So as promised, here is my real birthday and Christmas list which contains stuff I actually have a chance of getting and I would realistically wear. My birthday was at the begining of December but I haven't seen most of my family to receive my presents yet, so I'm hoping that I will be needing a second suitcase to take all my new goodies back to Birmingham!
 |
| Faux fur collar | H & M | £12.99 I brought this coat last month and tried it on with the collar open with this collar over it. I very nearly brought the collar there and then but decided I would wait a couple of weeks until I got paid. Unfortunately since then I have had a few things to pay for and I've got less money coming in, so I'm hoping Santa will do me a festive favour and put it in my stocking (I've been a good girl this year, honest!) |
 |
| Sally sleeveless one shoulder skater dress | BooHoo | £15 I have a few skater dresses as I find them quite flattering and extremely versatile. The asymmetric style gives makes this one a little more interesting, but I can't decide which colour is my favourite - it also comes in mocha, berry and plum. |
 |
| Sword and Shield necklace | Versace for H & M | £14.99 I don't think there's much chance of me getting this unless any of family were willing to queue up for hours for an allocated 15 minutes shopping time to purchase it for me! BUT...I have had a sneak peak at part 2 of the collection. Loving the cute fruit print on this silk dress |
 |
| Andre wedge lace up boots | Topshop | £68 I am fully in love with these boots. The wedge means you don't have to sacrifice comfort for style, and they can be dressed up or down so if I get them for Christmas (all my fingers and toes are crossed!), they will rarely be off my feet. That's what I call an investment! |
 |
| Oatmeal fur trim beanie hat | Dorothy Perkins | £12 I had a similar hat from DP last year, but stupidly put it to the wash and now it is absolutley ruined! So I am hoping to replace it with this one, which is made slightly different by the cute fur bobble. |
 |
| Body chain | Dorothy Perkins | This is one of the few birthday presents I have already received (thanks lil sis!). I've wanted a body chain for a while but have been waiting to find THE ONE for me. After wearing this for the first time last night, I think this was the right choice, and it was only a fiver - nice one! |
 |
| Black spot mesh jumper | Dorothy Perkins | £26 This wooly pully is perfect for throwing on over a pair of leggings. Ultimate winter comfort! |
 |
| Seduction Scream charcoal shoe boots | Shoe Embassy | £55 I discovered Shoe Embassy a few months ago at Greenwich Market. I was sorely tempted by almost all of their shoes, but as usual, could not afford them :( I'm hoping they will be at Spitalfields Market tomorrow and if I see these bad boys there, I may have to treat myself as I'd say that's fate...wouldn't you? |
I'm loving all the body jewellery that's about at the moment. There seems to be some decoration for every single part of the anatomy! Above (l-r) are a Cross cuff rings bracelet (£12.50), a full arm drape bracelet (£14.00) and a hanging leg chain drape (£25.00), all by Freedom at Topshop.
 |
| Chain and feather side headband | Freedom at Topshop | £15 Channel your inner red indian with this gorgeous head piece! I've also been looking for some Indian head jewellery such as a tikka (worn here by Alicia Keys), but haven't found one that's quite right. Any suggestions welcome! |
 |
| Trapped tusk ring | Freedom at Topshop | As you can probably tell, I could post the whole Freedom at Topshop collection on here, but these are just a few of my favourite pieces. And this ring is now reduced to £3.75...bargain! |
 |
| Black and gold snake print leggings | Select | £8 I hadn't shopped in Select since I was about 15, but after a new one opened in Birmingham I though I'd better check it out (for research purposes of course!) I must say I was pleasently surprised and I advise you to check it out as well. I love these snake skin print leggings and at £8 I might have to get two pairs! Unfortunately the website has just crashed (probably the fault of my ancient laptop rather than Select) :( and I had so many more items to post from there. Ah well, I'll have to save them for next time :) |
 |
| Pearl and spike | Christina M. Boutique | £11.79 I discovered Christina M. the other day and I'm absolutely loving these pearl and spike earrings. Have a look at the rest of the collection here. |
I could go on and on but if I don't stop now I never will! I wanted to prove that you can still look good without having to spend a fortune, so I have kept all items as cheap as possible; slightly different from my last post eh!? I hope you've enjoyed reading my post and possibly taken some inspiration from it.
Thanks for reading x
