I have been looking at more straight fitted jeans lately and the perfect straight jeans for me are either from the men's department or young boys, plus they are so much cheaper. On another note, today is another busy day spent organising my move to London. I am a bit unsure where we will be for Christmas day and I haven't really had the time yet to get into the Christmas spirit. I have been looking at some fun decoration ideas and 'Christmasy' recipes.

My Essie colours

I have a fashion or rather a beauty - confession to make. Until two weeks ago, I really didn't believe in paying more than a couple of Euros for nail polish. I don't know why, there was just something so ridiculous with the idea of spending anything between 11€ and 25€ on a small pot of colour. So I brought H&M nail polish, HEMA nail polish and any other cheap stuff I could get my hands on. Don't get me wrong I like these brands but they really shouldn't be doing nail polish. No only was the stuff useless - I can now say that - in that it always came off, but it completely ruined my nails.

So when the first Deauty box arrived at my door and inside was a lovely pot of red nail polish, I was very intrigued to try it out. Let me tell you it was blissful. What a tragic discovery I had just made, I could sense this was going to come and bite me in the backside. That it did, of course now it's all about the 'good stuff' and that doesn't come cheap. Clearly, sometimes the price does explain the quality and effectiveness of the products - sadly this is not always entirely true. I was also tempted to try out the product many have been raving about - the Drip Dry by OPI, and it does indeed work wonder, a few drops and your nails are instantly dry.

So here are the colours I have been wearing this Autumn and winter. From left to right: Sew psyched, Chinchilly, Angora cardi and Lint candy apple.

What are you winter colours and what brands do you use?

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Mine was hectic and not very relaxing but a weekend nonetheless. If you follow me on Instagram, you will know why. Anyway, back to the outfit. You might remember me talking about the new e-shop 'in town' - it would be more correct to say on the World Wide web - called The Faubourg. Well here is another piece from there, the lovely leo skirt from the brand Passé Composé this time. ANyway, if you haven't yet, it is definitely worth a look.

Well winter is definitely here (happy Thanksgiving to all my US readers by the way) and well I thought this would be the perfect time to share with you some of my winter essentials - nothing ground breaking of course. Warning, I woke up in quite the satirical mood.

Right at the top of the list are those warm chunky knits. You know the ones you can't wear under your coats as their are, well, just too chunky, that loose all their fluff which then gets tangled and stuck in your eyelashes, making you blind for the entire day. If you are lucky and have the right kind of chunky knit it should feel as if it were made out of brillo pads. Yep those are the knits I am talking about. Then we have the Fedora, so much more chic than your traditional beanie, it definitely won't keep you warm and will fly off with at the first sign of wind but oh so stylish. It's winter, it's dark and cold so a pop of colour is never a bad thing. Plus, you can pretent to be that rather annoyingly cheerful person. Next the high boots - otherwise know as OTK boots in the fashion jargon - those boots that only the 'fash pack' see as uber stylish while the rest of the world wonders what your 'other' job is. Best stay away from public transport while sporting this look or over-sensitive parents. There is also the 'oversized' coat, clearly the new 'it child' of the season and the coat you just can never seem to master. Do you buy it in your size or two sizes bigger? Is three such a thing as too oversized? Then there is what is know as 'winter whites'. Nope it doesn't entail that someone has found the formula to keeping clothes white, weel just that; white. It's just the fashionable term for wearing white in winter and calling it 'on trend'. Because god knows, I can't keep white clothes white in summer  how will it be any different in winter. If you had too many problems figuring out the oversized coat trend then maybe you will have better luck with the hooded coat. You would have thought that over so many years, the mastering of the perfect hood would have been complete. Sadly, we are still faced with the dilemme of the perfect hood - one that is neither too small making you look like a 6 year old or too big making walking a whole new challenge in itself. Then there are the prints. Two prints in particular - stripes and plaid - seem to creep back every season and we all talk about the trend as if it were an innovation in itself and as if it were the first time we laid eyes on such a master piece.

Those are the winter essentials you can always count on and count on them coming back every season to haunt us. Have a wonderful day.
