The Christmas Jumper Challenge Day 1: Polar Bear in Space!

 Hi Guys,

Today's post marks the start of my Christmas Jumper challenge!
I will be wearing a novely xmas sweater / jumper every weekday until christmas
and blogging it for your pleasure!

 The plan is for the jumpers to get christmassier as the days go on
So today I started with this navy blue polar bear knitted jumper.


The jumper is from Urban Outfitters last year  and is by a brand called Cooperative
I think I got it in the January sale last year for around £20


I Paired my jumper with a pair of topshop skinny jeans,
and these new Galaxy / space print Vans Chukka Boots from Office.
I bought them a week or two ago and they were half price at  around £30

 Lastly I stuck with the cosmic theme my adding this very practical galaxy print bag
by Peter Pilotto for Kipling from A/W 2010

See you again tomorrow for some more novelty patterned jumper shennanegans!

Lust After: Topshop New Arrivals

Topshop are really hitting the nail on the head at the moment

Here are just a few of things I'm lusting after atm
p.s I may have already ordered some of them!

This arrived in the post today,
no idea when I'll wear it but it's gorgeous!


I now really feel like I NEED the matching trousers!
Black Lily Biker Leather Ankle Boots - CJG for Topshop £150
I really liked Chloe Green's designs last season
but they were all far far too high.
These rocking biker boots are far more me.
Sqqquuueeee
As a blogger I have a genetic predisposition to coveting anything rose gold.
I love these an ungodly amount,
I'm so tempted to just order them right now,
but I'd be so sad if they went in the sale after Christmas!
These are so versatile,
go with anything,
covered in studs, what more could you want?
And they also come in black!
gorgeous shiny leather
these look super expensive and designer
get in my wardrobe!

What Milly Wore: Purple Rain

Hi Guys,
hope you've all had a lovely week
and you're all getting used to the fact that it's nearly February and getting colder!

I was lucky enough to be contacted by Daxon
and asked if I would like to choose an item to feature on my blog.
Daxon are branching into Plus Sized clothing,
so I was interested to see what they had available.
As a size 14, I'm at that awkward size where I'm not quite plus size,
 but a bit big for some shops!
But as someone from a family of  *ahem* curvier ladies
I gladly took them up on their offer.

When looking at their website it's easy to skim over and think that it's aimed at a more mature lady,
or that they are not very fashion forward,
but I really would no be so quick to write them off.
I really feel you can take staple pieces such as this jacket and add it to any wardrobe,
you can style up in your own way, give it your own twist if you will.
As I hope I've proved with this post.

The jacket is extremely good quality,
much better than you would find on much of the high street,
I was really impressed with the suedette fabric, it feels really soft and authentic
and I love the faux leather piping too.
It's so well made and is a joy to wear :)

As Daxon go from a size 14-36 I think it's a great place to try
if you are struggling to find great quality clothing
in your size.

In this outfit I Wore:

Purple Suedette Quilted Jacket: C/O Daxon £49

Galaxy Print Grey Cardigan: Asos (a few years ago)

Multi Galaxy Wolf Dress: Motel @ Topshop (also ages ago)

Grey T-Shirt Dress (worn underneath): H&M

Black Treggings: Next £18 (new)

Galaxy / Glitter Print Duffle Bag: Peter Pilotto for Kipling

Leopard Wired Hair Band: Dolly Bow Bow


Future Mystic Small Crescent Gem Shapes Necklace: Tatty Devine


Grey Suede Felix Boots: Kurt Geiger £35 Sale

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!

That is all
thanks for reading lovelies

Lust After: Topshop Sale Wishlist


 Bonsoir ma petite chou-fleurs
I hope your having a lovely wintery weekend :)
I've seen so many things I'd love from topshop at the moment,
so heres a list of everything that I love,
that I will not buy until their sale starts, just in case it goes in!




Gorgeous black and white fair isle print cardigan with a faux fur collar.



Amazing Galaxy / Star print wondrous leggings,
Already sold out :(


I love this American flag onesie, but it's a pity they don't do it in bigger sizes
I love leopard print, topshop, Ashish and bumbags  so all of them in one is ace!

This backpack is also amazing, it's so 90's
Chelsea boots are great but you hardly every find any in navy, so these are fab
I also love them in this burgundy colour too, and the snake print is a bonus
I love my black version of these, but in nude with gold studs they look gorgeous.




This looks incredible but the reviews are not so good!?
I still think it's worth a try though.
These multicoloured glitter oxford shoes look awesome *drools*


Is there anything you're lusting after from Topshop??
