Fashion Spotlight:
Winter Wonderland
It might not be where you are, but here in the UK, it is already cold! And especially where I am, raining a lot! But you know what, there is a whole better side to this. Break out the winter coat, break out the scarves, and better yet, break out the wellies and umbrellas. Here are some of my new favourite winter picks:
Coat
There are so many different coats available, but when it comes to winter, don't be tempered by that cropped bomber. A below the waist, to knee length is best, nothing shorter, you'll freeze. 2 styles that come around year after year are the trench and the puffer. This kitson puffer is a fab slim down version, and this CR trench is everlasting:

Kitson Puffer Jacket - $89 | Wool Trench Coat -$34.99
Scarf
This year, scarves have been given there own accessory. I saw these in a shop recently and could not work them out for the life on me. Then I read the label. Hooded Scarves, seem to be the new thing this winter, so here are two of my faves:

Hooded Scarf - £15 | Hooded Fair isle Scarf - $50
Umbrella
Umbrellas literally com in all shapes and sizes. My person favourite are the plastic bubble umbrellas, like the one below. But if you need more compact this Totes fold down one is perfect, and comes in lots o designs, so you can even accessories with it!

Totes® Manual Umbrella - $15.40 | Totes Bubble Umbrella - $16.99
Wellies
Ugg Boots may keep you feet snuggly warm, but in the rain they are less than useless. That's why a pair of wellies is perfect. And don't think of them as those boring one you use in mud. Even designer, are trying there hand at making Wellingtons. But for the better budget here are some very cute ones:

NESBIT Rain Boot - $45.00 | Women's Retro Birdie Rain Boots - $24.99

The Super, The So-So, and The Seriously Should Think Again:
The Super

I'm not usually one to big up Fregie's fashion, but at the Avon Foundation for Women Gala, she looked stunning in a Valentino dress. Fergie should definitely stick to these styles. And that feathering detail on the neckline is gorgeous!
The So-So

This is not one of the worse dresses I have seen, but the massive of material on this Narciso Rodriguez are not needed. It give the overall outfit a frumpy look. I do, however, love the nude toned shoes.
The Seriously Should Think Again

That green blouse is not doing anything for me, and teamed with a high waisted skirt, which is knee length, does nothing on a small frame. I have seen Lily wearing a lot better clothing.

Hint and Tip of the Week:
Winter is the time to sit in at night, watching your favourite movies next to a roasting fire. And when I saw GAP's latest collection of winter layering clothes, I knew y'all just has to know about them. My favourite 3 items, are this Chunky hooded sweater, these slipper booties available in
6 different colours, and this Marled sweater hoodie in Marled sweater hoodie. Check out more products here, as well as there great night out winter warmers.
