Helpful Tips: Updating for Winter

The weather is changing outside, so you know what that means... its time to get dressed for the cold!! I personally love cold weather clothing because you get to wear lots of layers and scarves, tights and warm socks, and of course boots. 

Sometimes it is hard to make the transition from wearing summer clothing to trying to find outfits that will keep you warm, and are still cute. Thats why I am going to give you some simple tips on how to make your outfits warmer!

I love wearing skirts and dresses, but my legs get cold really easily. So, of course, tights are a really great option. I love almost any kind, but I especially love unique tights. I always try to wear something out of the ordinary while still being trendy, so if i was going to wear a standard dress or skirt I might wear interesting tights in different colors or patterns...but don't go to crazy. They are also great for making your summery shorts more appropriate for winter.




One thing that always seems to be an issue for me is keeping my face from getting cold. I always find my nose or my ears just get freezing! That is why I love scarves. I could never really pull off scarves until I discovered the infinity scarf. For some reason it is the only type of scarf that really looks good on me. Throughout the day, when I go outside I always wear (along with my awesome coat (which I love)) a plain, grey, Calvin Klein infinity scarf that I got from T.J.Maxx. But sometimes, just to make a slightly boring outfit have more personality, I wear a fancier, more interesting scarf.




Layers are really useful. I wear cardigans and sweaters almost everyday. You can through a cardigan over anything, and then add a jacket or a coat along with it. I love the style of cardigan that is really trending, and those are the long bulky cable knit cardigans that look really slouchy. I don't happen to own one, but I do have a lot of really long cardigans, which work with both jeans and skirts. The great thing about cardigans is that you can wear them over any type of top. Whether its a tank top, or a T, or even a cropped top (which I own a lot of).





I hope those tips gave you a better idea about what to wear this season. If it did feel free to comment and tell me what your planning on wearing or what tip helped you the most.

Look Book: Topshop Haul



It is now the time in autumn when it is starting to get really cold. Everyday in the mornings I walk to the bus stop, so I really needed a hat (and while I'm at it, a warm sweater too). 

Recently I have been watching a lot of British youtubers on youtube. 
Mainly Zoella: http://www.youtube.com/user/zoella280390. 


She got me completely obsessed with TOPSHOP. Now I have never actually owned anything from TOPSHOP before so it was kind of ridiculous.
So, finally, I went online and decided (with some convincing of my mom) to get a super cute cable knit pompom hat and a pink cable knit sweater. 

I was so excited to get the package in the mail but it took much longer than I thought it would. 


When the package came I was literally freaking out, so I took some photos for you all to see my excitement!!








Do you like TOPSHOP?
