Sun, Moon and Stars - outfit post.

This is an outfit I wore to a small party we had a my mums house last weekend.

I saw this dress and it's just perfect! The jewelry is something I wear always but thought i'd show it off anyway as it fits well :)

Winter Luxe.

When I think Winter I think massive cosy blankets, snuggly PJ's and keeping warm by the fire. The Winter Luxe Edit by John Lewis features some gorgeous Alice Temperley items for a very cosy but gorgeous Winter time.

I've knocked together my own version of their Winter Luxe edit:

John Lewis Sherpa Dressing Gown
How snuggly does this look? I bet the fluff inside is so soft.

Derhy Knit Poncho
Love me a poncho - indoors and out!

John Lewis Pocahontas Slipper 
I don't think I would EVER take these off!

Warehouse Wide Scarf
This is HUGE  if you look on the model picture she's drowning in it - which is perfect in my opinion :p

DKNY Made for Plaid Pyjamas
On trend for bed time.

Kaliko Mohair Coat
What's Winter without a cosy coat? There are loads more stunning Kaiko coats and dresses on the John Lewis site.

What is 'Winter Luxe' to you?

Winter Boots - I Just Can't Get Enough.

Once I find a pair of boots for  the Winter - I'm done!

I'm still in my navy, borg boots from last year and I really fancy a change. Since it's November already I've been planning on what to ask for Christmas and boots are on the top of the list - so here are the boots that have made my short-list... so far!

MURRY Hiker Cuff Boot - Topshop.
These are my ultimate favourite, I don't just want these I need these! I've been looking for some passable hiking boots that actually look good too. 

Elastic Lace-Up Boot - Topshop
These are so cute but they look like they have no grip and I would slide so much!

Desert Hugs - Clarks
I've included these before, I love Clarks desert boots and these are the ultimate in keeping your feet warm.

Chunk Sole Burgundy Desert Boots - Dune.
This colour is gorgeous and I love the slightly thicker sole for a desert boot.

Leather & Wool Tartan Boots - F-Troupe
The sweetest and of course most expensive! Super 'on-trend' with the tartan and adorable too.

I'm pretty sure it's a toss up between the Clarks and the Hiking Boots as a winner for me, what do you think?

P.S -
As its getting colder QCumber Clothing have set up 'Every jumper bought - a jumper is donated to the homeless' basically you buy an awesome QCumber Jumper and they will personally be going out on the 16th and 17th giving their jumpers to the homeless to keep them a bit warmer during these freezing days/nights.

This is only on until the 10th so be quick and do a good deed today! 

Should Have Gone To Specsavers...Cardiff!

Hello!

I'm back in Cardiff now from a lush weekend in Devon, the rain has been crazy here but it seems to have settled today and now it's just freezing cold! 

A couple of weeks ago Specsavers in Cardiff moved (next door) to double in size and had a £1million refurbishment. I used to be so scared getting my eyes tested because of the episode on Friends when Rachel gets the puff of air in her eye and that just used to freak me out BUT luckily now that doesn't seem to happen - phew! 

I went to the launch for a look around the new store, some free wine, canapés, an eye-test and more free wine. The shop part is downstairs and the testing center is all upstairs, there were 11 testing rooms and a whole new contact lens-making section. The pre-test consisted of measuring the eye electronically and then a photo is taken of the inside of the eye. The eye test itself is the usual however no more wearing those silly goggles, It's all automatic now.

I already need to wear glasses for reading, computer work and TV but it had been about 3 years since my last test so I was getting prepared to need new glasses and I was right! Still for the same reasons just a little bit stronger than my old prescription. Luckily for me I was given a voucher to spend on the night and after spending ages trying on different frames here are the ones I chose:

Osiris Tortoiseshell Glasses - c/o Specsavers.
I love the 50's big cat-eye style frame with the cute gold rim along the top.

Also I got to see the picture of the inside of my eye - it looks like an Alien baby scan!

I wish the new store every success it really has come along way and looks amazing :)

Hope you had a great weekend!!

The Big Day - outfit post.

A little different outfit post for you today - this is the dress I wore to my Mothers wedding last weekend.

It took me so long to choose a dress, we're not really a traditional kinda family, the wedding reception was in a local pub and we ate chicken kebabs for the meal (as well as other food!) so I didn't want your usual kinda fancy looking dress. I actually bought 3 from ASOS and tried them all but this one was the clear winner! 

The pub (you can see the outdoor seating) was right on this beautiful river.

Casio Watch - TheWatchHut
I usually wear my gold Casio but as I was wearing silver rings this went so well! I love it!

The 'Button Hole' Flowers I had to wear.

My nails for the wedding.

It was a lovely day in such a beautiful location!
Congratulations to my Mum and Simon and I'm actually back down in Devon again this weekend to visit my Australian cousin who came down as a suprise for the wedding!

Take care <3 p="">x
