Heeeey there! I know, I know, I am SO sorry about not being able to post as much as I would have loved to but now I am here lets do something Christmassy! <3 A lot of people seemed to like my Autumn Fashion Staples post which I did back in September so I'm doing a Christmas one. Hope you enjoy - lets get to it...
Obviously I had to put in Christmas jumpers so what better way to start? I love Christmas jumpers, but I'm not a massive fan of the extreme, over-board ones, I prefer the ones that are more cute and go with all my clothes so I can wear them more often around Christmas time. Starting from the nearest to the camera, I think the turquoise polar bear one is really cute and fun but not overly in-your-face, but it does have a little pompom.
I'm not sure if this is cheating, but I am counting the one in the middle as a Christmas jumper, however I do realise that it isn't technically one, I just think that because it is really fluffy and furry (which you can't really tell from this photo) it kind of gives that Christmas feel. The last one which you can't see that clearly is the one I bought recently in a shopping haul I did a blog post on and I think this is my favourite one now! It is plain black so goes with a lot of things but on the front there's a big sequinned reindeer and I honestly LOVE IT!
Fluffy socks are a must-have in the winter even if the weather isn't really that wintery at all at the moment where I live. I love them - they are comfy, keep your little footsies warm and are just amazing in general. You can wear them out, you can wear them in, you can wear them in the day, in the night. They come in bright colours, patterns... OK, you get the point, I like them!
Nearly every girl, I'm sure, loves wearing PJs. I am one of those girls. I would wear them all day if I didn't have a problem with not being able to wake up properly without changing into 'proper' clothes. I tried to find the most Christmassy pyjamas I own for this photo but I didn't get to show you one of my favourite pyjamas that I wear in the winter - my long checked shirt nightie that is so comfy, honestly! Anyway, I think that both the owl fleece onesie and the shorts and long-sleeve top combo were bought in Matalan and the slipper boots are from Tesco.
These are all my favourite winter/Christmas/party accessories. Starting from the top going clockwise, I recently wore my burgundy knitted headband with a cute bow on the front on a Geography trip and believe me, it did keep my head warm as well as make me look good, even if we were walking in and out of a very muddy river! Then there's my really cute red and silver striped alice-band that has a bit of ribbon deco on the top, the little white bow bobby pins that can stick into a big ballerina bun, the two very fun, tinselly hair bands that I think would look so cute in two side plaits or bunches. Then there's the two black bows and the big silver long clip that would look good holding back your hair and finally my Santa hat clip that looks really fun and Christmassy in your hair.
I forgot to add my little jewelled Santa hat stud earrings into the photo because I've been wearing them but they are so pretty and I got them recently from Claire's. A lot of these accessories are from Claires or Primark so if you want the same sort of accessories (some of these exact ones might not be in the shops as I got them a while ago) then go to those shops.
Anything and everything glittery! I think that when I'm doing my makeup, this time of the year is my favourite because I can really let go with experimenting with glitter and adding a touch of sparkle to my makeup looks. Starting clockwise from the top I have, The Sparkler in Golden Glimmer from The Body Shop, Little Mix Love All About The Eyes eye shadow palette by Collection, Makeup Revolution nail varnish in a smooth platinum colour Cupcake Nails nail varnish in a glittery blue, Avon Colour Trend Nail Top Coat in Silver Plated, the Shimmy Shimmy body tint massage bar from Lush, Makeup Revolution London sparkly white lip gloss, smooth gold Technic lip gloss, and finally the Eye Glitter palette from Claire's.
My last winter/Christmas staple is red detail. I love it and really, it's an all year round fashion staple but I'm thinking that it's quite Christmassy as red is a colour more associated with Christmas. Obviously a red lip is an amazing touch to an outfit but you could do it in different ways and I also think that red painted nails are really pretty as well. So from the left to the right I have, the Strawberry Born Lippy lip balm from The Body Shop which is just really nice for everyday and is so subtle it doesn't really change your lip colour that much, Avon Colour Trend Colour Smoothies "lip balm" (believe me, even though it says its a lip balm, its a lipstick!) in Ruby Rush, Studio London red lip gloss that I got in The Lip gloss Series set as a present recently, and Makeup Revolution in a very classic red colour.
That was all for this blog post, I really hope you liked it and if you have any good ideas for more beauty/fashion posts like this then feel free to comment them down below.
