Today I thought I'd share with you a little winter shopping I did recently whilst on the hunt for a new winter coat.  As you'll be able to tell I'm loving New Look's winter collection at the moment, they have some really nice pieces.

Coat, £54.99 - New Look

There are so many nice checked coats around at the moment and I have browsed many online as well as tried several on in store.  Now if I'm being honest, I remember seeing this coat online and it never really caught my attention, however when I saw it in store I fell in love with it instantly.  It is a lovely soft wool and so cosy, and I love the navy and green tartan for winter.  If you were to get this coat though I'd definitely suggest down-sizing as it is very oversized, even in a smaller size it is quite big on me but I quite like the oversized look.  Must be fairly popular though, as it seems that it is already sold out online.

Skirt, £19.99 - New Look

Sandals, £22.99 - New Look

Sticking with the tartan theme I also bought this lovely black and white brushed wool effect skirt.  I think it'll look great for winter with a turtle neck, thick tights and boots.  Now I know it's a little cold for sandals but if there's one thing that was missing from my wardrobe it's a pair of simple black sandals.  I like that these have a thicker strap and a chunkier heel than your typical pair of strappy black sandals.  I have not had them long and have already worn them several times as they go with everything, so I can see myself getting a lot of wear out of these.

Jumper, £22.99 - New Look

After getting over my fear of pink in this post I thought I'd a little bit of colour to my wardrobe this winter, as pastel pinks and blues are everywhere this season.  I love this little fluffy jumper, with it's embellished neckline it is great for jazzing up a simple pair of jeans or trousers.  I also like that it has short sleeves because I find that I can get a little too hot in long sleeved jumpers sometimes, even though I love how cosy they are when everywhere has heaters on it can be just a little too warm and uncomfortable sometimes.

Dress, £14.99 - H&M

I love this simple black and white checked dress, it is quite thin for winter but add a pair of tights and a nice big cosy cardigan it is just perfect for throwing on with little effort.  

Faux Leather Trousers, £14.99 - H&M

The second item I got from H&M was these faux leather trousers.  The first thing that drew me to them was the colour.  I'm loving this deep burgundy colour for winter and will make a nice change from black leather.  As far as leather trousers go they are pretty comfy and seem pretty good quality for the price.

Boots, £15 - Primark

Finally I bought myself a new pair of boots.  If I had my way, and the budget, I'd have a wardrobe full of boots.  They are one of my favourite things to shop for.  I love this grey suede pair from Primark, not only are they really comfy but an absolute bargain too.

What have you been buying for the winter season?

Understanding Boots, £85 - Office

I had been eyeing up the burgundy version of these boots for a while now, and as much as I loved them I decided that black would be more practical.  Also, I was in desperate need of some new black boots for the winter.  It is an understatement to say that I am in love with these boots, they are a great all rounder.  They have a nice sized chunky heel which make them casual and comfy enough for the day time but just enough height to be able to dress them up for the night time.  They are also bang on trend with their buckled cut out sides.  The first time I wore these boots I was expecting a little pinch or rubbing, but as the leather isn't too stiff they did not hurt my feet at all and there is no need to break them in, which is an added bonus.

I can easily see these boots being one of my wardrobe staples this winter.  They are so easy to wear and will go with practically anything.
