BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE | Blanket wraps & Capes

I know I say love every trend but this one I love for its versatility, you can throw it on top of anything. One important thing with building and styling your outfit is being comfortable and these I think allow you to do that. A wrap allows you to show off your outfit, still stay warm and its a nice alternative to wearing a coat. Below are my top 16 wraps and underneath the pictures you can find the links of where to purchase them from a range of high street stores.

1. Black and Grey check
2. Red Houndstooth
3. Parisian Blue Check

CHRISTMAS | Wishlist 2014

I write a Christmas List every year (yes I know I'm 21 and so what?! lol) and I end up buying my self the things I ask people to get me. That way I'm not disappointed if I don't get what I ask for (come and see logic lol). This year I am trying to be more disciplined and not make it about the gifts. It is all to easy to get wrapped up in madness that surrounds Christmas and forget the reason for the season!!
The reason being to celebrate the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ!

So down below are some things that I would like but its not the be all and end all if I don't receive anything on there! As per the links for the items in the image can be found in the list below.

1. Dr Martens
2. Canon EOS M
3. Quilted Rucksack
4. Bomber Jacket
5. Benefit Hello Flawless Foundation
6. Quilted iPad Mini case
7. Younique 3D Fibers
8. Benefit Stay Flawless Primer
9. Benefit Hello Flawless Powder

Happy Shopping and Merry Christmas everyone :D,

  - Black bottoms(jeans, trousers, joggers, shorts, culottes, maxi, midi and mini skirt)
  - Black footwear (trainers, shoes, heels, ankle boots, knee high and thigh high boots)
  -Accessories (clutch bag, tote, shoulder, bowling bag, beanie hat
• The Casual look
  - This can be anything you want, your favourite t-shirt, shirt and/or hoody
  - Bottoms (any style jean in any colour, slim fit jogging pants, leggings)
  - Footwear (trainers, boots, flats)
  -Accessories (rucksack, holdall, beanie hat, snapback)
