Tartan Mon Amour

This has to be one of the most comfiest outfits I've ever blogged! It's taken me a while to warm up to this style of Tartan print (It's very reminiscent of my uniform as a school kid!) -  however I spotted these Tartan leggings on a few of my fave bloggers' Instagrams a while ago and it definitely brought me round to the idea. So much so I picked myself up a pair in Topshop a couple of months back! They are super duper comfy and although my size wasn't available, I found going down a size was a better fit anyway with them being so stretchy! For £25 I was a little worried when pulling them on that they were going to come up see-through like so many patterned leggings do, but they remained check pattern in tack and they are surprisingly thick! Unfortunately they have now sold out.. BUT they are still on the site which makes me think they will come back in stock and also I hunted down some on Ebay if any of you guys wanted to buy them!

I've also been loving all the Sportswear Luxe-esq tops and sweatshirts coming into stores and have too much Amour for this 'L'Amour' slogan H&M one. It's so soft and easy to wear, and perfect to throw on if you want to keep it casual. I wanted this quite slouchy so opted for a size up so I could wear shirts etc underneath it too! It looks great layered with skirts, shorts, jeans you name it!

Tartan & Baroque

How bloomin' freezing has it all of a sudden got? Today was the first day I cracked out the gloves and multiple layers to go to work in so I thought I would share with you all my new favourite winter accessory - this amaaaazing tartan blanket scarf from Zara. I've been loving all the Tartan coming into fashion so once I spotted this online for only £19.99 I had to get it. It's double sided with a traditional scottish tartan one side and a black and white check the other. It is literally the biggest, softest and cosiest scarf I own (pretty sure you can use it as an emergency picnic blanket too if you find yourself in that predicament?!) so it's a lotta scarf for a small price! I teamed it with my baroque print skinny jeans from River Island, and Feather band floppy hat from Fox & Feather in Bristol which I loveee and got when I went to their store opening a little while ago. I managed to get a cheeky 10% off it with their fun discount darts game - I'm not the most skilled with a dart, put it this way, I missed the whole board to start with so I was pretty chuffed with any discount! If any of you live near/in Bristol I recommend giving it a visit, it really reminded me of all the fab vintagey boutiques up and down Northern Quarter in Manchester.

 Ps.As usual Puppy always ends up stealing the limelight - look how much bigger she's got!!
