A Winter Fashion Haul

A Winter Fashion Haul

I haven't written a fashion haul for quite some time so I thought I would share some of the things I picked up to wear over the winter months. I actually bought all the things in this haul way back in September and October but they are all still available and I thought that since Christmas is upon us (2 more sleeps) if you do like something I share, it may be a little cheaper now or after Christmas Day. I will link all the items I share and tell you the sizes they are available in as I always find this helpful with fashion hauls. I hope you like what I've been wearing the last few months. 

Also I find it really hard to take photographs of clothing so if you would like to see any of the items on, drop me a comment and I will pop pics up for you. 

Primark

Denim Pinafore  - £12.00 - Primark

Denim Pinafore  - £12.00 - Primark

I saw this pinafore on the lovely Pam's Instagram and loved it, I have to say she looked a lot better in it that I do but I really liked it. My daughter Cole found it for me and picked it up and I love it, I looks lovely with tights and boots and a plain or striped top underneath. I went for a size 20 in it and it fits perfectly, it is available in sizes 4-20 and also available in black and burgundy too, the burgundy is corduroy and not denim.

ASOS

Rainbow Stripe Maxi Dress - Was £25.00 - Now £18.50 - ASOS

ASOS Fashion Haul

ASOS Fashion Haul

When I bought this dress I was really unsure if it would look nice on but I loved it on the model, it arrived just before I went on holiday in August but was part of their Autumn/Winter new range so I picked it up with that in mind. The first time I wore it I got so many compliments and still do everytime I wear it. It looks lovely on and now the weather has turned colder I haven't worn it as much but will definitely be rocking it again when Spring comes and now it's in the sale it's a perfect time to pick one up if you like it too.

I wear mine with converse and a denim or leather jacket for reference and I am 5ft 5" and mine is ankle length. If you shop in the petite rage at ASOS this is now down to £9.50 so even more of a bargain. I have a size 18 and the dress is available in sizes 4 to 18 in the regular range and 2 upward in the petite range.


Curve Smock Dress In Contrast Animal Print - Was £25.00 Now £17.50 - ASOS

This is another dress I was unsure of but as soon as it arrived and I tried it, I loved it and it is very comfortable to wear, being a size 18/20 I am able to shop in the regular and curve ranges at ASOS and this is from the Curve range, what I like about ASOS is that they sell a lot of their clothes across their ranges so for example the rainbow striped dress was available in their regular, petite, tall and curve range but this is exclusive to curve so available in sizes 18 to 30. I have size 18 and it fits really well and comes just above my knee. This dress looks great with tights and boots and a leather jacket.

Crew Neck Slim Fit Ribbed Top - £12.00 - ASOS

Next Fashion Haul

This simple black top looks great with jeans or leggings or under the denim pinafore. I picked it up because I needed a long sleeve black top and couldn't find one I liked elsewhere. It is available in sizes 4 to 18 and in other colours and in the curve range too. I have size 18 for reference and it covers my bottom too so looks good with leggings. 


Next

Faux Leather Jacket - £50.00 - Next




Next Fashion Haul

Next Fashion Haul

I have needed a new "leather" jacket since last winter but couldn't find one I like, and my last one came from Next and I wore it to death and it lasted me well for 4 years but I wore it for 5 although I really shouldn't have. I decided if my old one lasted well then this one should too. It is available in sizes 6 to 22 and comes in regular, petite and tall. I have only worn mine once, not getting out much means I don't get to wear things and mine is still at that "needs breaking in" stage that comes with a pleather jacket but once I have moulded it I'm sure it will be fine. It comes to my hips and fits nicely, I have a size 20 and usually always get a size 22 in coats and jackets from Next but it was way to big so maybe size down in this. 

Red Striped Top - £16.00 - Next

Next Fashion Haul

Next Fashion Haul

This is such a simple top to wear and looks great with leggings or jeans, I wear mine with blue jeans or black leggings and boots, converse or my Ugg boots. I sized up to a size 22 in this top, I originally ordered a size 20 and it was ok but didn't cover my derriere and me and leggings without a long top isn't a good idea so I sized up and it's quite big but looks really nice. It is available in sizes 6 to 26, in petite, regular and tall. 

Rose Mesh Long Sleeve Top - £16.00 Next


Next Fashion Haul

Next Fashion Haul

I really like this top, it is quite simple but looks lovely on, especially with a white or coloured cami underneath as the print is see through, you need to wear a cami or other top underneath unless you're comfortable with showing your bra which I'm not and nobody needs to see. The top is available in 5 colours and is lovely, they had a short sleeved on in the summer which I wish I'd got now but hey ho. I have a size 20 and it is available in sizes 6 to 26 and in petite, regular and tall.

Black Chelsea Boots - £32.00 - Next

Unfortunately I didn't take photographs of these boots so I have used the photographs from the Next website, but I wanted to share these boots with you because I had seen them online and wouldn't have purchased them, but I went in store and tried them on and they were so comfortable and looked so nice I bought them. I struggle so much with my feet and am in a lot of pain and this affects the shoes I am able to wear, I spend most of my life in Uggs and haven't found a pair of boots that are comfortable in years. These I can put on from standing by just slipping my foot in, I don't need to sit down and someone yank them on, they are so comfortable and look so much nicer in person too. I also got them wet through recently and they dried well, I brushed them with a suede brush and they look good as new. They are also available in tan, nude pink and leopard print and I honestly can't recommend them enough, they are available in sizes 3.5 to 9 and come in half sizes and wide fit too. 

So that's my winter haul, I hope you liked it and maybe found something you like. I haven't bought anything fashion or beauty related since the middle of October but let me know if you enjoy fashion hauls as I share my beauty hauls with you but always forget about fashion, so if you enjoy them I will share them with you.

Lulu Guiness Stationery - Scattered Lips Collection

Lulu Guiness Stationery - Scattered Lips Collection

I love new stationery, there's something about using a new notepad, note book or diary for the first time and today I have some lovely stationery items to share with you from Lu Lu Guinness.  I have included a Christmassy photograph as it's almost the big day and then none Christmassy photographs too as most people have finished their shopping now but if you haven't the things I'm sharing today can be ordered on next day delivery or if you don't need them in time for Christmas, they can be a treat for you after the festivities.

Lulu Guinness always have the nicest prints on their products and this Scattered Lips print on these stationery items is stunning. Today I have a 2018 Diary, Magnetic Jotter Pad, Gift Wrap Book & Ball Point Pen to share with you, and all are absolutely lovely and if like me, you like stationery, you will love these.

This Magnetic Jotter Pad is lovely and if like me, you like making "to do lists" this is perfect, it folds out at both ends to reveal a lined jotter pad and I love how the bottom folds out and the girl on the picture is winking, it's a cute touch. This is ideal if you love to make lists, or need to jot anything down and is the perfect size to keep in a handbag.

This is such a lovely pen, I haven't ever had such a lovely pen before and this is so nice, it is lovely to write with too and goes perfectly with the stationery, keeping the pen and notepad in my handbag is ideal and they look lovely together too. 


I adore all the Lulu Guinness stationery items, they all look lovely and have a stunning print and the diary and notebook are so handy and I have a beautiful pen to write in them with too, and the gift wrap book is amazing and will be so handy to have too. There are other items in the scattered lips range and I will definitely check those out too.

Christmas Gift Ideas With Joan Collins Beauty

Christmas Gift Ideas With Joan Collins Beauty

I discovered Joan Collins beauty for the first time at the end of 2016 and since then have tried quite a few products and have been really impressed. Today I have some products I think will make ideal gifts this Christmas. 

Joan Collins Timeless Beauty Compact Duo - Powder £16.00 - Lipstick £18.00

Christmas Gift Ideas With Joan Collins Beauty

The Joan Collins Timeless Beauty Compact Duo is a two in one product containing a setting powder and lipstick, the lipstick in the duo I have is Suzy Starr a bright coral toned shade which is perfect for me as I love coral, but any of the Joan Collins Divine Lipsticks fit into the compact meaning you can tailor it to which ever shade of lipstick you are wearing. The duo is also available in a bronzer option if that is more suitable for you.

The art deco packing of the compact is stunning as is the packaging of the lipstick and this would make such a lovely gift for someone. The powder is lovely and despite me having very dry skin, it doesn't settle into any dry patches or fine lines. The lipstick is extremely nourishing and feels moisturising on the lips. It doesn't bleed or feather and looks lovely. 

Christmas Gift Ideas With Joan Collins Beauty

The powder and lipstick are purchased separately so you can choose the lipstick for the compact which I think is a really good idea.

Joan Collins Timeless Beauty Divine Lips Lipstick - £18.00

Fontaine

I have two of the Divine Lips Lipsticks to share with you today and the first one is Fontaine, a hot pink cream shade, it is lovely and perfect for all year round, if you like a pop of colour this is perfect and like all the Divine lipsticks, Fontaine feels lovely and moisturising on the lips, these lipsticks are lovely, the packaging is stunning but the formula is lovely and despite being so nourishing they do last well on the lips. 

Rosy

Rosy is less bright than Fontaine but is another lovely pink shade, neither shade look entirely like the shade on the side of the box but I love that they have the image on the box with the shade as I keep the boxes that my products come in so it's an easy way of knowing I've got the right shade without squinting at the bottom of the lipstick for the shade name. Rosy has the exact same formula as Fontaine and is a lovely shade, it is a pretty pink shade that looks lovely with any makeup look. The lipsticks are available in 16 shades and are all named after characters Joan has played on screen throughout her career. 


Joan Collins Timeless Beauty Glorious Lip Gloss - £18.00

The Glorious Lip Gloss in the shade Piper is a lovely rosy pink shade with a slight lilac pearlescence. It is stunning, it has a doe foot applicator and applies with ease and isn't messy at all. It is opaque and could be worn alone or over a lipstick but it is opaque enough to wear alone. There are 6 shades available.

Christmas Gift Ideas With Joan Collins Beauty

The Joan Collins Timeless beauty products all have stunning packaging and make beautiful Christmas gifts, I always think there's something nice about having lovely packaging and these certainly have that, I haven't disliked anything I have tried yet from the range and as well as these products there are lots of other lovely items too, you can find the range online and in store at Marks & Spencer


Have you tried any of these products or any of the Joan Collins products? Which out of these products would you most like to find under your Christmas tree? Let me know in the comments below.
