Snow Chic

Coat - Topshop, Jumper - Topshop, Hat - Topshop, Jeans - River Island

So I thought I'd make use of the snow and show off my new Topshop buys. I know there is some mismatch with the colourings here but I find that when it's freezing and snow is on the ground colour coordination has to be pushed to the side for maximum warmth.
I have so many coats but not one that actually is a sensible colour, this navy one is as close as it gets to a colour that can be worn with most things. I think I need to invest in a black one for next winter.

My lovely Purple Cossack arrived yesterday and is only £7 from £22 in the Topshop sale, they still have some in stock so get on there quick!

I've actually had this jumper for a couple of weeks now but today is the first time I've worn it. I purchased it purposely to wear with these heart print jeans as I think the mint and the white go well together and the fact the hearts on the jeans are black it also matches the black 'O' on the jumper. As you all know I love pastel colours so this jumper was a must have and I would have bought it without needing something to wear with these jeans it just gave me a perfect excuse.

This jumper also from Topshop I think is gorgeous and I love the colour, but as they are quite similar and I've put myself on a clothing ban as of today I guess I better not buy it.

Although you can't really see it and my close up picture wouldn't upload for some strange reason I am wearing my MAC lipstick in 'Eloquent air' from their limited edition range 'Glitter and Ice' it is a gorgeous thick lipstick and it lasts for a long time without needing to be topped up. I've been told I look like an ice queen with this on and my lilac hair but I love it because it's so different from the usual pinks and reds that people wear.

Chocolate Moose

Despite being 19 I am without a doubt a massive child at heart. I love anything Disney, Hello Kitty, Barbie or any clothing/accessories with cute animals on. Due to this, I couldn't resist buying these super cute mittens in the ASOS 14 hour 50% off Winter Essentials sale on Sunday for only £6! They also do Snake ones which are also sweet but they didn't match any of my coats! :( Although no longer 50% off both pairs are still reduced, so I definitely recommend you purchase a pair! I have a massive thing for accessories at the moment especially mittens and scarves as they are so important to keep you warm in this chilly weather and make me feel super snug.

P.s I would just like to let you all know I am getting a Pug today! He is a little boy and I am naming him Albert! I shall post some pics up of him soon, I'm so excited!!!

Wonder Wedges

Wedges - £85

With winter being the party season we will all have lots of nights out coming up and New Years Eve always calls for a bit of sparkle in both the shoe and dress department, so whilst shopping online at Miss Selfridge the other day I spotted the gorgeous wedges pictured above.

Choosing black means that you will only need to buy one pair of shoes to take you through the party season as they will go with whatever colour dress you choose to wear and I love to wear wedges out at night as they are so much more comfortable.

Perhaps a little pricey at £85, Christmas is coming and I know these will be on the top of my wish list as I will get plenty of wear out of them and not just over the Christmas period but for many nights out in the months that follow.

Another thing that has made its way onto my Miss Selfridge wanted list is this Faux Fur Gilet. I already have a cream one from last winter which I picked up in the Dorothy Perkins sale for £10, but I am definitely in the market for one in a darker colour.

Gilet - £45

I actually tried this gilet on when I was shopping a couple of weeks ago and not only does it look great, it also feels lovely. The colours are perfect for autumn and can it worn with so many outfits, I know I will get plenty of wear out of it. The only thing that stopped me buying it was the price tag at £65, not because it wasn't worth it but because I am having to seriously cut down on what I spend on myself with Christmas coming up.

However, I couldn't resist a sneaky little bargain purchase, I managed to grab the Miss Selfridge dress I bought in pink to wear out for my birthday in September, in green (I will be posting about this soon) and I found this gilet had been reduced from £65 to £45 as it now has £20 off!

It is such a great piece and perfect for the colder weather that we have been having recently, it would seem silly not to purchase it, especially with faux fur being such a big trend this A/W.

So, what do you think? Are you going to make a place for these amazing pieces in your wardrobe?

Winter Warmth

Knitwear I feel is the winter essential for everyone, not only does it keep you extra warm but you can also purchase knitwear in super cute prints!

A gorgeous jumper or cardigan can dress up any outfit when teamed with a simple pair of jeans and boots. You can go for slim fitting knitwear or loose baggy knitwear (or you can buy slim fitting ones in a bigger size) depending on what you feel is most comfortable.

Above are a few I have selected all from Topshop (here) as I feel they have the cutest knitwear on the High Street which is always of a high quality. The bunny jumper and the fairisle print jumper are my two personal favourites, which I plan on purchasing soon to add to my essential winter list. You don't always have to go for patterned knitwear I also love the plain mustard jumper above as although plain and simple it will still get you looking lovely. Mustard is also a very in colour this season so keeping you very on trend while teamed with your favourite pair of bottoms (mine being my black leather trousers) you're sure to be looking and feeling great. Although perhaps some would think is a little pricey at £38 - Topshop are student friendly so you are able to get a cheeky extra 10% off and unlike other high street stores which are cheaper you won't have to buy cheap and buy twice.

What's your opinion on knitwear and have you got a favourite store this A/W?
