desire of the unattainable

Are you sick of being down in the dumps? Get rid of those 'winter blues' by taking note of these 5 must-haves to help you get through the long cold days and nights.

1. Fashion - Knitwear is massive this winter and will definitely keep you warm through the day and night. Oversized, chunky, textured cardigans and jackets are a wardrobe must.
2. Shoes - Guys, boots have made a return. On a recent trip to Sydney i fell in love with these superb leather boots which i wear all the time now. They can be worn with skinny-leg jeans, or oversize pants and tucked into the boot. Girls, grab yourself a pair of clogs. If you haven't already made your mind up whether you're a fan or not, then listen to this. At first when one of my girlfriend's said she was purchasing a pair of clogs i laughed in her face. I couldn't understand as to why clogs were 'in'. After being dragged along to Gorman, i finally understood why females are going crazy for clogs. What a genius idea to transform the typical clog to a style with straps and studs etc. Clogs are chic, they are a must, whether they're worn with knee-length socks, stockings, bare legged, pants, skirts, or dresses.
3. Accessories - Winter accessories are my one true love. Adding that extra item can either make or break an outfit. Chunky, knitted, oversized scarves are one of my must haves this winter/spring. When are beanies not 'in'? Not only do they keep your head warm, but they look great on girls and guys. There are so many styles, colors and patterns around. Fingerless gloves are no longer the shabby look, they keep your fingers toasty while giving your outfit a chic yet casual feel.
4. Beauty - Nude lips are fresh and a necessity for guys and girls. Guys, try Blistex Lip Ointment which conditions and prevents cracked lips, while also taking away redness to create a nude look. Girls, try out MAC Cosmetics Lip Conditioner.
5. Homewears - Recently a friend bought me a Diptyque candle. Diptyque was founded in 1961 Pairs, by three friends. The sent of Black-current and Romanian Rose fills my room constantly. These candles are to die for.
