Cashmere and gold luxury...

It's cold outside, so all I want to do is snuggle up on the couch with my macbook and online shop. However, life can't be perfect so I find some little pick me ups are Cashmere, faux fur and a little accent of gold to warm things up...



I love to add a little gold accent to the top of my cheekbone, it warms the whole look up. I also used a warm gold shimmer eyeshadow to tie in the effect.



I heard that baby hairs are the new in thing... I must be bang on trend.



This is my trusty little sidekick for that warm glow - Benefit sun beam. I put this under my eyebrows to open my eyes, at the top of my cheekbones and I dab it over a nude lip to add that extra sparkle to my look.



The extra little hint of luxury that I need to complete the look is my new faux fur stole from Zara. I love faux fur, it is just what any outfit needs to bring out that bit of sophistication you need.



Here is a little close up of the cable detail on my Cashmere Johnstons of Elgin jumper. When I got this a few years ago I swore that I would never take it off until Summer - I was pretty much correct. Here is a similar one, it is an investment buy but treat it well and you will have it for years and years to come. All brought together with my favourite leopard print pumps!

I hope you are all snuggled up in luxury today too!

Pastel vibes with a little bit of wild...

Today is a very rainy day in Edinburgh so I wanted to channel some pastel vibes to brighten up the day and of course add my little obsession at the moment which is an accent of leopard print.


I love this Johnstons of Elgin cashmere jumper, the pastel hue and cosy fit is perfect for a day like today. This and my pukka three ginger tea was just the combination I needed this morning, in my favourite Marks and Spencer 'S' mug.



A little highlight of pink goes perfectly with my pastel blue jumper, I got this Bourjois Paris Colour Boost in Proudly naked yesterday. It has a great glossy finish, glides on and feels very nourishing on my lips. I even may be able to wear it sans Burts Bees - very bold for me. With a little spritz of my favourite Victoria's Secret 'Sexy little things' I felt a lovely pink glow.






My whole make-up look today is very natural with a little highlight of pink cream blush. I curled my hair for yesterdays blog post but I then got very rained on and it lost a little bit of its magic so I pulled it up into a high ponytail.



I love a statement necklace, this is one from Zara a few seasons a go and I find that it goes so well with a lot of outfits and the position is great for a high neckline.




This is my little hint of wild. I have been trying to break these in for a very long time and I think that today is the first time that they haven't hurt - it was so worth it though!! I've teamed these with my distressed jeans to add a little edge to my pastels.



I will be working away today on lots of new fun blog ideas! If you have anything that you would like me to cover, let me know! I will be cosying up with my ginger tea and doing lots of fashion, style and beauty research and maybe obsessing over Chanel's runway (airport lounge) show.

Happy Tuesday!
