I think January has to be my least favourite month of the year. Christmas, New Year & all of the festivities that go along with it are over, I’m always flat broke & the days are cold, dark & miserable. There is one tiny plus side to make up for all of that though, January sales! This year I’m trying to wait until final markdowns before I get anything, as I always end up kicking myself for being too eager & missing all the real steals.

Top of the list are these ‘Mojito’ heels created by architect Julian Hakes, so called because the single ribbon of leather that wraps around the foot resembles a twist of lime skin. Despite having no foot plate they offer all the support needed & this quirky detail paired with the flowing, organic lines & elegant wrapped shape make for such a unique looking pair. I so want to get my hands on some to try on & test out!

Another favourite is the draped laser cut dress by 2nd Day, I’ll always be a sucker for anything laser cut or draped & this dress has both of those in one! I’m also very tempted by the wrapped skirt from T by Alexander Wang & the cropped tux by Twenty8Twelve, both such staple pieces in my wardrobe & something I can never buy enough versions of, they’re currently at 50% off too & proving to be pretty hard to resist!

One of my favourite things I got for Christmas was this sequined biker jacket that Mary Jane Fashion sent me all prettily wrapped up with a pink bow & a little Christmas message. I’m obsessed with nice packaging, so this little extra touch made it all the more special.

I admit, it’s not usually something I’d choose (with it not being black!) but as soon as I tried it on I was in love! The sequins are a lovely muted gold with a little black underlay showing through, and the biker style with the contrast black lapels & chunky zip give it more of a grungy feel, which means despite it being sequined I feel like I can just throw it on, even with more casual outfits. Here I kept it very simple, no jewellery & minimal black layers to keep it from looking fussy or over the top.

I’ve just brought my 3rd one of these draped cardigans from Mango, they’re such a great basic layering piece with their long asymmetric front & cropped back, the only downside is that they don’t last very long at all before they look a bit tatty which is such a shame! When I saw it in the sale on ASOS I knew I had to get a 3rd backup just incase I couldn’t find them again once my current one is knackered! Does anyone else buy ‘backups’ of their favourite pieces? It can’t just be me, surely?!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had an amazing Christmas & saw out the end of 2012 with a bang!

Over the holidays I had a little break from all things online, it was so nice to just sit down with a good book, spend time with those I love, watch a movie & play some Xbox, uninterrupted by the constant compulsion to check my emails, twitter, facebook .etc, it was just what I needed & now I can’t wait to get started with 2013!

I’m so looking forward to finally catching up on emails & blog reading too over the next few days & seeing what you all got up to for Christmas & New Year!

The start of the new year has naturally lead to me to looking back over the last year, digging back through the archives & reminiscing. I thought a roundup of my 12 favourite outfits from 2012 would be a nice way to come back from my mini-break & start the new year. Which ones your favourite?
