Pink, the big colour trend you hate to love
I'm sorry to say guys, but pink is in! Why sorry? For me it comes down to the use of the colour in films, often with the ditzy character drowning in pink. Or it could be the fact that as a female the colour pink is rammed down your throat from day one. In fact, I would probably bet that every child when they are born have been given a gender specific coloured gift, and if your a girl, don't ask why, its pink. So, if I have a clear aversion to the colour, why have I been rocking the most in your face pink puffer? Because right now I am starting to fall back in lust with it again. Why not love? I don't think our relationship is quite there yet!

How to style a Bralette ft Boohoo.com
Gone have the days were that washed out grey'ish comfy bra was fine, now, more than ever, the bra or the bralette is queen, especially when it comes to giving an outfit a certain 'je ne sais quoi'. Now don't panic, I am not saying that you need to go all Mean Girls on me and cut holes in your tops like Regina George but it is definitely a subtle way of adding detail to an outfit. So when Boohoo.com got in touch with me and asked if I would style one of their bra's from their lingerie range showcasing the trend or the aptly named 'peek-a-boohoo' trend I was firstly bloody thrilled with that pun and secondly intrigued. Before agreeing, I naturally did a spot of research i.e. had a good look on their website lingerie page you can do some 'research' here and I must say I was pleasantly surprised, not only by the choice, but also by the price! Okay, so after doing some 'research' or basically making a mental checklist of everything that needed to be in my life/underwear draw the challenge began...

Best of the high street: Knitwear
In last week's post (check it out here) I talked all about the new knitwear trends that are emerging this winter season and what are, in my opinion, the key things you should be looking for if you want to nail knitwear and drag it kicking and screaming from your nana's basic cardy (cardigan) to the modern shapes and fit. So the best way I thought I would do this is give you guys an example of whats on the high street. Okay, so to recap, here's what you should be looking out for if you want an update. Oh, and all the jumper's I have picked pretty much tick each box below.
Sleeves
I am talking Long Long Long sleeves, the might get in your food kind. Or Bell sleeves which you might loose food in. Honestly, reading this you would think I have no table manners but sometimes it feels like food gravitates to anywhere but my mouth.
Body
By that I mean long length which actually gives you more for your money because the amount of outfits you can actually style increases using one jumper.
Oversized
I know the above sort of hints at this but oversized seems to be the aim of the game with this seasons knitwear. But, by oversized I mean, well baggy, you know, not fitted, no structure and best of all adaptable, meaning, more bang or wear for your buck.
Necklines
Although these vary greatly I find the ones that look the chicest and also don't leave you with the chance of pneumonia have slightly higher necklines. They're not a full roll neck but there's just enough material around the ol' neck area to make it a detail.
H&M Jumper with Trumpet sleeves £49.99
H&M Knitted turtleneck Jumper £49.99
Miss Guided High Neck grey jumper £18.00
If your still not sure I would recommend you invest in an oversized jumper because they always make the best lounging around, eating pizza, watching strictly sort of jumpers and that is my sort of investment!
