Kick It!
These River Island and Boohoo boots are a dead ringer for Balenciaga and I have a real hankering for some cut out boots. The Missguided burgundy 'Sienna' cut out boots are a great alternative too. I'd pair them with skinny jeans and glittery socks and velvet dresses with ASOS cat tights.

Nailed it:
Nail art is a trend that has exploded and it ain't going nowhere. House
of Holland's range of nail sets are amazing, from the 'Face Ache' one to the
'Tweed' set and every one in between, I'd be happy to wear any of them on my
nails. The ones I am particularly after are the 'Heartbreaker' set. The right
balance between quirky and classy, they are perfect for any occasion and at a
mere £7.99 a set they're great value for money. Having tried and tested
Topshop's Halloween themed nail wraps, I am far too excited to spy two
Christmas themed nail wrap sets. Whether it's fairisle prints or reindeer and snowmen
you are after, Topshop has you covered.
Tartan? Checked:
Tartan is 2013's winter print. Tartan can channel a Made In Chelsea,
country retreat, vibe or a grungy, punk edge or even a softer vintage
look; very versatile indeed! I love J'adore Vintage's update on the summer
skort trend by doing them in tartan print. Lavish Alice has some brilliant
tartan pieces, from playsuits to bodycon dresses, there is something for
everyone (plus, hello free UK delivery!). Topshop's velvet tapered trousers is
just the stuff of dreams and the grey check dress is a more casual style.

It's SO Fluuuuuufffffffy:
Besides from giving me an excuse to quote Despicable Me,
fluffy jumpers are a cool way of keeping warm this autumn winter. Textures has
become a significant feature in trends and the fluffy/eyelash material is super
soft, not too thick so it's ideal for layering and it is a glorious throwback to
Cher Horowitz. Jumpers often come in a variety of styles; New Look as a cropped
t-shirt range as well as long sleeved version and River Island has soft pastel
cardigans as well as jumpers.

Tee-hee:
Slogan tops are all the rage at the moment; whether you are wearing the
real deal or a witty high street reworking, they are a good wardrobe staple.
H&M and River Island offer some brilliant tees and tops that I can imagine
Cara Delevingne sporting. Nylonshop, borne from Nylon magazine, has an endless
supply of sassy, sloganed tops that are adored by many. Dress up or down, you
can never have too many tees, especially ones featuring sausage dogs.
Clockwise:
Meoow tee, H&M
And now, for the mother of all Christmas jumpers...
I mean, seriously, could Eleven Paris get any cooler?!!
Let's just hope Father Christmas has taken up reading fashion blogs!
