Burgundy Beanie Magic
26 December 2016
West Yorkshire, UK
As the rest of the look is pretty dark, I wanted a little bit more colour to be featured, which is where the magic beanie comes in. It’s a basic cotton hat, that is probably from the men’s department but I bought it from ASOS anyway. I really like how it brightens up this look, even though it’s not an illuminous colour. I occasionally call it the magic beanie because it’s so easy to put with any look! Casual jeans and a tee, a skater dress, or even a jumper with leggings – the beanie always works.

Coat season is in full swing and I'm absolutely loving it. The great thing about coats is that you can wear them when they're too small and too big - if you style them right. The same method works with jumpers too. The coat I'm wearing today was 'thrifted' while I was window shopping and it's slowly but surely growing on me. At first, I was reluctant to try it on as it's a larger size and doesn't exactly ooze glamour but experiment with my style is a goal of mine. It turns out, this coat is much greater than I could imagine. Although it reminds me a lot of a jacket quite a lot of farmers wear in Yorkshire, I have found it to be really useful as we get closer to winter. I think, although it's very simple it has a vintage-like vibe to it. Grandad fashion is back, I guess. Berry-coloured clothing is naturally more popular in the back end of the year so I was happy to see a nice maroon-like lining inside the coat, and paired with with a lace jumper and cotton beanie.

Woolly Owls
13 October 2014
Eldwick, Bingley, Bingley, West Yorkshire BD16, UK
Mother Nature's in a terrible mood today. Good thing I love beanies. One of the things I look forward to most about the colder seasons is being able to wear coats and beanie hats. I'm not really a hat person, not a lot of styles suit me because they usually make my head look a lot bigger - but I like to wear beanie hats because they keep my head warm and they don't make my head look any bigger than it is. Today's look makes me feel really happy because I think I'm finally embracing autumn. The season's in full swing and the leaves are changing so quickly I can barely keep track. During August, I was struggling with the fact that summer is almost over, so I wouldn't be able to wear my favourite floral dresses without tights because it's way too cold. Nevertheless, my collection of jeans will soon rise to the top of my closet, my favourite leather jacket will become an essential and hi-tops are a must have. Along with my woolly owl beanie hat (that's so incredibly cosy), I have a large collection of scarves, especially knitted ones. I love to feel snug and warm especially when the weather is a little mistral and miserable. My snood scarf is great for windier days because I can wear it as a hood as well around my neck to keep me warm, exceptionally versatile.

Fancy Flannels
9 October 2014
Eldwick, Bingley, Bingley, West Yorkshire BD16, UK
This season, I've really grown to like check or 'flannel' shirts. On Tuesday I wore a monochrome shirt that has become one of my very favourites this season. I've also found that the red, navy and white shirts are really easy to style. Today's shirt actually includes some wool, which means I don't have to heavily layer over the top because it's already very insulating to wear in the brisk breeze. However, if this shirt wasn't so warm, the first jacket that comes to mind is a leather one. Check shirts are an incredibly sophisticated item and I think there would be a style clash if I were to pair this with an long, collared wool coat or duffle. As I want most of the attention to be on my top half, I paired my check button-up with dark jeans and accessories. My berry beanie is also a new autumn favourite, and charcoal jeans have been at the top of my life since the beginning of time. Carrying a simple slouch leather shoulder bag adds some texture to the overall look but also brings out the white highlights in my shoes and shirt. These super soft Nike sneakers are great throughout the year because of their versatile colour and texture. Leather can't be assigned to one season, which is what drew me to the trainers. The colour pairs well with the navy in my shirt and ties the whole look together.

Drop-Waist Winds
6 October 2014
Eldwick, Bingley, Bingley, West Yorkshire BD16, UK
As someone who likes to wear dresses as much as possible, I've had my fair share of Marilyn Monroe moments. Dresses are very easy to style, and I'm incredibly lazy which is the only explanation why I've taken such a liking to them. It's getting so much cooler out, previously we still had the occasionally sunny day but the frost is slowly creeping in and taking over. Tights have become an essential and leaving the house without some sort of cover up is a risk I'm not willing to take. The wind has also begun to pick up, and as I live in the North, it's always way worse. Although autumn and winter are my favourite seasons in the year, I don't really like being cold - not the best combination. The wind can make it almost impossible for me to wear my favourite dresses because they just blow up, especially the skater style. But this drop-waist dress, which I'm slowly getting used to seems to be doing the trick. I can still wear my favourite style of dress without unintentionally flashing strangers in a train station. At some point in time, I have been told that your head always needs to stay warm and this is something that has stuck with me for a while. Beanie hats are a go-to for autumn and this sloppy cotton hat is an excellent autumnal colour. The berry red adds a little splash of colour to my outfit while still keeping the whole ensemble simple and comfortable.
