Winter clothes Combinations

Hey Internet Friends,
Here are my top 3 clothes combinations to keep you warm and stylish this winter.

Jeans and a Jumper
One of the most simple outfits that you are guaranteed to have in your wardrobe is jeans and a jumper. This can be easily created with different colours and styles of jeans as well as different jumpers. It often looks cute paired with a scarf and ankle boots.

Jumper, Skirt, Woolen Tights
This look can easily be made smart or casual with the style and fit of skirt or jumper used. The woolen tights will help you keep nice and toasty. Pair with ankle boots or knee high boots to complete the look.

Pinafore dress and a Long Sleeved Top
A black, denim pinafore dress, paired with a monochrome striped long-sleeved top is one of my favourite outfits ever. Experiment with different colours, and again, pair with knee high boots or ankle boots and woolen tights.

Hope these idea help.

Winter Buys

Hey Internet Friends,
Today I will be sharing with you some of my top buys of this winter so far. I've mainly been doing Christmas shopping and so haven't bought much for myself recently so apologies for how short this list will be.

Glamour magazine - The main reason I bought this was for the Nails Inc. nail varnish it came with and for £2 it was a bargain. I've really enjoyed flicking through it so far; who knows, this may end up a monthly purchase.

Batman Jumper - I bought this jumper from Primark for just £8 and it's so soft and comfy. I've worn it so many times already as it's so easy to throw on with a pair of jeans for a casual but fairly stylish look. I would provide you with a link to it, however I can't seem to find it on their website (it's Khaki Green if you want to try and find it in store).

Vitamin E Moisture Cream - This moisturiser has become my winter staple this year. It's so thick and creamy and is perfect for keeping your skin soft and hydrated, even in the freezing cold wind. For £18 for a 100ml tub (which will last you ages) it's most definitely worth every penny.

Sleek Semi-Matte Lipstick - I bought this lipstick in the shade Private Booth 1002 and have loved it. Because it's semi-matte, it doesn't dry out your lips and is relatively long lasting. For £5.49 it's a bargain (plus at the time of me writing this post, Superdrug has a 3 for 2 offer on makeup where you can get a free pom-pom keyring).

Goddess of Faith Highlighter - I purchased this highlighter in the shade Goddess of Love after seeing amazing reviews for it online and it has most definitely lived up to expectation. It costs just £4.99 and is also available currently in the 3 for 2 offer at Superdrug.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer - Again, another product that's currently in the Superdrug 3 for 2 offer that's absolutely amazing. This concealer gives really good coverage for the entire day and works amazingly with the Rimmel Wake me Up foundation. It cost me just £5.49.

I hope you enjoyed this post, feel free to comment things that you have bought so far this winter.
