Oh Baby, All I Want For Christmas is... ALL OF THIS!

Oh Baby, All I Want For Christmas


So here is my first, proper wishlist! For ages I had been chopping and changing between Tumblr and Blogspot and didn't know what would be best for my blog. I'm still quite a novice at blogging and have only just discovered Polyvore which can be used for fashion posts! (I know right, have I been living under a rock!?)I'm determined to make this blog successful! Keep those fingers crossed for me! 

(So, if we start from the top left and go clockwise...)

1) Alix Sequin Top Strappy Playsuit in Black - Missguided

I'm definitely going through a bit of a Missguided phase at them moment and I'm in love with most of their Christmas party gear! I've already bought myself a few dresses but I'm a bit of a magpie when it comes to sparkles and sequins. I instantly think "Christmas and NYE!"

2) Jimmy Choo - Eau De Parfum

I love getting new fragrances on Christmas and Birthdays. I can never really justify spending over £40 on a bottle of a sweet-smelling scent, so I always have my fingers crossed that someone (my boyfriend *cough*) gets all the hints I'm making... I've even showed him where he can get it on offer. Subtle right?

3)Great Gatsby Movie Blu-Ray

I saw this movie and totally fell in love with it. Baz Luhrmann is a total genius and I love the way he combined all the elements of a 1920's film with those from a modern-day classic. It might not be everyone's cup of tea but I was certainly spellbound.

4)Nike Junior Air Max Trainers - JD Sports

I'm in dire need of some decent trainers. I bought, what I thought were authentic vintage black Nike trainers on e-Bay a while back, but I soon realised I might've been fooled... They'll suffice as exercise trainers for now (ha, more like collecting dust) but I really want some proper trainers. I can use them to experiment with my style a bit, pair them with some high-waisted American Apparel jeans, crop top... you get the idea!

5) Morrissey's Autobiography - Waterstones

Since leaving University, I admit, I fell out of love with reading. It seems odd as I studied English Literature but I think I just got fed up with fiction and having someone tell you what you have to read. I guess I sort of rebelled, (ooooo so rebellious ha!) What I do love reading though are autobiographies/biographies of some of my favourite music artists and when I heard Morrissey was releasing one, this went to the top of my list! NME tells me there's a hardback version coming out on December 5th so I'm really hoping I get that! 

6) Pastel Pink Fluffy Coat - Topshop

It's the coat that's on everyone's wishlist, but Topshop have got this trend spot on. Every girl's wardrobes are certainly filling up with Winter pastels and I just love that it's a boyfriend coat too! They look like just the right amount of baggy. All my coats are vintage and seem to be treble the size of me which, at the time, was what I was going for but I think it's time for a new look. With its hefty looking price tag, I highly doubt I'll get this but it's always just nice to look at...

7) Black Tassel Loafers - Topshop

Brogues are my favourite type of shoe and my creepers are my go-to pair, so when I came across these Matrix tassel loafers sold in Topshop Oxford Circus, I fell in love! I'm really enjoying the platform trend at the moment as it means I can have a bit of height and not worry about falling over my own feet! In conclusion, I just think they would be very happy on my feet! I sound like a crazy shoe lady...

8) Baking Scales - House of Fraser

Since I've moved away from home, every time I've attempted baking I've had to search for cup measurement recipes as I still haven't bought any scales. For someone who likes to bake and eat a lot of cake, this is just embarrassing right?!

9) Alexa Chung's Autobiography, "It" - Urban Outfitters

Call me shallow, but the cover is pastel pink for a start! I'm totally judging a book by it's cover here... Appauling. I was also very intrigued by this book. With its mixed reviews and critics not being able to put a finger on why they like it/why they didn't like it, I thought I better take a look for myself. Hopefully this will beat my reader's block once and for all!

So there you have it Santa, better get that plastic out and start spendin'

Thank you for stopping by!
