or has Valentine's Day become some sort of massive hype this year? It's so much more of a bigger thing than it used to be (okay I sound like an old woman right now), but why do we all make such a big deal out of it? I think when you're single, you realise how much lovey dovey shizzle there is everywhere, but it just makes me think; why on earth would you spend so much money on some cheap tacky teddy bear when you could buy a beautiful bag... or dress... or even just a tasty box of chocolates for your girlfriend?! By the way guys, I am not against Valentine's Day whatsoever. I'm all for sending cards and sharing the love... however I will never be a lover of the tacky teddies. Speak soon! Alex x
