Christmas wouldn't be the same without a cosy, corny jumper! I've selected five of my favourite jumpers this year from across the high street. All the jumpers I have selected take a more classy approach on the cheesy Christmas jumper, making them far more wearable and slightly more socially acceptable than our tinsel-covered, light up, musical jumpers from Primark (not that I don't love an over-the-top Christmas jumper). 






H&M £19.99

This H&M jumper is brilliant for the holiday season! It's a beautiful crisp cream with a classic Christmas pattern. This jumper would look wonderful tucked into some jeans with a long smart winter coat and some biker boots. Pumpkin spice latte in hand and you'll be winning at Christmas! 


Urban Outfitters £46.00


Next up is this amazing Urban Outfitters sweater! What's great about this is you could definitely wear it November-February because rather than it being an obvious Christmas jumper it's more of a winter sweater. Paired with a black denim skirt and a aviator jacket this would be the perfect outfit for going to the ice rink!


Topshop £36.00


This Christmas jumper is cute and cosy- the perfect combination! If you're a fan of minimalist, B&W fashion I imagine it would be hard to find a Christmas jumper that fits the aesthetic but this definitely meets the brief! I personally wear a lot of colour, however, I do love this jumper. I think what's so nice about it is the actually cut and style of the jumper isn't compromised- it's still very stylish.


Monki £20.00

I love Monki's Christmas jumpers! Every year they come out with the same cut but different graphic Christmas prints. They're totally wearable but still really fun and unique- dancing Christmas tree's for God's sake! 

That's a wrap on my Christmas jumper review! If you enjoyed reading this there's plenty more Blogmas post's coming so keep an eye out on my twitter, @ alicerhodesblog, for when I post!

H&M £69.00, H&M £79.99, Primark £35.00, Zara £89.99, Primark £30.00
I personally feel you can never have too many winter coats. In fact, no matter how big a collection you can afford, there will always be an outfit that 'could just use a new coat'. I've hand picked five of my favourite coats this season that will add a stylish layer to any AW outfit. I think you can choose two routes with a winter coat, either keep it classy and timeless or allow it to be the statement of your outfit- either way the addition of a winter coat can really boost your style (whilst keeping you nice and toasty).

Both the Primark coats in my line up are a great example of keeping it classy. Starting with the one closest to the left, this timeless check coat will compliment both casual and formal winter outfits and would look charming with a nice scarf, hat and pair of gloves. The second Primark coat is classic in colour but more trend lead in style, the teddy bear coat has had a big revival in recent years and is both stylish and unbelievable snuggly! Paired with some biker boots, thick tights and a floral dress and this outfit will scream Autumn. 

Both the H&M coats I've picked out are beautiful faux fur pieces. Starting from the left, this gorgeous leopard print is a very tasteful take on the animal print trend and will look lovely over any autumn outfit. I'd personally style it with a dark turtle neck, some light denim straight leg jeans, statement boots and coordinating hat scarf and gloves (possibly in a more shocking accent colour). The second H&M faux coat is a lot more of a statement with a striking angular pattern and a unique colour palette. Although it would tie you down colour wise, I don't think it strays too far away from a traditional autumn colour palette meaning that it should still be easy too style regularly (which is something you should take into consideration when purchasing your winter coat!). I think it would be appropriate for casual and formal situations and would stand out amongst traditional fur coats.

Last but not least, the most expensive coat on the list is from Zara. It features a tiger print pattern in a dulled down colour palette that is both tasteful and fun. Like the other coats it would be simple to style in an AW wardrobe and is both smart and casual. This coat is trend lead using animal print as a focal point which is something to take into consideration, as it may not be a stylish in a few years time. However, if that doesn't concern you, it is a truly beautiful coat that won't just finish your outfit, it will make it!

That's it for winter coats, if you're wondering where the jackets are, a separate post is on its way soon! If you enjoyed reading this post please follow me on bloglovin and check out my twitter @ alicerhodesblog for updates on when I've posted.

& Other Stories £35.00, New Look £17.99, Zara £49.99, Zara £29.99, Topshop £29.00

The shops are stocked with party collections and one thing notable is that accessories of all natures have been reimagined. Made to amaze with intricate detailing, modern styles and unconventional materials. The handbag is no longer left to compliment the dress, it is a staple of the outfit. Sequins and glitter have been swapped out for rather more luxurious velvets and snake skins. Minimalism is celebrated with simplicity creating elegance yet decadence is obvious, with lavish embellishments and sophisticated nods to the art deco period. When shopping for a new party accessory this season, choose a bag that is an extension of your outfit's ambiance but uniquely beautiful when payed closer attention.

Winter can create challenges when it comes to styling outfits due to the unpredictable, but usually freezing, weather. Making sure your outfit is both practical and stylish is often difficult. One element I personally forget isn't just there for keeping me warm, and can in fact be a key feature of my outfit, is hats, scarfs and gloves! 

I'll be the first to admit my collection consists of a black knit hat with a faux fur pom pom, a pair of grey gloves from Morrisons and a neutral check scarf from M&S. It's very simple, practical and although not at all unstylish, there was hardly a conscious decision to purchase a stylish set that adds depth and interest to my outfit.

Therefore, as one of my Blogmas posts this year, I've decided to write a 'best on the highstreet' for hats, scarves and gloves! Below I have created five sets that range from comfy streetwear to more formal pieces perfect for looking glamorous and warm!

Topshop Hat £14.00, Urban Outfitters Gloves £15.00, Topshop Scarf £26.00


This is certainly one of the more glamorous looks on the post. The colours I've opted for have rich hues that create an elegant ambiance, this is complimented by the contrast of the faux fur beret and luxurious velvet scarf.

Urban Outfitters Scarf £26.00, Urban Outfitters Gloves £16.00, Urban Outfitters Hat £16.00

Together these three pieces are playful and youthful. I can almost envision Kevin McCallister wearing this set- it has old-fashioned, vintage vibes written all over it. You wont fail to feel warm wearing these chunky knit pieces and they'd look perfect on a winter walk in the woods.

Urban Outfitters Hat £16.00, Zara  Scarf £25.99, Zara Gloves £29.99

This look is very trend lead with the leopard print scarf being the main feature. I think the deep maroons and greens are very classy, sophisticated colours that compliment the more stylised shape of the beret. Overall, this look is perfect for styling up and down! 


Topshop Hat £14.00, Zara Scarf £25.99, Urban Outfitters Gloves £15.00


I wanted to throw a look with vibrant colours into the mix because I do enjoy wearing a pop of colour in the winter months. This set oozes energy with bright colours and the miss match patterns. Overall it's wonderfully fun and would most certainly stand out in a crowd.


Zara Scarf £17.99, Urban Outfitters Gloves £15.00, Zara Hat £17.99

This final look give's me a very 'London Chic' vibe. I think we all own a baker boy hat from summer and the scarf and gloves are timeless pieces that can be found just about anywhere- its easy to recreate and will look effortlessly stylish on.

There's my favourite pieces this season, leave me a comment on what you'd like to read next and tell me which set is your favourite! Thanks for reading, my other links are listed below! Happy Blogmas!
