Walking in a Winter Wonderland


Yes, on Sunday I actually had a day off.... from work, uni, and anything else that happens in what feels like my 24-7 non-stop life.
After a few hours of studying in the morning me and my boyfriend went for a stroll around my local woods. All wrapped up in my winter apparel (cable knit jumper and trusty 200 denier tights), I strolled around the woods taking some lovely photo's of the wintery surroundings. I just love this time of year the world looks so raw and stripped back, natural. 
I rather awkwardly posed (avoiding dog walkers) for a few outfit photographs, something I have wanted to do for sometime and just haven't had the chance. A little embarrassed at first but I enjoyed it and I am pleased with the outcome. 
What would one do without a willing boyfriend (thank you Mark) and a handy camera.
I look forward to sharing more of my styling with you. 
Enjoy
Love Faye

Trend Notes:The Sweater

 
Image Source: style.com 
Kenzo, A/W13
Givenchy, A/W13 

Winter is well and truly here and its freezing.........
I've been layering up, even with coats and adding extra warmth with scarfs, gloves and my favourite hats (I own many variety's).
The A/W13 fashions show seem like many moons ago but with a flick through my fave fashion website, style.com I'm reunited with enough fashion and trends advice any girl could dream of.
After dreaming my way through a variety of shows and finding some great pieces to talk about I spotted a great trend.....The Sweater.
The Kenzo sweater has been on my radar for a while now even showing my boyfriend how much I love it ,hint hint #christmasiscoming. Many of the fashion glitterati have styled the Kenzo sweater well....a bright sweater and a bright mini skirt is all one needs to catch someones attention.
As for the Givenchy number, who doesn't love a gorgeous sweater with our cutest Disney Character splashed across the front, Bambi.
 More of the fashion pack on the street....

The sweater has gained a cult-like status for the winter ahead! Camel has finally ousted black from being the fashion packs colour of choice! 
A candy pink fluffy skirt teamed with a navy blue knit, if we had an outfit this cute we’d also be talking about it.
A flippy skirt is always a safe choice to combine with your statement sweat.

The Flat


Long gone is the high heel.....Yes, fashion and comfort have united and brought us this seasons must have, The Flat.
They come in all shapes, colours, prints and fabrics. A favourite of mine patent and leopard print.
Thank you River Island for designing these beautiful shoes. Flat, check, black, check, patent, check and only £28 they're within my student budget. 
Team your flats with a knee length skirt and ankle socks or keep out the cold with tights (I love 200 deniers )
Look out for these in my next OOTD (Outfit of the Day) post. I've finally got a day off this coming Sunday and plan on taking some great outfit snaps.

Happy 1st Birthday Blog!

 

I really can't believe my little blog is celebrating it's first birthday!!! That has definitely been the fastest year of my life, and I have loved every minute of it. Writing this blog has been so much fun, I've combined my two passions of fashion and writing and created something I'm really proud of.  
Here's to many more years of blogging! 
Thank you Faye x

The Stament Ring vs The delicate Ring

Rings, Claire's Accessories

Recently I've started to stir more towards jewellery (still rocking the 5 gem earing) especially rings.
I don't have the most graceful hands but with a coat of pale nail colour and a beautiful collection of rings on my fingers they seem to look somewhat ( a little) better.
So today I've been mixing a statement piece with somewhat more delicate pieces. This little pinky ring is just gorgeous and so cute. I also love how these three different sized rings in different places work so well together. With my paler skin I prefer to stick to the same colour of silver but why not have fun and mix metals. They really have set today's outfit off, boots, ripped jeans, cosy jumper and over-sized parker, winter is well and truly here and I'm loving it.
Here's a few more jewellery gems I found online.
