Day 25 So today's finally the BIG DAY! Christmas Woo!! I hope everyone had a wonderful day full of Christmas cheer weather they be in Australia or the uk ! I spent my day with my boyfriends family, they took me in and feed me and shares Christmas joy with me. Now presents were awesome Santa came for me so I'd been a good girl this year! (Yes!) I also got treated by my boyfriend to some wonderful gifts too :3 he got me a leather jacket so I expect you will see that next year ! I wore a few things today as I started off in more PJ clothing for the morning. Yoda tshirt - Primark Tracky Dacks - size M Blackmilk Then when I got much colder I ended up in my awesome Christmas gift to myself Teal Galaxy Snuggle Suit - Size M Blackmilk Other than that I have been wearing socks and my Christmas jumper ! But I now have a Manshark as I got him some wonderful Blackmilk for Christmas hehe ( totally going to end up borrowing it ;) ) So here's a sneak peek into what we have planned for the guys next year ! Blackmilk sizing for men ! Red Tartan Touchdown - Size S Blackmilk I am stuffed from a beautifully cooked Christmas dinner and I am off to drink and enjoy what's left of Christmas! So please enjoy yourself and again Merry Christmas to you all ! Ruth

Day 24! Christmas Eve! Now Lily is off abroad on sunny holiday and it's already Christmas for her the lucky girl! But she did prepare a lovely little post for us before she left! Enjoy girls! As you have probably guessed by now, I am not the best for when it comes to festive styling but one thing I do love is layering! Seeing as I won’t be in the country for Christmas, today is my pretend Xmas Day with my family so needed comfort as well as looking nice. The bath print was always the one that got away for me, so when they release the plum skater I was over the moon, as purple is my favourite non­black colour so matching lippy was also necessary! I’ve broken up the pattern and added some extra warmth with a gothic crop that screams Wednesday realness. I’ve gone for my matte pocket leggings over tights for cosy legs and a more forgiving waistband (due to being a size up) for the epic roast dinner! The waistbelt is there as always, along with my Docs and this long distressed, hooded cardigan just finishes off the look, whilst also acting as a blanket reading for the food coma on the sofa! Keep it witchy <3 Lily Dress: BM Plumbath scoop skater dress LT L Crop: Killstar Addams crop XL Leggings: BM Matte black pocket legs XL Cardigan: H&M L Boots: Dr Martens Belt: Ebay Lipstick: Lime Crime ‘Pansy’

Last Minute Christmas Shopping - Day 23!

If you're anything like me, then you probably still have a few things to pick up before the big day. So of course I had to run out and battle the crowds! I didn't want to wear anything TOO warm, since it can get stuffy inside stores. Paired my trusty Mecha Leggings with the One Big Top, threw on the beanie, crochet Toms, and I was out the door! Good choice too, because I swear some of the shops had their heater turned way up...

Top - One Big Top in XXS (this top is WAY oversized, in case you couldn't tell haha) Leggings - Mecha Leggings in M Beanie - AliExpress maybe? Shoes - Black Crochet Toms

Day 22!

It’s so close to Christmas now! So I got a bit excited and decided to “Christmas up” for work! Cosy toasties for our chilly office, cute Christmas sweater and a long blouse underneath to keep it “professional”! Snowflake toasties are probably my most favourite out of all of the toasties because it’s such a delicate and pretty print!

Day 21 Well today hasn't been as cold as I thought it would be but I still slapped on the toasties ! That and these are my first pair of toasties and my god they are a revolutionary idea! I remember thinking previously that I had cold knees and rubbing them during the winter (boo coldness) but these keep me toastie and warm. ( I have already brought another pair! :3) They are the same lining as the wifey sets, slouchies or snuggle suits. Now I am mostly gothic like wearing black but this was a punk day ! Aha tartan for the win ! Sadly I didn't have my docs with me though otherwise it would have been black docs for today! So what I am wearing Black and White Snood and Purple Tank Top - Primark Woollen Holey Grey Jumper - Next Green Tartan Toastie Leggings - Blackmilk Black Sk8Hi Shoes - Vans Almost Christmas ! Are you guys ready! Ruth

Day 20 here in XL BM land! Things are getting even crazier with more crops and skirts. Because why can't you triple BM layer in the winter like the Hot Little Boss you are This is one of my fav BM looks and I'm just going to get straight into it! Pugism Rev crop XL BM Sporty stripes hosiery Matte pinafore skater skirt XL Black cardi New look And those good old trusty primark boots again ❤️ That's all from me today folks! I'm very much looking forward to receiving my toasty wifey tops soon to help keep off this winter frost! -Jess

Day 19

Crop tops ! Not exactly a overly christmassy outfit but damn this outfit is on point! but its got green in it aha! Matching the crop and pocket skirt together they look awesome! I kept myself warm by wearing woollen tights or I would pair them with burned velvet leggings too! I am not usually one to wear crop tops either but I am a total sucker for this set. Because its long sleeved It felt more like a dress so I didnt feel too cold wearing this either ! or I am oblivious to the cold aha ! I find the crops from blackmilk are comfortable as they have a thicker wasitband compared to the wasitband on the skirts. I prefer the thicker waistband as it sits better compared to the thinner one.

I ussually go for a M in Blackmilk but I decided to size up on the crop due to the size of my boobs and skirt for these, the crop fits perfectly or my 36E boobs but the skirt is a little bit too big for me so just something to condiser if buying

(Sorry for the awful lighting - outside was not cooperating either today haha)

Had to rep the fandom of course, so I stole my wife’s XL Sith Shooter mwahahaha… Paired with my Large Matte LS Crop (to keep warm in the theater, obvi) and Sample Red Houndstooth Spartans that a lovely Sharkie picked up for me at a recent sample sale <3

Day 16 today! I rescued this beauty from customs yesterday and I love it! I wore it out straight away to my boyfriend’s brother’s birthday meal. Good grief that’s a mouthful! Anyway, I adore this because it’s a gorgeous floral print from a distance so I feel dressed up but still casual, and with my cardi I was cosy while walking to the restaurant.
