Party season is mid flow and you’re inundated with invitations to parties and Christmas catch up drinks with old friends. If you’re lacking in inspiration for your festive looks this week – we’ve got you covered!

Christmas is round the corner and we don’t know about you but we are ready to dial the seasonal vibes right up. Why not try running a festive red theme through your look?
This week our favourite fashion blogging duet, Charlotte and Emma, show us how to stay warm in style this season. Keep scrolling to see their favourite woolly finds from Barnardo’s, which will ensure you standout and stay warm during this cold spell.
As it’s been a bit milder these past few days I thought I’d whip out this short-sleeved number. In this ice blue colour it’s perfect for the run up to Christmas and I love the glittery thread that runs through it! Teamed with jeans and later, my leather jacket, it’s perfect for a day of shopping.
As Christmas party invites begin to pile up, it’s the perfect time to invest in some red pieces for your wardrobe. Red is a flexible colour that can work for any event, from casual drinks with office friends to get-togethers with the family.
Think rich shades of crimson and deep wine hues that will add a touch of class to any outfit – and don’t be afraid to overload on the glitter and sequins this season. If you’re worried about looking too much like a festive bauble, tone down the outfit by adding a simple velvet clutch bag or wrap around a faux fur collar.
As temperatures drop, it’s officially time to invest in that perfect coat to combat the winter chill.
Coats have become the object of all our recent shopping missions. With so many trends to choose from these shopping trips are becoming difficult, but don’t worry we are here to help! We’ve rounded up our favourite trends to help you track down that scene-stealing coat.
One of this seasons stand out coats is the humble puffa. It’s made a major comeback and is infinitely cooler than the basic styles we remember. It’s the perfect go-to on a chilly winter morning. Style it with a silk dress or skinny jeans and boots and you’ll look like you’ve just stepped out of London Fashion week!
her tips on all things hygge‘Hygge’ is this winter’s buzzword: the Danish word that means staying cosy with friends and enjoying the simple things. We may be inundated with guides on ‘how to do Hygge’ but the joy of this movement is that it can easily be created from charity shop finds.
Maybe it’s because the Danish winter is so long and cold that cosy blankets are needed. Many Copenhagen cafes have their own supplies of blankets and throws for customers to wrap themselves in while sitting outside. Pick up your own hygge blanket from your local charity shop.
Slurping hot chocolate and marshmallows in a favourite mug is another hygge favourite. Browse your local Barnardo’s shelves for some winter themed ones. We picked up these Christmas mugs a few years ago – perfect for homemade soup on a cold day.
The big chill has finally arrived but let’s be honest, getting dressed in the dead of winter is not an easy task! What’s the perfect go- to on a chilly morning? Always a thick chunky knit. There is nothing more comforting than snuggling up in a soft jumper.
Winter brings with it the perfect excuse to layer up, meaning we can’t stop shopping for winter woollies. The more the merrier in our opinion!

‘Tis the season for oversized everything! No matter where you’re going, oversized knits are the perfect winter fashion statement. They are incredibly comfortable, cosy and stylish.
Pair them with anything, from skinny jeans to miniskirts and everything in between. Use oversized knits to transform a lacklustre outfit to something you’ll want to flaunt on Instagram.
