Casual Christmas Party

I Am Wearing : 
Gold Metallic Cardigan - c/o OASAP Black V-Neck T-Shirt - Primark Ripped Knee Jeans - c/o Boohoo Heels - Zara
  It's officially party season and that means - its time to get dressed up, throw your heels up and enjoy yourself!
It also means that you have to plan lots of party appropriate outfits and some times at the last min - you know, when your friend rings you up to be her "work party date" because her boyfriend has man-flu etc!
My TOP TIP for quick party glamour and my go-to, fall back , easy option, never fails outfit is - 
skinny jeans + basic tee + glam jacket / blazer or cardigan in this case + cute heels or sparkly flats + coordinated or clashing clutch + Glam lips (if the colour can match your shoes and bag then even more amaze!) = party ready in 20 mins (ish)
Go forth and party my little dance-floor Queens (and Kings)
Merry Christmas
XOXO

Vintage Christmas

I Am Wearing : 
Bowler Hat - Primark Vintage Christmas Sweater - Beyond Retro  Check Swing Skirt - Asos Pink Boyfriend Coat - New Look Croc Boots - BHS
So this year the Christmas jumper seems to have TAKEN OFF! With heaps of novelty Christmas jumper all over the high street I decided that for this years #ChristmasJumperDay I would go with something a little different!
As you already know I am a massive fan of all things vintage - affordable and good for the environment - whats not to love.  So when I came across this little cutie in Beyond Retro (the Brick Lane store is my fav) I instantly new it would make a great alternative festive jumper!
Christmas jumper are the MOST fun and I love wearing them - just remember that they don't all have to be covered in Santa's and snowmen!
Merry Christmas Folks (I think its safe to start saying this right?)
