My Winter Shoe Staples ♡

Hi everyone,
I'm going to share with you my winter shoe staples today! First of all I just want to say that I hoped you all had an amazing Christmas whatever you did on the day!


                 Miss Selfridge - £36

I have had these boots for a few years now and they have lasted so so well. I rolled them down to make them more of an ankle boot and they have this super cosy lining. They are really versitile and I could wear them with basically anything!
I think a sturdy pair of black boots are an essential for winter!


               Marks and Spencer's - £30

I love these shoes so much and wear them way too much. They are so handy, they can be worn with a skirt to make them look really formal or with a pair of jeans to look more casual. They also make an outfit look a bit quirky and different! What's not to love?!

 
                 Next - £36

These ankle boots were originally more of a proper pair of boots, they came about a third way up my thigh. But I decided to cut them not long ago as I never wore them and I wanted them to be a lot shorter. I now love the way they look and have worn them more times in the past few months than I have in the past 2 years! 


                 eBay - £70

Again I absolutely love these shoes they are perfect for this time of year and are defiantly a worthwhile investment!
I hole you enjoyed this post!

☃ Countdown To Christmas TAG ☃

Hello everyone,
It's only 3 days till Christmas so I thought I would do the countdown to Christmas tag to get in the festive mood!

1 ☃ When do you start getting excited?
No joke I actually start thinking about Christmas in October, I don't get excited untill mid December but I defianatly start thinking about it way too early. 

2 ☃ What are your plans for the holidays this year?
I actually don't know this year soooooo. 

3 ☃ What's at the top of your Christmas list this year?
I haven't really asked for anything big this year, but I think I am getting a watch and that's all I know so far. 

4 ☃ Have you ever had a white Christmas?
I wish but no I haven't :( 

5 ☃ Talk us through your typical Christmas day. 
So everyone would get up and open presents. We would then have breakfast and get ready for the day at about 11 ish. Then at about 6 ish we will have Christmas dinner! Which I know is a little strange as most people have Christmas lunch. 

6 ☃ Do you have any Christmas traditions?
Instead of having proper Christmas dinner my family has our own version each year, so I guess it's a tradition!

7 ☃ Play or sing you favourite Christmas song!
I'm going to leave this one out haha!

8 ☃  Do you make New Years resolutions? Do you stick to them?
I don't really bother with New Years resolutions that much as I would proberbly not stick to them. 

9 ☃ What would be your dream place to visit for the holiday season?
To be honest I wouldn't like to go anywhere else for Christmas, it wouldn't be the same. 

10 ☃ Are you a pro - present wrapper or do you fail miserably?
I defianatly fail miserably, I'm really awful at wrapping presents! 

11 ☃ Ice skate well or fail miserably?
I actually have ice skating lessons so I'm going for skate well!

12 ☃ White lights or coloured lights?
We have white lights on our Christmas tree and coloured ones outside. 

13 ☃ Snowboarding or skiiing?
I'm awfull at both but I have had 1 snowboard lesson so I'm going for snowboarding!

14 ☃ Favourite winter nail polish?
It's a colour I have on my nails right now. It's by L'oreal and is a gorgeous dark shimmery blue colour!

15 ☃ Favourite winter lip product?
Defianatly lip balm, my favourite is the palmers coco butter one!

16 ☃ Most worn accessory?
Either my tartan scarf or my bowler hat.  

17 ☃ Favourite winter beverage?
The honeycomb hot chocolate from costa or the chocolate orange moca latte. They are soooooo good!

18 ☃ Favourite holiday food / treat?
Mince pies, they are so good!

19 ☃ Favourite winter scent / candle?
I'm not really a candle person. 

I hope you enjoyed this post and are getting excited for Christmas!

Hello everyone,
I went Christmas shopping this morning with my mum and this is what I wore. I haven't worn these dungarees in ages so I decided to wear them today. I paired them with a plain white long sleeved top from Zara and of course my docs! For a bit of colour I wore my bright green beanie and this vintage style bag that I got from a craft centre thing last weekend. I had wanted a bag like this for ages so I happy I have finally got one!

My Autumn / Winter Fashion Favourites

Hello everyone,
Today I'm going to share my autumn / winter fashion favourites! These two seasons are by far the best in terms of fashion for me, endless outfits!

So this is my new coat that I was talking about in my last post. Im in love! It's so warm and cosy and I love the style of the collar. It's quite a formal coat and I love the way it looks buttoned up. I was quite suprised that I even was able to find a coat that fitted me. In case your all wondering where I got it, it's from Henry Holland at Debenhams and I got it in a size 6. It was orginally £75 but I managed to get it for £27.50 with various offers and deals!

 Another jacket / coat is this one I got this from a charity shop for £2.99 not too long ago. It does actually look a bit small in the photo but it doesn't look so bad in real life ( I hope) ! It's actually from the childrens section in the charity shop and is age 6, you probably realise how small I am now;)! But I love it anyway and I think it's always good to have a denim jacket in your wardrobe!


This scarf is really old fashioned looking I think?! It goes with so many different outfits and adds something else to a plain black top. It used / still is my mums but she doesnt wear it that often! 


This bag I have featured soooooo many times in outfit posts so you are all probably sick of it now! But again it's from a charity shop and I got it for £3.99, it's really handy and is a nice change from a shoulder bag!

 
I couldn't have a favourites post without mentioning my docs, they are such a good sturdy winter boot. They go with loads of things and the colour is so pretty! 

I hoped you enjoy this post, let me know your autumn / winter fashion favourites in the comments!
