Winter Warmers - The Wish List

Hello Everyone!

It's definitely getting colder in the Midlands right now and I've just looked into my wardrobe to find that I hardly have any winter wear! This is not good for me as I quite like going out for walks during winter and wrapping up without warm clothes is as much use as a chocolate teapot.

So I've compiled a wishlist of winter warmers that I really really would love to have right now. I hope it gives you some inspiration for what to wear over the next few chilly months!

All of these items are from New Look. It's definitely one of my favourite high street stores and I think it's very affordable for us girlies who havent got an extremely tight budget but don't want to push the boat out too much!

Here come the coats!

Left to Right

Camel Faux Fur Collar Boyfriend Coat £59.99

I think this one is my favourite out of the three, it looks really smart and looks a lot more high end rather than high street. I love that the faux fur end half way down the coat rather than just the top collar around your neck. It just looks so cosy! At almost £60 I actually wouldn't mind spending this amount of money because the quality looks really good.

Fashion Union Burgundy Faux Fur Coat £55.00

I really like the look of this coat, it would be perfect with a black top underneath with leggings and ankle boots. Definitely a great statement item to add a splash of colour to your outfit!

Mink Leather-Look Faux Fur Collar Jacket £44.99

This coat would be perfect for everyday use, I think it would go really well with a pair of black jeans and boots. I'd probably wear this just as a casual coat as even though it looks pretty smart I'd wear it just to go round a friends house to keep me warm.

Next up, keep calm now guys, it's time for the FLUFFY JUMPERS!

(Top Row) Pale Blue Necklace Trim Fluffy Jumper - £24.99

Pale Grey Loop Sparkle Jumper - £24.99

(Bottom Row) Cameo Rose Pink Fluffy Boxy T-Shirt - £12.99

Shell Pink Popcorn Knit Jumper - Sale! £14.50

I would team all of these up with a pair of leggings or a pair of jeans with some cute ankle boots. I was never one for wearing pink in winter,  I'm a monochrome winter girl. So for me to like these items its quite a shock! I really like the Pink fluffy t-shirt the most, it just looks so comfy!

To finish the looks I picked out these three accessories.

Left to Right

White Faux Fur Hat - £9.50

Pink Faux Fur Headband - £6.00

Pink Flip Top  Fingerless Gloves - £6.99

I would love to have all three of these! I think I like the white fluffy hat the most. I think it would look really good with wavy hair and a plain coat. Having a fluffy coat and fluffy hat would be too much faux fur. I think you should stick to just one statement item in an outfit.

So there you guys go, that's my winter warmer wishlist for you guys!

I hope you liked this post, let me know if you did and I'll do more of this style post.

Keep those lips kissable!

Hello Everyone!

So today I'm going to talk about our lips! Now that the summer months are far gone its time we started looking after our lips. With the cold months upon us it's important to keep our lips moisturised - because who wants dry, chapped lips and more importantly who on earth wants to kiss those lips? Lets avoid nasty looking lips and get them soft, smooth and kissable!

These are the lip balms and scrub that I'm currently using and they are all a staple in my handbags!

This is the Bubblegum Lip Scrub from Lush which you can buy here for £5.50

It's so pretty and pink and smells amazing I literally can not explain how amazing it smells. It's fantastic for your lips. You only need a tiny little bit on your finger and then you literally scrub it on your lips. It makes them so smooth and tastes amazing too! I'm having to stop myself from eating the whole pot!*

Next up should be a staple in every girls handbag. Vaseline Petroleum Jelly Lip Therapy tin. You can buy this from boots/superdrug/bodycare and they're relatively cheap.

I love using these on my lips, this is the aloe vera tin. It soothes dry skin and lips, so it's perfect for moisturising those chapped lips and your skin.

This is the Nivea Pearly Shine Lip Balm. Again you can buy these from most drugstores and is relatively a cheap item. I love using this as a lip balm as its got a slight pink tint which is great as I like having a bit of colour on my lips, and having a lip balm and faint tint in one is great!

Now the two balms above I'm going to talk about together as they do pretty much the same thing. Except the balm at the top is a soothe and protect balm which does exactly what it says on the packaging. So it's another one to help with those troublesome chapped lips! The second balm is the basic Nivea lip balm which I usually put on when I start doing my make up to keep them moisturised. 

I hope this gives you girls some ideas on what to have in your handbag to keep you prepared for the cold weather!

*Please take note that if you have cold sores or any abrasions on your lips you shouldn't use the lip scrub it as it will sting and potentially spread the cold sores.
