My Christmas Wishlist

Is it just me or is Christmas really coming early this year? I know I say it every year, but with only 2 more weeks of college before the holidays, I really don't know where the time has gone!

So that said, I think it's definitely time to start planning my Christmas wishlist.

1. A Fur Coat

Every year I say 'this is the year I'm going to buy myself a fur coat.' However, they're expensive and I always end up buying loads of little bits instead of one. These fab fur coats are available on ASOS.com, ranging from €110-€250. While I know it's quite pricy, it is an investment, and something you'll hold onto for years.

2. Michael Kors Purse.

This has been on my Christmas list for far too long now, and with a Michael Kors store opening up in Dundrum, hopefully this will be the year to get it.

3. Plum Lippy

Adore this plum colour this season, especially when it's Chanel.

4. Hair Extensions

I had blonde hair extensions before, from Sally's Salon Services, in Limerick, which lasted me ages. However I've heard that the hair extensions on Moore Street, Dublin are excellent. It's real hair, so the quality is top notch. I'm going to get rid of my balayage, and dye my hair a darker brown.

5. This H&M Blazer

Spotted it today in H&M, for just €29.95. The picture doesn't even do it justice! It's beautifully tailored and fits like a glove. Pair it with a cream pussy-bow blouse and a pair of high-waisted black jeans for a look which can be worn on a shopping trip with the girls, or throw on a pair of heels and go for coctails! 

6. A Festive Jumper

 

I'm dying to get my hands on a Christmas jumper from Funky Jumpers on South William Street. And if they're good enough for Tommy Bowe, they're good enough for me! Yum...

7. Nice Gloves

All of the above are from Topshop.

8. A Pair of Ankle Boots

Ankle boots are everywhere this season, especially the ones with the cut-out sides. I adore these Topshop booties, perfect for wearing them to college, or on a night out. I love them with an over-sized shirt, a pair of tights and a satchel .

9. A New Dress for a wedding.

Stephen and I are going to a New Year's Eve wedding, which is a black tie event. Obviously due to recessionary times, and with me being jobless, I've been thinking of cheaper alternatives to buying a really expensive dress that I'm only going to wear once or twice. So then I thought of Starla, a dress rental shop on South William St. I adore Starla's collections, and the idea of renting a dress is far more appealing, especially for events like weddings, Christmas parties, New Year's Eve etc. Above is just a taster of some of the ones I love.

10. A double scull cuff.

I've seen them worn by a couple of A-List Celebs recently and I think they're fab. While they are expensive, and available to buy for €30 in Starla, you can find far cheaper on eBay and Amazon!

So that's it for my Santa list...friends and family, take note!
