Beautiful Knitwear

You can't beat beautiful knitwear at Christmas.
The prettiest jumper I have bought this year, is the leopard diamanté stud jumper from Karen Millen.
This angora and cashmere blend knit is perfect for wearing with jeans and boots or dressing up with black disco pants and silver high heels. 
I wore this outfit to meet with my friends to wish them a Merry Christmas.



Outfit details:

Jumper - Karen Millen
Trousers - Topshop
Shoes - Jimmy Choo
Handbag - Mulberry





Happy Holidays!

Manicure Monday - OPI Kiss me at midnight

The OPI holiday collection for 2013 is now available.

The collection contains 18 shades but so far I have only tried one - the liquid sand "Kiss me at Midnight" a beautiful blue liquid sand. "It's time to fall in love with this frosted ice blue"



Now for the pictures of this beautiful blue polish:




Even from a distance this colour really pops.


Here's a quick little comparison:

For those of you who have other blue liquid sand polishes and want to know "is it worth owning them all?"

I would say yes - you can never have enough polish!

L-R Kiss me at midnight, Get your number, Tiffany Case.


From top to bottom:
Kiss me at midnight
Tiffany Case
Get your number
Kiss me at midnight


All very different. But if I had to choose one it would be "Kiss me at midnight" if you want it, get it now as it is limited edition.

Teal jumper and sparkle boucle mini skirt

Last weekend I went into Leeds on Saturday for cocktails and dinner (yes that's right - no shopping!)


Outfit details:
Top - Oasis (very new, just bought it - but I can't see it on the website!)
Skirt - Oasis (buy it here)
Bag - Mulberry 
Shoes - Christian Louboutin


 I accessorised my new teal jumper with gold and red




The skirt is super cute. I will probably live in this for the whole winter.


It was the first outing for my new dark red Louboutins


As for the cocktails, there were a few but highlights included:
Black Forest Martini - An espresso martini with forest flavours, vodka, coffee liqueur, espresso and raspberry, with white chocolate foam sprinkled with raspberry dust.
White Cosmo - A frozen orchid in vodka, elderflower liqueur, Cointreau, citrus, white grape juice and lemon bitters.

Green and gold sequins and a checked skirt

One of the best things about autumn/winter is wearing little skirts with tights and boots.

I have recently bought this cute little checked skirt from ASOS, and it's now reduced. This is very irritating for me! (see here) 
I wanted to take it for an outing. The colour combination of green and gold matches a jumper that I got from Karen Millen a few years ago.


Outfit details:
Top - Karen Millen
Skirt - ASOS
Gloves - Oasis
Boots - Moda in Pelle




This was the perfect outfit for walking to my local pub on a crisp November day.....
And ordering lunch!

But I hate it when food is served on a chopping board, just give me a plate!
