OOTD | Stags & Pastels

Stag Shirt - George At Asda

Jeans - Mango

Scarf - Topshop

Bag - Carvela by Kurt Geiger 

Pom Pom - Dune

Brogues - Dune

Half way through these pictures the heavens opened and I got completely soaked, there doesn't seem to have been one day that it's not rained in December and it's kinda annoying, especially when you're wearing some of your favourite clothes! You've got to make the best of a bad situation though, and luckily I got a few snaps before I had to call it a day!

Wearing my favourite new stag shirt that I gushed about in my feelin' festive outfit post, I paired this neutral outfit with this new candy coloured scarf from Topshop. When I say new I bought it in September and have only worn it now. Anyone else buy clothes on impulse and never get around to wearing them? Needless to say they were perfect for pairing with my glittery princess shoes, a Christmas princess look indeed! 

This will be my last post until after Christmas, so I would just like to wish all of my lovely readers & blogging friends the most wonderful Christmas, eat, drink & be merry, and enjoy every moment with your family & friends!! 

What do you think of this outfit? Do you like wearing pastels throughout the winter?

OOTD | Feelin' Festive

Coat - Urban Outfitters

Shirt - George At Asda

Jumper - H&M

Jeans - Topshop

Brogues - Dune (similar here)

It feels good to be back posting so much more regularly and I do love doing outfit posts, I'm making it a conscious effort to try and get some more each weekend if I can, as I have a lot of sharing my newest clothes with you to do!!

I spotted this stag shirt at the end of last month and I was gutted that it was completely sold out, I even looked in an Asda in Scotland I was that desperate!! I was sooo happy when it came back in stock last week and it's the perfect festive shirt. I love the design, and it looks great layered with this old Christmas jumper I picked up from H&M last year. I will probably feature this shirt in another outfit post as I love it so much, it was only £14 from Asda too, what a find!!  I can't remember if I've worn these glittery brogues in an outfit post before but if not WHY?! I instantly feel like a princess in these shoes, they are just so beautiful!! I even wear them to work sometimes, because why not?

What do you think of this outfit? Would you wear glittery brogues to work? Do you like the stag shirt?

My Favourite Things About Christmas

Now that there's only 10 days until Christmas I'm finally starting to feel festive, and as for most people the run up to Christmas really is my favourite time, filled with my favourite festive things to do and traditions. New Look kindly gifted me one of their amazing novelty Christmas jumpers to get into the festive spirit and to share with you all how I usually like to spend my Christmas. I could be here all day telling you my favourite things about Christmas, so here are just a few things that make the build up to Christmas extra special for me!

Black Penguin Fairisle Christmas Jumper* - New Look

Christmas Jumpers

You'll be hard pushed to try and find one year that I don't bring out the Christmas jumpers to wear in the run up to Christmas and on the big day, it's an easy way to get into the festive spirit. Christmas jumper day at work is also this Friday, it's kind of a tradition for me to wear a garish Christmas jumper on Christmas day too, so this novelty jumper from New Look fits the bill (they have a great selection of novelty jumpers like this too!). It even has jingle bells for the topping of the Christmas puddings and red sparkly pom poms for rudolphs nose, this jumper really does the whole sha-bang! As the years go by Christmas jumpers seem to get more garish than ever before, and I kinda like it! Nothing says Christmas like an in your face jumper that's something your parents would have worn in the 60s!

Cosy nights in

Cosy nights in are something I relish in all year round, but it's not quite the same when it's the summer and it's still light at 9pm! Getting dark at around 4 every day does have it advantages and with the colder days a cosy night in with festive films, hot chocolates and snacks are just what is needed! I try to make more time to do this over Christmas and it's much better sharing it with your family or friends!

Wrapping Presents

I don't know what it is but I just LOVE wrapping presents, I try to outdo my wrapping skills and actually have a Pinterest board dedicated to gift wrapping this year..I'm obsessed! I'm using brown wrapping paper as my base this year and will be sharing my gift wrapping ideas on the blog in the next week! 

Looking At Christmas Lights 

There's nothing more festive than going for an evening walk and admiring all the pretty Christmas lights. The perfect time to soak up the beauty of these lights is when you're delivering Christmas cards to your neighbours. I also spend the run up to Christmas buying lots more Christmas decorations that I definitely don't need!

Food

Calories consumed during Christmas don't count right? Festive food is just the best and it gets better as the days in December roll by, you have to blow out the year on a high scale of gluttony, ready for all those new years resolutions to kick in! Whether it's chocolate, cakes, biscuits, cheese or pigs in blankets - I will be spending the majority of my Christmas eating food!

Presents

Okay, so we might not all say it but presents are one of the best bits about Christmas - and I don't just mean receiving them (although that is fabulous!). I love picking out presents for the special people in my life and I love seeing their faces on Christmas day. It makes all those hours spent in queues and stuffy shops definitely worth it!

Quality Time With Family & Friends

But most of all I love spending my Christmas with family and friends. Life is incredibly hectic for me at the moment and if I'm not at work I'm out with friends, exercising, blogging or having a weekend away. Christmas is the only time that I can properly sit down relax and enjoy the best company without any distractions or interruptions! So for me that really is my favourite way to spend Christmas!

Christmas really is just the best time of the year! The run up to Christmas really is the best bit though as I find Christmas day comes and goes in a flash so it's the little things like this that I love spending my time doing during Christmas!

How do you usually spend your Christmas? What are your favourite things at Christmas? Do you have any different traditions?

OOTD | Shearling Darling

Shearling jacket - New Look

Roll Neck - Topshop

Skirt - Urban Outfitters (sold out online :()

Boots - Schuh

I basically posted this exact same outfit here but it just so happened to go perfectly with my new shearling jacket! This is seriously such a 60s outfit! I've been seeing shearling jackets everywhere recently but never thought of actually buying one (I have too many jackets...) but last weekend I spotted this biker style shearling jacket in New Look with 25% off might I add so the decision was easily made!! I also picked up these thigh high boots from Schuh after lusting after long boots for the whole of last winter, they really are such a comfy pair of boots and are ultra slimming on your legs. These are everywhere at the moment and you can get some seriously cheap ones on Ebay if you don't mind waiting for about a month for them to arrive from China. 

This is possibly one of my favourite looks this winter, I have SO many outfits I need to share with you guys though it's just getting the time to shoot the photos on a weekend. I've already starting posting a bit more regularly again on here so I will hopefully be bringing you some more outfit posts soon!

What do you think of this outfit? Do you like shearling jackets? What do you think about thigh high boots?

OOTD | Feeling Autumnal

Top - Topshop

Skirt - Urban Outfitters

Shoes - Chockers

Bag - Carvela Kurt Geiger

Pom pom keyring - Dune

The tights are well and truly out now which I'm not happy about at all, but what can you do?! It was relatively warm last weekend for my trip to London but the autumnal weather has definitely set in now! In true fashion, this is a new outfit that I picked up on Oxford street last week. Mustard is my new favourite colour which I never knew would happen, but it goes with so many different colours and denim! These ribbed high neck tops are perfect for wearing with pretty much anything and Topshop do them in lots of different colours which is great news for everyone! My £10 primark bag also broke last week, what do I expect though?! I had only had it a few weeks so it was about time I invested slightly more in a bag of better quality, and I really did fall in love with this Carvela Kurt Geiger bag, it's a very similar design to some designer makes and Zara bags, and my Jerry pom pom keyring looks amazing on it - I must invest in some more! 

I will hopefully be back super soon posting more outfit posts and I also have a lush haul lined up for you all to read. It is kinda impossible to juggle blogging with my work schedule at the moment but you won't get rid of me that easily! I hope you're all having a relaxing weekend! 

What are your favourite colours for autumn? Do you like this outfit? Are you a fan of pom poms?
