standupforstyle: WINTER. ♥

Brrrrrrrrrr. I'm so glad it’s nearly Christmas, and my birthday –hiphiphoorraaay :). Gosh, I'm ever so sorry for not posting for such a long time; everything has just been piling up - coursework, tests, revision and worst of all: Art homeworks, which usually take 5 hours to complete. Anyway, I managed to do some winter shopping. I had a good look around the high street stores and was really happy to find that knitted Fair Isle jumpers are back! I love them. Apart from being much more attractive than plain jumpers, FairIsle, which is a traditional knitting technique, is named after Fair Isle, a tiny island in the north of Scotland – the hint of Scottish heritage makes it much more interesting. I’ve done a little bit of investigation and found some superduper ones, here are my top 3 - Take a look below :)

3: Topshop:£36.00

Fair Isle jumper – Primark, Denim Jacket – Primark, Jeggins- New Look

Fair Isle jumpers seem to be more popular than ever. I bought one for myself and I’m ever so attached to it. So far I’ve worn it with trousers, jeggins, a tight skirt, a denim jacket, a dark green coat and a black coat and it looked great - which just show that it goes with everything. Sometimes the Fair Isle jumper is referred to as the Christmas jumper, because it’s usually worn around the chilly Christmas period, and it does really get you into the festive mood.

Love, Starbucks.

Also, I just wanted to say how much I love this song by Alex Winston. I’m so glad I discovered her, thanks to the Hyundai ix20 Advert which featured one of her songs – Choice Notes. I’ve checked out more of her songs and now I’m addicted. I don’t usually listen to that kind of music, so it was nice to discover something different. She’s got quite an unique and quirky voice – a bit like Marmite, either love it or hate it. Fortunately, I LOVE IT. Medicine is my favorite song, by far. It’s such a feel good, summery song - makes you feel kind of warm inside – great to listen to during the dark, cold, winter days.
