Morning ladies so before we get onto what I'm wearing today, I wanted to share with you this lovely Christmas gift that would be perfect as a gift to a friend or as a stocking filler or heck perhaps even to yourself hung on your tree as a reward for all the extra work Christmas entails :-)
As you can see from my picture the sparkling bauble contains a mini Charlotte Tilbury Legendary Mascara together with her Bedroom Black Rock 'N' Kohl eyeliner, two items which are perfect for adding to your make up bag this party season. Plus ideal if you fancy trying the products without paying full price. As you know I'm a huge Charlotte Tilbury fan & her eyeliner is one of the best I've ever tried. Lovely & soft, not scratchy like a normal pencil & smudges perfectly.
Back to today & after a wonderful day & evening spent celebrating my birthday yesterday, I've got a busy day in the office catching up on work & emails. So today's outfit is all about layers & comfort.
Knitted Jacket - Uniqlo
Scarf - Hush
Top - J Crew
Bag - Village England
Chinos - Zara
Boots - Hush
Knitted Jacket - Laura Ashley
Scarf - Hush
Jumper - Marks & Spencer
Bag - Village England
Chinos - Mango
Boots - Hush
I'm mixing a favourite colour combo of grey & khaki & layering up the cashmere for warmth. If you love grey as much as I do & are a scarf wearer then I can certainly recommend this snake print one from Hush. A great size for wrapping round you & lovely & soft & warmth thanks to the cashmere. Plus who can resist a little bit of animal print, perfect for those of us who hardly wear patterned clothing.
Right I'd better crack on. Have a fab day & as always I'll see you in the morning.

As a Christmas treat I am looking for a classic Cashmere jumper and just wondered what you would recommend as you seem to have some lovely pieces. Thank you

Hi Claire I've been pleased with all my cashmere pieces which range from Marks & Spencer, Hush, Boden, H&M & Zara & I've also heard really good things about Uniqlo too. If you can grab a good Boden discount code their more expensive pieces are a nice thickness & of course if Marks do another 20% offer that would be the perfect time to purchase.
DeleteIn terms of style I would go for a style & length you wear a lot & keep it classic & timeless such as a simple crew neck or 'V' neck jumper & if you wear skirts a lot polo necks look fab.
Hope this is of some help.
