To state the obvious, I love Christmas! I was home in Leicestershire with my parents and brother, my Grandpa and his wife and a family friend who visits for dinner every Christmas.

This shirt and skirt combo has become a favourite of mine lately, and I discovered both of them (and the coat!) second hand shopping. I could sing the praises of pre-loved fashion until you're bored to tears but instead I'm going to talk about a recent obsession of mine: Depop. I scored this Bitching and Junkfood top on Depop a couple of months ago and have been adding plenty of pieces to my wardrobe
