Whether you wear jeans a lot or hardly ever, every body needs a great pair of black skinny jeans in their wardrobe. I'm not a fan of the bog standard blue denim, I find everything looks way too casual when I wear them but I love black denim! The beauty of black skinny jeans is that they can be dressed up and down so easily, throw on a jumper and Converse for a casual look or a statement top and sharp jacket for something sophisticated. I've been in desperate need for a new pair for ages and when I found this pair of from Next for a mere £24 I was blown away. They fit really well and the denim is a really good quality. Some high street jeans are so cheap and loose shape and colour after only a few washes but I think this pair will stand the test of time.

I also picked up the cute Christmas style snood from Next. I love the print and it'll be perfect for my holiday to Iceland next month. My favourite thing about this particular snood is the size, it's smaller than my other ones which means it perfect for this autumn to winter transitional period when it isn't quite freezing yet.

Can you see the faint tint of pink in my hair? I had my bleach redone on Saturday (shocker, I'm not actually this blonde naturally as people seem to think at work) and decided to have some pink toner added instead of my usual ash one. I actually tried to dye my hair like this a few weeks ago after becoming obsessed with Melon Lady on YouTube but it came out after one wash. The problem with bleached hair is that colour doesn't stick to it well so I imagine the pink will be gone by the weekend so I might try and do it myself again.

  6. love the hint of pink in your hair. I don't have any black skinny jeans! Might try some cheap ones in New Look this winter to see if I like them, just getting into the whole trouser wearing thing. Going to Byron before I see Our Boys this weekend by the way ;) xx

  10. I'm wearing black skinny jeans from Next right now. I've had mine a few months now, and I'm happy to report that they do indeed hold their shape rather nicely. They're still black too, rather than that dingy grey black jeans always seem to go.

  11. Those boot! Amazing :o) I like the versatility of a black jean too, mine at the moment are Levi's curve ID's - kinda love them

  12. I really, really need to buy a pair of black skinnies actually, how I don't already own a pair is ridiculous! And I adore the pinkiness of your hair now - it suits you (: xxx ps, I've been meaning to apologise for SO LONG about not coming to see you at fashion week in the glam media lounge - I couldn't find it! I hope you didn't think I was rude (I was just a massive idiot instead...)
