Snuggly Winter OOTD: Ft. Blue Vanilla*

Well, Happy New Year (better late than never!) I can't believe this is my first post of 2015, I'm an absolutely awful blogger. College is wearing me down at the minute, so I need to concentrate on my exams and coursework. I'll try and keep up with my blog but expect fewer posts from me over these next few months. Hopefully I'll be back to normal fairly soon though (I have a few posts lined up that I'm looking forward to writing).

I recently received this gorgeous Reanna Roll Neck Checked Poncho from Blue Vanilla the other week and it's perfect for winter. I've wanted a poncho for a while now, so when I got this delivered I knew it was spot on as soon as I tried it on. You can throw it on over pretty much any outfit; it's like being snuggled in a big blanket!

The checked pattern is really trendy as well and the subtle design adds a bit of colour, but also keeps it basic, making it versatile! It comes in one size, so fits pretty much everybody and it has a thick roll neck so it keeps me warm in the chilly weather.

It reminds me of a big, warm picnic blanket with the frayed hemline at the bottom. I love wearing this when I haven't got much to wear, as I can throw it on top of my outfit and no-one will ever know what dreadful top I'm wearing underneath!

This originally cost £30.00 but has reduced down to £15.00. 

Check out Blue Vanilla here.

I'll definitely be shopping here in the Spring! It looks like a great online shop filled with my sort of clothes!

Wanted: Winter Boots

It's that time of year again - welcome to my cold feet, winter boots! I love a good pair of boots, they're so cosy and there's so many out there that you can find to go with plenty of outfits! I like to have a pair of boots with a good grip on the bottom, perfect for when the paths start getting icy. It's also nice to have a pair that look classy and are great to go shopping in. And then there's the everyday type of boot - casual and pretty-looking!

1. H&M Knee-High Boots - £34.99
I fell in love with these as soon as I saw them and they have to be one of my favourite pairs that I picked out! They're suede and have a zip at the side; they look really sophisticated! 

2. Boohoo Whitney Suedette Pointed Block Chelsea Boot - £28.00
These plain casual boots are perfect for wearing everyday and would go with a variety of outfits. I'd probably wear these for college; they look comfy and I like the little added heel.

3. New Look Tan Faux Fur Lined Cross Strap Boots - £19.99
Ideally, I'd wear these in the snow as they're really similar to Ugg boots (and Ugg boots are the only shoes that keep my feet warm in the snow - wellies are awful!) I love boots that are lined with soft fur on the inside; they're incredibly comfy - and cute!

4. New Look Tan Faux Shearling Cuff Lace Up Block Heel Boots - £29.99
Another favourite pair that I picked out. I can't stop looking at these, they're absolutely stunning! If you have these, I'm incredibly jealous haha! I love the fact that they're lace up and have a fur cuff; you can also get these in black! I don't normally like wearing a heel during the day (even a small one) but I know that boots with a heel have become popular to wear these days - so I could possibly brave these for college!

5. H&M Ankle Boots - £29.99
Another pair with fur lining. I love tanned boots lately and these look incredibly comfy! They're similar to the second pair, but these look like they have more of a grip on the bottom, which is ideal for snow. They're also quite stretchy, so easy to just slip on.


6. New Look Black Leather Buckle Trim High Leg Boots - £64.99
Another classy pair that are incredibly attractive! Even though they're quite pricey (sadly because they're real leather) they drew me in straight away. I think every girl wants a pair of gorgeous black boots - but at the moment I can only dream haha!

It pains me to say that I probably won't be buying all of these, but a girl can dream! Maybe if I win the lottery or something ;)

Will you be investing in a new pair of winter boots?

OOTD: Faux Fur And Jeans

Hi everyone! I know I haven't done a post in nearly a week, but I've been quite busy (and also have a mild case of blogger's block) however, I'm hoping to have more posts up this week.

I thought I would show you my outfit that I'm wearing today. It's still very cold at the moment, so I thought I would wear my leopard print fur headband/hat from Next. It keeps my ears warm and also covers up a bad hair day!

I'm also wearing a dark purple woolly jumper from River Island teamed with a black leather jacket from New Look. I love this jacket, as you can wear it throughout the year. It has a black fur collar which is suitable for Winter, which you can remove if you choose to wear the jacket in Spring.

I'm also wearing some skinny jeans from Next. I wear these jeans quite regularly; I've had them for a while and they are great quality.

This is quite a quick post for today; it's hard to photograph OOTDs but hopefully I'll find a good place to take photos very soon!

Wish List: In Need Of A New Dress

First of all, I'd like to say a huuuge thank you to everyone who has followed me over these past few weeks. I've been blogging for around two months now and I reached 100 followers on Bloglovin' during Wednesday's blogger chat on Twitter, so thank you very much!! 

I thought I would do a different kind of post today. I see these types of posts frequently posted on various blogs that I follow and I really wanted to have a go at one myself.

Now that I'm 18 I would like to go out more often, so I'm in need of more 'going out' clothes. I'm a big fan of LBDs, but I want to add a splash of colour into my wardrobe, therefore I've chosen a variety of dresses from New Look's website that I like the look of.

1. White Floral Print Edge Bodycon Dress, £22.99

I think this is such a pretty, elegant dress and the colour 'white' makes a change to what I usually wear. The floral print around the edges of the dress outlines your figure and the three-quarter length sleeves means you won't be too cold if you're going out at this time of year. Also, the floral design is perfect for when Spring arrives, so I would be able to wear this dress for the next few months!

2. Blue Round Neck Cap Sleeve Bodycon Dress, £12.99

Another bodycon! I love figure hugging dresses for when I go out and I find that bright blue really suits me. I absolutely love simple dresses like this, as you can add accessories to jazz it up, as well as a cute clutch bag and heels.

3. Blue Short Sleeve Skater Dress, £19.99

I chose this dress as it looks versatile; I could wear it during the day with leggings and boots, or dress it up and wear it in the evening with black tights. I like the fact that it's tight around the waist and then flares slightly out; very flattering!

4. Red Space Dye 3/4 Sleeve Bodycon Dress, £14.99

I absolutely adore the pattern of this dress (plus it has three-quarter length sleeves like the first dress, which I'm a fan of!) I would either add some chunky black boots with this, or heels! This dress has got a grunge feel about it, which would look great with dark nails!

New Look is one of my favourite shops; the clothes and shoes are gorgeous (and they're not too expensive!) I've loved doing this type of post, plus it's my first fashion-related post. I think I might do more of these quite soon!:-)

Which shop do you prefer to buy dresses from?

Winter Warmers: Big Socks

Hi everyone! This is a very random post but I absolutely LOVE these big socks haha! I can't get enough of them. Not only are they really cute but they're soooo warm and comfy. They're very thick and are fluffy inside, which helps to keep your feet nice and warm when lounging around the house.

The woolly, knitted texture makes them super soft and I love the pom-poms on the front. You can get them from Next in a variety of colours and I usually wear them around the house. I like to wear them instead of slippers, as they have grips on the bottom to make sure you don't slip on laminate flooring!

These socks can also make a great little Christmas present; I love getting presents like this for Christmas as they come in useful! Fluffy socks, onesies, gloves etc; I love presents like these!

Thanks for reading! 

Have a nice week everyone! :-)
