What I love about this outfit are it's subtle nuances, like the different shades of blue, or the different ways the jacket can be worn, taking it from peacoat to biker jacket, or the way the collar tips align perfectly with the squared neck on the jumper.

Normally at this point of the year, people my age are praying for snow every night and groaning every morning because we have another college day, but nevertheless, this year we've experienced a scandinavian winter because of something to do with the North Atlantic Jet Stream (I have no idea if I'm honest), making for some nice winter outfit photos and six day long weekend.

STYLE// Winter Wishlist

I really don't know what draws me to the first item, but I just am so it's a bit of an indulgence really, I'll probably never wear it. The other items are pretty much within my usual aesthetic, I've been after a decent pair of leather boots for a while, my bargain suede H&M one's are barely holding together at this point although for the price they've lasted surprisingly well. I'm often drawn to blues and blacks at this time of the year and am really loving the Matte & Sheen trend for Winter 2012 which is why I like the two Jumpers. The black jeans have been a long time coming, I have a pair already but they fit awfully, have faded slightly, are just overall bad quality, I wouldn't recommend them, they are stretch skinny ones from Topman, the ones I want that are pictured above are Cheap Monday, so should hopefully fare better.

There aren't many white spaces in my house except for my room, which I kid you not has about 2 foot room on one side of the bed which today formed a tiny little studio, so forgive me for the fact I don't have a head-to-toe image. Anyway I digress, this is my outfit today, quite casual but it is sunday.

Topman Fall/Winter 2012 Lookbook

Every single season since its launch, I watch the Topman Design show and am usually in awe of what I see but at the same time bitter because the prices are a little too steep for my budget. Which is why I am very happy to say that Topman have incorporated the design aesthetic of the Topman Design range into  their main range this winter, which can be seen below...
