Christmas Jumper Love

I don't know what it is this year, but Christmas jumpers have suddenly become the hottest piece of fashion around!

From the high street to designer, Christmas jumpers have invaded the nation and what was once thought to be geek, is now oh so chic.

I love that you can get matching ones, his and hers and that they come in a variety of styles, fits and designs. You can go quite minimal and go for a simple snowflake or fair isle design, or go all out and opt for a full on Santa or snowman design.

I've decided to do a little round up of my favourite Christmas jumper styles, as well as the one which I bought myself...and the hubby...to wear on the big day itself.

Have you got yourself a Christmas jumper this year? Which style did you go for? Enjoy x

Halloween Fashion Must Haves

It's that time of year again - the nights are drawing in, the days are getting colder, the clocks go back, leaves are falling from the trees and Halloween is almost upon us (which mean's it's also almost Christmas! yay!)

I love a bit of Halloween fun - we always stock the house with sweet treats for kiddies Trick or Treating, some years we dress up and go to costume parties and this year I am seriously thinking about creating my own pumpkin Jack O Lantern.

Just because it's a time of year to dress up in spooky costumes, does not mean you have to look like a scary old witch! This season, the glamorous gothic trend is all the rage, and looking dark and decadent is "So hot right now."

With that in mind, I've done a little round up of some of my favourite Halloween inspired pieces on the high street, to get you in that spooky frame of mind - I know we still have 5 days to go, but start planning now if you have a big Halloween party to go to - or if you just want to get into the spirit.

Do you think this little lot are tricks or treats? Are you planning anything fun for Halloween this year? Enjoy x

Friday's Dream Outfit

Happy Friday everyone!

Just a quick post this evening. I’ve been doing so much window shopping recently, that I wanted to do a little outfit “wish list.” Today’s dream outfit is entirely from our Great British High Street, and mixes soft pastel shades with high gloss accessories and a touch of a festival flavour. I opted for pieces from Topshop, River Island, Miss Selfridge and Dorothy Perkins.

What do you think of today’s outfit? Is it something you would wear? Enjoy x

What's Caught My Eye This Week...

Happy Friday!

Hope you've all had a good week.

It was pay day for me this week (finally!) so I thought I would have a meander around my favourite shops and compile a list of what I would love to buy. I am trying to be good at the moment and not shop as much...so maybe I'll just have to settle for one thing from my list!

I'm really impressed with what's on offer on the high street right now...the SS12 collections are out in full and there are some gorgeous pieces. I'm not normally a spring/summer fashion lover, but I am loving the mix of faded nudes, soft prints, floaty chiffons and vibrant neons. They make a really interesting mix that, surprisingly, go really well together.

Anyway, have a looksee at my wish list below and let me know what you think. Has anything caught your eye on the high street? Enjoy x

chelsea girl cardigan £28 @ river island

chiffon shirt dress £"29.99 @ zara

colour block heels £69.99 @ zara

mesh maxi dress £150 @ topshop

asymmetric dress £50 @ miss selfridge

my dress 40EUR @ Monki

chiffon skirt £37 @ miss selfridge

stripey socks £3 @ river island

Christmas Sparkle!

Tis the season to be sparkly!!

With the Christmas countdown falling on 2 sleeps until the big day, I thought I would share with you a few of my favourite sparkly, festive dresses. Whether you're heading out to a big party, a cosy night in with your favourite person, a girly night out, I've got the dress for you...and if you get two, you've got yourself sorted for New Years Eve as well. Bargain.

All of these beauties are from the high street (I do love a high street bargain) and some are already in sale, and hopefully, the others will be going that way as well.

So whatever you're doing this festive season, have a fabulous time! Enjoy x

Dalmation Spots - The Hottest Print for AW11

You should all know by now that I love autumn/winter fashion. One of my favourite trends of the AW11 runways was animal prints, and not your bog standard stripes, zebra, tiger, leopard etc...this season it's all about Cruella De Ville's ultimate obsession...the dalmation spots!

Yep, this season we can all inject a touch of Cruella's style into our wardrobes...just make sure you opt for fur of the faux variety please!!






Now, obviously we'd all love to be able to afford designer pieces, but for those of us who keep it real on the high street, here are a few pieces inspired by the dalamtion trend that I hope you'll love as much as I do. Enjoy x

Summer Sales!

Now I am not normally a fan of the sales. Scary, stressful and so called "fashion lovers" treat every store like a jumble sale; picking items up and discarding them in a haphazard manner, whether the item costs £10 or £100. Basically, it makes me a little freaked out. I also am against buying "sale items" which are only brought out during the sale period. You don't need it, you don't want it and a lot of the time, you don't even like it that much, but, it's in the sale so YOU HAVE TO HAVE IT!!

Saying all that, I am a fan of finding jewels, items which I coveted at full price and are now amazingly half price! Also, finding things which I know will stand the test of time, are classic or will carry onto the next season's key trends. So, I wanted to share a few things that I have found and bought myself, and also pieces which I am still considering snapping up. In short, my pick of the sales!

Here's what I have found so far:

This stunning tribal dress from Warehouse is a total bargain, £60 reduced to a mere £20! I've got mine on order and can't wait to try it on. Tribal prints are always a winner and is a trend which will emerge summer after summer
This little black dress from Topshop is ideal to take you through to the next season...and black never goes out of style! Love the glittery bow detail! Bargain at £25
Love this silk playsuit by Traffic People from Topshop. It's got that great 70's feel about it which will still be big for AW11, and at £35, this is a trend you can definitely afford to invest in!
This mink suedette shorts from Miss Selfridge are a must have at £20. Wear them with gladiator sandals now and thick ribbed tights and boots in the autumn.
Just love these leather loafers from Miss Selfridge. £30...yes please!
Love this mustard yellow dress by Z Spoke by Zac Posen from the Outnet...only £79.50. This is the perfect autumn dress
This tweed blazer by Sara Berman at ASOS is the perfect jacket to keep you stylish and warm on cool summer evenings and is a steal at £160!
Love polka dots and cropped detailing...that's all really! £35 from ASOS
The perfect biker boot from River Island for £35!!
Another nod to the ever popular 70's trend...and for £15 from River Island, you can't go wrong really!!

This classic maxi by French Connection was £155 and is now £61! I picked one up for a couple of weddings I have this year and I know I'll get loads of wear from it. The slinky silk dress is flattering and beautiful, and I love the embellished halter neck - perfect for adding a touch of drama!
