See what I did with the title huh huh?!

I was recently contacted by Katie at Best British Bloggers and asked if I wanted to review an item by Joe Browns. Although I was not that familiar with the website I knew all about the catalogue as my dad gets one through the post. After much deliberation I finally decided on this cream cable knit cardigan as I had been after one for a very long time, just could not justify the prices in Topshop! I really was torn between this cardigan, this vintage style jumper and this alpine patterned cardigan. The knitwear really is amazing this season!

I placed my order on the 23rd November and had recieved it by the 25th November in the morning. Brilliant service, I was very impressed! Being the impatient girl that I am I hate having to wait too long for things I have ordered.

The cardigan ticks all the boxes. It is the perfect oversize fit, in fact the sleeves are a little too long for me but it is just how I like it. I recommend that you go a size smaller than usual if you don't like things too baggy. It is so warm and cosy, I didn't have to even wear a coat when I went out. Impressive right? Sometimes woolly things can irritate my skin but this is so soft, I haven't took it off since I recieved it!

I am sure you agree that it really is the details that make an item of clothing. I love the brown old fashioned buttons and the big pockets that help to keep my hands warm. Anyone else get annoyed when things don't have pockets?

Thanks once again to Katie and Joe Browns :)

A Snapshot #4

001: First attempt at a ring manicure this week. I really like it although I have lost count of how many people asked my why I had one glittery finger. I just explained it was a Kelly Rowland thing but I still don't think Essex is ready for this jelly.

002. Recieved a second glossybox this month free of charge after I attended the Motel Rocks event. I was so pleased to receive the bath salts and the nail wraps. I actually perfered this one to the one I paid for!

003. Finally managed to get a huge chunk of my Christmas shopping done. I only have about 3-4 left to get so am feeling pretty good about it. Hopefully I will get it completed by the middle of December.

004. Girls night out! Worryingly when I got to the local club I was informed I didn't need to show my ID because "he knows my face as I am always there". I am not sure if that is a good thing! I suffered today at work but it was worth it, had lots of fun dancing!

005. Team Edward! Finally went to see the new Twilight film simply so I could stare at Robert Pattinson for a few hours. It was pretty cringe-worthy at times but I think it was pretty true to the book which is always good. Anyone else thinks that Edward just constantly looks in pain?

006. Perfect hangover food. I popped out for dinner after work with a few collegues which was very welcomed considering I seemed to have a second wave of a hangover by 3pm. Nothing beats a bit of stodge when you feel like you are dying.

Santa baby

I'd like to find these under my tree on Christmas morning. Of course they are all overpriced and my chances of owning anything are slim to none. But you never know I may grab them in the sales.

Asos Pepper Platform Peep Toe Mary Jane Shoes - £50

Glitter shoes. Need I say more?

Leopard Contrast Collar Coat - £75

Yeah I know I already have a leopard print coat but I don't have one with a black collar. I am going to try and hunt this baby down in the sales.

Velvet Halter Dress: £68

I am a sucker for velvet. And this dress is mustard. Complete win in my eyes.

Asos dress with Embellished Collar Skater - £65

I spotted this dress in the Asos magazine that gets sent to my house to taunt me. I have lusted over it ever since.
