WINTER WARMERS: KNITS & JUMPERS

Stefanel ad campaign fall 2012/13 featuring Karlie Kloss

Hello Tweeps, can't quite believe it's November already! Is this the month where you go into full on X-mas shopping mode? Or do you prefer lastminute.com style?
Either way, this month brings us to closer to chillier temperatures, which usually means me wearing tons of layers and chunky knits (if in the UK) or layering lots of spidery, thin knits when in Greece.
I'm afraid I don't deal with cold temperatures well and as much as I like to bundle up in chunky knits (without looking like the Michelin man, mind), I often get into the same winter staples of knitted dress, metallic knitted sweater (tres SportMax) oversized slouchy knits, bold coloured slim-fit roll neck and honeycomb chunky wrap cardi. I thought perhaps this winter I'd be a little adventurous with print and maybe even a cheeky novelty style knit.
 Being enveloped in a huge knit, this shot makes me want to crack out the knitting needles! Ha! 

Simple stylish wintertime knits can speak volumes in terms of style on their own, but a basic knit teamed with the right accessories (belts/necklaces) can turn it into a major fashion statement.
I love playing with different textures and layering up to the max, or even wearing a super chunky knit sweater with a pretty floral maxi skirt.

 Oversized chunky knit teamed with skinnies/leggings and fierce boots, gorgeous!
 Metallics, I do love a bit of daytime sparkle
Love the layering, using colour and different knits...
