Baby it's Cold Outside . . .

So everyone at the moment has been some what impacted by the snow this week and with more set to arrive imminently lets think about how to keep warm.

Here are a couple of things I would recommend to keep warm, if you don't already know high street brand Uniqlo have a fab range of heat tech pieces. My boyfriend kindly ran out to get me some when I went to New York and it had been snowing heavily and I was not prepared and they helped me survive the weekend!

They have a variety of styles and colours so are really worth investing in, here are a couple of my favourites:

£12.90

£4.90 in the sale

£12.90

For some EXTRA warmth they also have the below styles:

£14.90

£9.90 in the sale

£14.90

Primark if you can get there also have a great range of leggings called Cosy I bought a pair the other week and boy and I glad, they live up to their cosy name. I think they were maybe a £5 if not slightly more but totally worth it if you like black leggings like me.

Finally if in doubt listen to your Mum as I did, I nearly left home earlier this week with a pair of canvas shoes and no gloves or scarf, boy am I happy my mum told me off and made me go and get my snowboots!

Hope you are all keeping safe and warm!
