January Favourites





I gratefully got this little gadget for Christmas and it has fast become one of my favourite things. There's just something so satisfying about getting your image there and then,watching it come to life. I'm definitely all for bringing back the physical copy of an image, there's just something so nostalgic about it.

 As far as polaroids go I would say the quality of image you get with this camera is not too bad at all. I personally really like the kind of oldy wordy feel to the image. I also really like the shape of the film, it just sets it apart from other polaroids. 

For me, although there are most probably cheaper cameras out there that are just as good, I still opted for this one because I loved the colour and the way the product looks on the whole and I'm not disappointed with the quality at all. It's also really light-weight too. One thing I would say is that the film is pretty pricey but for me that just makes the images I take that bit more special. I make sure I choose to capture particularly special memories.




I was pretty chuffed to get this in the sale early this month. Not going to lie, this purchase was pretty much influenced by all the good things I'd heard about it, even on feel unique (where I purchased it from) had such good reviews.

 I have really been enjoying using this since I've got it; it's very rich and feels really luxurious on the skin. For me, it does feel like a spa product and even smells like one; it's just lovely. To be honest, I can't say I've noticed a whole lot of difference in my skin from using this yet but straight after using it my skin does feel really clean and refreshed and all make-up is definitely removed, which is why I just love it. 

It is on the pricey side for sure, but you get a fair amount of product and you don't need much to cleanse the whole face. It comes with a really good quality muslin cloth to which is a plus.




I won't go into too much detail about this fragrance as I have done a more in depth post about it recently but I just had to include it because to me it really does smell divine. I know fragrance preference is personal but this one is just right up my street. I really think I will be repurchasing and repurchasing again for years to come.

If your into woody scents, I'd definitely recommend giving this one a try!


So this is my first item of clothing from Weekday so I can't comment fully on them as a brand but so far so good, I'll definitely be checking more of their stuff out now I know their quality is good and for me, worth the money.

I really do love everything about this jacket. It is very oversized but I personally love that about it, it feels very Scandinavian in its style and really reminds me of the oversized fit of the clothes from Monki, a brand I love and have frequently bought from for years now.

It's maybe not the most appropriate jacket for an English winter as it is a light silky fabric but I've been wearing it non stop anyway; layering with jumpers underneath and a scarf on top does the trick.



I was graciously gifted this beauty for Christmas and I've just not stopped using it this month. Not to be too hipster here but there's just something so satisfying about having physical records again, about listening to albums in full and on repeat. Not that I ain't all about the Ipod shuffle but I'm really looking forward to building my own collection of Vinyl's up over time. I think it's such a lovely thing to do and I like the idea of handing it down when I'm older.

 In terms of the sound quality of this particular Crosley, it's really not too bad, not the best as it is a little on the quiet side, but I still just love it. I chose the blue colour as it's my personal fav, but there's loads of different ones too if you're interested.




I can't tell you how long I've wanted to get my hands on one of these slogan t-shirts from Whistles. Well I kinda can actually; years. I'd seen them floating about on various different platforms and  thought they looked just effortlessly cool yanno. 

They come out with different ones every so often, usually French slogans, and I've liked them all, but there was something about this particular one that I just couldn't let go a miss. I just love the simplicity and the curve of the text. Of course it's a little on the pricey side but luckily I managed to grab this in the sale. Even so, I'd say it's worth it. The material is just so nice and soft and you can tell it's just so well made. It hangs on the body like a dream. 

It's a little different for me as I usually tend to gravitate to more oversized stuff. This isn't super fitted but it's not oversized either and I like that. It's definitely been a style staple for me this month.

It's available in Khaki too which is just as lovely.


I just love that this trend has come back, I really do. I had tried on a few different ones, such as similar checked ones from Topshop, but this one is by far my favourite.

 I love the dark blue colour as it's something I don't have a lot of in my wardrobe and find the fit really flattering (and forgiving haha).

I've been loving pairing this with my black turtle neck and Weekday jacket, like I'm just all about that outfit at the minute, it's become my uniform pretty much.

This pinafore also comes in at a super reasonable £19.99 which is so good considering I'd probably pay double for it.

David Bowie


Okay, so I just had to include Bowie in my favourites this month due to this unexpected huge loss that has shaken the world. I could go on and on about him I really could, but it has all probably been said better by another, and that's just it. 

How grave an effect it has been on so many and how they all have something to recall about how his music has reached them and touched them in the same way it has done for me, just says it all. A true artist. A true practitioner. Not just music, but art, life. Creativity at it's best. Gone but never forgotten.

What are your January favourites?

PS. I have tried to link the items the best I can but unfortunately some items are not available at the moment.
