As soon as I set eyes on these beautiful nude Carvela heels, I KNEW they had to be mine. Half price and in my size too! The postman kindly delivered them yesterday and I've fallen head over heels in love...

Shoe Heaven - Hello Kurt Geiger Sale!
I'm not usually one for an impulse buy or a rash purchase, but on the evening of Christmas day I was fully captured and wholly consumed by a few of the fabulous online sales; there was one particular sale that I was drawn to more than any other - the Kurt Geiger shoe sale.

Generous Mr. Clause
Ok so I promised a post detailing a few of my 2011 christmas presents, and here it is!!
Once again massive apologies for my shambolic photography - I have no idea how to work my mum's SLR and was in a bit of a rush to take the pictures before she cottoned on to the fact I'd 'borrowed' her precious and expensive camera. I also didn't get round to taking the pictures until Boxing day; at this point I'd already taken the labels off a few things and been for a walk in my new Ugg boots!
I have an absolute shopoholic/spendaholic of a mother so she tends to go a little overboard at Christmas time, leaving me feeling rather spoilt, but loved all the same.
Anyway, here are a few of my beautiful gifts...

Anyway, here are a few of my beautiful gifts...
 |
| Clinique Dramatically Different Moisterizer - an absolute godsend. I've been literally scraping out last years' pot for the last couple of months, I love it! |
 |
| Hunter Fleece Welly Socks - to compliment my pair of discounted Hunter wellies I purchased earlier this year. |
 |
| TOWIE Boxset (I am a not-so-closet lover of trashy TV), Bridemaids DVD (hilarious) and Amy Winehouse's new album which I've already listened to and absolutely love - going straight in the car I think! |
 |
| Possibly my favourite gifts - a MAC Lipstick and a MAC surf-baby bronzer. Need that glow in the current climate! |
 |
| My favourite scent at the minute - Carolina Herrena '212 On Ice'. Very hard to get at this time of year but Santa obviously found a way! (Amazon) |
 |
| A girl can never have too many bags. An ALDO shopper on the left and a Warehouse clutch on the right. Both are gorgeous and will go with pretty much anything. |
 |
| A personalised cushion made by my very own Mother <3 Pink enough and girly enough for a 10 year old but I don't care! |
 |
| An engraved ring that says 'love conquers all things'. I chose this myself and I love it because of the sentimental value. |
 |
| Chocolate UGGs. Had two pairs previously and pretty much lived in both of them. Chocolate colour came on sale on ASOS a while back and I made sure Santa knew about it! |
 |
| Not Vivienne Westwood, but a similar style - and who's going to ask. Going to save these statement earrings for night time outfits I think! |
 |
| A cute bedroom sign |
 |
| Another much-loved product that I've been running out of of late. I've tried both Fake Bake's lotion tanner and mousse and while they are both great, I personally prefer the mousse for a lighter, more even coverage. |
 |
| More 'girly bath shit'. Princess bubble bath, shampoo, body wash and cleanser, fairly boring. |
 |
| A surprise but I really like this. Anew from Avon's foaming cleanser. Very fresh and moisterizing. |
 |
| A selection of Boots' Body Butters. Absolutely love body butter at this time of year and each of these smells divine. |
 |
| A Tog 24 thermal hat and an FCUK snood. Both extremely useful for chilly Forest matches and bitter walks up to Uni in January. |
 |
| Fat Face Pajama shorts. I'm yet to even try these on as my poor pins can't quite face being exposed around the house. Give it two months however and I'll be living in these babies! |

All I Want For Christmas...
With only 18 sleeps till Christmas I'm getting extremely over-excited about what could be under the tree this year!! Here's 10 things I hope Santa will bring me...
1) MAC Lipstick: Pretty Please
It was a really tough choice between two shades, 'Frou' I also love which is more of a pale bronze than a pale pink. I'll save that for summer when I'm not so pasty white.
Pretty Please is a pretty pale pink with a lustre finish... a perfect pale shade for frosty winter days!!
2) Short Chocolate Ugg Boots
I LIVE in Ugg Boots, I would probably sleep in them If I could! I do have a pair of grey ones but they're becoming a little too worn now after having them for 2 years. Chocolate should go with everything and keep my feet toasty, January in the North can be pretty upsetting! ASOS have good deals on UGG boots and accessories so it's worth keeping your eyes peeled on their website!
3) Topshop High Waisted Jeans
Every girl needs a good pair of jeans and who better than Topshop to provide them! Quite a bargain at £40 as they will definitely last for a long time; the colour shouldn't fade and the knees shouldn't go baggy (unlike many shop jeans I've had in the past) Skinny jeans are a style staple and I'm going for high waisted so I can wear them with cute tops tucked in!
4) Aldo Stellfox Tote Bag
Dressed up for work or down for Uni, this ALDO beauty should suit any occasion. It's a nice size in that it's big enough for Uni books or my laptop but not too big if I want to take it to work with a lunchbox and a few pens in. Wipeable too which also comes in handy when you live in Leeds!
5) FakeBake Tanning Mousse
Call me vain but my poor skin hasn't seen sun for 4 months and I feel like something out of the Adams family. FakeBake is the best product out there in my opinion, and I've used a fair few tanning products in my time! I've also tried the Airbrush and the Lotion but the Mousse, in my opinion, is the best for a streak-free and natural look. You can get this for around £20 (or cheaper if you trust Ebay!)
7) JellyBelly Jelly Beans
I have a ridiculously sweet tooth and defy anyone to finish a bag of Haribo before me! JellyBelly Jelly Beans are incredible and I cannot get enough of them at the minute! They also do a natural range with no added colours or preservatives for those who are being careful (but who cares it's christmas!). You can usually find them in TKMaxx for severly discounted prices.
8) Lioness: Hidden Treasures - Amy Winehouse CD
'Back to Black' was probably my favourite album brought out in the last 10 years and unlike many of my other played-out CD's I still listen to it even now. I'm already in love with 'Our Day Will Come' and 'Like Smoke feat. Nas' and I can't wait to hear what else Amy had in store for us. A definite must-buy.
9) Dorothy Perkins' Heels
At only 5ft 3 heels are an essential for me on a night out. Dorothy Perkins has been my heels' provider for a while now; they provide (quite) comfortable shoes at reasonable prices. These glittery ones are just beautiful and would go perfectly with a black dress, a possible option for New Year I think! They retail at a fab £36 or even less with a student discount, I hope Santa has an NUS card!
10) The health and happiness of everyone I love
SO so cheesy I know, but Christmas is about much more than a good meal and the exchanging of gifts. The best thing about Christmas should be spending time with your nearest and dearest; there's rarely another time of year we get to spend with the ones we care most about...I can't wait to spend some quality time with mine!
