Have Yourself A Sparkly Little Christmas

What better way to get into the Christmas spirit than to cover yourself head to toe in glitter (don’t worry, I don’t mean literally)? Sparkly clothes, shoes, makeup and hair accessories are the perfect way to dress for the occasion and to add to this, I thought a nice gold, green or red glitter nail varnish would be the perfect finish, that, was until I saw the price tag of the fabulous OPI range. Now, I’m not a snob or anything but when it comes to glitter, you can’t buy cheap without it looking cheap, so after seeing one of my friends with the OPI gold glitter nail varnish I had to have it.

Walking through Asda, at which point I was still not the proud owner of some glitter nail varnish, I spotted some tubes of glitter for just a pound and in the perfect colours, gold, green and red (and pink for when you’re not feeling as festive). I’m hardly the most creative person but I was soon reminded that I had these exact same colours in normal nail varnish so why not add the glitter myself? I can honestly say it’s the best idea I have ever had and is the greatest way to get a chunky glitter effect without spending a fortune. Just look at the results:

Feeling Festive?

Unlike every other store on the high street, Topman and Urban Outfitters do not need to cover their stores in tinsel and baubles to let everyone know its nearly christmas. Why? Because of their beautiful range of christmas jumpers that greet you as you walk through the door. Of course, the name ‘christmas jumper’ doesn’t necessarily mean a bright red knit with Rudolph on the front, yes I am referring to Colin Firth in Bridget Jones’ Diary. Today, a christmas jumper can come in any shape and form, more commonly being a fairisle knit involving a few reds or greens.

Topman.co.uk have a fantastic selection, the perfect gift for an unwilling boyfriend. Just look at these beauts:

Urban outfitters have also done themselves proud in the festive department, managing to sly the odd reindeer onto the jumper without turning it into something only your nan would buy.

These are even perfect for women, as there doesn’t seem to be much of a choice for us out there in the women’s departments.

So, whether you’re buying for yourself or a loved one, I would definitely recommend Topman and Urban Outfitters to get you in the festive spirit. If you’re buying for yourself and a loved one however, please be sure not to get matching ones. We don’t wanna embarrass them too much do we?

Bargain of the week

I couldn't believe my eyes as I strolled into H&M in Westfield and saw this little beauty staring at me, with a noticable price tag of just £9.99. So it should be no surprise that this my bargain buy of the week, infact it could be the bargain buy of the month as it has now gone down to just £3.99 in the sale, £3.99!!!! (Please ignore the awful lace gloves, I can definitely say this is not how I would advise to wear it)

Lets just hope it fits!
