Wrapping up for Winter Wonderland

So it is that time of year again! Winter Wonderland is here! Mulled wine all round, although I am still not listening  to Christmas music - it's not December just yet!

Even though we are nearing the end of November, it's been unusually mild. I didn't wrap up too warm, although did wear my new Joules scarf and waffle textures Zara coat. Scarf could quite literally pass for a blanket - but I love it.

I wore a cropped long sleeve grey marl top from Missguided and paired them with metallic pumps, also Missguided! High waisted jeans are Topshop - and so comfortable. Accessories are Michael Kors (watch) and Primark (necklace)

Here is my new baby! Michael Kors, eat your heart out. This is so perfect for every event. I. Love. This. Handbag.

Here's another Joules purchase - a 100% wool fedora with real feathers. The real and non-dyed feathers really add to the piece.

GFW Stuart Peters Visionary Knitwear Award

Rebecca Swann has really shown the potential of Knitwear in her collection for Graduate Fashion Week with graduating from Nottingham Trent University and securing the Stuart Peters Visionary Knitwear Award. 

Her collection is perfectly on trend, however has the unmistakable notion of leading the pack on knitwear designs to come. With the perfect balance of feminine meets masculine and the over sized designs with the chunky knits, her work is destined to be a hit. 

With the A/W season coming up, watch this space to see her inspiration on the streets around you. 

Three is the magic number - My Favourite Scents

After being through many different scents - some much more expensive than others - I have managed to settle on my three personal favourites for myself so far.

Starting with Heavenly by Victoria's Secret; which is a beautifully flavourful fragrance - fruity with hints of vanilla - and a bottle with a sexy hourglass shape, fitting for the brand. Perfect for day and night.

My all time favourite is - of course- Daisy by Marc Jacobs. Here I have the Eau so Fresh version with the multicoloured 3-D lid, which has inspired many other perfume bottles to be designed in such a manner. I am in love with the soft floral fragrances, such as jasmine, of the Daisy range and find this perfume perfect for the British summer time.

The last one here is Zara Black. This and the Victoria's Secret perfume are both unusual purchases for me as I normally avoid own brand beauty products due to my overly sensitive skin. However, I am very happy I made an exception here. This scent is a lot different to the other two and is much heavier. It is an almost addictive scent, with citrus and vanilla over a base of musk. This scent is definitely created for the night, although I would gladly wear it all day.
