I’ve always shopped at Joules for the children. Look closely and you’ll probably spot their distinctive mix of bright colours and bold patterns in many of my photos. At the risk of sounding like my mother, I appreciate the quality of their clothing and the fact much of it seems to be designed with the great outdoors in mind. Goodness knows that’s where Isabel and Jesse are happiest!
We’re holidaying in Dorset this week and they’ve already spent hours frolicking on blustery beaches, chasing waves and getting very wet! Their old welly boots have served them well and Jesse’s fleece lined coat has definitely helped protect him from the elements. 
While the kids are well kitted out for whatever the weather can throw at them, my own wardrobe is looking a little sparse. So far, all I’ve done to prepare for the inevitable cold snap is dig out my thick black coat and stock up on tights. At some point I’m going to have to trade in my peep toe clogs for something a little more practical.
After a spot of online window shopping, I’ve managed to compile a wish list of winter warmers that I simply cannot survive without. Joules has plenty of cosy layers and stylish knitwear to choose from, but it’s the simplest pieces I find myself lusting after the most, the well made cold weather staples that can be worn any number of ways. 
This cable knit jumper, a super soft denim dress and a blouse with a pretty Peter Pan collar are the objects of my desire. Classic Breton stripes and a flourish of bright red tartan check add just the right amount of pattern and interest.
I could go on and on, there’s plenty I’d like to bring home in a shopping bag! If something has taken your fancy, you might be interested to know that Joules are currently running a small campaign over on Instagram {@joulesclothing}. Simply share an image of your favourite Joules piece on your own account using the tag #MerryWishmas and you’ll be in with a chance of winning that item every week between now and Christmas. How exciting!
In the meantime, I really can’t resist that checked scarf any longer…
