I will remember this year as the year I learnt the power of the Christmas jumper. You honestly have more fun just by wearing one, and, if you've got your hands on a particularly good number, it's a great conversation starter. I bagged this American retro knit for £15 at the East End Thrift Shop a couple of weeks back and am dreading when I have to pack it away- I'm really going to miss these kittens! 

So, no matter if you decide to sport a Fair Isle number, an American vintage pullover or a novelty elf/reindeer/Santa/snowman onsie, like many fashion articles have stated in these past couple of months, you will wear a Christmas jumper and you will enjoy it.

Meanwhile, have a very merry- and necessarily cheesy- Christmas!

Photo Shoot at Vanity Studios

I spent yesterday at the Vanity Studios, just off Oxford street in London. They are a professional photographic studio, where you get a makeover (make-up, hair and nails) and then a shoot in four different outfits.

For my nails I chose a dark red shade and a complimenting lip colour. I then had thick black eye-liner and had my hair styled into messy curls.

Out of my four looks, my last one was by far my favourite. They have a fun feel to them and a vintage theme, with retro wallpaper in the background and the dark leather sofa that I sat on. I also posed with my Diana F+ camera for a couple of the shots...
