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 5: Read all about it!

 So today was day 5,

I absolutely love today's jumper! 

I wore Black corduroy treggings from Tu at sainsburys

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

its the 'Daily Starr News' Jumper

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.

In case you didn't see the other day 

British Christmas Jumpers have kindly given me a code 

that you guys can use to get a 20% discount until Christmas day.

They have all sorts of designs in multiple colours and styles.

At the checkout enter: 20%MH

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.

New Arrival: Spring Update

 I'm trying to save for a car,

but I keep buying pretty things instead!

Here are some of the thing I've bought over the last few weeks :)

Rainbow Crystal Gem 'Joey' Glass Necklace £25 Kurt Geiger (Reduced from £50)

I love this necklace, it arrived today but it had a £10 sticker on it, 

I phoned to complain and they've agreed to refund me the difference.

Happy Bunny!

Lulu Guinness for Uniqlo T-shirts £12.90 each 

These tees are great, I've always loved Lulu Guinness with her iconic lip print

but her main line is way out of my price range.

They're pretty cheap and will go with a lot, I especially love the peter pan collar.

Kurt Geiger Swim/Swimming studded black biker boots from Shoeaholics

I ordered Swimming (the ones with the extra studds on the toes) for £99 (reduced from £260)

and received Swim (the ones without the studs on the toe) which is worth £59 (reduced from £240)

Needless to say I was a bit miffed, but once again they will be refunding the difference!

I do love them though, great to toughen up a floral dress.

 Fox Knitted Jersey Jumper - The Orphans Arms £65

I bought a follow the white rabbit jumper from T.O.A before christmas

and I've lived in it, so comfy, warm and such cute designs.

So when I saw this fox print one I just had to get it!

 Celia Birtwell for Uniqlo dresses £19.90 (reduced from £29.90) trousers £14.90

I really like the prints Celia Birtwell creates.I loved her topshop collab a few years back too.

I bought the dress in 3 colours, it'll be great for summer.

The skinny jeggings are amazing and they fit so well I'm tempted to buy another pair.or two!

So that's what I've been buying,

have you been eyeing up anything in particular??

What Milly Wore: Simply Be Fur Collar Coat

 Hi guys,

I was fortunate enough to be contacted by

Simply Be

and asked to review a product of my choice.

I'd heard of Simply Be, but never tried their products before,

so I was interested to see what they had to offer.

Looking through their website there were lots of items that I liked

and coming from a family of curvy ladies I was pleased to see that their size range was so good

with most items starting at a size 14 and ending at a 32

I chose this gorgeous 'Tweed Coat With Fur Trim'

as I was looking for a new coat for autumn, and this style looked very designer to me.

I ordered a size 14 which I found fit nicely, slightly oversized which I like.

My coat was well packaged and arrived very quickly.

The first thing I noticed about the coat was the gorgeous faux fur collar

it has such a luxurious vintage vibe, and feels super soft.

I also like that the charcoal tweedy fabric has flecks of darker and lighter greys,

so it's great for going with everything but doesn't look boring

It looks lovely undone or done up, and fastens with chunky buttons

It had decent sized pockets which impressed me

as there's nothing I hate more than a faux pocket!

I also love that the collar is removable!

which I had not realised when ordering,

meaning you get two very different looks in one :)

The fur trim / collar can also be worn on its own as a stole,

I think it would look great vintage tea dress.

Fur Collar Coat: Simply Be £95 

Jersey Zip Dress: H&M

Indigo Jeggings: M&S

Grey & Black Tweedy Buckle Boots: Carvela Kurt Geiger

Mexican Skeleton Necklace: Tatty Devine (Sale £25)

Pink 'All About Me' Lipstick: Topshop

Overall I'm super chuffed with my coat

and I'll definitely be recommending Simply Be to my friends and family ;)

What Milly Wore: Aztec Swan

Hi Folks,

So I've not really made a new year resolution persay,

but I am trying to get myself organised, by sorting through my room

and my wardrobes to get rid of what I don't wear

But also I am trying to make use of pieces that I love 

but don't get use out of for some reason.

I'd like to vary my outfits more,

care less what others think of my style,

and experiment a bit!

Here is what I wore Yesterday:

Khaki Quilted Jacket: River Island (last year) £30 ish

I've had so much use out of this jacket but it is yet to be featured on the blog

as I usually wear it just with t-shirt and jeans.

It's kind of barbour esque which I love

Nude / Pale Pink Padlock Bag: M&S (last year) £39 ish

I'm not really an M&S kind of person

but I saw this bag in a magazine and just had to buy it!

and I haven't regretted it,

Its really unique spacious and well made, just wish it was leather!

Black Pearl Cardigan: New Look (sale last year) £9 ish

I never wear this cardigan,

purely because it annoys me that I cant do it up!

I do love the pearl detailings and buttons though.

Swan Digital Print Cropped Top: H&M £19.99

This is a fairly recent purchase that I've just not got round to wearing

I just think the swan is very mysterious looking, 

and I love anything with a photographic or digital print

Also seen on my Clothes Twin Hannah :)

Aztec Bodycon Midi Skirt: River Island £20 this season

I bought this skirt on Tuesday,

I'd had my eye on it for a while, and decided at £20 it was worth it!

I really like the print, that it's high waisted and the midi length

It's amazing!

Black Leggings: £4 Primark

As always, actually need to buy a few more pairs!

I love the clashing prints,

They shouldnt go together but they somehow do!

Black Leather & Tweed Fabric Buckle Boots 'Smoke': Carvela Kurt Geiger

Original Price £180 Sale Price £89 Price after discount code & voucher £49 :)

I love these boots, couldnt believe I got them for such a good price!

I featured them on my blog a couple of months ago 

but didnt think I would be able to afford them

They are really comfy and fur/fuzzy lined.

Think that's everything guys,

Do you like to clash prints?

Have you had any surprise sale bargains?

New Year: Things I Love

Why hello there,

nice to see you again!

Please excuse my lack of bloggingness,

Christmas retail, means not a lot of free time!

So I thought I'd do a little catch up kind of 'Things I Love' post for you :)

I'm loving:

Orange Hair -
Dyed my hair a lovely shade of copper/orange
and I love it, just wish it was as gorgeous and thick as this girls!

Neutral Eye-Make-Up -
Working a lot means I am really appreciating a 15 minute make-up routine,
including a neutral eye, not as nice as this one though!

Magnetic & Glitter Nail Varnish -
I got loads of magnetic nail varnish for Christmas and I'm loving experimenting with it,
also cant get enough of my Deborah Lippmann glitter polishes!

Pyjamas -
Snuggly Pyjamas ftw :) Got some gorgeous M&S ones.

Christmas Socks -
Whether it's just around the house or peeking over the top of my boots
I'm living in patterned Christmas socks right now.

Biker Boots -
I'm Milly and I'm addicted to biker boots
real leather of course and the more studs  the better

Clashing Prints -
there are so many different kinds of prints I love right now,
galaxy,  fairisle, aztec, navajo, floral, digital, graphic etc
and there is nothing I love more than wearing them all at once!

Rucksacks/Backpacks -
I got the ahmahzing Lazy Oaf Space rucksack for Christmas
and it seems to just go with everything!
I also appreciate that it doesn't fall off your shoulders all the time.

Diet Coke -
I love it, nuff said!

Clinique Chubby Sticks -
Part of my afore mentioned quick make-up look are my clinique chubby sticks,
I have 4 and they add a great pop of hydrating colour

Vintage Scarves -
Whether its tied to my bag, worn as a belt or just around my neck
I love to add a vintage scarf to my outfit, especially chain print ones.

Aztec Duffle Coat -
EEEPP I got this urban outfitters printed blanket duffle coat for Christmas
and I am never taking it off EVER

Snoods -
Chunky knitted snoods wrapped round tonnes of times
make me happy.

Skull Necklaces -
I was also lucky enough to get 2 different skull necklaces for Christmas
and I love wearing them with otherwise demure outfits ;)

Sleeping ZzZzZz -
I love to snooze, nap sleep etc
especially in the middle of the day with a cat by my side!
