November 2015 Outfits

December 2, 2015 By in Fashion, Outfit Post Tags: , , , , , , , , , , 46 Comments

November was an interesting month, as far as outfits are concerned. I played around with my style,experimented with various designs, colours and fabrics, and I loved it. I had 4 outfit posts last month, and all 4 outfits were very different, each stood out and was unique in its own way. November 2015 outfits have been the best ever in my opinion. I enjoyed styling every one of them

Here are the outfits:

OOTD: The Cape Dress

OOTD Cape Dress

This Luxemme cape dress was the highlight of this look. It is very different from my usual dresses, the dramatic cape stands out, and I love it paired with the black Next tights and Faith shoes. It is a great Christmas party outfit idea.

OOTD: Black Friday Outfit

All Black OOTD

This was the most viewed outfit post for the month of November, and I am not surprised it was. I hardly wear black from head to toe, but I love it when I do. The outfit speaks volume and it was for Black Friday, so I guess I inspired a bunch of fashionistas around the world to rock all black. Thanks guys for viewing this post, and helping me break the internet.

OOTD: The Chrismas Long Sleeve Top

Fashion and Style

This outfit is all about Christmas and I love that about it. I remember wearing this Christmas top around the town, running errands here and there, and getting looks of admiration from passersby. Even if you are not a Christmas jumper lover, this Jolly Clothing top would get you straight into the mood. I love it, and I will be wearing it a lot this season.

OOTD: The Fancy Dress Challenge

1920s Dress

And finally, the fancy 1920s flapper dress is the final outfit post for November 2015. This outfit is all about old school glamour, and chic, and I LOVE everything about the look. It took me outside my comfort zone, and I enjoyed styling it.

 

So there are my looks for last month, which is your favourite look and why? Drop me a comment, let’s chat.

Thanks for reading and have a good one.

George Secret Santa

George Secret Santa

I took part in the #GeorgeSecretSanta challenge some weeks ago, and it was so much fun. Myself and a group of bloggers chosen by Santa’s little helpers – Talented Talkers, exchanged gifts from George’s Christmas Shop. I received my lovely gifts some days ago from my Secret Santa, courtesy of George, and I am so impressed, because these are items I would have chosen myself. I enjoyed taking part in this challenge, I had the pleasure of stalking the life out of my Secret Santa partner, I went through her amazing blog and social media accounts, and tried to get into her head, to select the right gifts for her. I think I did a good job, and I hope she loves the gifts I got for her.

 

The Lucky Mug

George Gifts

Now back to my gifts, my Secret Santa choose amazing items from the choices for her gifts section, I love this white mug with initial on it. This is my first mug with my initial and I now call it ‘my lucky mug’, ha!

 

The Needed Clutch

This gem embellished Aztec shoulder bag is a beauty to behold. It has actually filled up a void in my wardrobe. I have been lacking clutch bags for a while now and recently got a black clutch from Oasis, so having this silver embellished beauty as well means I won’t have to worry about clutches for a while now. Thank you Santa for paying attention.

 

The First Candle Gift Set

Candles

This Baylis & Harding luxury fragrance candle gift set is my first ever candle gift set. I have recently fallen in love with candles, thanks to all the Yankee Candle reviews (thanks guys). So I am now exploring candles, and discovering fragrances I like. I can’t wait to try these out.

The Skincare Pamper Gift Set

I love Dove products, they are perfect for my skin, so this set would be used up immediately, and that quilted wash bag will be my new travel companion. I have already started using the Purely Pampering Nourishing lotion and body wash, and I have only good things to say about these products. You might be reading a full review of them soon, so watch this space.

The Winter Snood

George Snood

This faux fur snood will be great to rock on cold days. I love the colour and the soft feel of the faux fur. Lovely snood.

 

What do you think of my gifts? You can tell by now that I love every one of my presents. Thank you Secret Santa, thank you George.

Have a great Monday everyone.

 

 

 

 

Christmas Gifts Ideas For The ‘Tricky To Buy For’

November 10, 2015 By in Beauty, Fashion, Lifestyle Tags: , , , , , , , , , , 24 Comments

If you are anything like me, then you are still shopping for Christmas Gifts, I am so last-minute when it comes to Christmas presents, I don’t know how the early birds get them sorted so quickly. We all know that one person that has everything, and seems to need nothing. It is always so difficult deciding on what to buy for them during Christmas or any other time, and I know how difficult it could be because I know some ‘tricky ones’ myself, so here is a handy list of some unusual gifts to help you decide on what to get for your loved ones this Christmas.

Fitbit Charge Wireless Activity & Sleep £99

I have one of these, and I think they are coolest gadgets ever. They would make a great gift this Christmas.

Dior Makeup Multi Use Palette £68

A multi-look palette is great for all skin types and it can take you from day-to-night easily. It would make a great gift this season.

Jimmy Choo Illicit 40ml £41.50

Jimmy Choo

I recently received this perfume as a gift (I will be reviewing it soon, so look out for the post), and it is such a modern floral fragrance. Prices start from £41.50 for a small 40ml bottle but it is so worth it. Guaranteed to make that special someone smile this season.

Spa Day

Who doesn’t love a good spa day? There is nothing as relaxing as a proper massage, so if you do get stuck on what to get for that special person this Christmas, just get a spa day booked. With some many offers on at the moment, a good shop around will get you a great deal.

Mongolian Faux Fur Longline Gilet Oxblood £35
