K's Christmas WishList

Apologies for our short break in blog posting, it's been a busy few months! But we're back and will be posting weekly on our top picks, favourite items, products, tips and so much more.

It's almost that time of year again and I can just about hear those sleigh bells in the distance. So here's a few products I think everyone deserves on their wish list this holiday season...

 1. Diptyque Advent Calendar, £250

Inside are a selection of 25 mini candles, fragrances and body oils,  to keep you going for this holiday season!

2. Navy Fluffy Disk Keyring from Topshop, £6.50

This has to be one of this season's must have accessories, whether it's a keyring or on the end of a shoe, everybody loves a pom pom!

3. Water and Glitter iPhone 6 Case from Urban Outfitters, £20. 

Tis the season to be Sparkly! 

                                             

4. NAILSINC Snowglobe(£15) and Winter Lights (15). Just because we can't get enough of the glitter.

5. Dual-Intensity Blush - Vengeful from Nars Cosmetics, £25.50. The perfect way to give you skin a healthy glow for festivities. 

6. Last but not least, Benefits So Tintillating Makeup set, with Benetint Cheek and Lip Stain and Benebalm Lip Balm. An alternative to the previous selection if you prefer liquids to powders.

Faux Fur Fashion

Faux Fur has undoubtedly made a comeback this season, with thousands of fashion junkies trying to get their hands on a fur keyring, clutch or winter coat. But why has everyone all of a sudden gone faux crazy? That's easy to answer...Shrimps! No not the little prawn creature you pop into your chow mien, Shrimps, a small label that sells brightly coloured faux fur products that dominated the Autumn/Winter fashion weeks, even though they themselves did not host their own show. These coats were everywhere, and have got highstreet shops going fur mad. All of the biggest celebs seemed to be modelling these vibrant furry coats and bags, and have the papers going absolutely mad over Hannah Weiland and Shrimps. I am a massive supporter of this trend and am dying to get my hands on as much faux fur as I possibly can. These accessories have given life to the winter period, stomping on our old khaki trench and saying 'hey, why does winter have to be all about the dark sludgy colours?'. This look is essentially the Autumn/Winter version of last Summers Avant Garde all black look. 

If you haven't already seen some of these luscious products, here's a few snaps... 

Being a student I know that as much as it pains me, I can't afford any items from the Shrimps range, but being the bargain hunter I am have searched for a few places that a selling their own version of these crazy must-haves. 

These two are personal favourites of mine from MakeItFancyLondon. All their items can be seen on their Instagram account - @CHLOWEBB01

These are Asos own, just two of their many products online

And last but not least, this furry keyring is just £12.50 from spoiledbrat.co.uk !
