I need a new beanie for this winter. Ive found a few that I really like across high street stores but when I noticed this one, in Topman of all places, I knew it was my favourite. Its soft, and the colours are cute. Don't care if its supposed to be sat ontop of a guys head.
I think I will loosely curl my hair, with my black eye liner and my favourite red Mac lippie. Sorry guys, this beanie will look better of us girls this winter!

Day and Night: MAWI EARRINGS
Every woman has them, and every woman does it. I am referring to the simple wardrobe staples and the ability to dress them up for the night time and dresss them down for the day. I, however do it with the majority of my wardrobe. I am talking maybe 85-90% of it. I can easily wear that tight bodycon dress that i wear out, during the day with some flat pumps, and oversized bag and a leather jacket, and wearing the high waisted shorts with a pair of skyscraper ankle boots rather than converse, is a simple and effective switch to make.
I have, however, realised that I don't apply the same dressing method to my jeans. Maybe cos I own two pairs of jeans, and rarely wear them. But since the cold weather has decended upon us, when walking my dog, I've both ruined my black skinnies and fallen back in love with them at the same time. I think some staple shopping is in order before christmas.
Anyway, this is, about a pair of earrings, I spotted whilst browsing mywardrobe.com. I have 5 days until payday so this is a ridiculously, silly thing to do. I create a mental list, by the time friday comes, I would have forgotten most of it.
A simple way to liven up your wardrobe staple jeans and t-shirt. For the day; Nike Blazers, Zara slouch bag. For Night; Zara studded leather clutch and suede Charlotte Olympia heels. Jeans are Topshop, t-shirt by Acne and MAWI earrings.
When I think about it I could probably very easily recreate these looks by delving into those monster wardobes I have.
If you ever have a spare afternoon, look through your wardrobe and start pairing things that you wouldnt normally wear together, with each other. Believe me its so easy and once I started doing it, it actually started changing the way I looked at pieces I wanted in the shops before buying them. If youve read back in this blog you'll know that, I can like an item of clothing, but as soon as I start building outfit ideas in my head thats when I fall in love with it.

Wishlist: ANKLE BOOT edit
I, like most women these days are addicted to ankle boots. I have a fair few pairs as it is but you can never have enough. In my opinion, one little detail, can make or break an outfit. Consider this, you create the perfect outfit in your head, with clothes you already own, with shoes that you already adore, but theres something missing.... I cant tell you how many times I've put together an outfit and thought, well that would look SO much better if that bag, had studds!
The same applies for shoes.... I might have to be a careful buyer but that doeesnt stop me wanting many variations of the same thing. Take for example; I have a pair of leopard print heels, from Office. They are a few years old, but I still love them like I did the day I saw them, but I bought a pair of heeled ankle boots as the variation. They are from Topshop, the print is almost identical as is the fact that they are both ponyskin. But sometimes the ankle boot looks better than the shoe and vice versa.
I'm babbling, my point here is; same boot, three colours? WHY NOT!!! We've all seen Sex and the City....It's a womans right to shoes, even if youre more into bags, or watches, or rings, every woman loves a shoe! I am no exception. I have run out of space, they fill the space under my bed, they are crammed in one of my three wardrobes and yet there are still boxes stacked in the corner and pairs lined up on top of magazines and books on shelves. I dare not count them.
This Christmas, the first thing on my whishlist (aside from a cream faux fur gilet for Topshop) is a new air of ankle boots. I've sub conciously sent the last few weeks noticing many pairs on my visits to shops, now there are far too many pairs for me to choose from! I am a little overwhelmed to say the least. will I choose, another black or brown pair, or maybe i'll go after a beautiful purple velvet pair with barouque stitching....(Or maybe i'll put them on my christmas list and see how lucky I get).
I've put together small edit of some of my favourites, and if any of my family manage to read this, take the hint, alright?
Topshop 'PRAIRIE 3' Black stitched velvet boots. Zara Cream boot with zip and red insert.Topshop 'ADIOS2' Black suede studded boot. Topshop 'AFLAME' Black suede studded boot. Topshop 'ADIOS' Brown Suede boot. Miss Selfridge Black simple harness boot. Topshop 'ANARCHY' brown western chelsea boot. Topshop 'ACCENT' navy stud cut out boot. Jeffery Campbell at office stud harness boots. Miss Selfridge 'Amelie' tan suede cowboy boot. Zara Cream studded ankle boot. Topshop 'AGGRO' black studded ankle boot. Jeffery Campbell at Office black leather Benetar ankle boot. Topshop 'PROUDLOCK' Premium black leather studded ankle boot. River Island brown square toe western akle boot.
Oh if I had the money there would be no complaints. Maybe I should start playing the lottery??
Which ones would you choose? Help a girl out here!!
