Same as a number of you, Christmas is my favourite time of the year and I love everything about it.
This year, I have decided that I will be doing a Christmas blog series - Countdown2Christmas

Basically, what I will do is, everyday starting the 1st of Dec to the 24th of Dec, Christmas Eve, I will be posting on this blog, things related to Christmas. I hope that Countdown2Christmas will help bring back nostalgic memories from your childhood and get everybody in the festive mood.

Christmas has always been full of love and joy for me every single year no matter where I am or who I am with or how the day is, I always seem to be able to make the best out of it and I am hoping that this year will be no different. With that said, let us make the Christmas of 2013 an amazingly memorable one and I can't wait to start to Countdown2Christmas with all of you <3

Creaseless Hair Ties

Hi everybody! Hope you are all doing well.
I just wanted to share my love for creaseless hair ties with all of you. Im absolutely obsessed with these and I love them to death.
The idea behind it is basically just absolute genius.

Right girls, so I'm sure you get me when I talk about the annoying sort of "dents" (i guess) that re left on your hair after having your hair in a ponytail all day. For me, I love having my hair in a ponytail as I have really long hair and I can get slightly lazy with it, ponytails are just super simple hairstyles to create in the morning whilst rushing out of the door. Well I have some great news as now we should not have to worry about "dents" in our hair any longer.

Creaseless hair ties will not rip out your hair or create any dents whatsoever. They are amazing and they look really cute on, whether you will be wearing them on ponytails or just on your wrists as an accessory. They can create a really beautiful ponytail and adding more volume to the roots because the elastic is nice and thick.
They have been seen on many celebrities from Kristin Cavallari to Kendall Jenner.

You can easily get these creaseless hair ties online, etsy stores or even places like Forever 21 and Accessorize for around about £3. Now if you do not want to buy them, you can even make them yourselves and that way you can have it in any colour combinations or patterns that you prefer. Just check out the many different DIY tutorials on Youtube if you are interested.

I would suggest you to check out www.emi-jay.com to see amazing pattern ideas or you can buy them of the website as they have many different and unique designs and follow them on Instagram @emijayinc

These creaseless hair ties are usually sold in bright and neon colours with all kinds of crazy patterns like chevron, leopard prints, etc..
And they are a great way to add a pop of colour if you have a slightly monochrome coloured outfit on as it is winter currently, all the clothes in stores gets a little dull and boring and not very bright. If you do not choose to have your hair in a ponytail, you can always just pop them on your wrist and you will be good to go!








So whether you buy them or create your own personalised style with them and no matter how you style and wear them, I hope you fall in love with creaseless hair ties just as much as I have. I hope you guys are having a wonderful November and don't forget to look out for my Christmas blog series starting the 1st of December and I will talk to you guys really soon.

I love you all and happy holidays <3

Thanksgiving Outfit

Hi everybody!
Though it is not an official holiday in the UK, thanksgiving is still an excuse to get all dressed up and be around family, friends and all our loved ones. Well, thanksgiving is only a couple weeks from today so if you are deciding on what to put on for this occasion, I hope this blogpost can give you some ideas or inspiration and it can be helpful in anyway possible.

So if you are planning on having thanksgiving dinner with the family or friends and eat a whole bunch of food, you definitely want to be very comfortable.  If this is the plan for your Thanksgiving day, I assume you will probably be spending most of your day in the kitchen or lounging around and you definitely will not want to have your outfit causing any problems.
I think the best outfit for this is to go very simple.

For a warm and cosy outfit, this is one that it absolutely perfect! This outfit allows you to be very comfortable throughout the whole day whilst keeping warm and embracing the colours of autumn.

  • White jumper
  • Burnt red/maroon trousers
  • Dark brown ankle boots
  • Black satchel
  • Simple long necklace
  • Burnt red/maroon infinity scarf




Another extra comfy outfit...

  • White top
  • Denim shorts
  • Sheer leggings
  • Black leather jacket
  • Dark red snood
  • Beige/brown cross body bag



If your plans for Thanksgiving day is to not step a single foot out of the house and just be really casual for the entire day, this outfit would work. Simplicity is key.

  • Grey oversized jumper
  • Denim shorts
  • Sheer leggings



If you want to be slightly more dressy, this outfit is perfect as it is nice and girly but still casual and comfy <3

  • White oversized jumper
  • Grey skater skirt
  • Sheer leggings
  • Grey handbag



Another girly outfit is this one which is absolutely lovely as well

  • Grey quarter sleeved top
  • Black leather skater skirt
  • Burnt red infinity scarf
  • Grey cardigan
  • Black knee socks
  • Black ankle booties



And, if you are going to have a night out with your friends and you are looking to get all dressed up and pretty then here are a few outfit ideas for that.

For a pretty and simple look for a night out......
And maybe add a nice blazer for more warmth with a cute clutch and you are good to go!

  • Black sheer crochet lace long sleeved top
  • Black skirt
  • Sheer leggings



Another simple and beautiful night out outfit

  • Cream long sleeved shirt with brown polka dots
  • Black leather skirt
  • Black sheer leggings
  • Aqua blue clutch



For a more simple and low key outfit....

  • Cream dress
  • Brown skinny belt
  • Black leggings
  • Dark blue/black blazer
  • Long necklace



This one is for you girls who can't get enough of comfy jumpers but still keeping it sweet and pretty.
  • Black jumper
  • Black skater skirt
  • Sheer leggings
  • Brown scarf



This is a simple one but it is extremely pretty and a little brighter compared to the typical fall/winter colours. Again, you can add some sheer leggings for warmth.
  • White thin dress
  • Gold skinny belt
  • Baby pink cardigan
  • Beige handbag
  • Rose gold watch/bracelets


This is a show stopping one and really amazing as well. And of course feel free to add some sheer leggings and a blazer and pair it with some sexy ankle booties for more warmth.

  • White dress with cutouts
  • Gold statement necklace
  • Black clutch



And as for shoes, you can obviously wear anything you prefer to match along with your outfit and your plans for the day whether it is....

Some comfy UGGs....


 A cute pair of ankle boots....



Or some amazing wedges....



I hope all of you have an absolutely wonderful thanksgiving and enjoy the day even though you are not celebrating. I hope you make the best out of your day no matter where you are or what your plans might be. Do feel free to comment below sharing your thanksgiving day outfit ideas.

And..... let us all now get really really excited for Christmas and don't forget to look out for my Christmas blog series starting 1st December.

Ultimate Fall Fashion

Hi everybody! Now that we are in autumn/fall, lets take a look at some of the "ultimate fall fashion".
In my opinion, these are definite MUST HAVES for fall/autumn fashion.

SHOES
I am absolutely obsessed with ankle boots during this time of the year. i think they are the perfect footwear as you can dress them up and dress them down and it can also complete your outfit and look super cute <3

A pair of doc martens are always so nice to have around and can definitely last you through fall/winter easily and maybe even next fall/winter.


Floral doc martens makes a slightly dull and boring outfit look brighter and more exciting. woohoo

A pair of wedge booties are also some of my favourites as they are so comfy and cute. Whether they are laced up or buckled down, it is definitely a must have for autumn.






Stiletto booties are much more dressy and they look really good with some sheer leggings and a cute dress.


Fold over boots !!!!!!!!!!!! <3



And for those rainy days..........




LEGGINGS

All I can say is, a girl needs her leggings. haha




For a more interesting look, try going for coloured/ patterned leggings....


It doesn't hurt anyone to be festive :p


Knee socks keeps you warm and looks great under some knee boots


CUTE & COSY, OVERSIZED JUMPERS/ SWEATERS

They are perfect for keeping warm and making you look and feel super snug and comfy when its chilly outside.



Because its SWEATER WEATHERRRRRR



 Snoods/ infinity scarfs



Alright well I hope everyone has had a great fall this year and super excited for winter and oh yes, Christmas <3

I love fall fashion and I am definitely excited for winter. I would like to point out that this year, I will do a Christmas blog series so please look out for that, starting the 1st of December. Also, I do would like to say that my Instagram is still having issues which I am very upset about but I will let you guys know as soon as the problem is fixed. Do comment below if you have any other fall must haves to share and I will talk to you guys soon. :)

INSTAGRAM EMERGENCY

Hello everybody! hopefully, everyone is having a great sunday so far. however, I am not. It has been brought to my attention that my instagram account is having minor problems. I have never been faced with these issues before and to be honest, its really scary.

I have a feeling that my instagram account is being/ trying to be hacked into by an anonymous user. Therefore, instagram has disallowed me as the owner of this account to continue signing in. 

My issue:-
  • At the sign in page, i will type in my username and password and then continue to click "sign in"
  • Instagram will then flash a bright red, eye-catching message at the top of the screen saying - to secure your account, we have reset your password. Please tap Forget Password below and follow the instructions to access your account.
  • I continue to click the "Forget Password?" button right below the password tab.
  • I am brought to the Sign In Help page and I am to choose how I would like to reset my password. I choose the username or email tab. Following that, i type in my username.
  • I am now at the Reset Password page and i click "Send a Password Reset Email"
  • At the bottom of the page, a message says - An email has been sent to your account's email address. Please check your email to continue. If you are still having problems please click the Instagram Help Centre
  • I do not receive any email in the inbox of my email account.
  • The Instagram Help Centre is not much help as it only asks me to reset my password using Facebook. However, my instagram account is not connected to my Facebook and I have no plans on doing so anytime soon.
I assure you that the problem will be fixed as soon as possible. In the meantime, the instagram account, @jessieashhh will be inactive as long as this issue shall continue. I apologise for this matter.

On a brighter note, I am planning on doing a christmas series blogpost starting in december, so please look out for that!!! :)

If anybody may be of any help regarding my instagram difficulty, do comment below or reach me at any other of my social media sites. Xx
