All I want for Christmas.

Its christmas so soon and i am so excited! My mum told me to give her a list of what I wanted! I think I took it a bit too far with the amount that I wanted so I'll just show you my 2 favourite items on my christmas wish list.





1. These leopard print pumps are from urban outfitters and they are £38. Its probably more than I would usually pay for a pair of pumps but I just think they are soo cute, and it is christmas after all.











2. I love this Tartan cape, its from ASOS and its only £18.50 which is pretty good. It goes would go well with some jeans and a plain top with some cute accessories.

Aztec and Tribal Trends


Over the past few months I have seen loads of aztec and tribal prints and designs and I love it! From dresses to leggings and accessories, the trend is everywhere. The bright patterns are fun and can really add to an outfit and the more subtle prints create a rustic kind-of look. 

Here are some of my favourite accessories that I found on the Urban Outfitters website. I really, really want the gold ring with the blue stone at the bottom although its a little bit more expensive than the other ones at £95.



Some more aztec and tribal images






Love these tribal Burberry beaded heels!




Pretty Things

I love jewellery and pretty little things and I've seen so many things I want recently.  


I came across www.zarataylor.co.uk when I was trying to find the 'love heart- peace' earrings that Millie Macintosh wore in 'Made in Chelsea.' I wanted them for so long and now I have finally found them, hopefully someone lovely will buy me them for christmas. They are only £12.99 so they're not too expensive!



Here are some other pieces by Zara Taylor that I really like.

Another place I love to buy jewellery from is Junk Jewels which i discovered at the clothes show in Birmingham last year. Their cute, vintage style necklaces, bracelets and earring look special but they are all reasonably cheap.

Photo shoot

Here are the photos from my groups photo shoot we did for our years fashion magazine at uni. We chose the Tribal theme as it is very on trend this season and we found the perfect location. It was shot at Burn O' Vat which is just outside aberdeen. The location fitted the theme really well and in we were all extremely pleased with the final photos. The pictures were then edited and put together to make a fashion spread for the magazine.


Here are some of the photos before they have been edited.

Alexa Chung/ Vero Moda


Alexa Chung has recently become the face of Vero Moda's Autumn/Winter collection which will be coming to UK stores in December and I'm very excited. Having Alexa as the face of the campaign is definitely going to increase the brands status and popularity as she is such a style icon! She's always at the top of the best dressed lists and her individual, quirky, girlie persona fits in perfectly with the brands image. The collection combines lots of delicate, feminine fabrics with cute details using sequins, buttons and ribbon. Personally I think this collection is set to be a winner!



Peter Pan Collars


Peter Pan Collars are the ultimate accessory this season if you want to add that little something to an outfit. These detachable collars just look like part of the garment, so you can wear them with a range of different tops or dresses and it adds the perfect finishing touch.

You can buy this amazing collar at louloulovesyou.com and it will cost you £100. This is definitely a statement piece and will dramatically transform a simple t-shirt or a classy evening dress into something really special.



Gemma Lister has a wonderful range of collars to add to both day and night time outfits. The round collars and embellishments in her designs create a cute and feminine but striking look.

This Gemma Lister rhinestone collar is available for ASOS.com and its £75.


I am in LOVE with this gold metal Louis Vuitton collar! It's one of my favourites, just because its so simple and sleek. When styled with black clothing and other gold accessories (like in the picture below) it really looks amazing and completes the outfit perfectly!

Versace for H&M

Top designer Versace has teemed up with high-street store H&M to create a new collection. H&M have previously colaberated with designers such as Jimmy Choo but i think this collection is the most exciting. The minute you see the collection its easy to recognise the Versace essence with the use of bright colours and prints and daring cuts to show off the female figure. I must admit some of the pieces do look quite cheap but there are some of the clothes are great.  The collection comes into shop on the 17th of November, so get saving!

These are a few of my favourite pieces! 





Many celebrities turned up to the launch wearing items from the collection. Blake Lively, Nicki Manaj, Jessice Alba, Emma Roberts and Donatella Versace herself pictured below.

Glitz and Glamour


Sequins and glitter are the perfect way to make an outfit special and to add a festive look to an outfit. It seems to be everywhere at the moment, not only for night time looks but also to add a bit of sparkle to day time outfits.

So I thought it was about time I bought some! I got this gold sequin top that I absolutely love! It was £45 from top, which is probably more than I’d normally spend but it was definitely worth it. I can wear it on a night out with a little black skirt or wear it with jeans and a blazer for a more casual look.

I was looking at Jenny Packham's autumn/winter collection and I though it was amazing. She uses a lot of sequins and jewels in many of her pieces along with delicate fabrics which create a really feminine and glamorous look! I really want one of her dresses! Somehow I don't think I ever could afford it!

A definite must have for the winter season is a pair of sparkly shoes and I've seen so many fabulous pairs both designer and high-street.







These Miu Miu boots have been in almost every magazine recently and have been a huge hit in the fashion world. They have an unusual shape with their curved heel with a peep toe and there are a few different colour variations. As amazing as they are amazing they will set you back about £600.



Although there are a few cheaper pairs that are very similar. Everyone can admit that both these pairs don't look very different from the original, more expensive pair! So is there really any point in paying more?

Hope you all enjoyed,
