Christmas Bucket List

So today I've decided to do a bucket list just for Christmas, I'm sure you have heard of a bucket list but for people that haven't its basically a list of things you want to do by a certain time. Most people do a bucket list of things they want to do before they die and I will also be doing one of these throughout my blog. But for this post I'm going to write a bucket list just for Christmas. 

Here is my bucket list: 

1. Go Ice-Skating.

2. Go out and get very drunk. 

3. Watch the classic Christmas movies such as; Home Alone, Elf, Santa Claus Movie, etc. 

4. Make plans for New Years Eve.

5. Get all my Christmas shopping done before 23rd December (I have a habit of leaving it til last minute).

6. Bake some Christmas cookies and cakes. 

7. Spend as much time with my boyfriend, friends & family. 

8. Go late night Christmas shopping. 

9. Decorate the house ready for Christmas. 

10. Enjoy Christmas and eat loads.

What are the things you want to do this Christmas? Do you have a bucket list?

Must Have

Just a small post about a pair of boots that I love and I would say they are a must have!

Now I'm sure you have all seen these amazing boots!! I love them and although the real boots are a lot of money, you can get some copies which look just as good and for a much better price. 

They do these boots in suede or leather and they look great, you can also get them with studs which of course is a fashion must have this season.

These boots can be worn on a night out with a dress or even for a more casual day to day look with a pair of jeans. They are great with anything and add a great style to your outfit. 

I found these boots online on Ebay starting from £18.99 which is a great price for a pair of boots. I love them. 

What do you think? What are your must haves this season?

Tag - This or That

So I saw this tag and thought I'd give it ago to give you more of an idea of what I prefer in different areas.

MAKEUP

Blush or Bronzer- 100% bronzer I love it, it adds definition to your cheek bones.

Lipgloss or Lipstick- It has to be lipstick as I love it. You can get so many colours.

Eyeliner or Mascara- Um I actually have to say both as I always wear them both together.

Foundation or Concealer- Probably concealer.

Neutral or Coloured Eyeshadow- Both as I love a neutral look and I love smokey eyes.

Pressed or loose eyeshadows- Pressed is so much easier to work with.

Brushes or Sponges- Brushes!!!

NAILS

OPI or China Glaze- I am yet to try both but will let you know once I have.

Long or Short- Long, I love fake nails and I love them long!

Acrylic or Natural- Always fake I love them!

Long or Short Sleeves- This time of year long, but love short in Summer.

Dresses or Skirts- Dresses I have so many and some I haven't even wore.

Stripes or Plain- Plain, it can be more sophisticated.

Flip flops or Sandals- Sandals as I really don't like flip flops. 

Scarves or Hats- I love knitted hats.

Studs or Dangly Earrings- Both it depends what outfit your wearing.

Confession No.2

So confession number 2, I wonder what it could be.

Ummm a secret crush, another addiction or maybe even something I've done. 

Well lets find out!

Okay, so this confession is something I never thought I'd confess too! I hate to admit it and as a 20 year old young lady I really shouldn't be admitting to it! But I have a love for a certain song by a certain band. Before this song I have never even wanted to listen to them, but right now I cant get the song out of my head! The song that I have a huge love for right now is:

Little things - One Direction

 I cant believe I'm admitting it but the song is amazing. Its actually completely different to all the other songs I've heard from them and to be honest sounds a lot more mature. 

I'm sure there are many One Direction fans out there that may well read this and not understand why I am confessing to liking them, but to me One Direction are your classic boy band ruled by the music master himself, Simon Cowell. They are generated to sing silly pop tracks that all sound the same, but there may well be hope for One Direction after all. I've listened to a lot of their new album and I have to say I'm very impressed. It finally sounds like they have their own voice and are using their talent to create something that is their own, instead of whats instructed by the music man. 

Now don't get my wrong I know that each and every member of that band is completely and utterly talented, so before all you One Direction fans attack me I get it there great! All I'm saying is that it's really refreshing to see them do something different and have their own style. 

Of course this is just my opinion, so way to go One Direction! Loving the new album and single!!   

What music or band do you have a secret love for??

Confession No.1

So through out this blog you'll get to know some of my confessions, and slowly get to know the truth about me. This confession is my first of many!!! And its all about my addiction, I have many addictions and to be honest I love them all. 

This addiction isn't like most addictions its not illegal, its not dangerous although I'm sure my boyfriend would say I'm dangerous around them. Now before you start thinking I'm some crazy chick that has an addiction to drugs or alcohol you'd be wrong. I'm actually sure most girls have this addiction as we all cant live without them.
 My addiction is SHOES.  
I completely and utterly love them and even though I have way to many shoes that I hardly ever wear and still have the need to buy more. I just cant help myself, I love them, hardly any shoe is the same as the next, unless of course you buy two sets of exactly the same shoe which I can understand! You can get so many its unbelievable all in completely different styles, from flats to heels. From glitzy to plain. From boots to trainers. I love them all!

 Here are a few of my babies!! The first pair are a black suede heel with a gold platform at the bottom. I brought these from Next in one of their sales and I love them so much, they are so sophisticated and elegant. The middle pair are wedge high tops from Next also. I didn't even realise they had a heel in them until I tried them on and I love them. The last pair are a gorgeous baby pink set of heels with a gorgeous bow with silver beads of the end. I got them from Primark and completely love them, they were a real bargain.

 

These are a few shoes that I found online that I think are gorgeous and would love to own myself. The first pair are amazing! Trainers and heels WOW! What more could you ask for in a shoe. I love them and will definitely be looking into getting myself a pair. The middle pair is Prada flats, now I can only dream that one day I will own a pair of Prada shoes, so here's to dreaming! The last pair I found, I thought were quite edgy and different, the zip going down the front looks gorgeous and I think they'd be perfect with a pair of jeans.

So there's confession number 1, I have a shoe addiction. I'm sure you'll so get to realise that I have many more addictions. 

What are your addictions?

Winter

So, winter is coming and all I can think about is Christmas and the long painful task of running round busy shops grabbing gifts for all the family. So to make it slightly easier for you guys I'm going to do a few must have gifts for everyone, and I will do this over the weeks coming up to Christmas. 

Now don't get me wrong I LOVE Christmas, but the busy shops I don't love. So this year I'm making sure I'm prepared and I'm going to make sure that I have everyone's gifts written on a piece of paper so I can run in and out of every store. 

I also want to make sure that I actually enjoy this Christmas and make the most of being young. So I plan to get out and spend as much time as I can with my boyfriend, family and friends. This also means making sure that I have all the fashion musts for this season, and as the weather is drastically changing I can't wait to get into all my knitted goodies and coats. There are so many gorgeous knitted jumpers out there this year so nobody can be without. 

I'm sure like most of you, your hoping for a snowy Christmas, well at least I am as I love snow and I love snow at Christmas! It actually makes it feel a lot more like Christmas if there's a white blanket of snow covering the floor on Christmas morning I'm seriously happy. It sounds quite childish as I'm nearly 20 but no matter how old I get I'm sure I'm always gonna love Christmas and snow. 

 

I hope you guys look forward to reading my gift guides for this year, and I look forward to reading yours too. 

Are you looking forward to Christmas this year? Are you a lover of snow? 

Let me know I'd love to hear your opinions on Christmas.
