Number Sixteen - sales & excitement

Curly Faux Fur Coat // Gathered Satin Midi Dress // UNIQUE Heels // JAMMY Sling Backs // JOE Block Court Shoes // Plait Detail Head Bands // 90's Chunky Sunglasses // Sasha Sunglasses

The Topshop sale is on-going and doesn't seem to be fizzling down! With new lines added and further reductions, I've made a list of the things I'm totally loving! Not everything on this post is in the sale but most of it is!! The gorgeous coat is in the sale section but doesn't seem to have been reduced.....yet. I'm gonna keep an eye out and hopefully if it gets reduced I can grab a bargain!

I'm really into the really big oversized chunky coat look at the moment and even more so with fur involved! The satin midi dress has been reduced a number of times and is still not sold out... How?! I do not know but it must not be too popular. However every time I see it being further reduced I want it a little more! All the shoes apart from the Black JOE block heels are in the sale and really heavily reduce to a bargain price!

The four accessories I've featured I really really like, especially the headbands! They're chunky but really girly at the same time which I always find appealing. I can imagine me wearing them at a festival and that REALLY excites me for summer! I will be going to more than one of the festivals this year so have to prepare early to perfect the ''festival chic'' look that a lot of people seemingly pull off so effortlessly.

Number Fifteen - Tapestry print & high necks

I have received & bought SO many clothes over the past few weeks & around the festive period that they're literally spilling out of my wardrobe.. I've got loads of amazing outfits just waiting to be showcased and over the next few weeks hopefully everything will get a trip out & a feature on my blog!

Dress - Newlook // Top - Zara // Shoes - Topshop // Necklace - Vivienne Westwood // Watch - Michael Kors  // Bag - Topshop

The high neck top from Zara is lovely and really lightweight, making it perfect for layering! The tapestry swing dress is lovely and such a nice print material. The style of dress is 'strappy' and quite basic so in the cold months its a little too lightweight to wear alone so teaming it with an 'under layer' such as a high neck top and tights makes it a little warmer and also gives the outfit a really wintery look whilst still looking cute. I got the shoes from the Topshop sale, They're really good quality and are super comfy! 

Also I got my hair done yesterday and love it so much! I'm having a little difficulty getting my extensions the correct colour but I'm nearly there, watch this space!!

Number Fourteen - Fantastic Fedoras

 If theres something I don't wear enough of its hats, it confuses me because I LOVE how they look and really think they can add an extra ''edge'' to an outfit but for some reason I always feel really self conscious when I'm wearing one! 

Instead of worrying about other peoples opinions I think I'm going to bite the bullet and buy some to add to my wardrobe!

Top left - ASOS £30.00
Top right - ASOS £35.00
Middle left - ASOS £30.00
Middle right - TOPSHOP £28.00
Bottom left - UNIF Lore Hat $92.00
Bottom right - UNIF Concho Hat $88.00

All of the hats from ASOS are Catarzi and are exclusive to ASOS! There is more in the collection but the three I chose from it are my favourite! I love the 'classic' fedoras and think that the blue one is my favourite!! The third ASOS hat is very similar to the TOPSHOP one but has a more structured brim.. I think I prefer the 'floppiness' of the Topshop hat though as it is a lot more casual!
Last but not least the two hats from UNIF, I have posted about the Concho hat before and still love it! The Lore hat is equally as amazing and is velvet! I think I'm in love, it channels a ''witchy'' vibe as do nearly all wide brimmed dark hats and I love it!

Number Thirteen - My wonderful 2013

2013 for me has been full of surprises and twists and turns in my life in nearly every aspect! Overall I have had a really good year! The start of the year was a little miserable and not surprisingly being "freshly" single, jobless and in a total rut with what I wanted to do with my life after leaving college. 

After realising there's more to life than people who do not matter any more and no situation bad enough to make me want to punish myself and make things worse over it I slowly started picking up the pieces. Rebuilding and cleansing my positivity and overall happiness was honestly one of the best choices I made in 2013. Once that had started kicking in it was only upwards from there. 

Download // Zante // Christmas // LOTS of food dates with James // sunbathing in Zante // the group of us in Zante // My AMAZING Christmas present off James // New Years Eve // My stomach tattoo // My Birthday Trip to an aquarium // My birthday trip to Chester Zoo // My amazing Kitty // Alcohol // Myself // My birthday weekend to Amsterdam with James.

Friends & Family have never been more apparent than in this last year, my bonds with everyone have grown so strong and I really appreciate everyone who I have chose and have chose themselves to stay in my life. Also I think I learnt how to not take people.. friends especially for granted.

Download 2013 was a major highlight because on the 13th June was when me and James made our relationship 'official' best decision of 2013.. hands down. We had known and talked to each other for years and it just felt right. (And I got to sit in a muddy field getting drunk & watching bands... yay!)

My holiday to Zante in July was another amazing part of 2013.. while we didn't go mad partying & drinking we still soaked up alot of sun and had so much fun.. Ate good food, went on adventures such as renting pedlo's, going to the water park, going into Zante town and more! ..Still upset I didn't spot any turtles though!

I got a job! 

Now going into 2014 I don't really have any resolutions just things that should be unspoken really.. like 'mental' resolutions such as treating people how I would like to be treated and so on!

 Also I've bought an E-cig which I am using and haven't had a single cigarette this year yet! It's not my resolution to stop smoking me and James just spontaneously did it and it seems to be a good, healthier substitute.

I'm starting the new year with a haircut and plan to really make the most of myself this year, dress everyday like you're going to meet your worst enemy etc. etc... 

Has anyone got any good resolutions or even just a 'Year in pictures!?' I'd love to check it out and wish everyone the best for 2014.. I already have so much planned that I just know its going to top 2013!
