Winter Blues

Hat | Primark

Top & Skirt | H&M

Necklace | Lost At Sea Jewellery

Boots | Unif

This weekend's weather has officially been miserable, wet and just generally crap! It can be so easy to get into a routine of wearing jeans, boots and jumpers when the weather is constantly like this; don't get me wrong it is extremely comfortable and looks nice, but can be a bit repetitive and boring after a while.

 So I have been trying to jazz up my every day outfits and found this long maxi skirt a winner for replacing my trusty skinny jeans! It obviously isn't as warm as jeans, but is a great alternative when going shopping indoors or out for lunch. Teamed with a sparkly high neck crop top and my trusty platform boots and i'm good to go.

With the weather turning and already having suffered from a nasty cold, I have noticed my skin isn't looking too great lately. I love a good highlighter and felt this is what my skin needed to bring it back to life! (As well as a face mask from Lush) So after rummaging through my make-up box for some inspiration I came across my Benefit Rockateur blush powder. I haven't used it in a while so thought i'd give it a whirl! I'm so glad I did as I forgot how great this highlighter powder is. Just one sweep over each cheek is all that's required to get an instant natural glow.

November Wintery Wish List

                        

                                                                                      Top to bottom, left to right:

                                                              Dress - Topshop 

Shoes - River Island

Choker - Regal Rose

 Feather cape - Regal Rose 

Coat - River Island

Bag - Topshop

Sparkles, feathers, metallic, velvet, leather, jewels, wool, sequins...a few reasons why I love the winter season! I can't get enough of all the different textures this season brings and how much fun it is to put together a winter wardrobe. 

Metallic sparkles in emerald green, deep burgundy, gunmetal grey and luxurious aubergines are the colours that have caught my eye this season. I love love LOVE the River Island heels above, the subtle shimmer and cut out detailing make it my party shoe of the season. Teamed with the metallic pyramid Topshop bag, which is so simple yet the shape is so fun, takes any outfit from meh to magnificent! 

I am also not disappointed by the newest long awaited collection by Regal Rose; it is as grungy yet glamorous as ever and I literally want everything. The statement feather cape has to be the winner for me however, just throw it over a black dress and voila! A one of a kind fabulous outfit that will be sure to turn heads.

November O.O.T.D

I have to say winter is my favourite fashion season of the year. So i was rather happy when the weather took a winterly turn this last week or so! Thick wooly knits are everywhere and i can't get enough of them (i've already bought 3) but my favourite winter outfit so far this month involves the comfiest, snuggliest, warmest, thickest, wooliest jumper EVER. I literally haven't stopped wearing it since i got it...

Jumper - Missguided

Jeans - Topshop

Boots - Unif
Hat - Boohoo

Necklace - Topshop

Rings - H&M, Regal Rose, Topshop

I wore this knit on Bonfire night and it was fab! I felt toasty warm and stylish at the same time, which i think is sometimes hard to achieve. I've been wearing it with my new Unif Choke boots to add a bit of grunge to my outfit. If i had to design a boot these literally would be it! They took a while to wear in (as my work colleagues know all about!) but we got there eventually and now they are actually quite comfy. I do love a good black ankle boot or two!

November Pinspiration

      Here's my fav pins that sum up what fashion I'm loving this month....

Since Kylie Jenner added grey tones to her hair I have to say I'm slightly obsessed; it looks insanely good! Would love to give it a go myself but I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to colouring my hair (I think my mum would disapprove slightly too!) I am still loving a good ol' half up half down top knot though; so quick and easy to do but looks so so good. Boys with top knots however, can't say I'm feeling it I'm afraid...

I am loving full on, sparkly in your face, 3D glitter lips though! I have bought a kit from a brand called Belissimo so I can create this look at Xmas, I'm just waiting for the right occasion to bring the full on bling out. Belissimo are currently stocked in Topshop and have loadssss of different colours! I have Crimson already and intend on buying black next. 

My favourite colour this season (apart from black of course) has to be auburgine and rich deep purple; I even plan on buying towels this colour for our new bathroom! Auburgine furs and velvet textures will look so luxurious and glam for the winter season, worn with lots of silver gothic jewellery and black lace will create the ultimate party look. I think this colour also looks great on nails and lips; I love matching my lipstick to my outfit and accessories!
