The November Lust List

Here I've put together a selection of goodies that I'd love to buy (or be given as a Christmas gift, hint hint)


A girl can never have too many LBDs and this sexy number, £29.99 from Missguided is guaranteed to get them queuing up under the mistletoe

Another perfect party piece is this beaded top, £38 from Lipsy. Team with jeans, shorts, shiny leggings or faux leather trousers for the ideal Christmas drinks look.

A glamorous outfit is not complete without a set of false eyelashes and this feathery pair from NYX at River Island should do the job. Who can resist that flutter?

Little Minx

I recently visited Dove Spa near Canary Wharf to spend some of the voucher that my lovely boyfriend bought me last Christmas. (I know, it's taken me ages to get round to using it)
I love fun nails so I opted for minx which involves having a heat activated coloured or patterned film stuck to your nails.

I wanted to go for a silver zebra print but this was only available for toes so I chose this two tone blue/purple effect. I was very pleased with them and would get them done again for a special occasion. They did start to peel off after 3 days and you must avoid hand dryers as the heat makes them come away from the nail but I would recommend them for a night out

Tell me about it stud

I am obsessed with studs (my inner rock chick again) and I like to wear them on clothes, shoes, belts jewellery and anything else!
For that reason I had to have this Forever 21 studded ring below

I can't remember exactly how much it was but I know it was around £3. It's a fab item for adding a touch of rock n roll to any outfit

I also recently bought these Kurt Geiger stud hair slides for £8 to have a bit of luxe in my life

Lavish Leopard

I noticed this leopard ring in Forever 21 last week and I just had to buy it. It cost under £4 and is a great way to buy into this season's trend for all things animal.

You can't see from the photo but the eyes are made from green jewels which will help you dazzle on the dancefloor.

I also picked up this gold studded bracelet which was also less than £4. I love studs and have the silver version but I thought I'd grab a gold one to wear with my other gold pieces.

Versace for H&M

This morning I thought I'd brave the crowds and try and get myself a piece of Donatella Versace's collection for H&M. I arrived at the Westfield H&M store at 9.05am and was given a wristband to return at 11.05 for my 10 minute slot. I managed to kill 2 hours in Starbucks, Boots and Forever 21 then queued up for my chance to own a piece of the much hyped collaboration.

When the time came everyone was rushing to grab their items so I quickly grabbed a scarf which was what I planned to buy anyway. I did consider buying a pair of diamanté leggings but as I'm on a budget it was either those or the scarf so I chose a palm tree and crocodile print silk scarf. I felt that I couldn't pull off most the of items of clothing as I'm not Lady GaGa but I'm sure there are people out there who will wear the prints with pride and incorporate them into their eclectic style.

The print on the scarf transports me to a tropical paradise but it is so versatile and will brighten up any outfit.

I couldn't fit the whole print in so I had to fold it in half but the print is the same as what is on the shopping bag. The scarf cost £25 which is reasonable for a silk Versace piece.

I might even keep the wristband as a souvenir! 

Twit Twoo

Add some animal magic to your wardrobe with these adorable owl earrings. They cost a bargain £1 from Primark which is cheaper than most magazines!

Charity Shop Treasure

I don't normally look in charity shops as I'm a sucker for brand new items, but I thought I'd give it a try. Today I browsed Oxfam in Hampstead as charity shops in more affluent areas tend to have better items for sale. There was a lovely Burberry coat but at £199 it was over my budget so I picked up this bargain YSL clutch bag. Ok, so it's meant to be a make-up bag but if you don't tell anyone I won't!

It cost just £5.99 and the leopard print logo is very on trend. I love the felt texture of the bag and it is big enough for all of my night out essentials. I will definitely check out charity shops more often now.
