Gingerbread Girl

Jumper: Topshop | Jacket: Primark | Leggings: Tezenis | Boots: Dr. Martens

February demands latte hues, even though I'm a black coffee drinker - I can't stand milk in my coffee. Baileys-coloured leggings, chocolate boots and a tweed jacket are subtle picks that make it possible for my adorably pretty red jumper with gingerbread men all over it to stand out! I love all things ginger, it's one of my favourite spices. Besides, it does wonders for your health, you know? I always cut some chunks of ginger root and add them to my lemon tea when I feel like the flu is taking over. The gingerbread man itself is, not only deliciously childhood-reminiscent but also cute and adorable. Even my body lotion smells like ginger! Sense a slight obsession?...
I actually had to purchase this cute garment through eBay, since it sold out within a couple of days at Topshop online. My mother found the jumper anecdotal - she asked me if it was a pyjama! Oh well, I shall wear it at work and I couldn't care less for the eventual comments.
My hair doesn't look so good, even though I layered it myself last night (not too much so I didn't end up looking like a cross between Joan Jett and a poodle), however, the colour doesn't look uniform. I must also mention the lipstick I'm wearing: it's the good old MAC Chili, one of my all time favourite lip colours.
So, how ridiculously christmassy do I look?

  1. Gosto imenso da tua camisola! Lembro-me imenso daquele bonequinho do Shrek com as gomas a fazer de botões... *.*
    E deixa-me sem duvida a pensar no Natal, uma das minhas alturas preferidas do ano :)))

  6. Engraçado falares do cabelo que eu estava a olhar para as fotos e a pensar que - apesar de a cor não estar uniforme - a parte de cima do teu cabelo estava com um tom liiiindooooo e super yumm. Tb faço isso do gengibre, mas com chá preto, e ponho imenso gengibre na comida, aos pedaços mesmo, coisa que irrita marido e filho que preferem que eu rale o gengibre para não apanharem pedaços, já eu gosto de o trincar, loool. SIm, a camisola é tipo o Natal all over again.
