my christmas wishlist..

I cant believe christmas is just around the corner, its only about 47 days or something and if you tell me that doesn't excite you I'm sorry but you must be mad!

I get excited every year around September/October time even though it gets pretty boring on the actual day (not being ungrateful, just don't have family that come round!) but i love the build up, the cold snuggly weather and turning the christmas music on and getting the tree up and decorated!

Anywaay, i made a little wishlist of a some things i would quite like for christmas..

George (Asda) light pink hooded dressing gown £14; i've already seen this in my mums wardrobe (hehe oops) but i get a new dressing gown every year as i grow out of them so quickly, and this one has a hood!

UV nail lamp; this is to help with my nail art and acrylic nails as they take aaaages to dry on their own!

Make-up Brushes; i don't mind what make these are but i could do with some good quality make up brushes this year

Kate Moss-Lilabelle perfume; I got this for christmas last year and it has just run out but i absolutely LOVE it, it smells so pretty and lush, even if i don't get this for christmas i will definitely re-purchase it in the new year

Jessie J Nice to Meet you; Jessie J is one of my all time favourite singer performers i just think she is so talented and down to earth, my best friend told me she would get me this book for christmas and i cant wait to read it !!

Black Suede Heel-less heels (Sculpted heels); I was going to get some for prom but they were over £30 and with my dress being £300 it was a major no no and i didn't think i'd last in them as they look fairly uncomfortable.. oh how i was wrong. I went into town with my mum at the weekend and we both tried some similar on and they were surprisingly comfy as heels go, no different to any other shoes and less pressure on the heels of your feet


This is my christmas list, what are you hoping for? Also, the book i won by Jenny Colgan arrived 2 days ago and i've started reading it already, thank you Helen from 'fragile bird'. Enjoy your week

winter knits..

Seeing as though the colder, wetter months have started to make an appearance lately, it's time to start getting into all things warm and snuggly. I'm ill at the moment because i haven't been wrapping up enough because summery stuff looks better than winter clothes, but thats not quite true! i am currently looooving the knitted jumper range spread across a variety of shops; the colours, patterns, prints and material is just perfect for the cold. So today i thought it would be nice to share a few of my fave jumpers this autumn with you...

50 shades of Autumn

When we think of Summer being over, most of us will automatically think of the dull and gloomy weather, cold and rain and the nights getting darker earlier.

But Autumn is such a good season for you to style up your winter clothes, because its between the winter months and summer, any colour goes! I'll be getting into my snuggly jumpers and thick leggings early this year as England is aaalways cold.

Here's my Autumn wish list

Creepers- Matalan £12, Bowler hat-Ebay under £6, Burgundy thick jumper- H&M £12.99, Essie Mint Apple Candy nail varnish, Turquoise ring- H&M £3.99, Leopard Print Chelsea boots- Matalan £10 on offer now

Creepers have crept their way throughout each season of 2012 and are still such a big statement of most peoples wardrobes and at £12 as to your usual £30+ its a real steal.

I think the bowler hat is such a cute touch to nearly all outfits from thick tights with a dress too denim shorts and a jumper.

Thick cable knit jumpers are a must have in the cold days of winter which is why i have chosen a dark Burgundy coloured jumper even though for some reason it makes me get oober excited for Christmas 4 months early!

The Essie Mint Candy Apple is a really pretty colour which everyone seems to be loving right now, Its an easy option to brighten up a dark outfit and the name makes me want to eat it..

 This turquoise Tribal ring is a gorgeous piece that i have wanted something similar too for ages, i never really saw the fuss of rings and thought them to be annoying but they are such a good way to jazz up any outfit if you arent wearing any other jewellery.

Chelsea boots were in at the beginning of the year but not so many picked people up on them, but i've suddenly decided that they would be great to add 'casualness' to a sixth form outfit and are such a simple style coming in so many different colours and patterns!

So that's what i'll be keeping my eye out for in the next few months whilst CHRISTMASS!!! draws nearer!

Hope everyones having a good day! I've had the toughest day of my life today due to my dog being put to sleep (sleep tight tasha, lots of loveee) but am keeping my chin up as shes no longer in pain!

What will your Summer to Autumn wardrobe consist of? Any specific colour range?
