Ain't nobody's business but mine & my scarf

This picture epitomises how i feel right now, COLD!!!!!!

England is cold, all kinds of COLD, and all i can think of is layering up and keeping warm. I have reinforcements in place to ward of this unwanted frost, big chunky scarfs & a big bad faux fur snood which will feature in posts to come.

This is the faux fur snood i purchased recently from Linea in House of Fraser, it is amazeballs, i love it, warm cosy & stylish, instantly upgrades your look....get the look HERE and even better it is now half price on their site, thank me later.

Anyway just thought i'd drop in quickly, say hi before i settle in with my cup of Tetley with evaporated milk & catch up on flashpoint on universal.

Etre A/W12

Etre's Autumn/Winter 2012 collection draws on the understated but characterful traditions of British workwear. It looks to the best time-tested solutions from the past, pioneering innovative solutions where history offers no blueprint. The collection thus includes traditional fishermen’s sweaters, knitted to a pattern familiar to generations of fishermen’s wives and customised with motifs originating in the centuries-old fishing communities of Polperro and Staithes, alongside the innovative Etre Touchy (http://www.etretouchy.com/) and FIVEPOINT gloves (http://www.fivepointgloves.com/), conceived specifically for use with mobile devices.

Each piece is lovingly crafted in the British Isles, using responsibly sourced, time-honoured British materials. Workwear jackets are fabricated from 100 percent Melton wool, manufactured by a 150-year-old family business in West Yorkshire. Gansey sweaters are knitted from the finest 5-ply worsted wool, spun and dyed in Yorkshire mills that have been turning out the same material for generations. Leather gloves are made by a family business established in 1944, now one of the last surviving British glove manufacturers. Satchels and holdalls, crafted from the same high quality Melton wool as the jackets, are fabricated by a small Cornish leatherwork company.

Timeless and durable, this is clothing in which to invest emotional energy, each carefully edited piece a component of a uniform for contemporary life that feels special and personal – British workwear for a new generation.

Etre items can be purchased from the following shops

Selfridges
Park & Bond (Gilt Groupe)

A/W Pick : Statement Necklaces

If there is a key item that should be part of everyone's A/W wardrobe this season, it is statement jewellery, and in this post i have decided to focus on necklaces.

I love jewellery and nothing takes an outfit to the next level like a statement necklace. If your having one of those days like i usually do, where I can't find anything to wear in my wardrobe but all black or neutral colours, a bold or bright coloured neck piece will instantly transform your look from drab to fab.

Here are few pieces i have picked out that i love, best of all from an affordability standpoint, there is something for everyone out there, from high street to designer, so you don't have to break the bank to get the trend.

Currently i have my eyes on a few pieces from MAWI, they make absolutely fabulous pieces, but for now my cravings can be satisfied with anyone of the pieces below which are all gorgeous.

What do you guys think?
