12 Days of Christmas

Luxe Luggage

I am an absolute sucker when it comes to labels. I love Marc by Marc Jacobs, Chanel, D&G, Louis Vuitton and Lulu Guinness. Everyone dreams of having the Louis Vuitton luggage set, with the totes, cases and trunks.

However, there is a new set of luggage that I have completely fallen for! 

LULU GUINNESS!

Her iconic 'lips' have now been plastered all over suitcases of the most amazing colours. Pillarbox red, jet black and hot pink, however they do come at a jaw-dropping price. I would love to own one of these and maybe I may treat myself after working all over Christmas.

River Island Christmas Temp

I was hired by my local River Island store in Southport as a Christmas temp. I have been working there for nearly a week and I absolutely love it. I used to work at McDonalds so the job is a little but more glamorous! River Island have recently changed their uniform, so you have to wear their brand whilst you're working.

This means they give you £85 clothing allowance (even though I am only there for 5 weeks)! So yesterday I chose my uniform. It was amazing, going round the store - choosing clothes, and then not having to pay! I got a jumper which costs £45, a £30 black knitted cardigan and a simple pair of black leggings (because you can never go wrong with a pair of leggings).

This is my new work uniform! Which again beats 'maccies' uniform! 

and a pair of black leggings.

I also bought myself a few RI tees which I can wear with my cardie. I bought these tees in a Large so I could wear them as oversized tees with leggings and my studded boots instead of wearing jeans. I absolutely love oversized tees as part of a grunge style.

Christmas shopping

As Christmas is getting closer and closer, my family are constantly asking "what do you want for Christmas?". I decided to go into town and look at what I had my eye on and what I should possibly put on my Christmas list.

I decided to wear my Topshop shirt, Missguided disco pants, ASOS chelsea boots and use my River Island studded bag as a statement piece. This is my favourite sort of look. Classic and casual. 

A lot of stuff on my christmas list is online from either ASOS or Missguided - however, from working in River Island, I have noticed there are so many things I love in there at the moment!

River Island

This black dress would be perfect for night or day, and at only £40, it is an absolute steal. 

These disco pants from River Island are currently reduced to £20. I have three pairs of black disco pants so I think getting a different colour may liven up my wardrobe and mix it up a bit!

Visual merchandising

I was shopping in my local town today and I decided to look at the shops on the high street and their visual merchandising for the Christmas season. 

Primark

H&M

M&S

BHS

New Look

Paparatzzi

Paparatzzi is a store in Southport which offers fast fashion at a very affordable price.

This was my favourite dress in the shop window. 

(I want this as my new years dress!)

This is their in-store visual merchandising.

Seasons must have bag!

It was my first day of working at River Island today as a Christmas temp and I absolutely love it! I love River Island as a retailer, so spending an entire day in their shop, surrounded by their latest range is hardly the worst job. Although I am only working there for 5 weeks, I will love just being in the store and working with the products. 

This bag is a season must have for me. I already have this bag in black but as soon as I see the cream one in store, I will have to get it before everyone else does! Although £55 is a lot of money for a high street bag - it is definitely worth it. River Island are known for their unique handbags and this season is no different.
