good morning my little elves!
well i've woken up feeling particularly bah-humbug this morning, with the citypretty household in the grips of a cold and my beautiful Cambridge looking, well, grey at the moment.
its not a good recipe for christmas cheer. add to that, two weeks of deadlines and working like crazy and all i want to do is hole up and hibernate!
so i thought i'd share a few loves of mine for snuggling up and fetching your own sparkle to the city,
enjoy darlings...
*all product links can be found at the end*
1. an awesome hat!
don't do it! don't bring out the good old 'but i don't suit hats'. everyone suits hats! have you tried every type? for this kind of weather i'd be going for a good old beanie! beanies have been making waves this fall. its all about the embellishment and i've found a couple of cuties...
this little gem is from
blingstar jewellery Liverpool.
this was the first embellished hat i bought back in the fall. and i'm completely in love with it. the caramel color means it goes with so much and the studs add a tough edge. i must have worn this hat more times than i can count and not a single stud has budged.
i love pairing this with a simple scarf and a leather jacket.
for the more girly of us, i found this beanie in primark, Cambridge.
I love how the large pale pink, blue and silver gems stand out against the white.
perfect for any snowflake wannabe.
add a little glitter to a tartan dress + a peter pan collar.
2. hand warmers!
everyone knows what a hand warmer is but check out these super cute ones
(perfect little stocking fillers - hint hint familia)
these beautiful hearts are covered in super soft cashmere and thanks to their reusable filling, they don't break the bank. these are from etsy, an amazing site for cute presents.
or if you're seeking a more country manor feel check out these
Harris Tweed hand warmers
from notonthehighstreet.
whilst a little more costly, they are reusable and would make a beautiful gift.
3. slipper boots!
banish those cold little piggys with some super snuggly slippers, perfect for that hot cocoa in front of the fire!
now i'm more than just a little fussy about my slippers.
they have to involve pink.
they have to be furry (inside or out)
and they have to be from accessorize.
so here are my two faves from their current line...
the bright heart fairisle boots (left) are the ones that i have myself and they are so so soft. filled with soft fur all down to the toes, and a lovely aztec style pattern, they are a definite fave.
and for the animal lover, the purrfect fairisle boots (right) are awesome. with a black and white cat pattern and fur inside and out, they only thing that could make the boots any cuter would be pompoms. oh wait.
so now your all cosy from head to toe; make a brew, stick a film on (christmas themed of course) and get your snuggle on.
kisses
Gabs.
