Essential Winter Ingredients

Winter kicks off in three days, though I must say I feel like it arrived yonks ago.  I can barely remember summer.   Whilst I am a self-confessed summer girl, I do love winter fashion.  The layering, coats, boots, scarves and gloves.   I also love nights in, by the fireplace/heater, curled up on the couch with a blanket reading a book, getting lost on the www, watching a movie or just hanging around doing nothing.  Here are my essential winter wardrobe/handbag pieces.   What are yours?

1. A statement ankle boot @ Guiseppe Zanotti

2. Sleek black jacket @ Saba

3. Cashmere love @ Alexander McQueen

4. Easy to throw on knit dress @ Marcs

5. I'm cold bitch beanie @ Urban Outfitters

6. Do not leave the house without Lucas' Paw Paw Ointment (or live with ugly chapped lips)

7. Fun gloves @ Allanah Hill

8. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte (one of my favourites)

9. Basic knit top @ Marcs
