Hello guys!
In Australia our winter is (slowly) drawing to a close. I would be lying if I said that I hadn't been craving the sun. We have been pretty lucky lately to have a few days when the sun made a hasty, but hot, appearance and for those few days, I soaked up the sun in content. I thought it would be fitting to do The Winter Tag. I know this tag is old, and consequently hasn't been doing rounds recently, but I don't think it really has a time stamp as it is a universal kind of thing.
Also, just wanted to let you know that my updates, over the course of the next few weeks probably aren't going to be as regular. I have all my major exams coming up, so I have to dedicated even more time to my studies Rest assured that after my exams, I already have planned a few quality ideas for some blog posts as I'm going to be travelling up the coast with my family. Watch this space! In the meantime, if you want to keep up to date with me, I'll be occasionally posting thing on my Twitter.
So, without further ado, I give you the Australian Winter Tag.
1. Do you like the cold?
No, I much prefer the heat. I love being able to spend long times in the sun, or going out with friends and family, or going to the beach, or just going for drives. However, there are some aspects of the cold which I do like.
2. What is your favourite part of Winter?
Friday and Saturday nights. That might sound a little random, but whenever I'm not busy on these nights, I love cuddling up in my bed and watching movies or having long marathons of television shows (crime shows, namely), or watching YouTube videos (no shame), or reading others blogs. I also love when I'm at home and it's raining, but I don't like when I'm out and it's raining - in that situation, I just feel miserable.
3. Does it snow where you live?
No, it doesn't. If you drive for about six hours, you'll hit snow.
4. What is you favourite Autumn/Winter scent?
I don't actually have many scents, but when I go out for formal events, I like to wear Burberry Brit.
5. What is your favourite item of clothing to wear in Winter?
I love to wear big jackets or coats. I have a hand me down jacket that my brother gave me for my birthday (which was featured in this blog post) which has been a staple in my wardrobe. It's comfy, and is often mistaken for a Burberry product, because of the inner lining, which makes me laugh (because there's no way I can afford it!)
6. What is you favourite Winter nail polish colour?
I love love love the Rimmel London Kate Moss Collection, of which I adore the Acid House nail polish shade (which was featured in this blog post). I don't really fancy my fingernails being painted all the time, because I hate how it looks when they chip, and I feel the need to take it all off, so I tend to just only put it on my toenails. When it chips on my toenails, I don't really taken any notice.
7. What is your favourite Winter lip product?
I get really dry, cracked lips during the colder months if I don't take care of them. It's for this reason that I tend to stick to what is popular, because they obviously are popular for a reason, or what is advised to me. I'll just say classic Maybelline New York Baby Lips, or Nivea Moisture.
8. What is you favourite Winter accessory?
Although I don't really tend to change, or mix up, my accessories, I do really like when people wear big, chunky rings. Unfortunately, I don't really wear statement accessories, but I do adore that look.
9. Coffee, tea or hot chocolate?
Ooh, I can't possibly choose from tea or hot chocolate. I'm not really a fan of coffee, I've always been a massive fan of hot chocolate, but I'm also a sucker for tea. I just love the variety that it offers - I love chai lattes a lot, but I also love a classic green tea. I've actually recently tried a green tea with coconut, which was interesting, and a green tea with chai in it, which I loved! If you are ever wanting to try a new brand of tea, which has so much variety, I would definitely recommend Higher Living. There is so much to choose from, and it all tastes so good!
10. What winter trend do you prefer: winged eyeliner or dark lips?
Considering I'm still a student, I don't really have the time to perfect either of these looks, or really a place to wear them. It's safe to say that I adore both of these looks so I really don't think I can choose. I am in awe of people who have the ability to do/pull off these trends though.
11. What is your most worn sweater?
Hmm... My collection of sweaters is limited, as I'm more of a jacket/coat kind of person myself. I do however love the Urban Outfitters and Free People Winter sweater collections. Maybe another blog post idea?
12. Skinny jeans or leggings?
Jeans, without a shadow of a doubt. I used to live in leggings, but for the past couple of years, I just love wearing jeans. There's so much diversity with them - ripped, boyfriend, skinny. Whatever you want. I just really like jeans, to the point that if I had to choose one pair of clothing to always wear, it would be them.
13. What song gets you in the mood for Winter/Autumn?
Honestly, I'm not really sure how to answer this question so I'm just going to say what songs I've been loving this Winter which has predominantly consisted of Henry Green's cover of Electric Feel.
14. What shoes do you tend to wear most in Winter?
I love to wear my Doc Martins (of which I recently acquired my second pair, second hand, from one of my friends), or any boots, or any detailed flats (I have a pair of lion ones from Rubi Shoes which I think look so nice with skinny jeans).
15. Have you ever gone ice skating? Are you any good at it?
I do occasionally go ice skating, and I have the ability to skate by myself, but I am in no way a good skater. I have a couple of friends who have grown up skating, or play ice sports, so they obviously are much better at skating than me, and that's what I'm comparing myself to.
That's all! I hope you guys have had a brilliant week and that you're all safe and healthy.
Much love,
Duchess
