THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR....

Much like millions of people, Christmas is an incredibly exciting time for both myself and my family. This is why I have been MIA over the past few weeks as I have been so busy with festive celebrations and catching up with friends and family at home. The task of squeezing everything in over the holidays in such a short space of time is a hard one, but it's all worth it. These few weeks are

what I have been looking forward to over the past four months of intense uni work; it's definitely the best reward! We were lucky enough to enjoy a white Christmas, as it snowed heavily on Boxing Day. It was magical.

So, today's look. Both the boots and coat are December sale purchases. Shoes and coats have become pieces I obsessively collect and many would probably say I have too many, but obviously, a girl can never have too many shoes (or coats)! Although I may be a little late on the band wagon concerning the knee-high black boot trend, I was searching for a pair which were both comfortable and fitted nicely - these more than fit the bill! The zip detailing is both unusual and stylish and the leather is super soft. Good things come to those who wait - I would always recommend waiting for your ideal item when a trend becomes popular. It just gives time for it to settle in and stores to start producing a larger variety of styles. The silky black fur headband was bought just before Christmas and was particularly useful when exploring a chilled Barcelona. An icy setting was imperative for today's look with all the fur involved, and this requirement was pretty simple to come across after such widespread snowfall over the weekend!
