Cosy January Fashion Favourites Wishlist

1. Sports Direct snow boots, 2. Divergent by Veronica Roth. 3. Dorothy Perkins Sparkle socks, 4. New Look Kimono cardigan, 5. Forever21 Plus Aztec hoodie, 6. New Look Grey tote bag, 7. Forever 21 Bib necklace.

I don't know about you but I am so busy in December that I never find time for reading, so January is my month for sitting cosied up in bed and getting thorough a couple of books on my Kindle. I actually got a paperback copy of Divergent for Christmas, so I am looking forward to getting stuck into a real book for a change. Wrapping up warm is a must here in the UK, Snow is on it's way and I want to be ready. I am in love with these Sports Direct bargain versions of this winters 'it boot' from Sorel and the Aztec hoodie from Forever 21 +. I am so excited that they are now doing a plus size range! Another favourite for January is this statement necklace also from Forever 21, it would bring a splash of warmth to any winter outfit, They have a great range of statement necklaces.

How do you like to stay cosy and warm in these non-festive winter months?

Love it: Getting Cosy

Fox hot water bottle cover, New Look Bobble hat, Mug Cozy, Accessorize slippers, River Island Jumper, Next Reindeer throw

My place looks like a blanket factory right now with all the cosy throws I have scattered around the place! Being cosy and warm is my top priority at the moment, at home the heating is up full whack whenever I am there. Even with the heating on, I love being snuggled up on the sofa surrounded by snuggly things. I love these slippers, they are (faux) fur lined and and so comfy and how adorable is that sleepy fox hot water bottle cover? 

How do you like to stay cosy and warm at this time of the year? 

Have a snuggly weekend x

Cook it: Under the Weather Soup

So this week, along with Sammy, I have not been feeling so tip top - maybe it's a blogger thing! All this running around has caught up with me and I am lethargic, achy and lacking in any enthusiasm!

However, this does make me more inclined to make one of my favourite things - soup!  It's a ritual of when I am Under the weather to cook up a big batch of vitamin filled vegetable soup to help me get back up and running.  Along with my trusty tissues, lemsip and blanket - who doesn't love to cosy up with their blanket?

So, I thought it only fair to share with you, this weeks batch, looks good doesn't it!

Recipe

1 Yellow Pepper

1/2 a Savoy Cabbage

1 tin of Butterbeans

Chicken stock cube

500ml Tomato Passata

1 Onion

1 clove Garlic

Herbs/spices to taste

I fry off the pepper and cabbage first to soften, then add the passata and stock and simmer.  Add the butter beans and any herbs/spices you like, I went with Oregano, Thyme and Garlic for this one, but I do like to have a spicy chilli hit sometimes too.

Overtime I make up some soup I put slightly different things in it and try a new way of doing it so this by no means is the same recipe I use every time (depends what I have in the fridge) but it is easy especially when you're feeling a bit under the weather.  This has kept me going all week and has made me feel all healthy inside.

What's your favourite Soup recipe, please do share so I can give it a go.
