NINE more weeks till Christmas day, holy smokes! Girlfriends we need to get ready. Ok so if your like me and seem to always leave everything to the last minute when it comes to Christmas, even if you prematurely promise to yourself that you won't. Somehow it always happens, when it comes to buying gifts, wrapping gifts, and buying festivity frocks (which I never have any money left for). So I think October (well it is November tomorrow but hey) is a good time to prepare or just have it there in the back of your mind, you know just so we are thinking about it. Gift / Present wise I shall cover maybe  four more weeks down the line, but for now lets think about 'What To Wear' and to help us Boohoo have only gone at got it covered with a Christmas Collection.

So Boohoo have got it all to make sure we look effortlessly fabulous this season, with their gorgeous Christmas collection which will be sure to dazzle not only your eyes but every one in sight around the festive season. Here are just a few of my favourite pieces that are to hit the online store very soon. As you can see all things sparkle and glam are definitely in my books this Christmas, I love the sassiness of the fluffy trims and luxe shine fabric finishes. Keeping it classy with long lengths and wide leg trousers but adding just enough ooh lala with deep v neck plunges and cut out panelling. Boohoo's Christmas collection is just simply gorgeous it is almost impossible to choose from the range, but it is safe to say there is definitely a look for every festive occasion here. So see your 2014 out in style in with Boohoo.

Knitwear has to be my favourite thing about Autumn/Winter (that is as well as boots, coats and scarves. Ok I have a lot of favourite things). I think the thing I love about winter clothes so much is that everything you purchase is such a good investment, and your favourite pieces will see you through one winter and possibly more special if it is a good quality coat or jumper. So I guess I can admit that I spend more on my winter clothes than I do any other season because one it just so happens I can buy all my favourite things and two they are all good future investments.

So today is all about knitwear and I have chosen Zara for my favourite knitwear picks, because if you know me then you'll know I am a bit of a knitwear fanatic and have a love for a good jumper or two and Zara knitwear in my experience in exceptional for style, quality, price and care. Not only do they produce stunning pieces that look great on the hanger and self, they wash great too. I don't know about you but I have had a many past experiences of buying a knitted jumpers at £40+ then putting it through its first wash (at what is recommended on the label) to come back either shrunk, deformed, dull, or bobbly. There is nothing worse than pulling your clothes out the washing machine to find they are destroyed. But I have found that my Zara knits tend to hold up well. 

Above are my top picks for this AW ranging from bold brights, to soft neutrals. Zara have got it all this season from chunky to soft fitted styles, fur textures and tie back details, to long lengths and cropped sleeves. I would love to hear what your favourites are and whether you love Zara knitwear too. p.s am I allowed to be a little sad that I won't be purchasing any new knitwear for a while.

My second Autumn / Winter wardrobe hit is all boots, and ASOS Boots to be exact. I think the boot department is definitely my favourite of AW and I'd probably say that I would get through at least three pairs of boots an autumn and winter, maybe four pairs if I got any for Christmas. However I'm a massive hoarder so it is more than likely my collection just grows instead of me replenishing whats needed to get rid of. Once I hung on to a pair of boots that had a hole in the bottom just because I loved them so much, I think it was my mum who ended up throwing them away so I wouldn't wear them anymore, but that's another story.

So there are a lot of boots I'm LOVING this season and well ASOS being my favourite go to when needing/looking for any shoes because they always have such a massive range and they also sell other stores and brands, so they are the perfect go to if ever stuck with finding the perfect shoes. Not all that is listed belongs to ASOS's range there are a few that slipped in but are too gorgeous to ignore. However I find ASOS's range is always so reasonable priced and for leather too which is amazing because to get through winter you'll definitely need a good leather boot.

I love all these that I have featured here but if I was to pick a definite MUST HAVE, it would have to be number 11 the 'Riley Pointed Loafer Ankle Boots' I am loving the whole pointed toe boot and shoe look atm, I think it adds a more sophisticated/glam look to a normal chunky boot or flat shoe. However I also really love number 4 the 'Estate Ankle Boots' just for the block high heel, such a killer this season.

p.s I'm jealous of all y'all buying these AW dreams. Do let me know which are your favs? 

1. Faux Fur Throw on Patch Work Coat £89.00

Serious Autumn envy going on right now. Just look at all these beautiful coats and I can't even consider purchasing one of them, maybe.. I could and have them waiting for at home for when I return to the UK. No that would just be ridiculous Kirsty, just stick to sharing them with your fellow bloggers. Ok! 

So to suppress my inner needs I will be creating a collective of AW listing and lusting and lovings over the next couple of weeks, only so I have an excuse to window shop all my favourite things and lucky for you Ima share them with ya. I know I know me so kind. LOL

So to kick things off, Topshop and their dreamy, delicious coats. I am loving this whole 'throw on' trend at the moment, like since when did we need buttons and zips anyway. Just throw it on and go - this my friends is genius. Also again everything is big, chunky and oversized which I absolutely LOVE and look for in probably everything when it comes to my winter clothes. A personal favourite has to be number one, the Faux Fur Patch Work Coat the colours and tones are to die for, gardd if any of you have or purchase this in the near future SEND me pictures (so I can cry) I want to see this beauty all winter. 

So with London Fashion Week over for another season. I thought it would be a good time to put together a post sharing with you guys my full graduate collection. I studied BA Fashion Textile at Middlesex University, graduating last summer so this post is probably long overdue, however since leaving university I haven't really had time to reflect and look back on the last 3 years as I went straight into a temp job to save for travelling. However I am now here in Thailand with all the time in the world to reflect and well plan for the future.  

I had studied fashion since GCSE it being the only subject I was interested in and well soon to learn my passion, I continued to study all the way to degree level. So when it came to creating and designing what was to be my graduate collection it was a very surreal time and I wanted to create a collection that I would love and always look back on and be proud. Specialising in knitwear I chose to knit my entire collection and believe me when I say my life and soul went into those 6 looks. I have never worked so hard before in my life and by the end I was psychically and emotionally exhausted. However it was all worth it and would I do it again. Most definitely it was the best experience of my life, when I look back I find it so hard to believe that I managed to do it, the sleepless nights and the early morning starts seriously it was all such a blur at the time, but it was the most fun I have ever had AND the feeling when you finish and see your work walk down the runway, my god you just crumble aha.  I cried both times. 

Today's post is a little AW lusting list all from the fabulous Missguided. I was going to do a mixed online wish list however it was becoming far to big, so I thought I would just stick to one brand/company at a time. Surprise surprise Missguided were my main culprit, garddd they have so many things I want! BUT this year I will not be able to fulfil my Wintery dreams with such lovely things as I will still be in Thailand AND as amazing as it is to have the opportunity to live in my bikini for a whole year (I'm not complaining), I do love my AW wardrobe it is my favourite. As much of a sun worshiper I am for me nothing beats a new bobble hat, cosy jumper and chunky boots. 

SO I will admit that I am a little jealous that you guys are all starting to prepare your Autumn and Winter fashions and stocking up on all wonderful layering and snuggly goodies. I can't help but keep oohing and cooing at instagram every time I see a new pair of boots or a new beautiful oversized coat. I do love seeing what you guys have bought so I am super looking forward to seeing your soon to become AW outfit posts and other blog things.

I hope you like this kind of post, I used to have wish lists feature on here quite a lot, I find them quite fun to put together (more fun if you don't manage to delete them) and I do like to share what I am currently loving. Let me know if you love anything I have featured in this wish list or if you have already purchased anything from it. So I can cry! No joking but do let me know and also pop any links in the comments below if you have created any AW wish list on your blog so I can have a nosy. Speak soon xo
