A few of us on the blog roll have been a tiny bit sick of late. Im currently down and out with a cold, so I just wanted to quickly talk about whether we have to sacrifice fashion in order to get better!?

My Answer, you guessed it, NO!

Feeling fashionable and stylish helps me to feel better. As much as I adore my jim jams, sometimes getting up and getting dressed is just what the Dr ordered…

Of course, you have to make sure you’re very warm (which I have, I’m wandering around my office in a freaking beanie and scarf)… Here is a quick set. It may or may not be good, I’m to drugged up to tell you, honestly!

What are your quick tips for getting better!? Share below, we could certainly use them!!!

As I’m sitting here warming up my hands with a huge cup of tea I read an email from our lovely Bec suggesting we do a post today on our Winter coat picks, what a perfect idea Bec!

I’m not sure about the rest of Australia but Sydney has had some rather darn cool days and nights recently. It’s currently about 15 degrees but my goodness it feels about 5 degrees at the moment.

So lets talk our Winter picks!

Winter Essentials – Part 2

As some of you may have picked up, I’m a bit of a scarf whore! I own a gazillion of them. They come in a shapes, sizes and styles and can easily be folder special ways to suit whatever outfit you may be wearing.

If I had the time I would should you a few techniques on how to tie a scarf but it is easier to check out this fabulous website: http://www.scarves.net/how-to-tie-a-scarf/ for a few ideas.

Mean time, I’ll show you how to style 3 different types that will keep you warm but looking SCHWEET!

Snood Styling by littlemisspopit featuring Sartore ankle booties

The Snood: No, it isn’t a character from Dr Who, it’s a style of scarf the is sure to keep you super warm during winter! It is like a never ending knot, just plop it on with any old outfit and ladies and gentlemen, you’re warm AND stylish! 😉

 

 

Cat On The Mind! by littlemisspopit featuring Gastone Lucioli pumps

The Handkerchief (may not be the proper term): I designed this set with the gorgeous Cat on the mind. It is a bit girly for me but just another example of how to style a scarf for winter!!!

 

KISS! by littlemisspopit featuring necklaces

KISS! At the end of the day, keeping it simple is the key! Simple jeans and shirt, simple blazer (okay, this is an Alexander McQueen valued at almost $2000, so, not that simple) and you’re off!

Moisturiser:

Who is guilty or foregoing their moisturising routine?

I know I am, especially in winter! Who the hell wants to apply cold moisturiser in the middle of a cold, wet, rainy day?

However, in saying that, it is so important that you do keep up your routine. Skin dries out quicker during winter, so it is important to keep your routine going steady. I find a quick moisturising session just before I jump into a warm bed is the best way, you’re only cold for a second or two! Moisturise your WHOLE body (face, arms, décolletage, stomach, hips, buttocks, thighs, calves, feet!) and you will find when summer comes around you’ll find your as silky smooth as last summer.

I use:

Lovely Jubblies for my Décolletage: This cream is amazing! It makes my skin silky smooth, evens out my stretch marks and keeps the girls sweet and perky!

 

Bio Oil: Speaks for itself! Amazing! Miracles are made with this oil. Makes my skin silky smooth while helping to fade scars and cellulite!

 

Nivea: and for the rest of me, good old fashioned Nivea does the job! Not to oily this is perfect and leaves you without that greasy feeling!

So now that I have shared my winter essentials, tell us what you think! What are you winter must haves?
