WINTER WARMER

Jumper - French Connection
Jeans - Topshop
Coat - AllSaints
Boots - Russell & Bromley
Bag - Topshop

It's Sunday evening again, just where did the weekend go! I spent most of my weekend getting into the Christmas spirit (I mean it is the start of December tomorrow, so the count down begins). I started my Christmas shopping on Saturday, although Oxford St. was manic because of Black Friday weekend and I kind of got distracted and accidentally bought this cuddly jumper from French Connection as an early present to myself. I then spent Sunday at the Christmas market at South Bank, where I took my jumper out for a spin, whilst enjoying the pop up Rekordelig Cider Lounge (being a country gal it made me feel at home) and watching adults and children a like getting lost in the Christmas tree maze.

Did any of you make the most of Black Friday weekend, or have you started your Christmas shopping?

Autumn Leaves

Coat - Allsaints
Top - H&M
Jeans - Topshop
Boots - Topshop
Bag - Topshop
Scarf - Zara

The weather suddenly took a turn for the worst this weekend, so it meant wrapping up warm, heating on and hot chocolates. The boyfriend and I spent most of Saturday wondering around London trying to do our best to get a bit of exercise and fresh air, I think looking back on my choice of outfit I must have been inspired slightly by the Harry Potter films with my scarf. 

I have to say though Winter is definitely my favourite time of year when it comes to fashion trends, I will always be a big knits, chunky scarves, boots and dark colours kinda gal!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

Style Birmingham: Press Event Fashion Show

Hey everyone...

This weekend gone I got to attend the Style Birmingham Fashion Show thanks to my boyfriends sister. It was incredible! I got to see various retail brands key pieces from their A/W 12 collections while at the same time sipping on some Harvey Nichols champagne (not a bad life really). The fashion show was hosted by Martine McCutcheon and it featured appearances from  celebrity stylist Bradley Taylor and Olympic gold medalist Greg Rutherford who strutted his stuff for the Harvey Nichols collection.

The scenes of the fashion show included:

Hide and Chic (Harvey Nichols)

 Geo-Graphic, Country Days and City Nights (House of Fraser)

Very Berry, Heritage (M&S)

Drama & Decadence (The Mailbox)

 Japanese Oriental Florals (Bullring)

Futuristic Glamour (Selfridges) - My personal favourite

Some of the key looks I took away from the show included mixing geometric patterns, faux fur jackets and winter florals. All of which I  am a massive fan of, so I am definitely looking forward to forming my winter wardrobe.

Here are a few pictures from the event...

The last picture is of my Mum and Me before the event (all glammed up) and I apologise for my freaky eyes, the lighting in the hotel wasn't ideal.

What are your favourite key pieces for the summer?

Love
