Scarlet woman 😘

 Ladies we all have a little scarlet in us, unleash her this festive season, and keep her out.

Red as a colour in fashion for some women feels a little risky, it's very full on and a strong vibrant colour, although it's always been very prominent in style and fashion, every item from the Chanel quilted bag to MAC cosmetics coveted MAC red lipstick has sported the shade. 

Have you ever walked by the make up counter, picked up the red matte lipstick and thought 'wow, I wish I could wear that' and put it back for a subtle nude colour? Well my fashionistas it's time to take that red lipstick to the counter and buy it!

'Walking in a chic wonderland'.....

There's an important date in December for every fashionistas calendar, not the big one on the 25th, I'm talking about 13/12 also known as Christmas jumper day! 

Do you remember being a kid and getting that knitted jumper from your relatives that you wore all Christmas Day. Well Christmas jumpers have came back around and can be quite on trend and chic, they range from the fairaisle small print ones, to the flashy quirky reindeer ones. 

This blog post is dedicated to my mother who loves Christmas, from her sparkly santa earrings, to her quirky jumpers.

I say embrace the trend, grab yourself a jumper, a cup of hot chocolate from Starbucks and go walking through the frosty air and take in the smells and sights of Christmas in glasgow. 

Only the chic way of course ;) 

Here's a few of my favourite jumpers on the high street at the moment, there's something for everyone no matter your taste or price range......

Off Peak Chic

Chic by definition means 'elegantly and stylishly fashionable', now I'd love to believe that while lounging about in my jogging trousers and oversized tee looking after my little girl I epitomise that definition?! 

However we all have our days where we stay in and watch tv, do our housework and chill out. Now if like me does it come to the weekend and you splash out, dig out your best dress, accessorize it to the hilt and grab your biggest clutch, all for lunch with the girlies. Why should glam and chic stay indoors for the weekend? 

I'm all for being comfortable, but I love to look effortlessly chic if I can my lovelies, so therefore I try to encompass 'off peak chic'. 

It's a Tuesday, you've been asked to an impromptu lunch with your best girlies, joggers and a tee? Why not? Here's the off peak way to do it ;)
