Wearing berry and feeling truly merry for Christmas! Hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas.
Again, it's been a while since I last posted, I have neglected my hobby and love for blogging lately. Just due to finding the time really. Any how... I thought I would get some outfit shots to share whilst enjoying the festivities over Christmas. What a fabulous one it has been, it has definitely gone to fast, but none the less it has been lovely as always to spend lots of quality time with family and old friends at home.
Christmas is one of my favourite times of year as its nice to get all festive in the run up and a reason to eat and drink more than usual! And most importantly, to be around loved ones and enjoy Chritsmas traditions. From a fashion prospective, I also like winter layering and big jumpers and coats (I much prefer summer in terms of weather though I have to say).
So this outfit is a mixture of thoughtful and lovingly selected Christmas presents from my amazing Mum, Dad and Nan and Grandad who are just the best, including my little brother of course who got me a lovely, cosy deep pink v neck fluffy jumper, (which I will hopefully post soon).
I ended my Christmas holidays this year with a surprise trip to Manchester with the family. Where we stayed in the Doubletree Hilton. A thoughtful gift from my Mum to my Nan and Grandad, my Brother and I had the pleasure of staying too. Complimentary cookies and delicious cocktails made the stay even better.
There's something quite nice about staying in a hotel in your own city. I think its the luxuries of hotel facilities and views of the city. (Even though I do have great views from my apartment). It was great to be able to take my scouse Grandad around Manchester and visit some old traditional pubs. We shopped, ate and drank and what a good day it was! Even better wearing this outfit which I will talk in a bit of detail below.
I've always been a big lover of stripes! I have recently started taking a liking to vertical stripes. Typically I would go for horizontal stripes as they are said to be more flattering, however this co-ord fits quite nicely and is sooo comfortable. I love that the jumper and trousers can be worn together and separately. I am a big fan of pieces that you can dress up and down. I'm certainly going to wear the trousers with some boots or heels and a dressy top as a night time look and I've recently bought some new Converse which will go well with them for a more laid back casual look.
The distressed leather jacket is also really comfortable and goes with pretty much anything, I like that this jacket is a bit different and looks new but also has that lived in, slightly vintage vibe to it.
My new baby, the chanel'esq bag looks and feels fabulous. I've had my eye on it for a while now, fits more in than you think and is perfect for both day and night looks.
Any one that knows me knows I adore hats, my hat collection keeps growing, from berets, to baker boys and fedrora's. I just love me a hat.
And last but not least my pretty patent boots, which are also from Zara, goes so well with the red stripe in the co-ord and the pop of red in my beret.
HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL - Lets see what 2018 brings! x
