Atleast I won't have to choose between freezing in style or wearing a coat and covering this dress. I can just sit in front of the heater.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio3ji-N1GkqhL7QKxPauyyhE2zUlwEXP64DYpPo4VOOixLAfwoJWuk8J3ERVgdAvB-E7fA1Qm6K0HxNvQ0njtX53R_4iM-AzMNUfcb5xg65RNm4eMo9RPRj_zNz_WpLZj90o94gcZmI_U/s1280/GetAttachmentThumbnail-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1280" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio3ji-N1GkqhL7QKxPauyyhE2zUlwEXP64DYpPo4VOOixLAfwoJWuk8J3ERVgdAvB-E7fA1Qm6K0HxNvQ0njtX53R_4iM-AzMNUfcb5xg65RNm4eMo9RPRj_zNz_WpLZj90o94gcZmI_U/w640-h640/GetAttachmentThumbnail-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Next up is this <a href="https://femmeluxe.co.uk/jade-green-crop-ribbed-two-piece-set-suzi" rel="nofollow">green cropped ribbed co-ord set</a>.

Hi guys,<br />
<br />
We're half way through 2020 and wow, what a six months it has been. So far this year I have got my Masters results, started a new career, and the world's gone to shit.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Let's have 10 minutes of frivolousness before we have to get back to the real world.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/collections/weekend-winners" target="_blank">FemmeLuxeFinery</a> have kindly gifted me some new clothes to review, so let's jump in.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVMM9j7iSWzqvg9DdZ-8PObTEPt8cVM_7Rhl4rb6XR1lJksYcKJOihzoYIVL_wU4eIVF5GxjK9LqongJfmjfuDhucLAkE367maiH5Km_0_QiYnML6V6_sloXp9FzLdPzieo4F4gudjI1A/s1600/thumbnail_image3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1225" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVMM9j7iSWzqvg9DdZ-8PObTEPt8cVM_7Rhl4rb6XR1lJksYcKJOihzoYIVL_wU4eIVF5GxjK9LqongJfmjfuDhucLAkE367maiH5Km_0_QiYnML6V6_sloXp9FzLdPzieo4F4gudjI1A/s640/thumbnail_image3.jpg" width="612" /></a></div>
First I received this <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/grey-white-knitted-crop-top-loungewear-set-lelia" target="_blank">Grey Knitted Loungewear Set</a>*.<br />
<br />
It's extremely comfortable, although it is actually a bit to warm for the moment, even with the weather getting cooler again (it's currently thundering outside). I'll definitely be packing the bottoms of this set away ready for Autumn.<br />
<br />
Now that I'm back at work I have worn the top a few times, it's great to just throw on over an outfit when I'm sat in the office with the AC blasting.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8rljCB-7XdXrBU8HAIcuVSGgDNU7pB0bWTQtEbWDDSp4nGKfJuAQPScYLHLPwXDLtQ9WSzyS5wZEzULccFsffqkpzMHfWysIoW0V2qEeWbMdIYRu7yF-JjLnnJsJ7ICQoNAOcZqrocuE/s1600/thumbnail_image5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1058" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8rljCB-7XdXrBU8HAIcuVSGgDNU7pB0bWTQtEbWDDSp4nGKfJuAQPScYLHLPwXDLtQ9WSzyS5wZEzULccFsffqkpzMHfWysIoW0V2qEeWbMdIYRu7yF-JjLnnJsJ7ICQoNAOcZqrocuE/s640/thumbnail_image5.jpg" width="528" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO0XLnFuksaQ0haS-e_IDMqkbUor-TGt6HyCS8ek31vxX717RS6gCG0P8CHO5n_yInV1rFMekKVI1gF8yFm5clUXOrMc1Jy_rrXE1WbMouOlbXGroqzKHgTmgrOVjP8Y_ca4W-QSDYp7o/s1600/thumbnail_image7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1273" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO0XLnFuksaQ0haS-e_IDMqkbUor-TGt6HyCS8ek31vxX717RS6gCG0P8CHO5n_yInV1rFMekKVI1gF8yFm5clUXOrMc1Jy_rrXE1WbMouOlbXGroqzKHgTmgrOVjP8Y_ca4W-QSDYp7o/s640/thumbnail_image7.jpg" width="636" /></a></div>
Next up is this B<a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/black-mesh-sleeve-string-tie-crop-top-flaca" target="_blank">lack Mesh Crop Top</a>*. I think this is so cute, we might not be able to go on nights out at the moment but when we are, I am ready!<br />
<br />
I go to and fro with puffy sleeves, sometimes I hate them and think they're too much, but I quite like these ones. This is the kind of top I wanted to be able to wear when I went through my emo/goth/all the alternative phases when I was younger; I'm glad I have it in my life now.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1lG9E_nvXuBeGtCW8kuvTkZj_AY1U52I2xBzKCHqtMByDFswjqi21IbV_87TcyfrAag-J5qE4jmHW0vIl05EN6xpLz0nnTmQucpyJ7h0njxtfIzcvnZ5_-OxXUaAi1ub9Ma_91ntfvUo/s1600/thumbnail_image8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="878" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1lG9E_nvXuBeGtCW8kuvTkZj_AY1U52I2xBzKCHqtMByDFswjqi21IbV_87TcyfrAag-J5qE4jmHW0vIl05EN6xpLz0nnTmQucpyJ7h0njxtfIzcvnZ5_-OxXUaAi1ub9Ma_91ntfvUo/s640/thumbnail_image8.jpg" width="438" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9e7g5e3RTRqKrQhcNVzH6_q3RK0TXBguhzXabqb9l0TQ5WxSuXiUlgkhrZWLo5d8D57FK4o11JzBh_vv6CLCujqRXSbk0h7Cm_AmfZVCNFSfpiKZhka3b-xbqzRoGEDmJh4_obwlvkgo/s1600/thumbnail_image9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9e7g5e3RTRqKrQhcNVzH6_q3RK0TXBguhzXabqb9l0TQ5WxSuXiUlgkhrZWLo5d8D57FK4o11JzBh_vv6CLCujqRXSbk0h7Cm_AmfZVCNFSfpiKZhka3b-xbqzRoGEDmJh4_obwlvkgo/s640/thumbnail_image9.jpg" width="512" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I paired the top with these <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/black-cargo-slim-fit-trouser-sunny" target="_blank">Black Cargo Slim Fit Trousers</a>*. As someone who is 5'8" these are a little more cropped on me than on the model on the website, but with a pair of black boots they are fire. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll probably end up wearing these to work more often than not. I've already worn them there once, with a plain black shirt, the top from the grey knit set above, and black boots. The pockets are great because I can actually put stuff in them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUMXglGHr2k5zlitMKuWMewIxiuugHSZ6q62-rUSP8Emfoc3F2hXHJFZEH68n_cWVT4Lgo_AU2qMcfBsx_thT678qVA6LoxMnR9BNjYU4vVaLLtLP44b2tjhxLSu8MhK9AG71tNLMPk7k/s1600/thumbnail_image1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="960" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUMXglGHr2k5zlitMKuWMewIxiuugHSZ6q62-rUSP8Emfoc3F2hXHJFZEH68n_cWVT4Lgo_AU2qMcfBsx_thT678qVA6LoxMnR9BNjYU4vVaLLtLP44b2tjhxLSu8MhK9AG71tNLMPk7k/s640/thumbnail_image1.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
Finally is this <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/wine-loungewear-tracksuit-set-maria" target="_blank">Wine Loungewear set</a>*. Like the grey set it can get a little warm with the weather, but it'll be perfect for those cooler nights, when the thunderstorm hits (like tonight).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2YNb80QV6jGtdrBkm9DfN_StahpOeAylj5oXMujk73paEbux2ar7uCgsnZwkQE-C7fAF4dRmJXOO9WwKYV5WxP78HPXUCBDoS-sQ7bAhZZKf2rAjGIBTQ_qohOv0Ni2TJvSOkRFWeAh0/s1600/thumbnail_image2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1069" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2YNb80QV6jGtdrBkm9DfN_StahpOeAylj5oXMujk73paEbux2ar7uCgsnZwkQE-C7fAF4dRmJXOO9WwKYV5WxP78HPXUCBDoS-sQ7bAhZZKf2rAjGIBTQ_qohOv0Ni2TJvSOkRFWeAh0/s640/thumbnail_image2.jpg" width="534" /></a></div>
<br />
I hope you're all doing well, or at least as best you can in the current circumstances!<br />

2019 was a funny old year. <br />
<br />
It was the year that I moved out and started living on my own. Thankfully I've always been a saver, and budgeting is something I'm good at (I love watching budget videos on youtube), so I've not fallen down the debt rabbit whole (student loans don't count).<br />
<br />
I also completed my Masters in 2019. I submitted my dissertation in November, so I don't have my final grade yet, but this summer I'll hopefully be graduating with an MSc! My final grade will be released in January and I cannot wait.<br />
<br />
A new job is also on the horizons, which I am very excited about. i haven't had a start date yet, but hopefully it'll be in the next few weeks. I can't wait to see what else 2020 has in store for me.<br />
<br />

<br />
If I did a whole round-up for the decade we'd be here until 2021, but it was full of the good, the bad, and the ugly. I started 2010 as a fresh adult at 18 years old, and ended it as a seasoned pro. Politicians lie, council tax is expensive, and there's nothing like stroking a dog.<br />
<br />
I hope you all had a great new day/year/decade! Here's to the next 10 years!<br />

It's that time of year again, christmas party time. Which also means it's time to get a big glam, and get those <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/collections/christmas-party-dresses" target="_blank">party dresses</a> out. Today I've got a few more looks from <a href="http://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/" target="_blank">Femmeluxe</a>.</div>

I love the colour of this <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/emerald-bardot-cowl-neck-ruched-midi-dress-malia" target="_blank">bardot style midi dress</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">*</span>, it's a stunning emerald green (the last photo is most true to life). I love the silhouette this dress gives me, I'm not very curvy but this dress makes it look like I do. The only issue I have with it is that it was difficult for it to stay up, so I paired it with this <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/silver-glitter-open-back-high-neck-crop-top-julie" target="_blank">silver glitzy crop top</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">*</span>. Not only does it help with a bit of modesty, but it keeps you a bit warmer on these cold nights (and days). I live right by a canal and it was frozen the other morning, I'm not made for this weather. I felt sorry for the swans, to be honest.<br />
You can't really see in the photos, but the top has an open back and ties at the bottom, you can just about see the bow I tied at the front.<br />
FemmeLuxe did have a <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/silver-glitter-bodycon-mini-dress-macy" target="_blank">dress</a> that was made with a similar material to the top which I almost got, but I knew no matter how much I wanted a pretty <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/collections/glitter-dresses" target="_blank">glitter dress</a> I'd get more use from the top. Also, it was one of those mini dress that would barely cover my backside because of my height.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2OlNpwn_MGt71rGrEXO5GSU6hUm1RIQTFe9KAT12MxVOwA7UeohFMOHULDCcXlW9Bni0trgIYVJdpwY68EYUbibXX5NoU9Xe3R92QyRuNfZLsvhQti7aiBmQy0kaQuq14U4KsZxsx_lk/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2OlNpwn_MGt71rGrEXO5GSU6hUm1RIQTFe9KAT12MxVOwA7UeohFMOHULDCcXlW9Bni0trgIYVJdpwY68EYUbibXX5NoU9Xe3R92QyRuNfZLsvhQti7aiBmQy0kaQuq14U4KsZxsx_lk/s640/4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
This <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/black-faux-leather-bodycon-mini-dress-jameie" target="_blank">faux leather bodycon mini dress</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">* </span>is stunning, they also have it in a wine colour but black is classic. Again, to keep a bit warmer I've worn the<a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/silver-glitter-open-back-high-neck-crop-top-julie" target="_blank"> silver top</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">* </span>underneath, but I was thinking it would look nice with a nice white blouse under it. Maybe a little too Maggie Gyllenhaal in Secretary for some people though.<br />
When wearing this outfit out I do stick a pair of leggings on too at this time of year. I feel like I should have probably cropped my router out of that photo, too late now though.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg_O_UftBAj2WtEfbAomIqG2Q0jb6u4EVWgX-kbK5PJD-N1f9bP00ELEsviGugKURo7er4wSSyrlWApWHsJdpXnFoSPJ0WR457-mmRCe6VXpBej25A_DF62M_XUcLbxzPMA8cs0UkhISM/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="607" data-original-width="850" height="456" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg_O_UftBAj2WtEfbAomIqG2Q0jb6u4EVWgX-kbK5PJD-N1f9bP00ELEsviGugKURo7er4wSSyrlWApWHsJdpXnFoSPJ0WR457-mmRCe6VXpBej25A_DF62M_XUcLbxzPMA8cs0UkhISM/s640/5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Finally I put this <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/cream-long-line-split-jumper-menzie" target="_blank">split jumper</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">* </span>over the <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/black-faux-leather-bodycon-mini-dress-jameie" target="_blank">mini dress</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">*</span>. This look is a lot more casual, which, I find, makes it a lot easier to wear. Also, I do enjoy being warm over fashionable. I've been wearing this jumper none stop since I got it, over skirts, jeans, and dresses. It's also better quality that it looked in the website photos. The only thing is, when I put my massive coat on over it I do have to untie the knot otherwise I can't zip up my coat over it.<br />
<br />
Are you going to any fun Christmas parties this year? I'll be out next weekend and I cannot wait.<br />
Caio!<br />

Christmas is my most favourite time of year. I love the decorations, the markets, and of course the actual day itself. Now that I have my own place I can finally decorate how I want (within reason, the Christmas budget only stretches so far), and when I want (meaning the beginning of November).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My decorations are a mix of old and new. I think I've spent around £20 of decorations this year, but I'm hoping they'll last for a while.</div>

These Father Christmas nesting dolls have been with me since I was a child. I'm not sure if they belonged to my mum or grandma first, but I've loved them forever. Sadly one is missing, and as you can see one is a bit worn. I've learned not to keep these in direct sunlight I'm just glad only the one got damaged.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I love rabbits; this bunny mug was a git last Christmas from my best friend. The fake flowers I bought in April (I think from the Range), and the acorn sprig (is that the right word?) was from Wilkos.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

More bunnies! <a href="https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-midwinter-encapsulated-rabbitbear-tree-bauble/p/0483698" target="_blank">This</a> as also form Wilkos, they have 3 for 2 on a variety of Xmas decs and I just fell in love with this one. They've got some really cute bits in this year, including a pair of otters that I bought for a friend, which I can't seem to find on their website.<br />
The "let it snow" sign behind was something I bought years ago in poundworld.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A lot of my decs don't really match, but I still love them all, either aesthetically or because they were gifts, so they all have a place. I love snow-globes, almost as much as Sylars mum did, so I always have to try and resist them. This one was from Poundworld a few years ago, and I'm surprised nothings happened to it yet. The Starbucks cup & the Paperchase panda were both gifts from my best friend.<br />

I decided this year that I only need a small tree, maybe in a couple of years I'll get something bigger, but at the moment <a href="https://direct.asda.com/george/christmas-shop/trees/3ft-green-pre-lit-christmas-tree/050680619,default,pd.html?cgid=D18M2G1C4" target="_blank">this little three footer </a>from Asda will do. I also bought a set of <a href="https://direct.asda.com/george/christmas-shop/trees-decorations/tree-decorations/copper-mixed-christmas-tree-baubles-36-pack/050647821,default,pd.html?cgid=D18M2G1" target="_blank">baubles</a> from Asda. You can see the tree a little better in my<a href="https://the-den.blogspot.com/2019/11/femme-luxe.html" target="_blank"> last post</a>, although I have added some <a href="https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-foliage-christmas-tinsel-2m/p/0323007" target="_blank">foliage</a> from Wilkos since that post to fill it out a little. Because it's a mini tree I decided to use mini candy canes from Home Bargains, I love putting a candy cane in my brew to feel all Christmassy.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And there's my angel. This belonged to my Grandma, it was handmade by her godsons ex-wife and it has always been my favourite Chrismas decoration from my Grandparents house. It's a bit discoloured now, after being around for over 30 years, but it will always have pride of place in my home. The wreath was from B&M, I am a little worried that it might fall apart whenever i decide to move, but it's so pretty. I have it up in my living room, rather than on the door, so it'll hopefully be less likely to fall to pieces.<br />
<br />
Have you decorated for Christmas? What's your favourite Christmas decoration?<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, it's been a while. This past couple of years has just been hectic, 2019 most of all. At the end of next month I'll write a year in review post to catch you up on all the goings on, but for now some things are still in progress so I'm keeping shtum (schtum? who cares).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, I was contacted by the guys at <a href="http://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/" target="_blank">Femme Luxe</a> asking if I wanted to review some of their clothes, and I thought why not (weirdly enough I was in Manchester this week and went past a billboard ad for the company, it felt like a sign!). It can help get me back into the swing of things (I'd actually forgotten how much time it takes to take outfit photos, shoutout to my tripod). I chose 4 items and they're not too shabby.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/grey-high-neck-bodycon-jumper-dress-esmelia" target="_blank"><img alt="grey jumper dress femmeluxe" border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="1220" height="364" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJyaEubzSjG1NI-Ue8WL_vm6GCN8eb5NfoNUMuvtJiXJAmDiUIeiUfpMpxfwO1FIf-3bdpmKzIBYHruWkQ1WAcM-5TJ8cQzXr6abD1DCYrYQeYZVmDyir097yDYfFp2EBEhd7m3Fq4Hr0/s640/1f.jpg" title="" width="640" /></a><span id="goog_1952633501"></span><span id="goog_1952633502"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/grey-high-neck-bodycon-jumper-dress-esmelia" target="_blank">grey jumper</a>* - <a href="https://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.0189616001.html" target="_blank">leggings</a> - <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/black-high-neck-bodycon-jumper-dress-esmelia" target="_blank">black jumper</a>*</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First I chose the <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/black-high-neck-bodycon-jumper-dress-esmelia" target="_blank">black jumper dress</a>* on the right. I love jumper dresses, they've been my go to in the colder months for about 15 years. Once I saw it was in multiple colours I had to get a <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/grey-high-neck-bodycon-jumper-dress-esmelia" target="_blank">grey one</a>* as well. These jumper aren't particularly thick, but they're great for layering, and so comfy. The only odd thing about them is that on the website they're called "<a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/collections/bodycon-jumper-dresses" target="_blank">bodycon</a>", but I wouldn't say these are tight enough to go by that name, and when I hold them up they seem to just drop down straight rather than cinch in at the waist. Maybe on someone more curvaceous they would have that bodycon effect. I still like them, but it is something to keep in mind. They're also very short, at 5'8" I wouldn't be able to leave the flat with bare legs because you would see my derrière.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/black-slinky-wide-leg-trousers-kosmo" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="slinky wide leg trousers" border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1580" height="403" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsXg2ZqP8ulvcIjuNTmi3ON32JkSQ57y3bEPFFe_TE4J8INTFaMeZ8zblzeLriUg2JIc_n48K3Ff6BEHUazfmDD0ll6SnwL6TA6fmkjvI_lQOIq-b6733V0quwl27IZI8-M-ubl8CF-G0/s640/2f.jpg" title="slinky wide leg trousers" width="640" /></span></a></div>

<a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/black-ruched-knee-length-bodycon-dress-taylor" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="midi bodycon dress black" border="0" data-original-height="873" data-original-width="1600" height="347" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQt4qj0nsMi6mcalh3f0EpS_-jklSaExE_I8t99vHbixN9_GInsYWHUXqxBYd3qkpiMCgETeLmBSXo0F5TLTV4CK0BBZsQpLktiqPNl1Y67I-fcsHOd8rae9f25C3pOqO0GyJFjTduJeY/s640/3f.jpg" title="" width="640" /></span></a></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/black-high-neck-bodycon-jumper-dress-esmelia" target="_blank">same jumper again</a>* - <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/black-ruched-knee-length-bodycon-dress-taylor" target="_blank">dress</a>*</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next item I picked out was these </span><a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/black-slinky-wide-leg-trousers-kosmo" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">black trousers</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*. Now I will be honest, these trousers will show every lump and bump you have, so if that's not something you're comfortable with you might want to avoid them. They are really comfy though, and they go well with the previous jumper dress.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">T</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">he final item I chose was the </span><a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/black-ruched-knee-length-bodycon-dress-taylor" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Taylor dress in black</a>*<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, this dress is available in a variety of colours, but </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">black's classic (it's hard to go wrong with a nice LBD). It's ruched, and quite tight, so I could either wear it as a midi dress, like it's intended, or hike it up and have it mini (much better for dancing tbh). Again, I've worn the jumper over it in the first image; This would actually be an ok dress to wear to work (depending on your dress code) if you were </span><a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/collections/weekend-winners" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">going out</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> afterwards, you just need a jumper or something over the top and the skirt will just look like a pencil skirt. Femme Luxe have loads of gorgeous <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/collections/dresses" target="_blank">dresses</a>, and it was difficult to choose just one dress, but I thought a nice mix of items would be better than 4 of the same thing (couldn't resist with the jumpers though). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Similar to a lot of fast-fashion online retailer the quality of Femme Luxe products can be hit and miss.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With the trousers they are quite a thin material, so depending on the light they might be see through. However with this dress I was pleasantly surprised that it is double layered, so while it might not keep you warm in the winter months but it does leave enough to the imagination.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go finish decorating for Christmas. It's actually my first Christmas living on my own, and i'm so tempted to go ham with decorations, but I'm going to restrain myself. Mostly because my bank balance won't allow me to go too overboard.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How are all you doing? Enjoying the brisk winds of autumn? <span style="font-size: x-small;">(honestly thought I was going to get blown away the other day)</span>.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
I've been wearing my old boots pretty much every day for around 2 years, and it's time to retire them. They've been worn so much the leather has thinned, and there are now two little wholes in the right boot. I do still love them, and haven't managed to throw them out (yet), but I did buy these boots as a replacement a few weeks ago. They're from the same brand (Dune), so let's hope they last just as long.</div>

Chinese New Year in Manchester is always a good day out. This year I'll be working on Sunday, during the actual parade, so I decided to go down today and try out some of the food. If you're in Manchester tomorrow I'd definitely recommend visiting the centre and spending stupid amounts of money on food.<br />
I really wanted to try out Bing & Bao, but the queue was always massive, so instead I went with Yang Sing. If it hadn't been chucking it down I probably would have queued up, but I was already soaked.<br />

Sometimes you see something in the sale that you really want, but don't exactly need so you don't buy it. Then, when you go back online later because you've decided you actually really do need them they've sold out. That's the story behind these trousers. I was absolutely gutted, then I managed to find them in the big Zara in Manchester, where I immediately snatched them up before I could change my mind. Again.</div>

Wasn't the snow lovely! Thankfully I wasn't actually out in it in this outfit, otherwise my legs would have dropped off from frostbite. A few toes certainly came close. I pretty much spent the snow day snuggled up in my dressing gown, only venturing out to take a few photos of the prettiness.<br />
<br />
I do love this dress, but it's not often I wear it. The material snags quite easily, so I have to be very careful about where I'm walking while wearing it. That's not an easy thing for me, if I go a day without bumping into something I consider it a miracle.<br />

The snow only stuck around for about 24 hours, I was very disappointed. The only good thing about it was that here wasn't much of a slushy aftermath, so I was able to go to work without donning my wellies. </div>

New day, new blog post, new bag. Add them all together and what do you get? A crying bank account, and a "what's in my bag" post, duh.<br />
The items in my bag haven't really changed since the last What's In My Bag post I wrote 6 months ago. There's still a stupid amount of lip products, a few pens (yet no paper to write on), and my purse. I only actually need to carry around a few of these things day to day, but everything seems to gravitate to the bottom of my bag. If I can't find a lipstick it's usually in my bag.<br />
There are some things that I carry around that I forgot to include in this, namely my keys and my phone.<br />

With Christmas over my hours have gone back down at work; no more working 6 days a week (for the foreseeable future)! This means I actually have time to sit down and catch up with the blogging world. Be it writing my own blog, or reading others, I love relaxing with my wifi.<br />
For my first outfit post of the year I thought I'd go with an old favourite: Zara. I still remember when we first got Zara in my hometown, it was lust at first sight. 8 years later and we now have a love that will never die, Ross and Rachel ain't got shit on us.<br />
I'm not a big wearer of white (I say this every time I do a outfit post wearing anything white), but this skirt just had to come home with me last year. The shape, and material is just perf! Zara know how to make a good pencil skirt, they always fit perfectly.<br />

I have such a love/hate relationship with sales; my heart loves them but my head hates them. I'm pretty sure if my bank balance was animate it would be weeping more than I did when Angel died in Rent right now. Who can deny thyself a bargain? Not I. Technically I did not overspend during the sales (only because I didn't set myself a budget).<br />
<div>
Like <a href="http://the-den.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/with-my-mask-off.html" target="_blank">last year</a> I bought myself a new handbag (look out for a What's In My Bag post) which was reasonably priced, a card holder which was not reasonably priced, and a load of Lush stuff which was half price! Bargain.</div>

Happy New Year! I wish you all the best in 2016. Nothing big really happened to me in 2015, so here's hoping next year is a little more interesting.<br />
New Years resolutions aren't really for me. I'm less of a goals person, and more of a hopes person. For 2016 I hope to not spend as much money on clothes and makeup (wishful thinking), to get a new job, and to just be happier.<br />
I'm in work today, so I thought I'd do a quick little post showing nine of my best Instagram photos of the year. Ok, so maybe I was inspired by (cough*copied*cough) 50million other bloggers to do this.<br />

With the boxing day just around the corner I thought I'd show you some of my favourite beauty picks that you should look out for in the sale (or you could buy now as last minute gifts). Beauty gift sets are always a favourite of mine, and it's even better when they get discounted post-Christmas.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First up we have the Stila Eternally Yours Liquid Lipstick set. I'd never tried Stila before, but I quickly fell in love with these. The red shade (Fiery) has to be my favourite, I've been wearing it none-stop for weeks now.<br />

Another set is this one from Bite Beauty. I love the Bite lip crayons, and this set is great for trying them out. I just wish you could get this brand in England, thankfully Sephora has international shipping.<br />

Now, this isn't really a set, but it's is a Christmas themed item. It's the This Works Sleep Plus+ cracker. I've heard a lot about This Works over the years, all of it good. The Sleep Plus+ is something that you spray on your pillow at night, and it's supposed to be a natural remedy for broken sleep.<br />
<br />
What will you be looking out for in the sales?<br />

For years I've heard about NYX products through various youtubers and bloggers, but it's been so hard to get hold of in the uk. For a while NYX was stocked in Next, but not one local to me, and I didn't want to just buy from the NYX website. A few weeks ago NYX launched in Boots, and I was so excited!<br />
As soon as I heard the news I was planning a visit. All the lip products wanted to come home with me, but I managed to control myself and only buy two items.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_dcHrWjr7nQLMDfWuItjPsTBpvK49rnpFMU0xi5jJMA2n_OdurHVRDziEvW4Dvs7wcpz6aiWAELeiI-VX33FtK-UGR5pHHawkP0gcUL5E8cqXmtG7d8wraWMSiCY1MqXmpQaxrENMIfk/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_dcHrWjr7nQLMDfWuItjPsTBpvK49rnpFMU0xi5jJMA2n_OdurHVRDziEvW4Dvs7wcpz6aiWAELeiI-VX33FtK-UGR5pHHawkP0gcUL5E8cqXmtG7d8wraWMSiCY1MqXmpQaxrENMIfk/s640/2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first product I picked up was the soft matte lip cream in San Paulo, a reddish pink. It's a nice little lip creme, slightly patchy at first, but easily buildable. I will be honest, the majority of my make-up is high end, and NYX really doesn't hold up against the likes of Kat Von D or Lancome when it comes to liquid lipsticks type products. The colour payoff and lasting power isn't the greatest, but for £5.50 it's not too bad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also bought a lipliner in the shade BedRose. A pinkish nude, I feel like this would be a great base for most of my pink/nude lipsticks. It's smooth to apply, and the colour is gorgeous. I'll definitely be trying more of the liners from NYX.</div>

With Christmas just round the corner I've barely had a chance to dress nicely and go anywhere. Seriously, working retail during Christmas is brutal. If I'm not at work then I don't really feel like going out. T'is the season for works Christmas do's though, so I thought I'd throw an outfit together that could be worn to one. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I bought this dress over the weekend from Select, and I fell in love with is as soon as I saw it. The colour is gorgeous, and at £13.99 it's was a bargain. I always seem to buy a red dress at this time of year, this is the third year in a row I've done so. Usually they get worn on Christmas Eve when I get together with my family.</div>

This morning my friends and I braved the weather (and christmas shoppers) to visit the Rock in Bury. As in the shopping centre, not Dwayne. I didn't buy much, just the essentials (tights with Thumper on them, and a red dress).<br />
<br />
Afterwards I photographed my friends cats, the little cuties did not want to stay still at all. I did manage to get a few good shots in though.<br />
<br />
Today was a good day.<br />

It's become apparent over the last month or so that I can't resist a nice jumper. I own a lot of jumpers already, but when the cold hits I just want to be surrounded by them. Some people dream about rolling around in a big pile of money, I dream about rolling around in a big pile of jumper.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I don't own any christmas jumpers, and have never owned one (to my recollection). That had to change this year. I found the above jumper in Primark and it is perfect. Not too tacky or over the top, it's great to show a bit of Christmas spirit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn6gnYH4mhBCSZ_oZOojLaBgyviP3Xs1-LgyUyjLW7QKcu-uxF-sBDx9MxkM5eohXpnru5T8BrTPM-qHViX4sgZB4Tuj8rIy6rbTRiMLasidvLs0wdqF1ynYFsUjlIzuPJM9S9QbQ8D94/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn6gnYH4mhBCSZ_oZOojLaBgyviP3Xs1-LgyUyjLW7QKcu-uxF-sBDx9MxkM5eohXpnru5T8BrTPM-qHViX4sgZB4Tuj8rIy6rbTRiMLasidvLs0wdqF1ynYFsUjlIzuPJM9S9QbQ8D94/s640/3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This next jumper is also from Primark. I already have this jumper in a <a href="http://the-den.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/she-woke-up-late.html" target="_blank">grey/white</a> mix, and I knew when I bought that one that I'd probably end up getting other colours. Hopefully I can stop after 2. They're just so cuddly and warm though, I usually wear them to work under my uniform. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Last but certainly not least is the jumper I'll be living in over Christmas. This beauty is from H&M, and a bargain at £14.99. It is honestly the warmest thing I own, and not scratchy, which I thought it would be given the sparkly bits. I was thinking about wearing this for our family Christmas meal, but it's so warm that I might just turn into a puddle while cooking.</div>

November is here (and has been for 2 weeks, whoops), and the weather definitely matches the month. I managed to catch a cold over the weekend at work, so instead of going to the Christmas markets today I'm staying in bed.<br />
This outfit is from around a month ago, I've just not had time to keep up with the blogging world. That's one good thing about being ill, I can catch up with all the blog posts I haven't been able to read in the past month.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">skirt & shirt - H&M</span></div>
Everyone needs a little sparkle in their life sometime. I've been wanting a black sequinned skirt for about a year now, but it's taken a while for me to actually find one that fits right. This beauty caught my eye in H&M and it was lust at first sight.<br />
Black sequinned skirts always remind me of Angel from Rent because she wears one in the "Take Me Or Leave Me" scene (and looks stunning in it).<br />

The perfect lipstick colour to go with a sparkly skirt? Red of course. Then again red lipstick goes with pretty much everything if you can find the right shade. MAC's recent Guo Pei collection launched a few weeks ago and I managed to get Brave Red before if sold out.<br />
Brave Red is described as a 'bright yellow red'. I wouldn't really call it bright though, it's more of a muted red on me, and thankfully it's not too yellow. It's a Creamsheen, so it's not drying and has a nice coverage.<br />
The Guo Pei collection has the loveliest packaging in the world. The lipstick comes with kind of a sleeve in a stunning print. If you don't know who Guo Pei is, they are a fashion designer. To me she is most famous for designing <span id="goog_1749472473"></span>Rihanna's dress<span id="goog_1749472474"></span> for the Met Gala, y'know the <a href="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/05/06/11/2850644800000578-3070057-image-a-11_1430909749467.jpg" target="_blank">big yellow one</a>?<br />
I believe this colour is in the permanent collection, so you can still buy it (just without the pretty packaging).<br />

I am so ready for Halloween. I probably won't be going out on the actual day (unless I have to work), but you bet your ghosts I'll be watching all my favourite Halloween movies. Hocus Pocus, HalloweenTown, Casper, and then at night I'll have to watch at least one Nightmare on Elm Street. Freddie was always my favourite horror movie baddie, although I do have a soft spot for old Jeepers Creepers.</div>
