These Shoes are Made for Walking

They say you're either a handbag girl or a shoe girl and although I often say I'm both, I know the leaning further towards the stilettos everyday. Shoes are my weakness. As someone who is 5ft2 and soon to be marrying a man of 6ft3, I see buying high heels as both a luxury and a necessity. Heels make me feel sexy, confident, taller and slimmer and I can also kiss my man without straining my neck - what more can a girl ask for.

My most recent shoe purchase was these lovely court shoes from Office (link). Office tends to be a little hit and miss for me at times and I usually very loyal to my Kurt Geiger's, however whilst shopping for a pair of wedding shoes these £65 beauties caught my attention. These red patent heels from Office are the perfect height for my wedding day and feel really comfy to wear. They look simple, yet glamorous and they are perfect for all types of occasions.

Whilst shopping for wedding shoes, I only had one thing in mind and that was I want my wedding shoes to be a pair of heels I can wear for many years after my wedding and get a lot of use out of. I'm not the type of girl that would settle for a pair of white lace bridal shoes. They are far too boring for my highly creative, bold and cheerful personality. I really wanted a splash of colour of my wedding day and something that would surprise people. My wedding dress is really long so these shoes won't be on show that much, but if I did fell like being cheeky and hitching up my skirt, at least I will have a glamorous pair of stilettos to show for it. Red has always been one of my favourite colours and these heels are just perfect in every way.

What would be your dream wedding shoes?

Valentines Day is usually full of surprises and its often difficult to know what to wear. Unless you have a set reservation at a restaurant, your partner could be plotting anything and I am probably the worst for dressing for the wrong occasion on a good day.

This outfit was inspired by the white Henri Lloyd jumper I recently came across. As a child I spent my time split between two different locations - one being Huddersfield the small town in which I grew up in and the other being in the middle of the irish sea - literally. For as long as I have been on this planet and a long time before, my dad has always had a yacht. He loves sailing more than anything in this world and as a child we would spend nearly every weekend galavanting to Wales and spending time sailing around the coastline. In fact, my parents first took me sailing when I was only a few months old. Growing up spending so much time sailing, I was introduced to many of the local yacht clubs. Some of them would be tiny, not really extravagant, but then you would get one of two that easily made you feel out of place. You would see these women with perfectly tousled hair, radiant skin, wearing their nautical inspired jumpers and looking completely flawless despite spending days fighting off sea air and salt. You instantly knew they were of a different kind, I was from a small boat, but they were cruising around in mega yachts. In fact, they probably looked so immaculate because they had their own crew. Over the years I managed to meet a lot of these women and the more I saw their lavish lifestyles, the more I wanted to be like them.

Henri Lloyd are clothing line, known for being one of the original British sailing brands. Despite being quite far from the sea, the brand was created in Manchester and were the first people to use Velcro in clothing as well as manufacture Bri-Nylon one of the first waterproof brands. These days Henri Lloyd clothing is a well known brand amongst celebrities and readily available amongst high street stores. A sentence driven from the website sums the brand up perfectly by stating:" Today Henri Lloyd products contain a unique blend of heritage, modernity and technical excellence, whilst always staying true to the sea."

This Henri Lloyd jumper was chosen for my valentines outfit as it is casual, yet classy and will keep you warm whilst the weather is still rather cold. I've teamed this jumper up with a pair of Topshop denim jeans, a pair of Kurt Geiger Ariana booties, a Mulberry Small Suffolk handbag and I have finished the outfit off with one of my favourite red lipsticks, the YSL Rouge Rock. Volumised hair with loose curls would look great with this outfit or even a beehive style up do.

What would you wear as a casual look this Valentines Day?

This blog post isn't really about Gucci or Prada, but I love the song Shopaholic by the Wideboys. Shopaholic is what I listen to when I'm feeling a little bit spontaneous and about to head out on a shopping spree. Whilst walking around Harvey Nichols last Saturday, I fell in love with the Burberry coat in the above image. I was like Rebecca Bloomwood with the emerald green scarf in Confessions of a Shopaholic, but unlike her, there was no way with even my credit cards maxed out I could afford this jacket. I stroked the soft leather sleeves and entwined my fingers in the luxurious silver clasps. My gaze stayed aligned with beautiful jacket until I left the department and on the way home, it was all I could talk about. My partner continued to roll his eyes wondering how on earth anyone could find a coat with the same price as second hand family car attractive. I tried to justify my love for high quality clothing, but all I was greeted with was the statement that I could go to Topshop and buy almost the entire womens section for that amount.

One thing that did make me giggle whilst walking around Leeds was that my partner said: "You walk around Harvey Nichols, Selfridges and Harrods like it's an art gallery or a museum". I suppose they are my equivalent of the Tate Modern, I love fashion. Some people like art, staring at old artifacts (which I love doing both), but I also love walking around expensive clothing stores taking note of the precision cuts, the soft fabrics and elusive patterns.

All this talk inspired me to do a 'what if I was rich?' post. What if suddenly I went and bought 100 lottery tickets and suddenly won? What would I buy? Well I know exactly what the first things would be...after a house, a car and a 50ft yacht. I would buy this Burberry leather sleeve duffle coat that I couldn't take my eyes off for a start. I would love to wear this with a pair of leather pants and a pair of tall black heels - preferably those Christian Louboutins I have mentioned.

The second thing I would buy is the Mulberry Small Suffolk handbag. I love the timeless design and it's British heritage. This handbag would go with every outfit I own.

Makeup is something that I can afford, but right now having lost my job I don't necessarily have the budget to be going out and buying higher end brands. I would do anything for the Naked 3 palette as the colours really sum up my personality and style and the Chanel lipstick is the same one I lost a few months ago. The Chanel lipstick I used to wear nearly every day without fail.

Finally, I don't know a girl who wouldn't buy a pair of Christian Louboutins if she had the money. They are the most prestigious shoe brand out there and every single of CL's designs look timeless, versatile and god damn sexy. That's it, I'm definitely going to be trying my luck at the lotto this weekend and eagerly watching the Euro jackpot results*. Hopefully it will play in my favour.

If you won the lottery, what would you buy?

It's true what they say, 'you're either a bag woman or a shoe woman' and I'm definitely head over heels for shoes. I don't know where my love for high heels came from, but as soon as I started earning my own money, my shoe collection rapidly expanded. I now dream of Louboutin and Jimmy Choo and when I go into a clothes store I'm instantly drawn towards their shoe collections. Although I have a fetish for the likes of Kurt Geiger, I still like to grab myself the odd pair of bargain shoes. One of my favourite places to grab bargain shoes is a little boutique in my hometown. They sell a variety of bright coloured heels for as little as £20, the only issue is that they only stock limited sizes. Therefore I've spent a while browsing the internet for an alternative and recently I came across the store Spy Love Buy.

Spy Love Buy sells a variety of affordable heels and cheap boots* all that are perfect for fashionistas on a budget. Recently I've been looking for a new pair of sparkly heels for the festive season. Unfortunately I've left it a little bit too late to receive a pair before Christmas, but I still may have time to grab a new pair of shoes before the New Year. My favourites off the website at the moment are the Glitterati gold heels which would be perfect for rocking around the Christmas tree, the Vegas stilettos which I'd love to wear on New Year and the two classy looking shoes, the Royal Stiletto and the Meadow stiletto peep toe shoe. I think the pair i'll end up buying is the Meadow Stiletto as they will go with anything and they look rather comfy. I can't wait until next payday.

Have you bought any new heels for Christmas?

When it comes to the winter I never know what to wear. I'm much more of a summer girl with an incredible amount of summer dresses in my wardrobe and very little jumpers. Todays inspiration is drawn from the Psyche designer website and this beautiful Armani Jeans handbag I've fallen in love with. Christmas time is my favourite time of year to invest in a designer outfit. Being a student I don't have the most amount of money, but I feel that at Christmas time I owe myself treat and I like to feel glamorous. After all the weather is horribly cold outside, the skies are gloomy and the days feel like they're going faster, I think we all deserve a pick me up. The first item on this wishlist is the Michael Kors Embellished top. The colours gold and white remind me of Christmas angels and the top looks like it would be a great piece for the wardrobe as it's multi seasonal. I can imagine wearing this through the summer to the winter period with no problems and it will still look glam whatever the seasonal trends. The Michael Kors blouse is a little bit pricey at £193 - there's no problem with dreaming. The second item is one that I could easily see myself spending money on, which is the Armani Jeans Tan Eco Leather Tassel Shopper Bag. I just love the retro design and yet again, the versatility of the product. I like clothes and accessories in my wardrobe that are interchangeable and will go with everything. It's okay to buy one off pieces every now and then, but buying items that can make not just one, but several outfits is more cost effective. The handbag is £167 which is a reasonable price for a designer handbag. The shoes I have mentioned in the top collage are from Ted Baker, possibly one of my favourite high street designers out there. For a clothing company that was predominantly male to begin with, I think they make classically beautiful womens clothes and I don't think there has been a collection I haven't fallen head over heels for in the last few years. Finally, the Multi bird pencil skirt adds a lovely finishing touch to the outfit with it's vibrant birdie print. The skirt is by designer Kate Fearnley and it's something I would be more than happy to have in my wardrobe. It costs £99

My second outfit choice is more of an evening look or a high class shopping look for when you're grabbing cocktails with the friends on a Saturday afternoon. Yet again I've teamed this outfit with the leather oversized shopper bag by Armani Jeans as I really do think it's beautiful.This dress is by one of my favourite companies French Connection - I'm in love with red leopard print at the moment and I think this dress looks subtly festive. French Connection always have an amazing collection of Christmas party dresses and this is definitely one of them. The Red Winter Simba Printed Cotton Pencil dress can be bought on the Psyche website for approximately £84. Finally, I've added a little bit more MK to my outfits by styling this dress with the Michael Kors black suede court shoes with studded detail. If only I had enough money to buy all of these.

Would you buy any of these products?

Around the UK there are rumours that the snow is upon us. It was supposed to happen this week in the North West, but we had a lucky escape. This has got me thinking about what outfits i'll be wearing to keep warm this winter and more importantly, the shoes that will keep me safe from the cold, slippery weather.

When it comes to winter shoes I like something that is sturdy and will keep me from slipping on the ice. Falling over in the winter weather is one of my biggest fears since I fell over ice-skating and damaged the cartilage in knee. Since that day my knee has overgone surgery, physio and unfortunately now has arthritis so I will do anything to prevent further injuries. Just because you need to cover up a little bit more and wear winter boots, it doesn't necessarily mean you need to be unfashionable. There are plenty of quirky boots on the market and wellies aren't the boring shade of green they used to be years ago. There are plenty of shoes out there to whet your fashion appetite and one brand in particular, Brantano has a good quite a good selection.

The first outfit I've chosen screams warmth with the snuggly fur top boots from Brantano and the suede coloured Sheepskin waterfall jacket from Topshop. At a pricey £595 for this beauty, it's unlikely that I'll be buying it this winter, but for those who have the money to splash out it looks like a fantastic, versatile piece for your wardrobe. The skinny jeans are yet again from Topshop and they come in a variety of colours. My favourite colour of skinny jeans at the moment has to be the plum red shades that are taking over the high street. They have the ability to look sophisticated and classy and they make a great alternative to the regular black and blue colours.

My next outfit features this wonderful silk blouse from Miss Selfridge, boots yet again from *Brantano and a comfy pair of leggings from New Look. I've got a little bit of an obsession with high calf boots, because if you find a pair that fits properly they can give the illusion of slimmer, taller legs - just like heels. The other two items are from two shops that I spend a considerable amount of time in and I can't get wait to get my hands on those leggings after payday.

What do you think of my outfit wish lists?

When I arrived home yesterday my mum came running into the kitchen saying: "It looks like you've got a Christmas present already." I gave her a bemused expression and wondered what on earth she was talking about. It turns out that she opened one of my parcels by mistake - me and my dad have the same initials and inside was this pretty red box. I already knew I was expecting a parcel from Damart, but I definitely didn't expect the beautiful packaging and the lovely little memo card.

When Damart first approached me to write a review of their range I was a little apprehensive. 'Thermals are for my grandmas' was the first thing that came to my head. I admit I was quite naive, but nethertheless I wanted to experience the brand first hand before making such statements. With all this stormy weather hitting the UK and winter on the horizon, it's the best time to start looking into purchasing thermals. I often suffer from low body temperature with being iron deficient and there are days that I long for something that would make me feel as cosy as I do when I'm in my nice warm bed.

Damart are one of the leading brands for thermal clothing internationally and are known for developing Thermolactyl, a man made fibre that is renowned for keeping you warm without the bulky clothing. Damart's thermal range is now celebrating 60 years in production, making them a reliable and trustworthy much loved brand.I selected the 'Damart Knitted Booties' to bring to the review table and I now can't imagine a day without them keeping my feet warm.

The Damart knitted booties are made using thermal technology and are the perfect choice for everyone that suffers from persistent cold feet or a person that loves a good pair of slippers. They are incredibly soft on the inside and slide onto feet effortlessly. I love walking around in them as they are comfortable and fit more like a shoe than a conventional pair of slippers. The booties have a relatively thick sole making them long lasting and easy to wear around the house. If it isn't the thermal technology that has sold these slippers to you, their cute design with the beautiful fur trim will definitely win you over. When I look at these slippers I think of nights beside the fire and sipping wine on a cold Christmas evening. They're more than a pair of slippers, they feel like luxury and at £15 they have the perfect price tag.

These boots may be my first thermal item, but they definitely won't be the last. Damart, you have converted me and brought me over to the warmer side of life. My feet are eternally grateful.

Have you bought any thermal clothing before?

I'm sat in bed on the laptop and currently thinking 'I can't believe it's Sunday again'. This week has flown so fast and all I've done is work and not stopped. It's strange to think that I arranged my work experience with Welcome to Yorkshire several months ago and now it's tomorrow that i'll be heading over to their office for a week. I love playing intern and cannot wait for the experience, but as always I'm a little bit apprehensive and I'm really not sure about the outfit I've hung up on my wardrobe. I can probably guarantee that will change several times before I leave the house tomorrow.

In today's short, but sweet blog post I've decided to show you three of my favourite things I've recently purchased or have been sent. The above image is a picture of my new shoes from Dorothy Perkins. They were a steal at £15 and I'm looking forward to wearing them for my work experience tomorrow. I've been searching for a pair of pretty kitten heels and I've finally found a pair I love.

The second item is Bijoux Bazaar bracelet I've been chirping on about for the last few days. I ordered it not too long ago and it arrived really quickly. Being a little bit judgemental from past experiences, I didn't know what to expect ordering a piece of jewellery offline that had such a low price. I'm usually pretty happy to invest a little bit of money into jewellery, because there's a fine line between pretty and tacky. When the bracelet arrived I was shocked by the superb quality and how pretty it looks. I can't stop wearing it and I've already seen other pieces of jewellery I'd like to buy from the website. I can see the Brent Bug earrings making their way onto my shopping list in the near future.

My final item is this beautiful bag I was sent by the team at Bon Prix. I've been using it quite a lot lately that I haven't actually got round to blogging about it until now. The snake skin and leather pattern look bang on trend for this autumn and I love the tassel detailing. The bag goes with quite a lot of outfits and it's perfect as a small every essential. This tassel side tote can be bought from the Bon Prix website for £28, which I think is a reasonable price.

What do you think of the items?

London Fashion Week very quickly crept upon us and then suddenly has finished within a blink of the eye. This year we've seen lots of bold colours, fabulous patterns and an ample amount of leather. To celebrate or commiserate the finale of London Fashion week, I've decided to do one last wish list post. This wish list is a combination of high street and designer, much like London Fashion Week. In my personal opinion, I've always stated that I prefer to have a few designer accessories and a lot more high street gear, because it's easier to mix and match. You can take one Topshop jumpsuit similar to the one and above and add a few designer items to give the item a sense of luxury and glamour.

The other day I walked into Topshop and was blown away by the vibrant colour of this orange jumpsuit. The colour very much reminds me of those auburn leaves that fall off the trees at this time of year and looks very autumnal. I could see the jumpsuit being fun to wear, yet evoking a sense of sophistication. I really need to try this on next time I'm in store.

The second item on this list is a beautiful Ivory Cup Sleeve jumper by the designer Chalayan. I was browsing the Avenue 32 website and fell in love with it. It looks really cosy and versatile and I could imagine this going with so many outfits I own. This jumper would look great over the Topshop jumpsuit to give a slouchy yet glamorous, dressed down vibe.

Yet again on my wishlist is another pair of Kurt Geigers. I don't think they ever bring out a line of shoes that I don't want to buy. I love the look of these wedges. Finally, I'd bring the whole outfit together with the bag leather handbag from River Island. I've had many River Island handbags in the past and they've lasted me for a very long time, I can't wait to buy another.

What do you think of this outfit?

Sometimes it's rather shocking how fast time flies. One minute it's the beginning of summer and you're walking down the streets in bare legs and little dresses, then before you know it you're reluctantly wrapped up in your scarf and parka jacket embracing the winter weather. It's been almost 3 months since I started my university summer break and in less than 2 weeks I'll be back in the classroom getting ready to begin my third year. I'm a mixture of fairly excited and really nervous and I know from the 30th of September I will probably be moving into the library and won't be seen until next year. I cannot believe how fast my time at university has gone. I remember two years ago next week starting university thinking that three years was going to drag, but every month that goes by, time seems to be getting quicker. I can't wait to finish university, get a job and move on to the next point of my career, but part of me will really miss it. This year I'm really making the most of my final year and participating in as much as possible so I really feel that I've lived my stint at university to the full.

As much as we might not acknowledge it, the majority of us feel more confident when we're dressed for success. This year I want to practice being the trendy journalist of the future and start dressing a little less slouchy and more career ready. The wish list above shows all the items I'd love to have in my wardrobe and makeup draw this autumn. Realistically buying every item isn't going to happen, but a girl can dream.

The first item on my wish list are these beautiful Kurt Geiger wedges. I've always been a KG girl and I'm very rarely out of my studded KG heels. I'd love another pair for my wardrobe, but something I could wear on a day to day basis. These wedges would be great for when the weather is having a good day and I'm able to have time off wearing the winter boots. It's said to snow pretty early this year so maybe that won't happen, but they would be a great investment for next summer too.

Secondly I really need to buy a case for my new phone. I've recently taken out a contract for the HTC One and I seriously don't trust myself with technology. The other year I took out a 24 month contract with my old phone and dropped it within 3 months - the screen was smashed beyond repair and I think i've finally learnt my lesson.

For the last few months I've really wanted a Michael Kors watch and hopefully i'll be able to buy the Runway watch once I've saved up in the next few months. I'm not usually a fan of watches, but Michael Kors have converted me. I love the classic style, the quality and the versatility of all their watches. I could see myself wearing this piece for years to come.

The watch and heels I've selected are in autumnal colours, therefore it would be nice to have a autumn inspired lipstick to go with them. I've been a fan of Illamasqua ever since I purchased my Eurydice a while back. The quality of their lipsticks are better than most other brands I've tried and they are really long lasting, which is great for a long day at university. I'd love to buy the Mac Groundwork paint pot to go with this lipstick as I think both the colours would look fantastic together.

Do you have any items you're lusting after at the moment?

A few weeks ago it was my 22nd birthday and I never really got round to announcing it or showing my brand new treats. It was very difficult time due to the loss of a family member, but I dealt with it the best way I know how...shopping. I'm an impulsive shopper and always have been. My shopping habits are generally triggered by emotion and I'm ready to argue with anyone my belief that shopping is a real addiction. Do you ever get anxious if you haven't shopped in a long time? Have an overwhelming desire to have something new in your life on a regular basis? If you're answering yes, you're very much like me. I just can't help it, I love to shop. When I buy something I feel happy, until six months later when I have literally no wardrobe space from impulsive buys and my bedroom is literally cramped. The time I generally spend shopping is when I'm stressed. I love to stroll around and distance myself from life and pretend that I live in a different universe where money is limitless and the sky is literally the limit. Okay...maybe I have a problem.

I never really do the whole 'haul thing', because I don't like to brag about what I've bought a lot of the time. I'm one of those people who sees someone showing off their brand new Mulberry Alexa and then sulks for days because I can't really afford one. Marriage and university life comes first, Louis Vuitton, YSL and Mulberry will come when I've made all my younger sacrifices. I want to be able to get my first full time job and properly be proud of my new handbag - when it comes to expensive things, I like to feel like I've earned it.

One expensive item that I feel like I've really deserved lately is my sparkly new Macbook Pro. My last laptop was literally falling apart. I used an old mouse from a windows 98 computer to work it, my laptop switched off every time it came unplugged because the battery stopped working and it weighed far too much carry around on a regular basis. I was kindly given a bursary by my university and decided to treat myself to my new Macbook when I went to London. When I returned home, I quickly ordered this barbie pink case from Ebay to protect it from scratches. I get so many looks due to this case whilst I'm at university. I really think people assume I'm like Elle from Legally Blonde without the blonde hair.

My next purchase was this gorgeous yellow Zara dress. I love colour in my wardrobe, because it makes me feel so confident. This dress compliments my brunette hair and looks great for springtime. It can easily be dressed up for a night out or dressed down for a girly day out shopping. I try to make my wardrobe as timeless as possible to save money and I think this is a great investment.

These shoes were brought from River Island a few weeks ago. I had an urge to buy wedges as soon as the sun came out and I love this nautical, french design. I think they're so cute and they're amazingly comfy. At £25 (with student discount) I'm glad I snapped them up.

From shoes to dresses. I seriously cannot go in New Look lately without browsing endlessly at their amazing line of floral dresses. These two beauties are my recent purchases my New Look and I'm really impressed with the quality for such a low price. I love buying all my basics and staple daywear from New Look, I feel like I can never go wrong.

To complete all my outfits, I surrendered to buying this adorable Marc B bag. I love the Marc B range as they're always affordable, reliable and very sturdy handbags. It has got to the point where my mother has stolen my other Marc B bags as she agrees with me - you just can't beat them for durability.

Finally, my last big recent purchase is a well deserved week trip to Ibiza. I haven't been abroad since I was 13 - nearly 10 years. My parents bought me a passport for my birthday and I couldn't wait to book a holiday. Me and my partner are going to Ibiza for a week in July and I'm mega excited. It's going to be my first ever adult holiday and even better, I get to go with my handsome fiance. Life is feeling quite a bit better now.

I think my next treat will be these beautiful Prada sunglasses so I can enjoy the weather properly.

Have you bought anything nice recently?

I've been a little bit obsessed with the mono chrome trend recently, but currently lack funds to be able to buy anything. Instead I have plummeted into a dream world, creating mini mood boards for when I finally get paid. When I saw the Kissing is Cool T-Shirt from New Love Club, I knew I wanted to try create an edgy, minimalist Valentines day outfit and here's what I came up with.

T-Shirt: New Love Club £25.00

The T-shirt is by a brand called New Love Club that was founded in 2009. The brand is distributed throughout stores such as: Selfridges, Topshop and ASOS, bringing you affordable yet edgy photography styled t-shirt designs. The slogan "Kissing is Cool" would be a great tongue in cheek motto for Valentines Day and great for those wanting to rock the grunge look. The t-shirt is also unisex and great for your man to wear.

Blazer: River Island £45

I'm in love with white blazers at the moment and would do anything to get my hands on this beautiful River Island design. The blazer is very minimalist and would go great with any outfit. Black and white are totally on trend right now, so team it up with a skinny black vest and disco pants for a sexy, slimline look.

Disco Pants: TopShop £30

TopShop have so many amazing items right now and what's better is that they offer a really friendly student discount. Finally, something that I might be able to afford. These disco pants are striking and figure hugging, perfect for those wanting to exhibit their curves this valentines day.

Wedges: New Look £24.99

Stumbling over in front of your partner wearing six inch stilettos isn't the best look, so for those who are height conscious and need a mini boost this Valentines day, why not opt for wedges? Comfortable and stylish, you will easily be able to dance the night away. I love New Look for shoes, because they are affordable and have so many amazing designs. These wedges are the ones that I'm currently lusting for.

Hat: TopShop £20

I have recently become obsessed with hats and I don't know why. A few months ago, I would have said that hats make my head look big or that I wouldn't suit any hat in store. I can't get enough of them at the moment. There are so many styles to choose from and this little cream banded trilby would look great for someone trying to channel their inner rock'n'roll style.

What do you think of my outfit styling?

2012 is supposed to be my year of saving, not splurging and to control my spending habits, I have created a beautiful wish list. Hopefully in creating my wish list, it will point me towards the items I would actually like to buy, rather than impulse buying, but I can't make any promises on that front. I also hope to save at least £1000 of my University loan, so that in the future it can be invested into work experience or something career related. This University year so far, I've already managed to save £500, so I'm hoping I'll be a good student in 2012.

Going back to the wish list, the items I have chosen are classic pieces that I'm sure will look brilliant in my wardrobe for the next few years, providing I don't gain or lose too much weight.

The first item I would very much like is this coat from Urban Outfitters. This is a timeless design that very much reminds me of the 1940s. I'm obsessed with old Hollywood actresses and I could really imagine seeing this coat. The fur cuffs and neck trim make this coat all snuggly and warm and provide a vintage-esque appeal. At £135, this coat isn't exactly cheap, but I'm sure it will remain in my wardrobe for years to come.

In 2011 I lost almost six stone and reinvented myself. The only bad thing about this experience is renewing my wardrobe. It is every girls dream of shopping once you have lost a lot of weight, but it can be quite pricy in the long run. Ever since I started my weight loss, I told myself I would treat myself to some lovely expensive underwear once I had lost the weight and I've always wanted to try the 'Agent Provocateur' brand. I can now say that I have purchased some underwear in the sales and it's making it's way to me as I speak and I'll be doing a review once it arrives.

I have to say that as of late, New Look have really upped their game in the shoe department and not only do they create beautiful shoes, they are really comfy too! I would love to buy these shoes from New Look as they so elegant and have a beautiful Christian Louboutin style. These babies are £59.99, but on the plus side, I can get student discount...

White is such a classic colour and admittedly, I barely own anything that is cream or white, so this dress would be perfect. Every dream dreams of having a Marilyn Monroe moment and this dress could be the one for me. I have many dresses in this style, so I know that it will suit me. This dress is from River Island and it's £35.

I know these days it seems that every girl and her dog has a Louis Vuitton handbag, but the design is classic, the handbags are beautifully made and to be honest, it is something I could see me using on a regular basis. This April will be my 21st birthday, so I'm hoping to treat myself to this beautiful bag with my birthday money and savings.

I'm currently on a make-up ban after realising my collection is taking over my bedroom. I still have many items left to blog about and i'll probably do a collection post very soon.

What's in your 2012 wish list?
