I thought I would share with you all my favourite Golden Globe red carpet dresses (& one Lanvin jumpsuit). From looking at them I have had the realisation that I am attracted to sparkly things. Most of these looks include metallics or embellishment & I love them!

My favourite is Sienna Miller in MiuMiu. At the moment I am obsessed with her style & she didn't disappoint with this dress. Embellished, plunge neckline & beautiful pastel shade all that teamed with her short choppy hair, perfect modern red carpet look!

Which look was your favourite?

WISHLIST. JANUARY



At this time of year I struggle with what to buy. I want to buy lots of snuggly jumpers, large warm coats & numerous pairs of boots because I am so cold. Although I know that soon it will be time to pack the winter wardrobe away & bring out the summer dresses.

This January I am being strict & only buying transitional pieces which will take me from winter into spring. This wishlist is made up of pieces that I would wear both now & in the warmer months when styled with different things.

Make sure to check back next week, I will be putting together a post showing you how to style just my wishlist items to create a variety of outfits.

What do you think to this months wishlist & which items do you think I should rush out & buy?

DAY AT THE FARM













Coat // ASOS
Scarf // ASOS (alternative from ASOS)
Jumper // PRIMARK (alternative from H&M)
Jeans // TOPSHOP
Boots // HUNTER

This outfit post may be a little late as It involves Christmas trees & wreaths but I still thought I would upload it. Before Christmas I did the usual family winter walk & visited a local farm for breakfast, it definitely got me in the festive spirit. 

The only problem with these walks is what do you choose to wear with the freezing temperatures & very likely chance of rain. I opted for what is the warmest coat I have ever owned. When I wear it I feel like I have taken a sleeping bag out with me, it is so cosy & a must for winter. I was a little worried about the colour to start with as it is very bright but when it arrived I fell in love!

The jeans & jumper are my go to staples suitable for every season & they are so comfy perfect for cosy, wintery days. The scarf is unfortunately sold out but I have found a very similar alternative. I would definitely recommend purchasing this scarf, so warm, comfy, goes with everything & I have had lots of compliments. 

Finally the footwear choice was the wellington boot ready for puddle jumping. Hunter boots were my winter treat to myself, they are on the expensive side but if you wear wellies a lot and want to treat yourself I would say they are worth it!

What do you think of the outfit? Let me know in the comments below.
