Magpie tendencies

So the sparklers in the top left may be slightly OTT, but am feeling embellished gloves & hats this Winter. I loved Elisa Nalin in Paule Ke & the House of Holland SS13 boyfriend beanies. Definitely going to have a crafty session in the next week as although I think there are some gorgeous pieces out there, it's something that can be easily replicated yourself- saving money whilst gaining unique pieces : )

I've knocked up a quick inspiration board, the simple Zara wool coat is perfect for jazzier accessories, teamed with BARGAIN chunky cable knit scarves from Asos, wardrobe staples Topshop Baxter skinny jeans & this beautiful Markus Lupfer sweat. I'm kicking myself for not buying the colourful embroidered Turkish boots in Istanbul, they're a little naff but I don't care! Likewise for the embroidered Simone Camille bag, Istanbul was teaming with similar bags with a far more reasonable price tag. Looks like I'm going to be making a return in the very near future then...
