Winter Essentials!

I was thinking of adding Autumn/Fall into the title of this blog post but of course it's now Winter! We should know this as the John Lewis, M&S and Coca Cola Christmas adverts are finally shown on television!

Here are just a few essentials that I think are necessary for this season, especially living in the UK's climate! You can of course adjust these items to your personal style or budget so let's gooo!

The first essential has got to be a warm hat! I chose to show you this hat in particular because it's Christmas related and I'm getting too excited, too early! Any hat is a 'must' for this season. I did a blog post on hats so click here if you'd like to read that!

This hat was only £3.50 from Primark and it's adorable!

As well as hats, or if you aren't a 'hat person' then a wool ear-warmer is essential for keeping our ears warm and adding a little something to a cute, Winter outfit! 

This was of course from H&M and was about £4.50, another bargain from the store:P

There's nothing I love more than having a warm hot water bottle beneath my feet and a beautiful scented candle burning. Hot water bottles are a symbol of those cold Winter days where you just stay inside and snuggle up all day!

The candle I've chosen is my new obsession in terms of scents! Urban Outfitters have such lovely candles for £6 which I think is quite reasonable considering it's an expensive store in general so I'm still loving that!

A lot of boys in my age group seem to be addicted to Topman socks and to be fair they are extremely cool! Never fear, it's not only for the boys! Topshop also sell a wide range of socks for women and they have the deal of 3 for £8 so I picked up these Gingerbread socks along with some black and white frilly ones.

If you're looking for something a bit warmer then sleep socks are great. The ones above the gingerbread ones are from Primark and are so snuggly and are brilliant for, well keeping my feet warm really:P I was surprised with the quality of these as they were only £2.50 and they're so soft and warm!

I've talked about this particular pattern in my Tartan Blog post and I now own this tartan scarf from Urban Outfitters. I received this as a gift for my birthday and it's so soft and has quite a variety of colours so it can go with anything! I really recommend a tartan as it's a style statement and will of course keep you warm on chilly walks to town or the countryside.

The last essential is a blanket. My current blanket is a plain white one from Primark. Oh my word. It's so soft and I love getting home and wrapping it around me to keep me warm. It's definitely easier than dragging your duvet all the way to your living room!

There are of course more essentials I could drag on about but the ones I've talked about in this post I feel are the most important as little extras. Of course clothes and shoes are probably the most essential, but these are just small things that make a difference in an outfit or your body temperature:P

Sweater Weather!

I love this time of year as I get to snuggle up in cosy jumpers which keep me so warm! I know most of you must feel this way and although it's nice to wear shorts and t-shirts in the summer, it's lovely getting to pop on a soft, warm jumper in the Winter time!

I don't tend to wear baggy things as they don't tend to be flattering on me but I think that baggy jumpers suit every figure and shape as they go with everything and aren't too baggy to make you look frumpy but aren't too tight that you're showing off a bit too much:P

Go buy one of these as you don't really need tons of them unless you'll be wearing them very often. They are an Autumn/Winter essential and look really sweet with black skinny jeans or leggings with a cute pair of boots!

Here are 3 of my favourite types of jumpers/sweaters for this time of year!

This is the most recent jumper I've bought and surprise surprise, it's from H&M :P! I really liked the style of jumper, it's almost a cable knit all over and it's just very sweet. It's a sort of grey-ish white colour and is very cosy and would look lovely with collared shirts to layer with!

This is a different style to the first jumper, it's a cropped sweater which are always brilliant for pairing with high waisted items such as jeans or skirts! This one was from TK Maxx so unfortunately it won't be available to purchase but of course there'll always be stores selling cropped sweaters!

I bought this when I was in Belfast in a store called Exhibit. This is a very light blue, almost a light turquoise and is so soft it should be illegal! I've had this since April and it's still so warm and snuggly!

I tend to wear this on a lazy day around the house whereas I like to wear the other two jumpers out because they aren't as baggy as this one and go with more things, but this jumper is perfect for lounging around on cold winter days!
