It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas...

Well... there's not a snowflake in sight, and it's far too early for Christmas trees... So that must mean one thing; It's time to dust off your best, worst Christmas Jumpers!

Christmas is my favourite time of year and I discovered these themed jumpers whilst working in a vintage store during University. I earned my much needed pennies every weekend at WILD Clothing in Nottingham. Independently run, it had all the foundations of an authentic, second-hand store. Autumn/Winter was my favourite time working there as that's when all the colourful 80's knits, Halloween Crewsweats and Christmas Jumpers made an appearance.

So, I thought I would show you my first time wearing a festive jumper in 2013! 

Christmas Jumper: WILD Clothing
Jeans: "Spray On Skinny" Topman (my pal gave them to me!)
Shoes: Underground Creepers

I asked my boyfriend to take these photos outside on our balcony just outside our room as the setting is really Autumnal and the area is surprisingly rural for living in the city! 

Hope you like this post! Have any of you got your Christmas Jumpers out yet? Drop your links here!

Faux Fur #1

Faux Fur Coat: Primark
Floral Blouse: Rokit Vintage
Black High-Waisted Jeans: American Apparel
Black Lace Ups: Office

My sister gave me this faux fur cropped coat years ago but I didn't start wearing it straight away. I think I felt a bit too young for it as I was in my early teens, so it wasn't until I went to University that I started to come into my own a bit and appreciate the "look" of vintage. I'm currently working in central London and with a Rokit Vintage store right round the corner, it keeps me occupied on my lunches but is dangerous to my bank balance. I bought this blouse last week and just loved the 80's floral colours. It's a little oversized which is one of my fave styles. Tucking my blouse into my American Apparel high-waisted jeans, my current "fat day" woes had disappeared (quite literally into the jeans).

Handbag: Topshop

Some of you may remember this bag from a previous post. I've probably used it everyday since I bought it. Think it works really well with the coat and helps to complete the look. Definitely worth the pennies so far!

Brooch: My Nana's

What I love to do most with this coat, is pin an eye-catching brooch onto the collar. What I love even more is that this brooch used to be my Nana's. She loved a bit of glitter and glam, so feel she would be very happy to see this combination. It's a very sentimental piece and is treasured everyday.
Hope you enjoyed what I wore today and would love to hear your thoughts!

What I Wore Today…

American Apparel High-Waisted Jeans
Vintage T-Shirt
Vintage Flannel Shirt
Underground Creepers

I’ve just worked 6 days in a row, so on my day off I wanted to wear casual & comfy. I bought these American Apparel jeans a while ago and I just love high-waisters. It’s the only type of trouser I can get away with or felt happy in without having a meltdown in the changing rooms when trying some on for the first time. Pair them with a vintage t-shirt and flannel shirt and what do you get? 90s grunge.
