Grey Days
14 December 2016
Lister Park, UK
Hope you’re having a great week! There’s something about a crisp winter day that is just exhilarating to walk in. Despite the cold, I’ve been spending a lot more time this winter, and I’m loving it. Not only do I now workout in the colder temperature (post coming soon!), but I’ve learned to appreciate the environment around me.
As much as I do adore being outside, I can’t escape the cold. This super comfy tailored coat has been in my closet for absolutely ages, and I finally decided to dust it off and bring it back. I wore it in an outfit post back in 2014 – but we don’t need to revisit that time. Back then, I loved the oversized look and I still do now. It’s a little too big for me, so I’ve officially announced this coat as oversized chic. The great thing about grey is that it’s so easy to dress with colour colours, especially lighter ones.
I feel like lighter jeans aren’t as popular now, but I still love them. I picked up this comfy pair from Next way back when, as still love them today. Likewise, this poppy-print camisole top is from the amazing TK Maxx, and is a wardrobe favourite. I think I’m definitely going to explore wearing more bright patterns in 2017 because I’m suddenly fallen for them!
Today I’m carrying my favourite bag by Boutique of Molly: the Tokyo Bag. The longer strap is great for stylish walks around the bag, and not too clunky, so I can carry all my essentials and still be hands-free!

Woolly Winter

Winter fashion means one thing for me, bring on the jumpers.
They’re such an amazing fashion piece, and the thicker or cosier, the better. I
feel like I have an endless supply of jumpers all over my house, from the
amazing oversized knits to the slightly-too-small/too-scared-to-throw-away
jumper. As I live in the North, I can basically wear jumpers in the summer, but
chillier days means I can bring out the big guns.
Sadly, I can’t wear 100% wool because it irritates my skin,
but this doesn’t stop me! I love the cosy and warm feeling a wool blend adds to
jumper, so it’s the one thing I look for. Over time, I’ve been running out of
ways to style jumpers, until I came across a look on Pinterest, and wanted to try it out
myself. It reminds me a little bit of the drop-waist trend, and I’m feeling it!
All I needed was a jumper (check), a skater skirt (check),
and over the knee boots…(check)! One thing I noticed, was that the jumper was
oversized and almost as long as the skirt, so I basically copied this look. It’s
something a little different for me, but I really like the unique look. I haven’t
worn a skater skirt since they were the huge Tumblr trend back in ’08. Still, I
hold onto little gems like this cotton number because it’s a timeless closet
essential, and I can pair it with most items in my closet.
Similarly, over-the-knee boots are a new must for me. I was never into them
before, until I got my fair pair and now I wear them everywhere. I adore these
boots because they have a smaller heel, so I can still wear them in a formal
setting without ending up with burning feet!

One of my favourite things about living in Yorkshire is the
scenery that’s simply footsteps away. It’s one of the main reasons I won’t move
to London, I need these kind of views every day. I live in a tiny village in
the West of Yorkshire, with moors right outside my bedroom windows. However,
between the moors and my house, is this huge valley which everyone just calls “The
Woods”. It’s easily become my happy place, because it’s hidden, untouched and
peaceful. The only sounds you can hear are from the brook that runs through the
valley and hundreds of birds. It’s one of the best places to run away to, and
as it’s so close to home I’m there basically every day.
All About That Backpack
30 November 2016
Happy last day of November! I’m making it a thing, it’ll
catch on. It’s so unbelievably cold right now. Actually, it is believably cold
because it’s winter, but I feel like it’s an English think to talk about how
the weather is totally unexpected no matter what time of year it is.
