I Want To Ride My Bicycle





 





Sugarhill Boutique is becoming a firm favourite of mine. I can't get enough of their cool designs, their cute, quirky prints and their purse friendly prices.

Their bicycle print shirt is quite simply one of the cutest shirt I have ever seen! I spied it in a fashion magazine & went online to buy it before you could say "Fifibaggins is a shopaholic". 

The baby blue chiffon shirt features a cute hand-drawn print of brightly coloured bicycles with baskets adorned with flowers, carrying cute little dogs. It has a concealed button front, with gold heart shaped buttons on the collar and cuffs and a cool, contrasting dusky grey collar.

For a chilled late afternoon walk I styled my cute shirt with my favourite J Brand jeans and a cool pair of Stuart Weitzman over-the-knee boots.

Tis The Season








This is the very first Christmas jumper I've ever bought. I'm a bit obsessed with jumpers at the moment so it seemed right that I should get a festive one.

New Look have the best selection of Christmas jumpers this year hands down; from uber-Christmassy ones featuring Santa, Reindeer and Snowmen, to more subtle designs like this; the cute Penguins with their silver sequin panels nod to the time of year but I don't feel or look like a silly little Christmas Elf. It is the softest, cosiest jumper and I will be rocking it for many Christmases to come. You might even catch me wearing it after the holiday season!

I can't believe I didn't need a coat for this shoot; the Winter weather in dear ol' Blighty is gloriously mild for this time of year. I simply paired my jumper with my favourite J Brand skinny jeans and the best boots I've ever owned, the 50:50 over-the-knee boots by Stuart Weitzman.

In The Bleak Mid-Winter












"In the bleak mid-winter, frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone"
~ Christina Rossetti

A coat is the one thing we'll wear more than anything else throughout the cold Winter months; so when investing in one, it is always good to go for a great statement piece. This gorgeous faux fur number by Unreal Fur definitely makes a statement!

Australian label Unreal Fur launched in 2012 and their luxurious and ethical alternative to fur is now stocked all over the world. The 'Candy Blossom' coat is made from completely synthetic fibres. Beautifully soft, it is cut for a relaxed fit. Cream in colour, it features a very sweet contrasting pink collar, an open front with hook & eye fastening, pockets to the side and is fully lined.

Karl Lagerfeld once said "you cannot fake chic, but you can be chic and fake fur". This delicious faux fur coat is the perfect chic cover-up to keep you warm and brighten up even the bleakest of Winter days.

Whiter Than White










All the weather reports are telling us that dear ol' Blighty is about to have one of the wettest Winters we've had in years. Well I'm ready for it with this gorgeous over-sized, rain-proof, leather jacket from Ireland's Emma Manley!

'Abbie' is not your regular, run-of-the-mill leather jacket; made from the most fabulous white patent leather, it features drop shoulders, a flared, A-line shape and snap fastener buttons to the front. The hem and 3/4 length sleeves are hand cut with a decorative scalloped edge. It's different, it's unusual, it's beyond cool! When wearing it, I've literally been stopped in the street by strangers wanting to know all about this great jacket; 'Abbie' is a showstopper in every sense of the word.

For a lovely late afternoon walk, I paired 'Abbie' with my favourite J Brand skinny jeans, Stuart Weitzman over-the-knee boots (the coolest boots I've ever owned) and my treasured black satchel from The Cambridge Satchel Company.

Pure & Simple










'Elsie' is the sweetest dress from Manley's A/W14 collection. It is simply a dream to wear. Perfect for the office, the pub, a swanky restaurant, the theatre; this is my go-to dress for all occasions.

Made from a mid-weight wool, the dress features beautiful silver button detailing to the front and secret pockets to the side. The waist is fitted, the feminine skirt is gathered at the rear and the sleeves are a perfect 3/4 length. Elsie is available to buy in beige and in green colourways.

I jazzed up my sweet, simple dress by pairing it with a funky pair of red ankle boots. I'd spied these boots on a friend recently and had to treat myself to a pair; I was astonished and delighted to find out that they cost a bargainlicious £25! Funky, affordable and the perfect accessory for my cute dress, giving it exactly the right amount of cool. I struggled to choose between red and pink lipstick so in the end I took a few photos wearing both colours, just because I could!
