'12 THINGS I LOVE' GIFT GUIDE

13.12.16

My favourite time of year is well under way and the festivities have definitely began!
I've been super busy and have been lucky enough to go on two holidays recently, and even done lots of shopping in New York! But, that means whilst shopping I've always seen some really beautiful and amazing things that I just love! So I thought I'd collect these together in a blog post for you of 'things I love' that could maybe give you some gift ideas for your friends or even some Christmas outfit options for the festive party season.

My favourite things right now!
I spotted these incredible boots in RI when the AW16 Collections came out and I've had my eyes on these for ages and now they're in the sale for only £25. They are super bold but I think they're ideal for the festive season with a party dress or dressed down with black jeans and a wooly jumper.

As you guys probably know far too well by now, I am pug obsessed.
I've been eyeing-up Fenella Smith's Pug design homeware collection for ages and I really hope to own the complete collection one day as it's just sooo me!

In 2016 I definitely fell in love with eyeshadows. I've never really worn them before but after collecting a few palettes this year, I've become a huge fan.
This totally adorable and affordable palette from NYX has every shade I love in it and for only £16 is an absolutely must have!


I came across Cluse watching when I was searching for a watch for my boyfriend back in September, I'd never heard of them! They're quite similar to Olivia Burton and Daniel Wellington watches as they have similar faces and lots and lots of styles. However, I'm particularly in love with this mixed metal watch with rose and silver detail, I think it's so simple it's just totally perfect, and they are really quite prices for stylish watches.

When in New York in November I took a trip to Sephora (I mean.. It's kinda a must right?) and found my dream fragrance. I'm a huge perfume whore and have far to many, but it's something I like to collect and switch up every now and again. I'd never really considered Elizabeth and James as fragrance brand before, however if it wasn't for the lovely man forcing it under my nose I would've never known! I've fallen in love with the Nirvana Rose scent from E&J as it's just the perfect balance of floral. It wouldn't be everyones favourite choice however, I absolutely love it!

As a huge fan of Tanya Burr Cosmetics I couldn't wait to get my mits on her latest lipstick release. However, trying to find the shade 'Pink Cocoa' is proving difficult as the collection favourite.
So, this is definitely top of my stocking filler list this Christmas!

I've been on the lookout for a fur lined parka for what feels like forever. Little did I know that Missguided sold the perfect one. This blue lined parka is completely perfect and soo me.

It's fair to say I'm obsessed with my dog, Arla. She is literally my best friend, we do everything together. I actually think I now spend more on treats and clothes for her, than I do myself.
So these awesome idea from Friendship Collar is super cute and unique.
What an awesome gift idea for dog & cat lovers?

Velour Liquid Lipstick in 'Designer Blood' by Jeffree Star Cosmetics - Beauty Bay | £16.00
I've become a huge Jeffree Star fan recently after discovering his YouTube Channel which I totally love! His cosmetics brand has become one I want to own every item from especially his liquid lipsticks. He's recently revealed his Christmas collection of which contains the most beautiful dark red liquid lip called 'Designed Blood'. A deep red matte lip is ideal for Christmas time and I would absolutely love to receive this lipstick in my stocking this year, and I'm sure any beauty addict would too.

Mini Desk Calendar & Keyboard Pad - BusyB | £7.98
When I work I scribble and doodle all the time! I'm always in need of a pad especially when I'm at my computer as I end up scribbling on ripped pieces of scrap paper, and I'm forever using my iPhone Calendar for date references. This is where this adorable dog themed Saver Set from BusyB would come in hand and is the perfect stocking filler!

Magazine Subscription - Blogosphere Magazine | from £25.00
If you're a Blogger or interested in the Blogging world then Blogosphere Magazine will be your bible. After they recently revealed their Christmas cover with Zoella I felt I needed to get my paws on every issue from here after. They can be quite difficult to source in shops so receiving a yearly subscription delivered to your house could be the best gift this Christmas and one I'd totally love to receive.
