Icy November

Oh winter - you can be such a cruel and icy mistress, but dya know what? It does mean that I get to wrap up in a long ol' camel shearling coat that makes me feel like I'm in a 90s pop music video. And just to complete the throwback look, a slogan t-shirt that has 'trouble' scribbled inside a heart should do the trick.

It's no suprise that the weather hasn't deterred me from my love of all things pastel, cus y'know, the cold never bothered me anyway (sorry, not sorry). And you know what the best thing is when you wear all the pale colours under the sun in the winter?

You feel like a sassy lil' ice princess with your grey hair, frosted lippy and kick-ass over knee boots. (Can I add sassy ice queen to my CV please?)

If taking inspiration from from Disney princess Elsa isn't enough, then what about Brigitte Bardot? 

A zipped-up little cord number with some slinky 70s boots will make you feel suitably old-school, in the best way possible.

Or a laced-up knit with a trusty golden chained belt will do a similar job - the choice is yours! (oh don't I spoil ya?)

And of course, it wouldn't be winter without some festive knitwear now would it? Am UBER-cozy jumper with gold stars should do the trick, especially when teamed with a leopard print fuzzy mini-skirt and a big ol' high pony tail that would give Ariana Grande a run for her money.

Bit jazzy? Well, if all those patterns and prints are just a bit too jazzy for you liking, then it's time to take things down a notch with an all black ensemble, complete with sheer stripes and a deep side-parting. 

 Don't worry though - the underwear may be black, but it's still sparkly as a Disney festive parade.

And if all else fails, take a leaf out of your girl Posh Spice's book and go for a trusty LBD - i've gone for a scalloped edge and cut out number - and some high black boots wouldn't go amiss either.

 And why stop at going out ensembles when it comes to going back to black. A pair of ripped jeans and a tile printed polo neck will do the trick for any lazy weekend - and with a pair of sassy snakeskin boots and a Tracey Emin book on hand too, your inner Alexa Chung can sleep easy tonight.

Until next time,

As I've mentioned time after time, i am a girly girl at heart, and due to that, sometimes i just cannot resist some sugary pink injected into my life.

 I realise just how 'tumblr' i look but this sweatshirt is just so comfy and cute, and i love the shoulders, I'm a bit of a sucker for cut-outs on shoulders...

I'm usually one for dressing up, i sometimes feel it's a shame when i look back at by-gone eras, how beautifully dressed everyone used to be and how much effort used to go into an outfit, and i think i have a bit of that philosophy in me. But sometimes, you just need to wear a comfy sweater and leggings, especially when you have a jacket you have to construct a pattern piece for, cut out, sew and make...

I've also been toying with the idea of pink hair for a while, and decided to get some extensions and see how it feel about them for a while before i decide to abuse the hell out of my hair, and unfortunately for my poor hair, i kind of love it.

The past few months, i have been drooling over silver and pastel pink hair, and as much as i would love to have a complete make-over to my hair, i think the roots would be a bitch and my hair would probably be wrecked, but i do love this subtle streak of pink amongst all the dark locks.

Not tyring to be overly sweet, i downplayed this pink pairing with some leather-look leggings & nude heels.

What do you think to pastel coloured hair? A nice change or a bit extreme?

Hope you're all well,
