Hello Everyone

Last month I thought I'd give myself a mental day, purely because the seasons had finally begun changing, and for as long as I can remember, I've always associated September/Autumn with fresh beginnings. So I gave myself the day off and had a mini reading session in the park.

It was quite comforting to hear nothing but birds chirping, the water fountain and the occasional flick of the pages in my book. It was a day well deserved, and I think it should be more of weekly thing rather than monthly!

Hello Everyone

Last week I had to run a few errands, and by checking the weather forecast I noticed that it was way too cold to leave my house with just one layer on. As I mentioned in a recent post, I really want to try again with layering this winter (read it here). And with the UK being extremely cold lately, it would've been a death wish to leave in just a jumper haha. So I constructed an outfit with my favourite colours for the winter/autumn, and my favourite items in general. 

Those of you who have been reading my blog for a long time, know that I love this scarf and it is pulled out the weather hits anywhere near 2 degrees (hahha its true) and it has been one of the best things that I have purchased from COS (similar here), along with this coat from GAP (similar here). Then I just decided to finish off the look with a turtleneck from UNIQLO, my favourite navy jumper and these super cute trousers from GAP.

On Boxing Day, I took a trip down to London (check out my vlog here) in order to take my brother back home, and made a little stop off in some shops to see what was what, and I must say, I liked what I saw. I'm also pleased to say that the warm embrace of Boxing Day was clearly present and I was able to get some great bargains!

White Trainers | CLARKS
I believe every person needs a good pair of white trainers, one especially with high quality. One of the main things that I wanted to ensure, was that I had at least one timeless piece in my wardrobe, be it clothing or shoes, as they can be styled either up or down, during the day or the night or just for running errands and thanks to December 26th for existing, I was able to do so.

White Long Sleeve | UNIQLO
As the colder weathers are still underway, the art of layering is still heavily present and necessary. So I once again decided to invest in some investment pieces that I know I will be able to wear for Winters and Autumns to come. With this white long-sleeve, I can definitely see myself pairing it up with either a v-neck jumper and the warmest coat you can imagine.

Camel Flannel Shirt | UNIQLO
This shirt definitely spoke out to me in ways no shirt usually does. The awkward length of the sleeves, and the sudden stop of the buttons... Everything was just so perfectly pieced together, and the main aspect that topped it all off for me, was the unexpected use of flannel, a match made in heaven did you say?!

Black Fleece Turtleneck | UNIQLO
I already had this turtleneck in a lighter cream colour, but I couldn't help myself and decided to go back for some more, but only this time in a larger size and a darker colour. Despite being a turtleneck and providing more warmth than other items of clothing, the added fleece texture definitely makes this turtleneck one to keep around, and actually doesn't require you to play the Winter game of layering.

Coconut Hand Lotion | & OTHER STORIES
This hand lotion took me by surprise as it was purchase that made purely because it was close to the till. But I must say, it was definitely worth the price, and surprise. The smell is just damn right gorgeous, as the scent leaves you feeling refreshed and its super smooth, leaving the hands feeling like they're ready for anything.
