All I Want For Christmas

I love giving presents, but I like self-gifting more. Ha! I mean- I know exactly what I want. (#yergetme). So in honour of that never-ending shopaholic's impulse I've put together some picks I'd like "Santa" to bestow upon me. (Or failing that, myself). Of course, these can also be potential prezzies for your lovely mum, sis, cuz or bezzie (#doublewin), so let's get choosing. First though, a quick mini summary of this outfit. It's comfy, it's cosy, it's ever so slightly Hygge and you can shop it below.

SHOP THE LOOK

Moving on to those all important (self) gifting ideas. Top of my list is always- and will always be- handbags. And Christmas is the ideal time to jump on a new one. Ain't gonna lie, I'm always drawn to a designer baby, but I've also found this amazing £11 bargain which is an exact copy of this super-beautiful original. Plus, there's this stunner that comes in just under that all important £300 mark. Shop my selection here-

BAGS

If it's something I'm obsessed with at the moment it's graphic tees. Obvs, I'd love to find this Gucci beauty (even if errrrry top fash-ho has it) under the Christmas tree, but I'm more likely gonna have to save for it myself. Shop my fave picks here-

GRAPHIC TEES

And, of course, Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without stocking fillers. When I was a kid as long as I got some chocolate money and an Enid Blyton box set I was happy. These days I'm always unfeasibly excited by make-up, perfume and some nice bed socks (Where my grannies at?) Here's my fave bits and pieces-

They say there's nothing new under the sun, particularly in fashion. What goes around definitely seems to come around, if you wait long enough. Enter stage left- the big earring revival. For the very longest time I've been wearing no earrings, or teeny tiny multiple studs (as I'm sure you have). Less- as is generally the case- has been more. Then a couple of seasons back Louis Vuitton came at us with the single statement earring. (Remember this from Nick Ghesquiere?). Since then, if you've wanted your ear furniture to look fresh, bigger has been better. Of course, Phoebe P has been right at the forefront of this earring hype- with her tassels earlier this year, her simple hoops for summer, and these amazing drop earrings for A/W. You've also probably seen Anissa Kermiche's incredible "fortune cookie" earrings on many a big-time blogger (like Queen C). Fortunately, there's a few dupes flying around for those of us with purses full of nowt but loyalty cards and old receipts. Topshop have got a version of the Céline hoops here. And H&M have only gone and did some drop earrings here. And my kinda sorta fortune cookie earrings are from Zara (they're not online- soz- but you should be able to find them in store). Are you ready to embrace some bold ear candy? Let me know x

MISSGUIDED X HONEYBELLE

When Missguided hit me up recently I was buzzing, to the say the least. I've got a lot of amaazzzzing pieces to show youse, but first up I need to share the most incred tie-front sweatshirt. This thing is a bae, let's be honest. It looks so sculptural and epic and on point. The only problem I have is like- WTF- I'm wearing a sweatshirt in June. *Cry Face* More soon x

Eats, Shoots, Sleeves

At the moment, the bigger the sleeve the better, for me. So there was no doubt in my mind that I had to have this top. I even went to two Zaras on Saturday (count 'em) to track it down. (#mildlydedicated) I've also been trying on Levis for a while now, desperate to find some that actually flatter and fit. New 501s just look so bad on me and basically make me want to book in for liposuction; so there was nothing for it but to hit up the vintage bit in Urban Outfitters last weekend. Yes they're overpriced, yes the sizing is a little cray (these ones are waist 31), but I love 'em. Oh and, I absolutely could not resist these cute little ballet flats when getting my shop-on either. Another pair of flat black shoes is deffo not what I need but Topshop's shoe game is just insanely tempting right now. Let me know your thoughts x
