Recently I've been experimenting with layers, not just because it's too cold to function in Lancashire right now, but because I'm super inspired by the whole blogging community! There's nothing I love more than scrolling through Instagram, Bloglovin', or Pinterest and making notes of what winter essentials I need to stay with the trends, while also keeping super warm, now it's sadly hitting below 10 degrees. So Today I combined a few of last year's winter staples, with a few new season pieces like this Clothesminded faux fur gilet, and my super cute Tassle Jacket from CN Direct. I love how suede, faux fur and leather look together, and I think even for an all-black day come winter, mixing textures is a great way to experiment with your wardrobe while playing it safe.

There's tons of statement jackets to choose from at CN Direct this season, so make sure you sign up today and grab yourself a free £30 gift card!
