My favourite tweet of the year so far has got to be “when we put the clocks back, didn’t realise we put them back to the Ice Age - baltic!”. I agree with this on a spiritual level. I’m flipping freezing. Between 8 cups of tea and evening, a blanket and a hot water bottle, I still seem to be struggling to be warm. I’ve also always struggled to get past the hoodie-leggings-boots winter-wear combo and dress ‘nicely’ in the colder weather. I’m on a quest to have more fashionable colder weather options and look more feminine and chic; less bulky vagrant. So here’s my latest Femme Luxe Finery haul, but this time it’s a winter edit.
★★★★☆
First up is my first ever jumper dress! I went for a classic black over the grey and cream options. I had visions of myself throwing red wine or pasta sauce down the front of any other colour, so I’m playing it safe. But I do love the way this looks; I think it’s a little bit witchy styled with the hat and the belt!
It’s not the thickest of materials, but it’s so easy to wear literally any other dress underneath to layer up a little bit. I wore a long-sleeved jersey dress and felt super warm throughout the day I debuted it on a shopping trip. It’s the perfect length for me, but may be a bit short on anyone over 5’2”! The sleeves are perfect; slightly over-length which I love for the cooler months. This is such a casual throw-on piece that I know I’ll wear loads.

After falling in love with my last mesh-sleeved top from Femme Luxe Finery in my last haul, I decided I needed to build up my collection. I’m one of these who buy the same style in every colour once I find something I think suits me. I love a crop top with high-waisted jeans, and I guess this would be perfect for a night out during party season.
The scoop neck and oversized sleeves are soooo glamorous and so unusual, which is why I think it’s got so much charm. Granted, it’s not the warmest piece of clothing I could’ve chosen, but I think it’s exaggerated and feminine. The organza sleeves gather at the elbows and wrists with the world’s itchiest elastic, but who cares?! It looks absolutely fab.

Holy moley - I’m developing a bit of an obsession with these long coats. This must be my fourth one! This belted duster jacket is bloody ideal for me during this time of year; it can be dressed up for a night out or thrown on like a dressing-gown to get me in to work without getting frostbite. I love its simplicity more than anything and I think it could be worn with practically any outfit underneath.
It’s made of a felt-like material which isn’t hugely thick, but I don’t mind it. There’s nothing more minging than those too-hot-coat-sweats when you’re walking around and it’s freezing. It keeps you at the perfect temperature with a jumper underneath. It does build up a hell of a lot of static though, and I seem to be constantly zapping myself which I’m not madly in love with! But I just think it’s a classic piece to have and I really love how it gives an effortless feminine edge - all while keeping me cosy.
Again, a big big big thank-you to Femme Luxe Finery for gifting me these items! This is my fourth collaboration post with them, and to be honest, I’m kind of running out of stuff I think I’d pick from the website. The choice is mainly high-glam, hyper-feminine and insta-baddie inspired. The style is already a bit removed from my usual style which tends to be slightly more casual, grungy and low-maintenance. Meaning I’d be stepping a bit more out of my comfort zone for my next haul!
But with this being said, I get loads of compliments on my new clothes whenever I wear them, and people constantly ask where my new bits came from! I’m so happy [confused, but happy!] to be a #LuxeGal and always always look forward to the next collaboration. Loads of love to the team at Femme Luxe Finery for keeping me feminine and snuggly so far this winter. I particularly love the pieces in this haul!
Lots of love,
