The Christmas Jumper Challenge Day 7: Streets of London

Day 7 and I was loving the purple! 

I was feeling a little more casual, and it was raining.

So I put my hair up and wore minimal make-up

I started with simple skinny jeggings from matalan.

Then added this, my final jumper from British Christmas Jumpers!

This is the Christmas in London Edition 2 jumper

Once again I got a L, which fits  me great.

It was £30 in the sale

Honestly all their designs are gorgeous I highly recommend them.

You can get yours here 

Don't forget to use the code 20%MH at the checkout for 20% off!

I added these purple boots by Red or Dead

I think they were from schuh  a few years ago.

Very comfy, and good quality leather too.

Finally this pleather bag from Topshop a few years ago

in a gorgeous metallic aubergine/pewter colour.

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?

What Milly Wore: Birthday Cape

Hello readers,

I'm trying to get into the swing of posting more regularly again, 

so I thought I would start with a What Milly Wore post!

Today was my Birthday! Hazzzaaahhh I'm now 23 which feels very old!

I'll do a post on the lovely gifts I've been given next week!

Excuse the not so good quality photos, they were taken in the dark :)

I Wore:

Cream Lacey Frilly Dress: Pussycat London Via HOF a couple of years ago £6 ish

I've worn this dress on the blog before last year here, I love the girly feel of it

I also own the same dress in black but don't seem to wear it half as much!

Brown Red Green Aztec Print Blanket Cape: Topshop last winter

I own this in grey too (I'm sensing a theme here!)

I've never worn either of them out of the house before tbh

but with a belt it seems to make them look much more coat like!

Tan Plaited Leather Belt: Next Sale in the summer

Brown Studded Metallic Leather Fringe Pouch Bag: River Island sale last winter

Once again, never been used before

but I'm making an effort to use what I already own!

With this tasselled bag and the cape I started to feel a bit robin hood esque.

Speckled Knitted Brown Patterned Boot Socks: Pringle via TKmaxx £5.99

These socks are amazeballs,

not only are they kinda fairisle patterned 

but they are also multicoloured speckled/ flecked in the wool!

Brown Shearling Biker Boots (rolled down): River Island Last Year £74.99

I own these in brown and black and wear both pairs all the time

stylish practical and comfy!

Fashion Fix: Tesco Clothing

 Hi guys,

I'm sure you've all noticed the change in weather recently

and for me this has prompted much drooling over autumn winter clothes

This year I'm on a strict budget (well I shouldn't be spending anything really)

So I've been looking for some bargains,

and I've found loads that I would love to buy

(O.K so I HAVE bought some of them)

Clothing at Tesco (Florence and Fred)

Seriously some of their stuff is really good

I've really been surprised at how great everything is!

(and before anyone ask this is NOT a sponsored post!)

 

F&F Navajo open Front Cardigan £18

I love these two cardigans,

a great Navajo print, at a really good price

they could easily pass for ASOS!

F&F Navajo open Front Cardigan £18 

 F&F Navajo Skirt £14

Similarly these two knitted Navajo skirts are gorgeous

they'd look great teamed with black legggings

brown boots and a snuggley cape

 F&F Navajo Skirt £14

 F&F Navajo Jumper £16

Wow they're really on the Navajo bandwagon aren't they!

Well all the better for us!

I like the really bold pattern on these two jumpers :)

 

F&F Navajo Jumper £16

 

F&F Sleeveless Cardigan £14

I bought this great fringed knitted waistcoat

last week, and it's amazing!

You'd never guess it was from Tesco, it feels good quality

and best of all it looks really good on!

 

 Amy of Paris Cowl Neck Poncho £20 (reduced from £40)

At £40 this poncho was overpriced

but at 50% off it's a much better deal!

The fairisle print is great

and I bet it's really warm

 

F&F Limited Edition Graphic Dress £12 (reduced from £18)

This is another item I actually bought!

I love a graphic print and this is no exception

it's really flattering on and is really comfy.

 

F&F Limited Edition Knitted Dress £13.50 (reduced from £20)

This knitted holey dress is really designer looking

it reminds me of Mark Fast's knitted and crocheted designs

and at £13.50 it's a steal!

 

Rock & Revival Elusive Skull Print Leggings £9.00 (reduced from £18)

I'm partial to anything with skulls on (in case you haven't noticed)

and these leggings are no exception

Skull print leggings..... what could be better?

 F&F Biker Boot £15

These waxy leather look biker boots come in black and brown

I bought them in black and they are so so comfy

they also look a lot more expensive than they were!

Great for walking or mucking about in as it doesn't matter if they get trashed!

F&F A Line Animal Print Dress £8 (reduced from £16)

This leopard print dress is very 60's looking

I bought this, and can see myself wearing it alot this autumn

 

F&F Midi Pencil Skirt £6 (reduced from £12)

I bought this too, eep save me from myself

but seriously I've wanted a leopard print pencil skirt for ages

it's very pin-up style, can be dressed up or down

and at £6 it'd be rude to say no!

F&F Limited Edition Star print Chiffon Shirt £20

Brand new in are these two star print items

Very Chanel S/S 08 and Dolce & Gabanna A/W 11

I resisted as they are full price

but I'll keep an eye out for them when the sales start!

F&F Limited Edition Star Print Chiffon Tea Dress £25

Wow that ended up a long post

and it took me a good few hours to do so I hope you guys like it :)

Lastly for £10 off your tesco Clothing order of £40 or more

use the Code AW-LFW when you check out (valid until 2nd October)

Plus Free Delivery when you spend £50 (after any discounts)

What trends will you be wearing this A/W

have any shops suprised you with what they have in store?

xXx

Fashion Fix: Awesome Aztec & Nice Navajo

 I was a huge fan of the Aztec & Navajo prints

that were around last A/W, 

but I love the ones this year even more

Here is my guide to the best items I've found:

Aztec Pattern Coat £100 ASOS

Not cheap, but I love the style of it, and it would be lovely and warm

maybe wait for a money off code?

Pendleton Meets Opening Ceremony Military Cardigan Coat 

£236 reduced from £592 ASOS

OK so this is a serious investment piece

But if you can afford it go for it, it will last you a lifetime

Aztec Borg Hooded Parker £75 Topshop

This is very similar to a leopard print one I bought from topshop last year,

the fleecey lining in the hood is to die for!

I like that the pattern in a little more subdued on this one.

Blue Print Faux Fur Aztec Coat £85 River Island

This coat is a bit more unique than the others which I really like,

The colour combination and the fur around the hood make it a bit different

Navajo Blanket Duffle Coat £125 Urban Outfitters

This is probably my favourite out of the bunch,

The prefect combination of navajo, duffle, parka and blanket!

Red & Grey Aztec Print Cape £40 River Island

I bought two aztec capes from Topshop last year

and they are amazing, It's like walking round in a blanket,

very comfy, fashion forward and flattering

especially with a belt!

Woven Aztec Satchel £45 Urban Outfitters

This is a great way to add colour to a plain outfit

I just wish the handles were real leather

Backpack with Aztec Print £35 ASOS

I actually found this in the men's section!

don't be afraid stray from women's items when looking for accessories

nobody would ever know!

Printed Leggings £20 Topshop

As you may know I'm not adverse to some funky leggings in my life

And these printed ones from Topshop are great to wear with a baggy t-shirt

and some high-tops, channelling the 80's vibe :)

Grey Aztec Print Leggings £22 River Island

If you fancy something a bit more subtle

this pair in neutral tones are great!

Black Aztec Print Tapered Leg Trousers £22 River Island

I love these,

they could be really smartened up for a night out with a black vest top,

a pair of heels and a clutch bag!

BDG Printed Rib Knit Leggings £24 Urban Outfitters

These look fab,

great as pyjama bottoms or just lounging round the house

these long john style leggings look so comfy

Thats everything folks,

Please let me know what you think of this kind of post,

as I'm forever finding great items to buy, and cant afford

so I might as well share them with you guys right? :)
