January Wish List: Top Ten

Happy New Year to all! I hope you had an enjoyable Christmas and New Year, and are feeling refreshed enough to take on 2013 with appropriate vigour and enthusiasm! Personally I haven't made any "resolutions" as such - I already exercise regularly, I don't overindulge too often, and I quit smoking 7 months ago - however I have committed to generally improving my time-management so that I can improve on the foundations that are already there. Do you have any exciting resolutions for 2013?

January's Wish List is very much an actual Wish List, rather than a Shopping List, due to funds being incredibly low this month - however I still dare to dream! Evidently there are not many clothes on my list, as many of us are trying to shift those few extra pounds from the festive period, however I have included a trusty pair of jeans. The jeans are from Topshop and they're on the list as not only am I in desperate need of a new pair, but I have found Topshop jeans to be great for my shape and long-lasting.  The accessories, shoes and makeup I've included are fun and bright, and are ideal to cheer us up during the bleak January period - I know I need to shake off those January blues, and although it isn't everything in life, fashion is a good place to start!

December Wish List: Top Ten Gift Ideas

With Christmas fast approaching, and with my age increasing, I find myself worrying more about what I am going to buy for others rather than what I will receive on Christmas morning. When I was younger I would lie in bed awake on Christmas Eve hoping and praying that Santa will have brought that perfect gift. Now I lie in bed hoping that I have wrapped the perfect gifts. It really can be a stressful time, so for my December wish list I have come up with my top ten gifts: five for her and five for him.

November Wish List: Top Ten

So, as some of you may have noticed, I haven't posted in a while. Unfortunately technology failed me at the beginning of October and crippled my chances of posting... but I am now back, and armed with a brand new laptop! I am very excited about my return to blogging, and have lots of exciting things to share with you all over the next couple of weeks.

As is becoming tradition, my first post each month is my top ten wish list, and I'm not one to break tradition, so November will be no different! I'm very much looking forward to the festive season, so sparkles feature heavily (I love sparkles at Christmas time!). Winter accessories are essential in the UK at the moment, and I love to be toasty, so I'll definitely be topping up my wardrobe with items such as the Topshop bobble hat. Here is my November wish list:

1.

GUCCI
