Five Glam NYE outfit picks from ASOS

Hello everyone! And Merry Christmas Eve! Although this is such a hectic day, I really wanted to get this post up for you all because as Christmas gets closer and closer, so does the big night... New Year's Eve! In preparation for the night, I've been scrolling through ASOS to give me inspiration for my outfit this year. I firstly just have to say that ASOS is one of my favourite shops, no matter what I'm looking to buy I always find what I need. In all honesty, last year I remember me frantically flicking through my wardrobe just a few days before New Year's Eve and having my usual drama of.. AGH I have nothing to wear!!! But ASOS came to my rescue, and I found a gorgeous black play suit last minute - thank goodness. So if you're ever in a panic like I was, don't worry! The outfits I've put together are for a really glamorous, classy look; to make a statement as you enter the new year!

 I'd also just like to note that images are not my own, and are from the ASOS website (www.asos.com) which were found in correspondence to the products mentioned.

Hello everyone! For today's post I wanted to do something a little bit different, and to share with you three outfit ideas for Christmas day. I know that not everyone dresses up on Christmas day; a lot of people I know have a comfy pj day etc. But for me, I see family on Christmas and it's a tradition for me to get dolled up for the big day. So, these outfit ideas can be for any occasion around the season dependent on when your plans are. For this post I have selected items of clothing from my favourite clothing stores, as well as selecting items from my own wardrobe to show you:

Ginger festivities

With only one week to go until Christmas, I thought it was about time that I decorated this year's ginger bread decorations and ginger bread house. You really don't have to be amazing at decorating for this, and you certainly don't need a lot of decorations for it; it is a simple, festive activity that I absolutely love doing. I feel as though Christmas is a time when I really like to invest in creative things that spread the festive cheer; and decorating these ginger biscuits and ginger bread house really has become a ritual I wouldn't want to miss out on.

Outfit of the Night - Date Night

Hello everyone! For today's post I wanted to share with you an outfit I put together for a date night which consisted of us going out for drinks in a casual bar. So, for this I wanted to create a smart, yet casual look as where we went wasn't too fancy. For instance with this look, I wanted to stay comfy and casual by wearing jeans and a roll neck blouse, but smartened it up with a jacket and my favourite court heels.

Black and White striped Roll Neck

Roll necks in the Autumn and Winter season are my absolute favourite; they can be styled with so many things, and create both casual and dressy looks. Today I styled my black and white striped roll neck with a chunky gold necklace which is perfect for this time of year; with smart black trousers and boots. I also went for a curly hairstyle to add to the wintery, cosy look. Styling this simple turtleneck with a necklace and smart trousers instantly turns this into a classy, more dressed up look perfect for a day out in this cold weather.
