Mustard | OOTD

As I haven't done one of these posts in a while I thought it was time to bring my camera out again and get my game face on ready for some ultimate posing. I love this jumper and rarely wear it but seeing as the sun is shining and spring is nearly upon us I thought it was time I bought it out from hiding. I love the colour of this jumper, mustard I would refer to it as. It is quite a hard colour to pull off and doesn't suit everyone but I have seen some really nice items just lately in this colour. I feel it works best alongside blue denim jeans or maybe a pair of denim shorts. I bought this jumper from Primark last year and think it cost me around £12-bargain! My jeans which are quite old also are from Topshop and my scarf is from Dorothy Perkins. My hat which is one of my favourite hats is from the lovely River Island along with my shoes which I have recently spoken about. These are in at the moment if you can find your size and cost £40.

Big Fur Coats And Woolly Jumpers | OOTD

So I am just on my way to Nottingham to meet my other half for his 21st birthday and because it's feeling a bit chilly outside, I thought I would wrap up for the occasion. I haven't had any pictures taken in my fur coat either, so what better excuse than to publish a new blog post featuring that very item. 

This coat has to be my absolute favourite piece of clothing at the moment. Passed down to me by my very own nan, it's made of real rabbit fur and is the warmest, snuggest coat I've ever owned. I am always complaining at this time of year about how cold I am, so when my nan mentioned she had a fur coat that she no longer wore, I  simply could not resist. As you can see, it is a little on the big side for me (I'm only small) but it literally looks great with anything and hence why I have not taken it off since the very first day I got my hands on the little beauty. 

Perfect for those cold winter mornings and evenings, I have always been a fan of vintage clothing especially when it is kept within the family, I am sure many of you will agree. I know some people may be against this coat with it being real fur, but for me it is much more personal than that. Not only does this coat have so much history, it is still extremely fashionable and looks as good as new. To say my nan used to wear this coat when she was in her early twenties like myself, making this coat at least 50 years old is amazing! That's the real beauty of vintage clothing, bringing incredible clothes back to life. Of course another great feature of this coat is the fact that it keeps me incredibly warm but that would be stating the obvious.

As you can see, I have teamed this with a pair of winter woollen monochrome leggings from River Island and a slimline emerald jumper, again from River Island. As I bought both of these items last year, I cannot give you an exact price on how much I paid for them. My hat which I purchased from the Topshop sale cost me just £5 and my shoes which I mentioned in my previous blog post are again from Topshop at around £40. I am a big lover of hats at the moment and love experimenting as you may find out throughout this blog if you haven't already. 

Anyway I have just arrived in Nottingham so that will be all from me. I hope you have enjoyed reading and I look forward to sharing with you some more inspirational material.

The Christmas Jumper

So it’s that time of year again in which we see a flood of people stampeding down to their local high street in an attempt to get their hands on the last of their Christmas gifts, and of course some new festive attire. This includes my personal favourite, the infamous Christmas jumper. In preparation for my office party, I decided I too would take the dreaded trip down to Primark and try and get my hands on one of the few Christmas jumpers left, and just look at this little beauty I managed to get my hands on! At only £12 I am sure to say I grabbed myself a right little cracker this year!

Yes it may be a males jumper but it fits perfect and I am a big fan of male jumpers as there is always a better selection and they are often a lot less pricey too!  Even though I will only be pulling this out at Christmas time, it sure will come in handy over the next few years. I love having a play with the festive range that Primark and other high street stores have on offer. At Christmas you can afford to look a bit silly and relive the childhood dream (that's my excuse anyway.)
