How to wear: Leopard Print Leggings (part two)
A lot of you have contacted me since the How to wear Leopard Print Leggings post to tell me how good and helpful it was. When I wrote that post 'Leopard Print Leggings' weren't seen as the 'item' of clothing to wear. Ever since I bought my pair from Topshop I've seen them everywhere since.
So I thought I'd do another post with different items of clothing I've been wearing my leopard print leggings with! (wahoo!)
Outfit One: T-shirt
T-shirt - New Look
Leggings - Topshop
How to wear: Wear this outfit with a grey zip up hoody and a pair of flat black shoes (I like to wear black Toms!) or wear it with a jumper and a pair of military boots (and thick socks too!)
Outfit Two: The Massive Jumper
Jumper - Topshop (last year)
Leggings - Topshop
How to wear: Wear this outfit with a snood (if it's super cold outside) and a long sleeved top underneath (probably white or black) and wear it with socks and a pair of ankle boots in black or grey!
Outfit Three: The Logo T-shirt
T-shirt - New Look
Leggings - Topshop
How to wear: Wear this outfit with a plain coloured cardigan of a thick knitted cardi to keep you warm in this weather! buy a t-shirt like this a couple of sizes too big (I think mines a 14!) to cover up your bum. You can wear this outfit with a plain zip up hoody too. The ideal shoes would be dark coloured toms/sneakers or ankle boots!
These are just a few ways I wear my Leopard print leggings as so many people find them really hard to wear but would LOVE to wear them!
How would you wear a pair of leopard print leggings?

This seasons Party Wear from Ellos.co.uk
It's really hard to find that dress you'll be wearing to your winter parties!
I'm still looking for mine! I think you have to check as many retailers & online retailers as you can so you have a wide variety to choose from.
I really like the womens clothing by ellos and I think they have a great range of party dresses. Which are all under £50!
For christmas It's best to stick to dark colours such as dark purple, dark blue and black or to go for the 'pastel' colours which are white,cream,beige and light pink. I would wear these dresses with thick opaque black tights and a shiny pair of black heels or black wedges!
What do you think of these dresses? Have you found your christmas dress yet?
And don't forget to enter the MATALAN COMPETITION for a chance to win a £30 voucher!

Papp a Postcard: Christmas In London & win a £500 Topshop spree
For people who don't live in the capital it's seen really as an adventure to get on a train for 3 hours to London. It's a place I've never really seen myself until I started my blog and I don't think I'd have got the chance to unless I moved closer!
Me and Lydia went to London today! (yay!) I think we were just super excited as Lydia's never really been and I've only really been to go to events for my blog so just a venture round London was so much fun!
We started off attempting to get to Brick Lane... we bought our railcards to find out the Hammersmith line was closed and so were a few more due to engineering and over crowding or something like that so we ended up walking around from Moorgate to Aldgate (about 20 minutes i think) walking with only my phone to guide us! Eventually we found it and we checked out some of the lovely food shops brick lane has to offer!
(my camera died and I can't find my cable (boo) so I can't retrieve the photos just yet!)
We then went to Camden! It was so so busy but I think if it wasn't as crowded we'd have had a real good look to find some vintage bargains! Camden Market was really good! We then went to Oxford street I then remembered I had this awesome camera application on my phone and little phone battery so I took a few snaps...
Don't the lights on Oxford Street look amazing?! And who could forget the famous London red buses!
As you can see from these shots from my Iphone, Oxford Street was so so so busy today! were any of you there doing your christmas shopping? It was so over crowded and it took me and Lydia 20 minutes to walk from H&M to Forever 21 (which were 2 stores apart!) never have we felt so claustrophobic... I think there's a benefit to not living in London (something like that never happens unless it's the january sales at the Trafford Centre!)
And here's a couple of photos of Topshop, honestly some serious shoe lust over those studded loafers!
I was asked to be involved in helping promote the Papp a Postcard competition on The National Rail's Facebook Page where you can upload your favourite (creative & unique) holiday snap of you and your friends to be in with a chance of winning a £500 spree in Topshop and runners up receive prizes such as railcards!
All you have to do is 'Like' The National Rail's Facebook Page and upload your photo with a caption to enter the competition!

Christmas Gift Ideas for your boyfriend or brother under £20!
I thought I'd do another post about Christmas gift ideas for someone like your boyfriend or brother. I really like how some brands sell stylish accessories to go with their clothing. Carhartt at size have a wide range of clothing and acceossories and i've picked out my favourite buys which are all under £20!
(L-R Essentials Bag, Ipad cover & Socks)
These are all great for present for christmas and let's put it this way a man can never have too many pairs of socks! If your boyfriend or brother has an Ipad take a look at an Ipad case and every guy need a zip-up case to put their everyday essentials in!
These t-shirts are great! They're £19.99 each and come in these three colours but also red aswell. You can never go wrong with quite simple gifts such socks or a t-shirt and these t-shirts would look great with a pair of chino's and trainers!
What do you think of Carhartt clothing/accessories? Have you started your christmas present shopping yet? Which of the three t-shirts would you buy?

The shots that didn't make it
I suppose a lot of people don't realise It sometimes takes a lot of photos to get the right ones to post on your blog. There's also the photoshoots of outfits which never actually made it onto my blog... so I thought I'd share with you all some of the shots which didn't make it onto my blog! (well they have now!)
Some of them are recent and some or them are from last year I've only just realised how long my hair used to be! aaaaaah!!
Which is your favourite photo? It's so weird to think how much my style and appearance has changed!

Christmas Gift Ideas for your boyfriend or brother!
I know what you're thinking. Christmas gift ideas it's not even december! I say it's better to be prepared with these things!
You probably think Chinos have been around for months now, but guys do need a pair or two of them in their lives. It's a great look going out as It shows he's a stylish guy! All he needs is a band t-shirt and vans and he's sorted!
You're probably thinking these cost a lot but each of these pairs of chinos are only £35 each! Check out the men's chinos at Bank now!
Another option is converse! I think most guys have a couple of pairs of these but they'll always be a really good present and at least you know they'll make good use of them if you buy them a pair of Converse! All these pairs are between £35-£50 so they are not over expensive either!
My last idea is a T-shirt. Superdry Tee's are known for to be stylish and at about £20 a tee they are reasonably priced too! I've got some Superdry clothes and I've never come across such comfortable clothing! These t-shirt's are great especially if your brother/boyfriend already has a pair of chinos they go perfectly!
These are just a few christmas gift ideas I'm hoping to do more posts like this the closer it gets to christmas! I tend to buy my christmas present around now (even though it's not december!) because it's about getting all your christmas shopping over and done with!
What are you getting your Brother this christmas? Are you getting your boyfriend anything special?

Giambattista Valli at Macy's
I finally had an opportunity to browse the Giambattista Valli for Impulse collection at Macy's. Full of ruffles, bold red hues, and leopard prints, it was exactly the kind of clothing that I dream of filling my closet with. Although I didn't try anything on, my favorite piece by far was the frilly red skirt in the second photo. Everything appeared to be well tailored with luxe details, rich
Always Wear Red & The Half A Million
I know I've already posted today but I couldn't help but post about the outfit I wore today. So many people have complimented me on how the red belt really makes my outfit stand out!
I'm wearing a leopard print scalloped vest top from Internationale, Red belt from Primark and Leigh Jeans from Topshop.
I never really wear belts but I think this outfit just goes right with a bright red belt as It's a good contrast. I think this belt only cost about £1.50 or some ridiculous price like that (!) I suppose It gives a whole new look to a simple outfit which you'd just wear with a chunky cardigan right now because of this super cold weather!
I never really wear jeans either but as it's so cold right now I'm wearing them a lot!
What do you think of bright belts? Do you think accessories can completely change an outfit?
p.s EEK I'M NEARLY ON HALF A MILLION HITS! only 200 to go!

Fancy Dress Fashion
I don't know about you but a lot of my friends and people I know seem to be having fancy dress themed parties lately! I think it's great to go as something simple like a cat (boring I know) but I'm starting to think you should think outside the box a little more when It comes to these sort of things. I couldn't help but look at the great looking 80s costumes available at fancydressball.co.uk! I think there's a lot of things you can go as to a fancy dress party but It's always good to take a look online for inspiration and ideas!
(L-R Where's Wally, Lady Gaga, Superwoman and Amy Winehouse)
These 80s costumes are my favourite on the site, especially that Superwoman outfit!
I also like how with fancy dress parties you can dress really over the top or you can go as a more 'subtle' outfit (like me and the cat idea!) I've been to parties where people have been rubix cubes, the a team, 118 men... the list goes on. I think at the next fancy dress party I go to I'll probably go as Superwoman not a cat this time!
I also love how fancydressball stock accessories to go with your outfit too! I love the choice of 70s fancy dress accessories on the site!
Which fancy dress outfit is your favourite?

Time To Shine
One of my favorite things about this time of year is the abundance of highly decorative and attention-grabbing store window displays. At the Macy's flagship in San Francisco, I eyed a few sparkly and sequin-covered displays that have me suddenly wanting to wear anything shiny and festive.
Wintery Tights
Have you ever thought about changing from your plain pair of black opaques to something else?
Lately I've been experimenting with different patterned tights these are my current favourites from Henry Holland for Pretty Polly...
Sweater - Topshop
Shorts - Topshop
Tights - Tights Please
Wedges - Desire Clothing
I'm loving these star print tights and I think they'll be great with any dress for a christmas party! (or shorts)
What do you think of patterned tights? Are you a Henry Holland Tight girl?

I'M A REDHEAD
I never thought I'd get my whole head dyed. I've always had highlights but never gone all out and had my whole head dyed. I know people say red's been overdone but I fancied a change what better than to take a trip to my local Regis Salon in Crewe to have it done!
I thought you may aswell go lighter as I was originally going to go darker as I thought it's going to fade in time anyway!
Also, Regis are running a competition! to be in with a chance of winning a Canon 550D camera and whole year of hair services to visit Emma Willis's Regis blog! (www.haveagreathairday.co.uk/emmawillis)
What do you all think of my new hair?
p.s thankyou to everyone who's followed fashion-train now reached 2,800 by google reader! and nearly at that half a million hits too! aaaah!
My Week In Instagram Photos
I suppose I never really do much 'personal' posts but I'm getting really into all these photo applications at the moment. I've always loved Instagram (oh yes everybody i've only just started it using it properly as I have two accounts so FOLLOW ME all you lovely instagramers?!)
These photos are from the past two weeks...
1. Me and Lydia made quite possibly the best brownies in the world. (They are based on Jamie Oliver's Bloomin Brilliant Brownie Recipe) and I've never had so many compliments for food I've baked. The original recipe says add nuts and dates but we added galaxy, white chocolate and M&M's (perfect alternative)
2. Chilling with my friend Ruth (we love Instagram woo!)
3. This photos on halloween, I had my face painted like a cat!
4. My new shoes from Linzi Shoes.
5. I bought 10 Nail Art pens! (yes 10!) and my money has never been so well spent. If you follow me on Twitter and on Facebook you'll know how much I love my black nail art pen and seen all the designs I've done thanks to it! So It's great to have 9 more colours to experiment with!
6. An App called 'Incredibooth' was free for the weekend on the App Store it's amazing! And this is me and two of my sisters messing about on the App!
7. One of my best friends Emily decided to have a formal birthday party and so this is me and Lydia before we went to her party.
8. And here's us at the party with another close friend of ours Jimmy! (with a formal dress code the guys had to wear suits it was like reliving prom...)
9. Most of you regular followers will have seen both these photos! These are my current nails (thanks to my black and white nail art pens) and so many of you lot seem to love my nails and this is quite a simple aztec print design (YES I did say simple!) so I'm not sure if I should do tutorials?!
10. These are some other new shoes of mine from Topshop... Oh the studs... so much love for them! I think pretty much every blogger seems to have these. Now I have my hands on a pair I know why! They really are the best shoes ever!
How's your week been? You done any cooking/baking been to any parties?
