Keeping warm in the Snow

Yes the Snow is causing chaos for lots of people up and down the country!  Being in Central london I am yet to be affected, a little annoying as I love nothing more than a walk through St James's park after a hefty dump of snow.  In fact my snow dog from last year is still on my desktop pics (there was not enough snow for an entire man so we made a dog).

Although the snow has not made me house bound the dreaded TAX return has and living in a very old house, with my office in it's very COLD basement, I have felt the chill of the snowy weather and have found the perfect snuggle outfits that are NOT the dreaded tracksuit!!!

So if you are needing to feel snuggly over the next few weeks think about some of the below:

The first is the closest to a Tracksuit, It is the Bermondsey Sweat Dress from Sweaty Betty, currently in the Sale for £45.00.  It is super comfy and looks great with leggings (I opt for leather leggings to make it look more fashionable) and it has little holes in the arm's, so it feels like i am wearing fingerless gloves!

The next is like a classic jumper dress but the boxy shape and high neck mean that you can make this oversized Jumper look super stylish with the rights accessories..  It is from Baukjen £100.00 and looks great with leather leggings or normal leggings and over the knee leather boots for outside! 

Of you are a layering girl then why not use a gilet to give you the layers and warmth?  This sheepskin gilet from Karen Millen £495.00 looks great over a jumper dress but looks fantastic over the top of a slim leather to give extra texture whilst staying warm!

I hope you enjoy snuggling up and keeping the cold at bay!

A Season for Separates

As the cold winter months are rolling in we’ve got to start layering ourselves up to fend off the frost bite, but this shouldn’t stop us looking fashionable and chic. Investing in seperates is the best way to do it. Layer them up, mix and match them, dress them up or dress them down – you can have a different outfit everyday just with less of a price tag!

This is a perfect statement dress from Zara £49.99 for this seasons leather fix and a great dress for both the evening and day.

To make it more than just a leather dress bring back some of those pastels from your summer wardrobe and work them into an autumn look – try this orange shirt £55.00 from Cos underneath the dress and then team with this yellow pastel blazer £135.00 also from Cos. 

Finish the look with thick black tights, and some easy to wear boots like these Zara ones £49.99.

To take the dress into an edgier evening look give it a gothic twist with lacey tights from ASOS £9.00, and pop on a statement necklace like this fab creation from ASOS £50.00, a slick of this Wicked lipstick from Topshop £9.00 will ensure you fashion rather than fancy dress!

To really finish off your look step out the box and try layering this gorgeous fur gilet from Zara £239.00 and a pop of colour with this cranberry carry all leather pouch from American Apparel £48.00.
