The most festive place on Earth

A few days before christmas I visited Whitehall garden centre with my family - I can confirm it definitely made me feel festive. There were lights everywhere, rooms filled with christmas tree decorations and christmas displays. It was like being in a winter wonderland. 

There was a huge Santa with his hand held out - so I made my cousin sit on it for a photo. 

There was displays everywhere.

In each section there was a theme - this one was Alice in wonderland which I loved.

Pinocchio.

Woodland theme. 

White theme - my favourite as I love simple but pretty decorations.

The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.

This room was just full of candles that smelt amazing.

Vintage/original track jackets

I have a slightly unhealthy obsession with vintage jackets as I just love them and I think they pair so nicely with any outfit. I thought I would share my favourites.

 I got this track jacket in the sale from Urban Outfitters at £15

 I got this vintage adidas jacket from ReSo a shop in Southampton run by Southampton Solent students for £20.

 I got this jacket from Urban Outfitters for £45.

 This one is my favourite, it's from ASOS boutique and I got it for £35.

Cosy bedroom christmas decorations

I am definitely a christmas enthusiast when it comes to this time of year, so I like to make my room a cosy environment to watch christmas films and relax in!

 Not so christmassy but still lights haha!

I got this candle from the Bath christmas markets from 'Cornwall soapbox'. It smells amazing and the smell is strong which is so good for me as in the past I have had trouble with a candle's smell not filling the room.

 I paired some christmas ribbon with my firefly lights from Oliver Bonas which I have on the top of my bed all year round!

 Full photo of the ribbon and firefly lights.

 I hung some (fake) foliage around my mirror and looped some rose lights around it.

 I used to have a small, fake green christmas tree in my room that I used to decorate with tinsel and pink baubles but I changed the decor in my room and pink and sparkly wasn't so fitting anymore. I got this little white tree from Next and I bought the baubles separately from a gorgeous shop in Bath called Brissi. Although I love how they look, hanging them all up with cotton definitely tested my patience. 

 The tree on my bedside table and the head of my bed. 

I tied the christmas ribbon to an end in a big bow to finish off the christmassy look.

 Mirorr (and tree) shot in the dark with he fairy lights on.

 A shot as full as I could get it of my christmassy corner with all the little lights on to make it cosy. 

Another shots with the lights off.

OOTD - Winter style



A few days ago, I went to a christmas evening at Whiterow Farm shop with my family, there was various tasters, mulled wine and mince pies. Part of the evening was outside so I made sure to wrap up warm and I thought I would share my favourite (warm) winter outfit. 

Light Before Dark, Urban Outfitters Puffer jacket £76

Recently, I purchased this wonderful jacket from Urban Outfitters and although it's pricey, I think it was one of the best things I've ever bought. It is the warmest jacket I have ever owned, I love the style of it as I feel like you can wear it with anything and I love the colour because I feel like it is nice to get something that is different from the usual plain black colours. 

Trousers Urban Outfitters £46

I recently bought these trousers as I always tend to wear skirts, and jeans aren't really my thing, so I wanted an alternative and I fell in love with this style. I love how they look with vintage trainers because it makes them look more casual. I also bought a grey pair.

See through top Urban Outfitters £24

I have a bit of an obsession with see through tops, and I saw this one and loved it! I usually go for black clothing so this colour was a nice change and it's quite neutral so you can wear it with anything. 

Reebok Classics £58

The price with these ones are a bit hit and miss because you can find them for lots of different prices everywhere,  I got them for £30 in the sale but they were originally £58. I absolutely loooooove classic collection trainers, I think they add such a nice vintage vibe to an outfit and they can be really funky. The colour I have are mint green, they came in white and pastel pink as well, but I already have a pair of pink trainers and I thought white was a bit plain. I cannot stop wearing these!
