High Street Hits: Cute Cardis

I've been spotting so many sweet and versatile cardigans lately I just want to snuggle up in to hide from the horrible chill which has replaced the March sunshine.

High Street Hits: Winter Warmers Wishlist

You will love these sophisticated and stylish titles.

I don't know about you but I'm really feeling the chill. Here are some gorgeous pieces from the high street I'd love to snuggle up in:

1. Twill Military Coat in Plum, was £49.99 now £34.99 New Look
In need of a new winter coat I've decided to search for a rather different look. As much as I've loved my faithful pink coat I'm craving a more waisted look with fullness extending in the skirt to allow my flared skirts and dresses room to breath without cramping their style! I really like this New Look one. The double breasted buttons give it a tough edge but it's still very sweet and I adore those shoulder details.

2. Beret in orange, £3.99 H&M 3. Pink faux fur trapper hat, was £20 but currently £5 off so £15 River Island
I really want to add to my beret collection and this H&M one is really cute and in a cheerful colour. The River Island hat is absolutely amazing in its pink, fluffy ways. Then there's the added allure of pom poms, there's something about the little delights I find so pleasing.

4. Short cable crew cardi, £32 Miss Selfridge 5. Black bow cardigan, £30 H by Henry Holland at Debenhams
This Miss Selfridge cable knit cardi looks incredibly snuggly and the trim detail gives it a cute but smart feel. Then the bow print on the H by Henry Holland cardigan gives the piece an especially sweet feel.

6. Aztec Snood, £22 Warehouse 7. Oversized Love Heart Print Scarf, £20 Oasis
My scarf collection is quite possibly the most important part of my wardrobe. One of the things which triggers my whiplash injury most is the cold so they really are an essential for me. The print of this Warehouse snood really caught my eye, the colours are so vibrant and I haven't seen one quite like it anywhere else. Then the heart print Oasis number is majorly cute and I very much approve of it's oversized quality for the cosy factor.

8. Float Lace Socks, were £12 now £5 Tabio 9. Pamela Mann Black and Pink Heart Tights, £8 Motel Rocks
I really want some cute new ankle socks to layer and these Tabio ones are just beautiful! The ornate detailing puts them in a whole other sock league as far as I'm concerned. Then these heart print Motel Rocks tights are super fun and perfect for cheering up chilly days.
What are you craving for the winter months?
