The Christmas Jumper Challenge Day 12: Tacky Vintage Christmas

So Christmas is over!

Hope you all had a lovely one, I'm not back at work just yet

so although I'm full of cold I'm grateful for the time off :)

So for my final Christmas outfit I wore: 

Black leggings fom Matalan

Red & While Spotty/Polka-Dot Bodycon Dress from Topshop (sale, summer)

Check Bobble Beanie Hat from Miss Selfridge (sale a week or two ago)

I saved the best jumper till last!

This one was a present from my sister last Christmas

I challenged her to find me the tackiest, cheesiest xmas jumper

and she succeeded!

It's vintage and features a fully embellished applique Christmas house scene

complete with furry dog and teddy bear!

I used my Black Yasmin Rising Orb Tote by Vivienne Westwood

I thought the colours went really well.

This is one of my favourite bags, It was from My Wardrobe a couple of years ago, 

and I'm dying to get my mitts on it in red.

Finally it was super cold so I finished with my trusty pale gold shimmer Uggs 

that were from ASOS many moons ago.

And thats it,

Hope you've enjoyed this series and hopefully I'll continue blogging more in 2014!

Have a fabulous new year, and speak to you soon!

The Christmas Jumper Challenge Day 10: Little Drummer Girl

 It's nearly Christmas, I'm well excited!!!

Here is day 10 of my Christmas jumper challenge

I started with some basic primark leggings 

and a jersey denim skater skirt from new look  that was £5 in the sale a few months ago

 

The jumper I chose to wear was this cute Topshop sweater.

Its got a quirky drum motif on the front which I love, I got it in the sale about a year ago.

Its a bit more fitted and thinner than most jumpers I've been wearing 

which made a nice change :)

I added my Tatty Devine Red Spot Collar necklace that I got in a swap last year.

 

 

The bag I used was this lovely vintage Coach brown leather bag.

It's great for the weekends but too small for work!

Finally I wore these lace up leather boots from Jones Bootmaker

I got them when I worked there last year

They are so comfy, and have that vintage feel

only two more jumpers to go!!

xXx

The Christmas Jumper Challenge Day 9: Punky Christmas

Here is another of my Christmas ensembles!

I wore some tartan/plaid treggings by Topshop that I got last year in the sale

very comfy and easy to wear, but do give and feel loose by the end of the day!

I like the punk feel they have, which inspired the rest of my choices for the outfit.

This jumper was once again from my local vintage shop http://secondhandroseworcester.co.uk/

They also have an etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/SecondHandRoseWorc

I love the 80's feel, with all the embroidery and embellishments

it also has shoulder pads!

Bag wise I went with my multi glitter candy bag by Furla,

that I got in the January sales online last year.

One of my favourite bags that I own.

It feels very festive with all the sparkle.

Finally I finished it off with these 'Alpine' boots by Acne

I got the from Shoeaholics last year, for around £100 which was a bargain

considering their original full price of £570

They are a dream to wear, shearling lined, 

amazing quality and they didn't even need breaking in! 

Great for that stompy punk military look.

The Christmas Jumper Challenge Day 8: Pixel Pullover

Hi all,

This is the outfit that I wore on Thursday

I wore M&S Corduroy leggings in Navy,

With a Black Topshop Bodycon Vest Dress

and a geometric/aztec print snood from the mens section at River Island

and of course this Statement Christmas jumper from River Island,

I got it in the sale last week for £20

I love the geometric 'pixel' style pattern.

I got a Medium, its more than big enough, quite oversized. 

I picked out the bright colours of the jumper

with this Green leather biker jacket bag by Angel Jackson

I got it for my birthday a couple of years ago

It was a bit of an investment, but such good quality and well worth it.

It was rainy and cold so I wore my Brown Hiking/Walking boots by Manas

italian leather, yet very practical and comfy!

only 4 xmas jumpers left!

A long black H&M T-shirt

Gok Wan for Specsavers Glasses

and..............

Squeeel, isn't this fab! 

It's from the mens range at British Christmas Jumpers

I'm a 14 and bought it in a mens M and it fits just perfect

Such a cute novelty news paper print.

I saw it and just couldn't resist, and it's very comfy too.

British Christmas Jumpers have kindly given me a code

I used a sharkskin shade stick by mac on my eyes

and a Revlon just bitten lip stain in flame on my lips

I paired it with my Jigsaw Leather Studded Star Cluster Tote Bag

from 2010/11 I think,

just such a lovely easy to wear bag

and finally on my feet I wore my Clarks Majorca Sun faux fur lined leather biker boots

I've just had these re-heeled to hopefully last a couple more winters.

The Christmas Jumper Challenge Day 4: I want it all, I want it now!

 On to day 4,

I wanted to change up the colours a bit as Christmas jumpers always seem to be red or green!

 I wore a black midi dress from New Look

Black Primark leggings

 

How awesome is this jumper?

It was in the sale a week or two ago from Miss Selfridge.

I love the bright pink colour, and the slogan 'Dear Santa I Want It All'

It's actually written across the front in tiny beads glued on.

I paired it with my Barbie for Pauls Boutique bag

as the colours went so perfectly.

I got this a couple of years ago from Selfridges

Finally I wore my black Office suede faux fur pixie boots

Which are very comfy and warm!

Have you been wearing your Christmas jumpers yet?

Review: Shopperholic bag, Pilgrim Earrings

I was recently sent a couple of lovely little bits to review!

So here they are:

Firstly I was sent this reusable 'Shopperholic' folding shopping bag by Mustard

It's super functional and well thought out

and it has this tongue in cheek designer bag print on it which is fab!

 I have to be honest and say they pink really isn't me, but one of my friends will love it I'm sure!

It also comes in a lovely beige colour that is right up my street.

at £4.98 this is a great little extra for a friends birthday :)

Also it's worth checking out their website www.justmustard.com

I've had a good mooch and there are some great quirky items for gifts

 I was also sent these gorgeous heart shaped earring by Pilgrim Jewellery

Aren't they pretty!

  Very have a few different pieces of pilgrim jewellery,

I like these earrings and the matching necklace, as they are rose gold plated 

which is my absolute all time favorite finish!

They feel really good quality,

and can be worn for all sorts of occasions.

A super gift for a birthday (or valentines, guys!!)

I think these are currently sold out,

but they have a couple of similar heart necklaces that are a very reasonable price :)

Once again, thanks to the companies involved for sending me these items to review.

My opinions are all my own!

What Milly Wore: Bird Print Bag from Bank Fashion

How gorgeous is this bag??

I know right, such a cute floral/bird print!

I was lucky enough to be asked by Bank fashion to review an item from their website.

after having a good mooch I came across this lovely bag by Paul's Boutique

and knew this is what I had to pick!

Paul's Boutique Molly Bag in Bird Print

Now if your a regular on my blog, you might know that I'm already a Paul's Boutique fan

I own a few of their bags, but to me this one is just a little bit special!

I love the whimsical twee print,

it feels a bit more sophisticated than some of their bags, but still fun.

Here is what I wore with my bag:

Black tunic dress with gold stud detail: Topshop (quite old)

Blue Jeggings: George at Asda (super comfy and cheap too!)

Burgundy Leather Boots: Office (£90ish a few years ago)

Butterfly Print Kimono Jacket: Matthew Williamson @ Debenhams (£15 Sale)

Isn't this jacket cute, it's great for this in between weather,

and the butterfly print is really bright and eye-catching.

I got 4 compliments on my bag today (the first time of using it!)

which goes to show how fab it is!

I will definitely get my use out of it,

its a great size to fit a lot in without being huge.

It was delivered very quickly,

and I just think it's really unique and quirky!

Thanks to Bank fashion for asking me to review it :)

Have you shopped at Bank before?

Are you a Paul's Boutique fan?

What Milly Wore: Fancy Florals

Hello one and all :)

I've managed to make a small photography set up in my room

So I can take outfit pictures before work!

Yes these photos were taken at 6:30am

This is probably the most organised I have been ever!

With my new job and all, I've been dressing a bit smarter

and I love it!

Earlier this week I wore this outfit which consists of:

Floral / Daffodil white yellow and green dress: Tu (sainsburys)

In the sale, plus and extra 25% off everything

so it ended up being under a tenner!

I bought LOADS of clothes from Asda and Sainsburys

so expect to see more on the blog!

Khaki Catwalk Suede Tote Bag: Jaeger London RRP £499

I love this bag so so so much.

It feels really expensive and is a great size.

and it was the biggest bargain ever!

It was reduced to £60 on BrandAlley ( my fave designer outlet)

and I had a £50 voucher (from a tesco points exchange thing)

So all I paid was £15.95 including postage!!!

It came with the original Jaeger price label on it as well,

my mum nearly had a heart attack!

Here's a slightly better picture of the bag -

Mickey Mouse Padlock Necklace: Disney Couture

Plain Black Cardi: New Look

Plain Black leggings: Primarni

Black long top: H&M 

(worn underneath, so I could wear the tu dress rolled up as a top)

Lightwieght Green Parks: ASOS (flash sale £15 ish)

Leopard / Dalmation Pony Skin Boots: Kimchi Blue via Urban Outfitters

Still my favourite booties,

I get nice comments every time I wear them

and they're really really comfy.

I didn't manage to take any more work outfit pictures this week

but I'll deffo be doing one or two next week!

What do you guys wear to work?

Do you get to wear what you like within reason?

Leave any comments below,

I love reading them :)
