Lookback at 2012

I can't believe today is December 31st! 2012 has been one busy year and I'll be sad to see it go! It's been a tough year within my family with members being unwell but luckily, everything seems better now! I've had a bit of a blogging revaluation- my 48 posts have been filled with fashion, gossip and some truely random rubbish! So here is my review of Blogging in 2k12.

Favorite Outfits
I've done numerous outfit posts and here are some of my most loved:

New Purchases

Over the past week or so, I've bought a few more things to add to my ever-growing wardrobe and I thought I'd share them with you!
Grey Jumper from Primark- £8
Khaki Jeans from River Island- 30
Dark Green Top from International- £7.99
Burgundy Top from International- £7.99
*2 for £10
Black Wedges from New Look- £19.99
Burgundy Bobble Hat from Miso, Republic- £10

   
                           
This jumper is gorgeous and incredibly cheap at £8. This Primark jumper has a high slit-neck so sits comfortably on your shoulders. Oversize and very comfy, this jumper is perfect for a casual winter day and can be dressed up smart as well!

You can check out pictures of these on the other items! I love the colour of these jeans and they are incredibly versatile and can be worn throughout the year; the studs on the pockets add extra sparkle and look fab!  The jeans are comfy but as they are super skinny, I recommend you buy a size bigger than usual! 


  
These tops are perfect for throwing on under hoodies or just on chill days. They are £7.99 each or 2 for £10, which it good value! The thin material and long sleeves are warm and comfy.


 
These shoes are a bargain and perfect footwear for the festive season! I love the gentle wedge and little zip down the side. They don't hurt your feet and look fab with everything- score! I'm usually a size 7 and bought these in a 7 but they are a tad too big but with 2 pairs of tights on they are fine!


I've never properly owned and worn a hat before and when I spotted this in Republic last week whilst shopping for a school trip to Berlin in February, I knew this was the perfect thing to get! It is unbelievably warm and the colour is gorgeous! The bobble adds another dimension to the hat and looks great!

Catch Up!

First ever proper post from Lipsticks and Lollipops yaay :-)

Hey Guys,
It feels like I haven't posted in ages...well that's because I haven't! 5 days without posts in not good and I really need to start posting more but school work is sadly taking over right now! Waay too much revision/Controlled Assessments going on!

Anyway, I just thought I'd give you a little update on my life...lucky you ;)

I'm going to attempt to do a blog photo post this weekend as I'm going on a shopping trip with my mum tomorrow to buy lots of things for a school trip to Berlin in February (I'm so excited!!) Hopefully this blog photo post will contain lots of woolly jumpers/cable knits, warm jeans and lovely accessories inc. scarfs, hats etc. BUT, I can't promise anything!

Until then, have a good weekend!
