Hey, lovelies!

I'm officially back from my little Christmas break and I felt like sharing an outfit I wore on Boxing day with you. 
Liam's family and I went out to the local Indian restaurant in the evening for an amazing meal. Funnily enough though, only one out of the five out us ate an Indian dish. 
We also took part in the pub quiz that we didn't know was taking part, but somehow we ended up winning! The prize was a bottle of whiskey, so it's safe to say that Liam's dad was pretty chuffed. 
I'm sorry about the quality of these photos. Liam took them on my phone for me as I didn't actually take my camera with me.

Are you all looking forward to NYE?

A little while back I was lucky enough to win a competition over on Facebook. 
I won this gorgeous vintage leather bag and I absolutely love it. Next time I use it I need to remember to take a photo of the clasp, it's so unique!

I definitely recommend you go check them out!!

topfivewintercoats

With the past 48 hours of constant rain, I felt inspired to find my top five Winter coats. 
I've always been pretty awful with coats. I just getting soaked. Especially now I'm driving, I just find I don't wear one. 
This year though, I feel I may need to add one to my wardrobe. If this weather is anything to go by, I'm going to need one. 

If you were like me and watched the Burberry show during LFW, then you'll probably be lusting after a trench coat right about now. 
This one from Topshop is a good alternative with a extremely smaller price tag. I'm also loving the addition of the leather collar.
2. Vintage Camo Jacket - £29.99
This is one of my favourite camo jackets around at the minute. 
They seem to be a huge trend for A/W and can be found in an array of different styles. From the simple ones like this one, to the more structured ones covered with studs.
Luckily, I won a give away over at Unwritten Hollywood, so soon I will be receiving an amazing customised one made by this lovely lady.
Duffle coats seem to be a recurring trend for Winter. I love the fact this has the addition of a fur hood and quilting detail.
This is the ultimate keep warm coat.
4. Brown Hooded Coatigan - £65.00
To me, this coat screams granny chic. 
It's not something I would normally pick, but I found my eyes kept creeping over to it. I think it may be for the fact that it looks incredibly warm. Definitely a coat I can now see myself wrapped up in on bonfire night, with a cup of hot chocolate in hand.
The only downside to this coat, is it may not be ideal for rain. It'd probably feel like you were wearing one giant soggy sponge.
Saving the best till last. I am in love with this coat.
I recently featured this in my River Island Wishlist and it's been all I can think about since.
I think it's definitely an acquired taste, purely because it has so much going on. But in my eyes, leather, faux fur and a bit of tartan, how can you go wrong?
This coat may just be on my Christmas wishlist this year. 

What's your top coat pick for Winter? Leave links in the comments below.

Hi my lovelies! 

A couple of days ago I was introduced to a brand named Qulit, now make sure you're reading that right, it's not quilt. I made the same mistake. With Fashion Week quickly creeping on us, I really wanted to share with you the amazing-ness of this brand.

Qulit is owned by Malaysian born Reena Aris. Her brand combines her Asian heritage and western upbringing, bringing 'East meets West' together.
Qulit means skin in the Malay language, meaning most of the products are made from top quality, licensed leathers. Qulit employ craftsmen in Asia and strives to maintain ethical whilst creating very distinctive and original apparel.

The Qulit designs are all very edgy and unique. They use everything from colour blocking to huge silver spikes and gold studs to give each piece character. As a designer, Aris wanted each piece to be able to carry itself, therefore each piece is edgy in its own way. 
The Python Edition pieces see the addition of texture, another feature to add a different dimension to any outfit!

I'd say the Qulit products are all very high fashion, but easily wearable. The prices are rather high, but if you're the kind of person who likes to splurge on designer shoes, then why can't you do the same with clothing.
The moment I clicked onto the website, I was met with bright, bold, eye catching colours and absolutely gorgeous images! As a complete photography geek, they sucked me in and I had to see more!

I am now in love with every single item and I can only hope to one day own a piece that will be in my wardrobe until it reaches its last legs.

If you are a lover of leather, a sucker for snakeskin and have a sweet spot for spikes then I think this may just be for you.

To see their full range, flick through their lookbook and read their blog, head over to Qulit.co.uk

Yes, you heard right! A top trend this winter is fetish, but not the scary whips and chains kind of fetish, oh no, this trend is definitely all about pumping up the sexy, but in more of a classic way. Expect to see leather pencil skirts, thigh high boots and lots of black. Focus on the texture of your outfit, complement cold, smooth leather with a soft touch me jumper, or even clash the demure look of black lace with a piece of spiky jewellery.

This trend isn't for the faint hearted, but is certainly an easy look to put together. Just think black and texture and you're sorted!
