With only a few weeks left till Christmas, I decided to put together a quick and easy 2 part christmas gift guide to spark up some ideas about what to buy for the ones closest to you. 

Now i'm not a big fan of christmas time, not as much as I use to be. I do however, love the look on other peoples face's when they open presents I have brought for them, especially my little cousins! Whether it's a best friend or family member here's a few gift ideas for lady who may or may not have everything, but deserves a special gift over the festive period! 

If you haven't read it already here's yesterdays post on christmas gift ideas for him !

SS13 Trend || Spotted

1. Monki Carrie shirt- £25.00, 2. New Look black and white polka dot midi skirt- £12.99, 3. Monki Nadia trousers- £20.00, 4. ASOS clutch bag with metallic spot- £25.00, 5. Topshop spot stretch crop tee- £10.00, 6. Topshop spot swing denim skirt- £30.00 

For me the polka dot/spotty trend is one of the easiest trends to style. I feel like this trend is perfect for those who are fashion lovers and who love to follow new trends, however never feel brave or confident enough to go out and buy into the trend. Polkadots are not really a 'new trend'. Polkadot /spotted clothing has continued to pop in and out of the 'fashionworld' and I kind of feel like to me black polkadots items are almost timeless pieces. As elegantly demonstrating in the image of the S/S13 chanel catwalk show a black polkadot pieces can be dressed up to look very elegant. They can also be dressed down for a everyday kind of look with a white t-shirt and leather jacket. Grey, black and white polkadot is almost the perfect trend for work wear in my option. 

How do you feel about polkadots/the polkadot trend?

Want of the Week || Stud Bracelet

ASOS Mega stud bracelet £15.00

I've seen quite a few spiked bracelets around recently including this New look spike cuff but I took a particular shine to this ASOS studded one as it is almost like two double stud bracelets put together and a lot less spikey (if you can call that a technical term). I thought this bracelet would be really nice to add a dramatic look to basic outfit, day or night. I really like the top that the model is wearing in this as well, might have to buy the duo haha. I also like the ASOS spike bracelet as well, at almost half the price of this stud one.

Have you spotted any similar spiked/studded bracelets ?

How to style 4#: Neon

Day Look: Dress Topshop, Waist Coat Topshop, Socks Topshop, Wedges Topshop.

Night Look: Dress Topshop, Necklace Miss Selfridges, Heels ASOS, Clutch American Apparel.

I absolutely adore neon this summer, whether it's a pop of neon or a statement piece, neon is a hit for the summer. Yet i've found neon a challenge to style. This is just an idea of how I might style neon switching the look from day to night. Additional accessories could be added in the day time look yet I wanted to keep it simple as the dress is such a bold item. The night look is actually inspired by Jennifer Lopez in her neon dress. I hope this look is helpful and let me know whether you prefer day to night looks or 3 different styled pieces.

Short and sweet post today as I have 6 assignments to do in the next 4 weeks mini panic. Quick update i've had my nose pierced since my last outfit of the day as you may be able to see, I really want a hoop in it but when I got it done I was told to let it heal for a while before changing the stud. Also, as you can see in the outfit post I have new longer hair extensions, now these were recommended to me by a close friend and so far so good I absolutely love them! They are super soft and thick yet still easy to maintain and these hair extensions are from foxy locks extensions if any one felt interested, I might also do a review/post about my hair extension if anyone was interested. please do let me know in the comment box.

I hope everybody is enjoying the bank holiday weekend !
