My Christmas Wish List

This year will be my first christmas as an adult. Don't get me wrong growing up is a blast, you have more freedom, you start to discover who you are and you are more independent than ever. However when asked what I wanted for christmas from friends or family I was stumped, all I could think of was money for books, food, going out etc. However through deep consideration I have compiled a wish list of things that would be good to find under my tree or maybe even things I can purchase with christmas money. feel free to ask for some of these yourself or grab them in the christmas sales! 

Nike Air Max 

After trying a pair on in urban outfitters I instantly fell in love. They are unbelievably comfy and look so cool too. Due to the raised platform they make your legs look long and slim and you can dance all night. I am a big fan of raves which is at least 6 hours of non stop dancing so this will be perfect for them. They aren't the cheapest of shoes but they are durable so will last a long time. This is my favourite pair I have found so far but I am still scouting. This are in office  and retail at £94.99 which is cheaper than getting them from nike themselves. There are so many different designs to choose from and the prices vary for all but I cannot recommend these enough and definitely will be grabbing a pair in January. 

Marc by Marc Jacobs Holographic Wallet

I actually stole this idea from my housemate who loves all things holographic and has converted me. This purse is gorgeous and can brighten up an everyday outfit and add a bit of shine to a dull day. The downfall is it retails at £140 on Net-A- Porter. However fear not I have found a dupe at river island...

It may not be the real deal but it does retail at a mere £15. This means you can have a holographic purse and have more money in it. This is definitely on my christmas list, may be pushing it to add the Marc Jacobs one. But this can be in almost anyones budget even i it means not going out one week it will be worth it for when you do and get compliments on your new purse. 

Fairy Lights

Yes, fairy lights. My room in my house share isn't the largest of rooms and my 2014 mission is to make it somewhere I can relax, blog, do uni work. One of the things I have wanted in my room since I was young is fairy lights. With my room being so small fairy lights will make it cosy and brighten up the place. I am yet to find the perfect set so if anyone knows anywhere or even sells them themselves let me know. 

I think that is the three main things. I can finally start feeling christmasy now my fashion moment deadline is complete. I look forward to drinking hot choc, wrapping presents and watching Elf. Hope everyone is feeling a little christmasy now too, seeing as its only 2 weeks away! Where has this year gone!?

Stay cool

Club Dos and don't

Hello,

As you know I turned 18 in March and went out almost every weekend  for about 5 weeks. I have curbed it now though as I cant afford it and it is just not good for your body to go out all the time. ANYWAY when you do go out here is my top tips.

• Wear Comfortable shoes.

This is the most important thing! Your night will be 10x better if you're comfortable. When you're drunk you are obviously a lot more wobbly as well so if you are wearing 10 inch stilettos there is a high chance you will end up hurting your ankle or falling over. I wear flats almost all the time I go out now, or if I feel like wearing heels I go for the wedges route. Here is some good places to get stylish flats and wedges.

1. Topshop £20
2. Topshop £15 (on sale)
3. Office £35 (On Sale)
4. Newlook £24.99
5. Newlook £14.99
6. Newlook £24.99

• Bring a coat/Jacket

So many people walk to clubs freezing, or stand in the que freezing, there is no reason to do that. Just bring a coat/Jacket and put it in the cloakroom! It is only £1.80 in my local club which is cheaper than a drink anyway. There are some really nice jackets out right now:

All three of theese are from river island

1. £50
2. £65
3. £60

Primark also have some really nice jackets at the moment and for a lot cheaper, so check them out.

• Be Equipped

First of all you need a bag that isn't too big or small. It would also be good to have a strap aswell, so if you want a clutch try and get one with an attachable strap. This is so you have your hands free to dance or hold your drink.

1. £18 River Island
2. £28 Dorothy Perkins
3. £14.99 Newlook

Next is what you should carry in your bag:

Tissues- incase there is no loo roll! ShopJeen $2

Plasters- Incase you get a blister, or have a drunken injury. $5 ShopJeen

Hand Sanatiser- Incase the sinks are crowded from girls touching up their makeup. $6 ShopJeen

Cash- Bring out enough cash for drinks and travel and don't bring your bank card. Seriously you will thank me for this. We all do it, get drunk and think it will be an excellent idea to spend all our money. This is not a great idea and it means the morning after not only are you hungover you also have a very poor looking bank statement. 

That is the essentials covered I may do another post shortly on good outfits for clubbing and where to get them.

Stay Cool
