Winter Warmers.

Winter (and Christmas!) is fast approaching and its time to dig out those jumpers! I will definitely be wearing my Christmas jumper soon; one I bought in Camden market last year! For those of you who are looking to invest is a classic winter jumper; here are some fab picks!

There are so many great options when it comes to knitwear; I have chosen a few of my favorites. I know its not even November yet, but as soon as Halloween is over I will be pulling out the Christmas style knitwear! If you are wanting to make a bold statement when it comes to Christmas jumpers this jumper from River Island is great! There will be no questioning which holiday you are excited for! Primark are also doing some very cute Christmas jumpers this year, so if a very christmassy jumper is what you are looking for then I suggest that you pop into your nearest store and have a look. If you want a Christmas feel without having the word 'christmas' and big reindeer images plastered across you then a fair isle print is perfect; I particularly like the one from Asos; these bright colours are sure to brighten up any winter day! Urban Outfitters, in my opinion, are the best place to go for a good jumper. They may be a little more on the pricey side but for quality they are definitely worth it! I've also included some jumpers that are wearable all year around (well in this country, as we don't see the sun very often!). I adore the floral print one from Pull & Bear and have been debating whether to buy it and probably will when my student loan comes in next (naughty!). I think that a good jumper in a great print or colour is an essential and will definitely be investing in a new one myself this year!

The Witching Hour.

Halloween is on its way! Here is my pick of great Halloween related items, both ones that would be great for a costume and those that just generally have a Gothic, creepy feel!

There is so much choice this year when it comes to finding a Halloween costume, and you don't just have to look in fancy dress stores as many high street stores and online brands have Halloween ranges.I actually considered the skeleton dress from Ark for myself but decided to go with something I already own (being a poor student and all). This is a great for Halloween and is very affordable! I also think that the pumpkin beanie hat from Asos is super cute if that's what you are looking for! There are also loads of Gothic dresses which would be great if you are wanting something you can wear again, such as the black midi dress from shelikes.com.

I know this isnt anything to do with fashion but oh well..

Lately on my Facebook, twitter, Instagram, everywhere really, I've seen dozens of people showing how much weight they've lost.. Well I'm the other way.. I have put on weight. But in a good way! I just want to point out that I didn't always look the way I do in the first photo. I used to be a healthy normal teenager until about age 15 when things went down hill. I used to be obsessed with programmes like Americas next top model and I aspired to be like the girls on that show but maybe took it too far.. I mean I've always been slight but I just took things to the extreme. The first photo was took before my year 11 prom, aged 16, but I had the frame of a child! It started to affect my school work and finally in the second year of a levels I had a realisation (with help from others.. Aka friends, family, teachers).. I suddenly saw how if I didn't pull my act together my future would suffer.. As I started to get better, I came into myself more, my grades improved and I had an unforgettable year 13! The second photo is me in June this year. I think I now look healthy and happy! I just wanted to post this as I know first hand how obsessive weight loss can be and how it easy to go too far!
