Chamonix fan-caay

This is my first outfit that I bought with winter in mind, even though the tshirt is the focus, and tshirts are not the best for winter wear, but I just loved the snowy scene on it.

I got it from Forever21 about 2 weeks ago, and I went in there last week and couldn't see it- but maybe I wasn't looking hard enough or the stock has been all switched around.
The top itself is kinda baggy, this is the smallest size and it's still like a nightshirt on, but I tuck it into my jeans to give it a little more shape.
The front texture is a silky fabric, and the back a thin white cotton- the scene on the front is just like the snowy mountains in Chamonix, which is a magical place in France.
It's not literally magical, but it feels like it is as it's far away from anything and people live in actual log cabins, like in Hansel and Gretel!

Also, all the time you are surrounded by snow topped mountains even when it's super warm, water trickles down them and it's so pure you can drink it.

So as you have probably guessed- this shirt captured my heart!

For the rest of the outfit I tucked it into a pair of inky blue jeans, im wearing a white vest underneth the top and blck cardgian over the top for extra layers, then a leather-looking jacket over the top of that.

On my feet are my trusty black ankle boots.

On my eyes I'm wearing Chaos from the Urban Decay Vice palette in the crease and blended it out a lot as the blue colour is super duper bright.

Then in the corner of my eye I'm wearing a matte brown, and a light colour on the browbone. I thsould be blended enough to not look electric blue on your eye but like a pretty wintery-midnight blue.

Hooray for Chamonix (pronounced sham-oh-neigh)

I can't fit a carousel in my bedroom!

When decorating a room, I love to white wash the walls, the ceiling and to have bare floorboars, so that it feels like a truly blank canvas where you can dash colour all over the walls, the furniture every which way with throws, pictures, cushions, curtains and linen. Because then you can remove it all so easily, and you have a beautiful fresh canvas to start with all over again. Perhaps in summer I might prefer candy pink bedsheets and my picture of silk ballet shoes, and in winter I use my ruby red linen instead and hang a poster of the London skyline.

One picture that would look stunning in my summer colour scheme if I chose it to be that, is this:


I adore carousels, they evoke so many sensory reactions, the scent of spinning candy floss sugar, the charming but sometimes haunting 'chime' of the music they play, the old fashioned gold horses each with their own name.

We have a fair that stops by twice a year and the carousel has returned time and time again since before I was even old enough to go on.

This picture was taken in the North of France, but I'm trying to justify why I should treat myself!?
