Topshop Mittens!

Hello everyone!

So I live in Edinburgh which means it's pretty damn cold during the Winter months! I managed until very recently without gloves however with going back to uni, I need to keep warm for walking around on cold mornings.

I don't know why but plain black gloves just do not boat well with me, I just think gloves are a way to add to an outfit when accessories can't always be seen with big jackets and jumpers so impress where you can.

Topshop always have beautiful faux fur items in Winter so I went their first and fell in love with the mittens below. 

Firstly, how cosy and cute do they look? In winter I like to be warm and don't mind dressing down more to ensure I am not catching a cold but as mentioned, outer garments don't need to be plain so these hit the spot. They look like their made for an Inuit they are so fuffy!

The mitten look is also brilliant in my book as I just think they are cuter and warmer. I realise it makes things a little difficult i.e. texting but, I can sacrifice that to keep warm and have cute gloves. 

Now, they get better, the main reason I got them is because of the underside (palm area) of the mittens, theres paw prints! So these actually look like animals paws which is just the sweetest and animals always look warm with their big fur coats so having their feet (in a sense) must be a good thing in freezing temperatures. I also regularly get referred to as a lion of sorts because of my red hair and its fullness and curlyness when left natural so I really did need these!

These beauties were not cheap, they cost £20, however all winter accessories seem to be getting more expensive. I already have a scarf and hats from previous years in amazing condition as well so as I didn't need to replace those I felt I could justify these more so. They are worth the money in terms of their primary use as well as they keep my hands ridiculously cosy which warms me right up and so were well worth the money. Plus I know these will keep until the winter of this year as well as Topshop's stuff stays in great condition providing it's looked after.

Thanks for reading,
