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!

It's time to 'Fall' in love with coats

Anyone who knows me, knows that my heart goes a flutter with the thought of wearing coats now the cold weather is back in full force. The seasons have well and truly changed and I am obsessing over my favourite Autumn/Winter coats on the high street. I am very picky about coats. I love tailored, classic looks that have amazing stitching, buttons or ties and a colour that will never go out of style. No, no's for me are definitely zips, different coloured stitching, velcro!?, anything that looks cheap and if it is a A/W coat there has to be a lapel. Here are a few of my favourites currently available on the high street...

Long vest with fur collar, Zara £89.99

Now I know, this may not be the most practical of coats for the cold weather as it has no sleeves but I love how chic it is and look at all that faux fur! I think this would be perfect in Autumn with a thick jumper. It adds that streamline elegance that you can only find in a tailored coat. 

Hand-made dressing gown coat, Zara £99.99

Ever since Olivia Pope graced the silver screens in Scandal I have been obsessed with dressing gown coats, I associate them with power and elegance and that is exactly what I want out of a coat. This is very thin for a coat, so a jumper would definitely be required in the colder months but perfect for now!

Double breasted lapel coat, Zara £99.99

A tailored black coat is something that I am really missing from my wardrobe, it really is a staple, classic piece that everyone should have at hand. This is also formal enough to be dressed up at evening with a tailored trouser or left open to accompany a great LBD.

Cashmere blend wrap coat, Topshop £225.00

Another great staple piece in every wardrobe is a camel coat, I have one from Zara a couple of years ago that some days in the A/W months only comes off my back to sleep. However, this has rather caught my eye and you can never go wrong if there is a bit of Cashmere involved. 

Kimono cape, River Island £55.00

I love how this coat looks on, it is perfect for Autumn with it's short sleeves that will go great with a turtleneck underneath. It is perfect if you are wanting to go for a statement necklace or bracelet as it showcases it perfectly.

Now that I have critically analysed them I just want them all! However, I am not sure that they will fit in my cupboard!
