How beautiful is the sky in these pictures?! I love London when the weather's like this; crisp, sunny and warm enough to wrap yourself up in your favourite winter woollies. I've pretty much been wearing this hat to death the past few weeks - it's too cold for my head to be going unprotected for long periods of time, and it adds a real statement to any outfit. Plus, I'm yet to find a beanie that suits me and doesn't make me look like I'm wearing a condom on my head, so it's currently the only option.
Lust of the week: ASOS White longline coat
We Brits seem to wear coats the majority of the year and I don't know about you but I get pretty bored wearing the same one day in, day out, which is why you need to invest in a few to see you through our winter months (at least, that's my excuse...my coat collection is getting increasingly large!)
I'm loving oversized, masculine coats at the moment; they create an interesting silhouette and are classics that will work for years to come. This one from ASOS White is a great twist on the ubiquitous black coat and will look equally as good with evening wear as it will during the day.

I think green is my favourite colour at the moment; it's not one that you see that often in clothing and a dark green is a great alternative to my usual black. I pinched my man's watch for this outfit - I love men's watches because they're big, minimalist and completely free of diamante - try this one, this one or this one for similar.

We're getting scarily close to Christmas and I'm currently trying to find gifts for my nearest and dearest...but every time I sit down to look at what our wonderful high street has to offer, I'm immediately drawn to all the things I want and find my wishlist growing and growing, while I still haven't actually bought anything for anyone else. Oops. So I thought I'd put this together just in case there's anyone out there who's struggling to buy for me as much as I'm struggling for them (hint, hint), or you're lacking gift inspiration for the women in your life.

A pretty simple look that I wore last Sunday - when it comes to the end of the week all I want is comfort and warmth so a big thick jumper and duster coat I can wrap around myself is perfect.
I did my first batch of Christmas shopping yesterday; I can't believe how quick it's coming around! I took the day off work and it was so worth it - there is nothing worse than central London on a weekend at this time of year (well, Oxford Street is a bit of a nightmare pretty much any time of year) and it meant I could actually enjoy the experience. There are so many incredible things on the high street at the moment - I had to do some real restraining - but it's given me all sorts of inspiration so I've got a little gift guide coming up at the end of the week.
