BLOGMAS 2018 / Day 9 – weekly fashion faves, 6
So, I've noticed two things about fashion this week: 1- Not a lot of people are embracing what I'd call 'festive fashion' this year - flutter, sequins, velvet. Not a criticism, merely an observation. 2- I'm gravitating towards black and print more than ever before.

BLOGMAS day 21: The cosiest hand-made scarf of dreams
