Keeping it Cropped with Hannah Dorman

Jumper: New Look
Trousers: TopShop
Boots: New Look

It's cold now. Like really cold. So this is a weird moment to be promoting cropped trousers...but nevertheless that's what I'm about to do. Apologies to the lovely Hannah Dorman, who had to endure a whole day of freezing ankles during our shoot; but it was clearly all worth it, because she looks great.

My favourite trend at the moment is the cropped cigarette trouser paired with an oversized knitwear piece and chunky boots. It's easy to throw on, looks pretty cool and at least your top half will be warm...I'd seriously recommend investing in some thick socks for this one. If you don't mind risking numb ankles, this might just be the look for you. It works really well with big winter coats, so that's a bonus!

And just a quick shameless plug - if you like the above photography (or any shots from my other posts) and are in need of a photographer, please feel free to get in touch. You can message me through my Facebook Page, get me on Twitter/Instagram or email Basementeleven@gmail.com.

All that Glitters

Jumper: Mink Pink for Urban Outfitters
Necklace: TopShop
Jeans: TopShop

Top: TopShop
Shoes: Vagabond for Urban Outfitters
Hat: Urban Outfitters

Massive thanks to Kimberley Edwards for helping me with these pictures. It's so nice to not be relying on self timer in my back garden, feeling the judgemental gaze of my neighbours as they wonder what on earth I'm actually doing.

Anyway, this post is focusing on clothes that sparkle. We're starting to enter into the party season, so, naturally, sequins, glitter, silver, gold etc etc are making a firm annual comeback. However, it seems that this year, even casual wear has become subject to the party vibe. There is glitter everywhere.

I have to say, I love it. I think it makes what otherwise could've been a relatively simple outfit that extra bit vibrant, but doesn't take away from a casual look. The tops in the pictures above are two of my favourite buys this year, particularly the Mink Pink cropped jumper. It's so fluffy and cosy! It's also in the Urban Outfitters sale...in case you needed an extra incentive

I've never been into excessive glitter, even for evening wear and nights out...but recently I have definitely started warming to the style. I think when paired with something basic, like jeans or some plain leggings, it looks lush, but maybe I'm not being adventurous enough. I love this dress from Motel Rocks, but I just don't know if I'd ever have the guts to wear it!

But all the sequins are a definite signifier that the Christmas season is soon to arrive...(it's definitely still too early) so maybe it is time to embrace the glitter. I reckon I should revive this little number, I haven't exactly grown much...

Fabulous.
