This fuzzy, scruffy jacket from H&M is still one of my favourite sale bargains and I can’t tell you how happy I am it’s cold enough to start wearing it again! I think a good (faux) fur jacket is as much of an essential as a good leather biker, they’re both perfect for throwing on over almost anything, they’ll add a kind of laid back cool to even the most boring outfits and they’re the best for dressing down a more polished outfit for super easy day to night dressing.

I hate to feel too ‘done’ when I’m going out, I have a habit of needing to slightly scruff up a nice dress or balance it out with a chunky pair of boots or that leather/faux jacket, I think it makes my inner tomboy a bit uncomfortable to be too dressed up or polished. So when New Look asked how I’d style a pair of boots for night wear whilst keeping nice and warm in the winter chill, I knew it had my name all over it, this is pretty much my go to look for evenings out. New Look have started stocking a lot more leather shoes lately and for very reasonably prices too, I’m a bit of a snob with footwear and I refuse to buy any that are not leather no matter how nice they are (they just don’t last and are never comfortable on my super wide feet) so I’m pretty excited to have another highstreet store making good pairs. It was love at first sight when I saw these ankle boots with their chunky platforms, removable stirrups and those interesting elasticated backs which add such a nice textural detail, plus they’re comfy as hell too. I’m looking forward to dancing all night in these babies!

A few weeks ago I was feeling completely run down, all curled up on the sofa feeling sorry for myself when this little package of goodies dropped through my letterbox and instantly brightened my day. I had never tried any of the Burberry beauty products until now, as I don’t have any stockists near me and I actually had no idea that they had such a large range of products either. I’ve discovered a few new favourites, and now I’ve seen the beautiful quality (and packaging!) I have a list of others I’m dying to try out next time I’m near a counter too.

The standout amongst these for me is the Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid Base. I’m a little obsessed with primers and especially ones that promise to give skin a radiant glow, as pale skin can often look dull and grey, and this has quickly replaced my old staple one as my new favourite. It gives an absolutely beautiful healthy golden sheen to the skin and the water based formula is instantly hydrating too, making skin look glowy, plump and well rested. It’s a subtle effect though, it’s not obvious or shimmery on the skin when blended out like some of these types of primers can be, it’s barely detectable but it gives this very soft, lit from within kind of look that makes people want to tell you that you ‘look well today’. I’ve become more drawn to a light, natural looking base lately and this is one of those products that is perfect for faking naturally great skin, especially when paired with a dewy BB cream like this Fresh Glow one which gives just the right amount of coverage to blend in minor imperfections and even skin tone for that no-makeup, my skin but better look. It’s a good multitasker too, I have been using this under makeup as a primer as well as dabbing lightly over makeup as a highlighter on cheekbones, brow bones and nose for extra glow.

Another close favourite is the Kisses Sheer Lipstick in Nude Beige. I’m not a big lipstick wearer normally, I tend to save it more for special occasions but I have really fallen in love with this fuss free formula for everyday wear. It’s a sheer, balmy lipstick that feels incredibly moisturising when applied and it’s just the most perfect peachy nude too, like a more flawless version of my natural lips. I’ve been enjoying layering it under the First Kiss Lip Gloss, which has a very slight tint (you can barely see it in the swatch above), when I want to feel a little more polished during the day.

The weather is really starting to get chilly now and so finally I can dig out my knits, scarves, snoods, thick tights and warm boots. I live for dressing in this weather and feeling all wrapped up and cosy when I leave the house.

Two of my new favourite winter accessories came to me recently from Black.co.uk, these incredibly soft and snuggly cashmere blend wrist warmers (which will now be permanently attached to my mitts until it warms up again) and this beautiful silk and cashmere scarf. I love the occasional little flash of white against an all black outfit, and this scarf has the best of both worlds with the most perfect ombre fade from off-white to inky black. The material is just beautiful too, so soft and luxurious, it makes it super easy to throw on without much thought and it instantly adds a little extra drama, especially when the wind catches it and really shows it off.

I’m off to Glasgow this evening for the Scottish Style Awards with Tara, so expect lots of excited photos all over social media whilst I’m there and I’m sure I’ll have plenty to post about and fill you in on when I get back too!
