Just a day for taking photo's and Ugly Sweaters

So I am getting geared up to start my 365 day project next year - where you take a photo everyday. I love film though - so it may be abit harder, but it's a good motivation to get out and about and take some snaps. I have just bought this knitted jumper, which I practically live in now...it's so nice and warm. Also I bought a pair of jeggings/pull on jeans (not in this pic) but whoever invented those is a genious - I am in love with them!!!

Knitted Jumper - Miss Selfridges

Jeans - Levis

Shoes - MK from Amsterdam

Also I am totally in love with ugly jumpers!!! The uglier the better haha, I mean what would christmas be without novelty sweaters anyway?? So after looking on the net, I came up with some of my favourite jumpers, I also saw a great printed horse jumper in topshop the other day - which I need to get!!! Also what I didn't know is that people actually organise ugly jumper parties!!! You can see more on this ugly jumper dedicated blog - Ugly Jumpers I also came across an online shop dedicated to selling ugly jumpers - Buy Ugly Sweaters

Let it Rain

So this is going to be a busy weekend, but hopefully full of wonderful happenings. Saturday night I am going to big dinner with friends, lot's of wine and food and tipsy ramblings, it should be fun....but what to wear?? I bought a cute dress a while back that I have never worn out because I was not happy about the length, so I've pinned it up and tucked it in and an all round better fit :)

Sunday with be full of fashion frolics with the Wales Fashion Showcase, which I am really looking forward to and a full write up will follow. Ahhh how winter has suddenly come upon me...it's been creeping slowly and then wham it's here....dark mornings and nights and sudden need for thick winter coats (my favourite) but I could not help but wear this skirt and tight combo today, just made me walk with a spring in my step

So once again just a quick inspiration post for the week....been soo busy but good news as many outfit posts are going to happen in the next week and lots more dedicated blog time - yey :) Also going to the Wales Fashion Showcase on Sunday so that should be fun fun fun. I am also in the process of a major clean out of the wardrobe, doing a total clean out, which is more tiring that one thinks. Anyway I am currently in love with the preppy mod look and I NEED this little tutu style skirt by Paule Ka, it's a dream.
