Today is all about winter knitwear. I’ve always been more of a fan of the colder months than the summer in terms of dressing because I just love to layer up and I can’t live without jeans for longer than about 2 days. Plus, knitwear is one of my favourite things to have in my wardrobe! So, this New Look Grey Longline Coatigan* is the perfect new addition to my winter wardrobe.
Designer Treats For Less This Christmas
Christmas is a time to treat yourself as well as all of your loved ones, but sometimes we can’t afford to treat ourselves to the extent we’d like to. Enter, Hardly Ever Worn It. This site is a designer re-seller and it’s not all $1000 shoes, don’t worry. There are pieces from as little as £7.50 on the site and you can get some real bargains.
Christmas Party Glam With Kurt Geiger
Kurt Geiger are officially the fairy godmother of all Christmas parties. I mean look at these beautiful shoes! It’s officially Christmas party season coming up soon and I was panicking about what I was going to wear when a magical email from Kurt Geiger pinged into my inbox.
Enter the Berwick Red Leather & Pom Pom Heels*. Oh my god. Look at these babies. These really are party shoes!
The Ultimate Luxury Gift Guide For Her
This is a gift guide for the ones with cash to splash and the ones that don’t but want to look like they have! For example, need a gift that looks like you’ve spent a month’s wages on it? Try Baukjen, they have loads of gorgeous jewellery such as the Boe Infinity Necklace and Leather Band Ring that don’t cost the earth. I mean, that leather band ring is so cute and it’s only £14!
My November Favourites
I’m not usually one for favourites posts because I think I’m fairly boring, I tend to stick to a lot of the same things but this month I had a few new favourite things come through my letterbox and I also popped to London and indulged my & Other Stories obsession.
First up, let’s keep on the & Other Stories track and let me introduce you to my favourite new shower gel. I love all the scents that they create, I literally don’t know how they make everything smell amazing but the Body Wash in Sirocco Sands is my current daily must-have. I also picked up the Natte Anti-Stress Sleeping Masque which is a really moisturising overnight mask and the really pretty Punk Bouquet Body Spray. Whenever I go to London in the future I’ll be raiding & Other Stories for sure!
Dear Daniel Christmas Wishlist

Christmas Gifts for The Creative Chick
Christmas list writing season is here as well as Christmas shopping time and here’s a few little ideas for the girl you might not know what to buy for! Step away from the shower-gel gift sets and impersonal gift cards – here’s four ideas to get those creative juices flowing.
The Novelty Jumper
A cute jumper is a winter essential, I love this star-print one from Marks & Spencer but there are so many amazing novelty jumpers popping up all over the high street in places such as Topshop and on ASOS.com!
City Break Packing: London
We’re off to London soon to celebrate our two-year anniversary. We’ve got tickets for Charlie & The Chocolate Factory and are dying to eat at some of our most-liked places on Instagram. Top Dog Soho – we’re coming for you.
Here are a few essentials I’ll definitely be taking with me on our two-night stay. I like to pack ‘capsule wardrobe’ style pieces when I travel so I’ll be living in black skinny jeans and my dungarees. I can’t find mine to link to but these Dr Denim Skinny Dungarees available at ASOS are super similar. I’ll be pairing both of these staples with stripes and simple tees such as my new favourite Topshop Contrast Neck Stripe Top and Marks & Spencer Limited Edition Grey Tee.

My Current ASOS Wishlist
My ASOS Saved Items is always a bulging corner of the internet so I thought I’d do something with it all before I end up buying it all on a Sunday afternoon sofa-shopping session.
Let’s face it, I love shoes, they’re probably my most-bought item of clothing bar denim (we’ll come onto that later) and with Halloween just around the corner these amazing ‘Darla’ Halloween Slip-Ons are at the top of my list. Sure, they’re probably only wear-able two weeks out of 52 but, whaddaya gonna do, they’re pretty awesome. On the side of more year-round shoes, these ‘Here Goes’ Heeled Sandals are on my list to be the new go-to shoes for literally everything. As much as I’m a shoes person, I’m not much of a heels person anymore. So these are perfect. Block heel, neutral colour and chic ankle straps = my ideal heels.
