(#kcwardrobe) Winter Warmers

Around this time last week I was absolutely freezing - no warm winter jacket, no hat, no scarves, no gloves!!!

<<< Black stars and stripes beanie hat

It got to the point where I couldn't take the bitter breeze anymore in the morning and the lack of hood on my Superdry windcheater so I went into River Island and got my hat (in the picture on the left). The same day I wanted to get the matching scarf but I couldn't find one. As you can see I now have the matching snood that I found two days later after work.

<<< Black stars and stripes snood

I am pleased to say the hat and snood are not itchy but rather warm and they pretty much go with everything.

(#kccrafts) Black and White Classic Floral Cushion

I'm not sure if I've blogged about this before but I do know that I have tweeted a picture of it a while back, around the end of July if I remember correctly.

I just wanted to share with you one of the things I made in my spare time a while back, although I have hardly any of it now.

The cushion in centre of the picture is what I actually customised. It was originally a plain black cushion but I wanted something a little different and personalised to go with the theme of my room.

(#kcwishlist) Love over money?

So I'm laying here and it's 11:30pm. Although I'm tired I'm still up for a late night internet shop on ASOS (my in-house version of window shopping) just before I go to sleep.

<<< A Question Of Love Over Money T-Shirt

I've just seen this top and I lovvvveee it. It's so ME! Although I am trying to step out of my comfort zone when it comes to my style I need it. Ok I guess I don't really need it but I really really want it. Should I get it?

A simple graphic to portray the choice of love over money is great. I would choose love over money any day because true love lasts forever and money certainly doesn't bring you unlimited happiness, however it may help in the short term.

Take a look at the rest of the A Question Of collection for men and women.

Have a good night x

(#kcstyle) Black Beauty

You should never be afraid to wear all black! With a hint of colour an all black outfit won't look so dark for example you can add a belt that is a more striking colour than your outfit (seen in the picture on the left.).

<<< Get the look

A black skater skirt should be a wardrobe staple for this season as it can pretty much go with any top that you already have. if you're going for the effortless look  wear a loose shirt with pockets or a sleeveless shirt with minimal detail. In the picture Pretty Polly suspender tights are worn which draw the eye to the legs and then it diverts the attention to the feet where you see Desert Boots.

In the image above you can see:

(#kcwardrobe) It's all hype!!!

<< HYPE Flower Sweatshirt

After work on Friday I bought this sweatshirt from Footasylum. Originally I hadn't planned to add this sweatshirt to my wardrobe but I had to replace the blazers I had bought two weeks previous.

Returning my blazers was heartbreaking as I've wanted a pair for agesssss but I realised number one they were slightly too small and that once again trainers aren't really going in the same direction as I am with my style right now.

Although this is a mens sweatshirt I thought the floral print was up my street as it can give a very casual dark outfit a vibrant splash of colour.

When I put an outfit together I normally think about comfort and warmth because I would be at college pretty much all day. I would wear this with either Bershka jeans, H&M leggings or River Island jeggings. Oooo yeh and on my feet I would slip on my Black Bailey Bow UGGs or my White Converses :).
