Walking In A Winter Wonderland

I'm sure you're well and truly aware, but winter has certainly arrived here in the UK! A blessing and curse all at once, it seems as though us in the Midlands and those in Wales have gotten the brunt of the snow this time around. There's so much to love about the snow, yet I despise it all at the same time.

I love how Christmassy the snow makes me feel, especially in the run-up to the special day; I love seeing how happy all the kids are, knowing that they're able to spend the day sledding and making snowmen, and the fashion; I love being able to pull out my chunkiest scarves, oversized coats and wooly hats; I absolutely love it all!

But at the same time I'm absolutely terrified; terrified of slipping on the ice, as well as driving on it too! I'm sure many countries who receive feet upon feet of the stuff are probably laughing at how us Brits handle the situation - cancelling schools, having days of work, public transport grinds to a near halt etc. but in retrospect we're just not used to this weather here. I don't know what it's like where you live, but 90% of the time when in snows in my town, it just doesn't stick that much, and if it does it's simply a light coating, not the 4-5 inches we received in a few hours yesterday. Plus what's the point in purchasing snow tyres to use once every few years when the snow decides to stick?

My Coat Collection

As Winter is drawing to end (even though it's still freezing here in the UK), I thought now would be the perfect time to show you one of my biggest obsessions this season...COATS! I have created a video on my YouTube channel to show you each of my coats, but I also thought it would be a great idea to write a little blog post to tell you about each and every coat in a little bit of detail.

 

 

One Outfit, Two Ways / The 12 Days of Blogmas #12

So it's the 12th day of the 12 Days of Blogmas and I can't quite believe I've managed to blog every single day! To some degree I doubted that I'd be able to do it, as I sometimes struggle putting two posts up a week, but I'm so happy that I've achieved it! These twelve days have been such a boost for not only my blog (in terms of stats), but also for me. All of the great comments that I receive from each and every post motivates me to continue blogging and to continuously improve and learn new things. This month has really been the best month for my blog and me as a whole, so thank you to anyone who took the time to read even one post! Thank you!

 

 

As this is the final day of Blogmas as Christmas is tomorrow...yes I know, crazy?! I decided that I would blog about one of my favourite things. Fashion. If you've been on my blog over the last few weeks, you may have seen that I've started posting more fashion related posts than I previously had been a few months ago. This is mainly because I've now enlisted my mum as my photographer (haha), as I felt that my blog was something I was proud of and have finally started telling more people, but also because fashion is one of my main passions, and my interest in it is continuously increasing. I know that compared to many other bloggers, my style in no way has that unique flair, but this is my little corner of the internet where I feel that, although not always different, I can share what I've been loving with others and maybe someone will in one way or another benefit from that.

It's A Fur Thing / The 12 Days of Blogmas #6

 

I can't quite believe I'm halfway through my 12 Days of Blogmas, meaning it's only a week until Christmas...WHAT?! This year in my opinion has just flown by. Anyone else agree? Anyway, getting on to the point of this post; today I decided to show you one of my favourite outfits that I'm wearing consistently during this colder weather. I've definitely been loving some more classic and simple outfits recently, and I think this particular one reflects my personal style right now perfectly!

My Christmas Wishlist / The 12 Days of Blogmas #4

Like most bloggers out there, I probably always have some sort of wishlist on the go. But as the festive season is upon us, I decided to create this wishlist to show you what I've been lusting over and would love to see under the tree this year.

But first of all, I would just like to say that I know that I will not be receiving all of these gifts and that I'll be very lucky to receive even one of them. I'm extremely thankful for any gifts that I do receive and this list is just a little guide (and if I really do want something, I'll just have to save up some money after Christmas).

A Coat Obsession

I don't know about you, but over these past few months I've had an unhealthy obsession with coats. I've never usually been one to obsess over coats, but this season they seem to have been such a big fashion trend, with new styles of coats entering stores. Coats seem to be the only thing I think about purchasing recently.

 

I scoured both ASOS and Topshop and these were some of my favourites on both sites! Personally I'm a lover of long, oversized, classic coats, which I think you'll be able to tell by from picks.
