Christmas Wishes...

 

Dear Santa

This year I've been such a good girl and I thought you wouldn't

mind me sharing some things I'm wishing for this year..

 

Michael Buble Christmas album. This is something that I've had my little heart set on for so long but some how it never seemed to make it onto my Christmas list? that was until this year of course. hopefully I will be finding Mr Buble's Cd under my Christmas tree and I'm sure I'll be listening to this for many Christmases to come. Marc Jacobs honey I've been seeing this perfume everywhere this year, its so popular which is hardly surprising as the packaging alone is so beautiful, but to be honest I'd be more than happy with any of the Marc Jacobs scents,they're all so lovely! I found these adorable little Daisy earrings while putting this wish list together, ( happens all the time ) they were definitely made with the daisy perfume in mind and would be so lovely to wear come spring time! Alexa Chung -it- book there hasn't been all too many good reviews about Alexa’s first venture into writing  but being a fan of her style this is something I would still love to receive. Warehouse Slouchy Jumper If I've never made it known how much I love pastel coloured jumpers the fact I've included this one in my Christmas list may be a hint how much I enjoy wearing them.Topshop Riding Pants ever since I discovered riding pants sometime last year I've been looking out for the perfect pair and these ones from Topshop look like they fit that description. Ah what would Christmas be like without chocolate and these Guylian chocolate seashells have always been my favourite,  I still have fond memories of having these as a kid and they make such a lovely gift too! plus the fact they donate some of the money received to helping save little seahorses only makes me love them more. YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick. I've mentioned before I have one but it's in a shade that doesn't suit me. so I'd love to have one in a colour I can wear which would be either this gorgeous red colour or the much well known peach passion. Red High Tops I don't think you could go wrong with a pair of these I picked red as I think they go the best with most things, such as Jeans, Riding Pants, Dresses etc’ in fact I'm not sure there is anything that converse don't look nice with? I think these Mickey ones from Forever 21 are so unique looking but I really would like a pair of actual converse or even just a pair of lookalikes, please! And finally a Canon Camera. This is quite a good price from Argos if your after a DSLR but don't have the funds to buy one and looking at reviews, I've only heard good things about this. Its a bridge camera so has very similar features of a dslr but for a far more affordable price. I know having an expensive camera isn't necessary for writing a blog but because I love photography so much I've always loved the idea of carrying around one of these and looking all artistic. And some Christmas flowers simply for decoration.

 

with love

What's on your Christmas List this year?



Dressing For Autumn/Winter // 4

Coat /  Jumper  /  Boots /  Jeans

 

So as winter has most definitely arrived, my Dressing for Autumn posts have transitioned into Autumn/Winter. So as we all begin to wrap up in about 50 layers of clothing in an attempt to keep warm, I thought I’d carry things on with a christmassy jumper. It was also to kind of prove to myself whether or not you could actually get away with wearing one of this winter's must have items outside. And you know, I actually think I like the idea. albeit under a coat for now, but the colours tie in so nice here and I’ve always thought red and grey looked really lovely together. I have to say, even though I do love this jumper and Topshop , I think this one is way over priced, especially for a Christmas jumper and you can find some really nice (and far cheaper) ones in places such as ebay and Tesco. I just couldn’t resist putting it together with this outfit though, it's just too cute. I did try a search to see if I could find one similar but the ones I did find just aren't quite the same ..sigh.. maybe next year.. or maybe Topshop will grant my Christmas wish and put this one in the sale. FingersCrossed!

 

Would you believe, since I posted my Wish List of all those ankle boots I’ve actually managed to find another pair I really like. These are so nice and I’ve been after a pair this colour for too long. They look so lovely with a pair of jeans and are also great if you're feeling like a change from your usual black boots and wanting a lighter colour for winter. They're on the New Look website, but I managed to find them on Asos where they're slightly cheaper just now, every little helps as they say!

Do you think you’ll be venturing outside in a Christmas jumper ? or are they something you would only want to wear indoors. 

I'd love to hear in the comments

Dressing for Autumn // 3

Jumper // Riding pants // Scarf  // Hat //  All Topshop

 

Dressing for Autumn // 3

 

 Another Dressing for Autumn.. The leaves are falling and becoming crisp. It's getting colder

 and colder as each day passes. It's starting to feel more like we're are fully into winter wardrobe territory now.

This peachy pink jumper is Amazing, the colour, look at it, it could brighten up any cold and dark

winter day. I've put it together here with the Topshop version of the American Apparel Riding Pants.

I've been admiring these for a few weeks now as they're a great alternative if you don't have the funds to buy the AA ones.

And of course I just had to add a little bobble hat and a scarf, winter wouldn't be the same without them.The mittens Here, actually go with the set but I didn't add them in the picture as it was starting to look a bit over crowded. The shoes the model's wearing in the photo at first probably wouldn't seem cold weather appropriate, but!... with a nice pair of white (and or frilly socks) they will keep your feet warm no problem.

 

Will you be wearing any bright jumpers this winter?
Oh! and what are your thoughts on the Topshop Riding Pants dupe ?

 

"Just as a little side note"
 

I picked up a few magazines this week, Company, Grazia etc' and read Pastel colours are a really big trend this winter. I was feeling really chuffed with myself as I've been wearing Coral and Blue jumpers for about two years now. It started in 2011 when I thought I would start wearing something a little brighter than my usual Grey. I remember feeling a bit off trend, as pastels weren't really the colours to wear for Autumn/Winter then. Not that I'm saying I'm a head of the fashion pack in any way, or that I was the only one to ever wear pastels in winter, but it's nice when the things you chose to wear anyway are actually now becoming a trend!
