Just.want: Winter Wishlist

As today it reached sub-zero temperatures, I decided to stay cosy and warm inside and compile a little winter wish list. Comprising of lots of woolly knits, icy coloured bling and a fantastic pair of boots to stomp about outside.

Whats on everyone's winter wish list???

Just.want:
Sequin Skull Jumper - Urban Outfitters / Chunky Lilac Knit - Designers Remix / Cable Knit Bobble Hat - Topshop / Oversized Fur Collar Coat - Sparkle & Fade / Western Boots - Topshop / Silver Sabian Matinee Necklace - All Saints / Black Snakeskin Jeans - Zara / Crown Chakra Bracelet - Daisy

Just.worn: Neon Necklace

Came across this LBD in H&M yesterday, and although I'm not normally one for dresses, layering it over trousers seems to take the girly edge off (although I could be tempted to wear it by itself with lots of studs and skulls). Worn here with my latest DIY necklace, with some serious neon green tassels attached to some chunky chains, its the perfect statement piece to offset an otherwise entirely black outfit!

Just.worn:

Sheer Black Dress - H&M / Leather Trousers - Topshop / Chelsea Boots - River Island / Keyring Bracelet - Maison Martin Margiela x H&M

Just.worn: Margiela for H&M

So today my order arrived from H&M contain lots of little white boxes full of goodies. Couldn't resist trying it all on at once with thought that more is more! I could wear the leather leggings with everything, but love the idea of teaming them with a big cosy knit for the winter. I definitely have my favourite pieces... namely the jewellery, love the keyring bracelet/necklace, but if I had to pick just one, it would have to be the boots (however uncomfortable they may be)!

Just.worn:

White Circle Shirt / Leather Leggings / Inside Out Leather Jacket / Black Clear Heel Boots / Navy Oversize Cashmere Jumper / Watch Necklace /  Keyring Necklace & Bracelet - All Margiela for H&M

Can't wait to unpack everything all the goodies hidden inside these white boxes (which will surely involve a mini fashion shoot)!

Just.watched: L'Invitation au Voyage

I adore the new campaign advert by Louis Vuitton, the cinematography is stunning and the music, although a little unexpected brings the mystery to life. 

Follow this beautiful woman as she slinks her way through the mysteries and intrigues of the Louvre, pausing only for a moment as she encounters the Mona Lisa. So as not be caught the handsome stranger also after the secrets hidden within the Louis Vuitton trunk, only unlocked by her key, she escapes with the precious envelope in a hot air balloon drifting across the Parisian sky in pursuit of her destiny.

However has anyone else noticed that although they have used model of the moment, Arizona Muse,  she looks like and is styled very similarly to Keira Knightly in the Coco Mademoiselle Chanel advert?

Just.found: A Matter Of Life And Denim

Finding the right pair of dreams can sometimes feel like a matter of life and death. Seeing as I live in jeans, 'a matter of life and denim' would be a more appropriate title for the epic hunt for the holy grail of jeans. When you find 'the ones' you forget the countless pairs you try to squeeze into, the number of fitting rooms with the most unflattering mirrors and lighting.
I took a gamble, fed up of the above hunting conditions, I boldly ordered several pairs off the internet (Asos sale I love you). Admittedly only one pair fit perfectly, but that was all I wanted and got to avoid all the stress of endless shopping.

Will be posting an outfit featuring my new Dr Denim jeans very soon!

Just.been: Amsterdam (Part 2)

Bridge #2 of the 7 perfectly aligned bridges.

The land of tulips... and in the winter, tulip bulbs.

Can't not ride around Amsterdam on a bike when you visit!

Perfect way to choose my next destination to explore, spin the globe of fortune!

 Reminds me so much of the film elf (getting a little excited about christmas already).

Just.been: Amsterdam
