Winter's-a-Comin'

Over the last week, it would seem that the temperature has seriously dropped! This leaves me longing for a few things: the warmth of my cosy feather pillows and duvet, a mug of hot chocolate.. but most of all it leaves me with a burning desire to go shopping for winter clothing.

For me, the best thing about winter is the clothes! There's nothing better than chunky knits, leather boots and luxurious coats.

I spent a while on the asos and topshop websites, picking out items I liked, but I just kept coming back to chunky knitted sweaters!

As mentioned in my previous post, I recently paid a visit to Edinburgh's Grassmarket. This was mainly in pursuit of some seriously old fashioned knitted sweaters - which I have become rather obssessed with of late. Trying to avoid Topshop's range of knitwear, and at the risk of walking through uni and spotting everyone wearing the same jumper - I opted to go vintage.

So, after roughly 10 minutes in Armstrong's I walked out with 2 (what I think are) great finds. The first item I picked up was a lovely little cream lambswool sweater adorned with cream sequins, for a complete bargain price of £24, and then this massive oversized blue chunky knit sweater from the 80's, priced at £14. I absolutely love them both - I'm glad I went vintage :-)
