Autumn-Winter and the festive season is not only my favourite time of the year socially, it’s my favourite time sartorially too. Textures, embellishments, sparkle and shine serve to make clothing and accessories all the more exciting and enticing. I don’t follow trends slavishly and I describe this a style blog rather than a fashion blog. But I do enjoy adding a few key pieces to my wardrobe each season.  Below are my winter favourites. Some I have already purchased and not yet worn. Others I have already shared here on my blog. The rest are those clothes and accessories that have caught my eye for a variety of reasons. I have included some Black Friday offers too, which are correct at the time of writing.

She Wore Green Velvet

This season there is a prevalence of green velvet in shades from teal to forest. I have got the teal velvet swing dress and you can see it in action here in my previous blog post. I think each of the shoes is exquisite; these emerald slippers give Dorothy’s ruby numbers a run for their money.

Paint The Town Red

I have always loved wearing red. I find it incredibly uplifting and vibrant. You might recall that I wore the red blouse with black pom pom jeans a few weeks ago. from the selection below, I also have the velvet pleated skirt and the strappy flats, so I can recommend both wholeheartedly. The flat shoes are unbelievably comfortable and have Marks and Spencer’s renowned Insolia lining. I love them so much that I bought them in black too. expect to see them a lot over the next few months.

Red suede strap flats (also available in black), Marks and Spencer £39.50

Red suede kitten heel ankle boots, (also available in black), Marks and Spencer £69

 

Winter Blues

Navy has always been one of my favourite colours. In many ways, I find that it is more versatile than black. I adore both of the delicate, feminine dresses below. A tulle skirt can be surprisingly versatile. I wore my grey tulle skirt with a sequin top and sparkly shoes for a party look. To dress it down, I wore my tulle skirt with a breton and pumps.

Make A Statement

Slogan jumpers have been popular for several seasons. Not only do they make a statement, they make an great alternative to a Christmas jumper too. I have just got the POW one amd the multi-colured stone one.

Baby It’s Cold Outside

By now you’ll know that I spend hours and hours every week taking my son to football. He plays matches on both Saturdays and Sundays and baby, it’s cold out there when I’m standing watching. I’ve spent considerable time researching the best options and without question, a long down coat will be best possible outer layer. I didn’t want black and I wanted it to look good, this is in the lead so far. After all, style and practicality should not be mutually excelusive. I wear wellies most of the time but even with thick socks, my feet get cold, so I have been looking for a warmer alternativeI didn’t need to look for long. Muck Boots are my go-to for wellies, (you may remember I went on a press trip to River Cottage with them back in September). This pair of Artic Apres lace-up boots with fleece lining is on its way.

Dazzle With Tassels

I know I’m late to the tassel earring party, but I’m certainly making up for it. All of these are from Next with whom I’ve been very impressed for the last few seasons. This selectionstarts from £8, so they;re great stocking fillers or Secret Santa gifts. I have got both the turquoise pair, which I wore with a jumpsuit when I was in Lanzarote and the same pair in black. I wore those with an enbroidered top. I can confirm that they are very comfortable and don’t feel at all heavy.

Dainty And Delicate

In complete contrast to the statement tassels above, I also love pretty and delicate jewellery in warm and rose tones. These pieces are all by Ted Baker jewellery and are all currently reduced.

Sappelle crystal daisy ultra-fine crystal cuff, (also available in yellow-gold and white-gold tones) usually £39, Ted Baker. Black Friday 25% off, now £29.95

Other Black Friday Reductions

There are reductions of up to 40% at House of Fraser , and 30% off plus free delivery and returns at Boden. As always, John Lewis will be price-matching everything . There are some brilliant reductions at Denby too, in case you’re needing to get some extra crockery ahead of Christmas. I love my white Denby dinner plates and I’m looking forward to mixing them with some brigher pieces for a festive table setting. White is so easy to co-ordinate. There is 20% off almost everything at The White Company which is where I’m heading to now to get my annual Winter candle- my absolute favourite!

Anyway, happy shopping and I hope you like my favourite things as much as I do!

      It’s been a popular little skirt hasn’t it. I haven’t actually worn mine yet. I’m going out for a festive afternoon tea with my mum next week, so I think it can make its debut then!!! xxx

~ Specs by Prue 👓 ~ Yesterday, @benjaminoptici ~ Specs by Prue 👓 ~
Yesterday, @benjaminopticians, we had an open day to celebrate the practice’s 70th birthday. I was delighted to be sharijg the full collection of @specs_by_prue courtesy of @mac_eyewear_uk_ireland. It is a stunning, vibrant collection which is very wearable, very comfortable and beautifully fabricated. I always encourage patients to try something out of their comfort zone and it’s amazing how many will fall in love with a style they wouldn’t have gravitated to. 
I’m wearing model 22012 in colourway 3, tortoiseshell and aqua (with my prescription lenses in). Swipe to see it in detail and in other colourways.

I mentioned on my blog that I was stalking the matching trousers to this fabulous @me_andem jacket. My tenacity paid off and they came back into stock in my size so I duly snapped them up. And..they’re fab. I can’t wait to wear them both as a suit and as separates.

I “rediscovered” this @boden_clothing citrus-yellow necklace a few weeks ago when I was sorting through my boxes of costume jewellery. It reminds me of my early blogging days when a Breton top with a statement necklace were my school-run staples. Hard to believe that was a decade ago. 
Anyway, I’m glad I found it because I still love it 🍋.

~Wedding dress-up~
I loved playing wedding dress-up for @stepper.eyewear. Not every bride wants to wear contact lenses so we chose some beautiful styles that would make the perfect wedding eyewear. Remember that there is a choice of European, Asian and African fits too to suit different facial characteristics for #theperfectfit. All details on the STEPPER Eyewear website and on my blog. Links to both are 👆🏻.
This is model SI-30192👰🏼
