Christmas 2015 Wishlist

How is Christmas only a week away? I know people say it all the time but this year has definitely been the quickest year ever, last Christmas felt like last month. I've finished college but I'm working Sunday, off Monday then off Christmas Day & not off till the Wednesday after. I've managed to get New Years off but the rota is just horrible. Don't think I'm going to be able to see Kelly while she's back from London cos of the stupid hours I'm working! But I guess I can look forward to my payslip when it comes. 

I'm not ready at all I've not bought any presents. I've just about bought Holly's birthday presents for tomorrow but have yet to wrap them as I seriously can't wrap so still debating on whether I will or not yet...

I usually have the longest wish list of things I want but for once I can't say there's anything I really want in particular since my spending this year has been ridiculous. The amount of things I've bought myself I still don't know what's got into me. Like my bank card hasn't been used so much ever! There are a couple of things I would like but I'm not dying to have them.



I've been after an aviator jacket for years but haven't be able to find the perfect one. I did find the perfect one in Zara but it went £20 cheaper in the Black Friday sales & now it's sold out. I then seen this in Topshop it's costs £15 more but I had a £30 giftcard & can get student discount. It was sold out when I seen it & I've been checking everyday to see if it's come back in stock & before I wrote this post, 1 size 8 magically appeared so I quickly put it in my basket. I had a bit of an issue with the student discount but I sorted it put all my card details etc in, went to buy & said error it's sold out! I wanted to cry, but went back on to keep checking & another size 8 appeared again so again I quickly entered all my details & I got it!! I felt like I was trying to buy concert tickets it was stressful. Hopefully it's as nice as it looks, it fits - I've gone a size up with it being all shearling & that it comes in time for Christmas. Does say I should receive by the 24th.

They now do this jacket in the petite & tall section. I nearly did buy the petite one as I was that desperate to get it!



Not sure whether this would have been a better option as all my jackets are black but then it would get dirty easily? It's annoying that they don't have them in the shop so I can try them on & see what they look like. I wish they did a golden brown one or a grey one but I feel like it's too late now as I've bought the black one!


I want a pair or short black UGG boots. People always seemed surprised that I like UGG boots don't know why. I actually own a pair that Tracy gave me. The one with fur down the side. Nightfall boots not sure if they do them any more. They're so comfy & warm the perfect winter boots, I don't get what's not to like about them? I do have an issue with fake ones but real ones are nice. Can't say I'm a fan of the new wedged ones. Why are they making every in "wedged" they just look horrible & weird! 

They've got even more expensive now a pair of short classic adults are £155! They used to be like £109 or something.



I should really stop looking at trainers but I can't help it! I think the fact I'm going to be a personal trainer justifies it though? It's my uniform having to wear trainers & they're the comfiest footwear.. I'm after another pair of Pure Boosts as I love mine so much they're the comfiest shoes ever even though mine are too small. You're suppose to go up half a size which I've learnt now! Hopefully these go in the sale & I can get them! My mum is going to kill me though I've bought 4 pairs of shoes this year well I think 8 altogether counting the ones I've returned...







I really like these Nikes they look so comfy! A lad on my pt course has blue ones, they look nicer in person than they do on the website. The sizings are weird though as they're not the usual numbers they're sized XS, S, L etc. There is a size guide on the website.


Anyone know what these Roshe's are called or where I can get them from? I hate going on Tumblr & Pinterest sometimes, I always see stuff I like but don't know what they're called or where I can get them from!




I actaully really like these but of course they're sold out!

I'm also in need of some new gym leggings & gym tops but that's just a continuous need all year round with how much I go to the gym!




I'm not too sure what the silver ones are called in the above picture that's only a photo from Tumblr. The John Lewis ones look them but I don't like the colour. 

Hopefully getting a pair or Ray-Ban aviators come January! 



Don't think these are actually the ones I want cos they're £120? Unless they've massively jumped up in price... I want the large classic aviators with the black lens gold trim. Of course to wear with my aviator jacket... 





I will own a Barbour jacket one day whether it's an adults or child's one. I just can't justify or afford to buy one right now...

This is my super expensive Christmas wishlist for if I happen to win the lottery...

I'm currently looking for a new outfit for Christmas & New Years but at the moment there's nothing I actually like! Zara have nice stuff on the website but considering the Liverpool One store is meant to be a flagship one it's rubbish, it doesn't sell anything I want in there! 

Still don't have plans for New Years Eve either but spontaneous last minute plans are always the best

Recent Purchases

The past month I have spent far too much money which really isn't like me I don't really know what's going on! I need my bank card taken off me! I've decided to treat myself & bought some new clothes.

I bought some new stuff before I went on holiday...


£14.99





£12.99



Marks & Spencer Hello Kitty Pure Cotton Pyjamas (6-16 Years)
£5.99 reduced from £16

Yes I got Hello Kitty kids pyjamas. I got size 11-12 years old. The pants are a bit short but they look like they're meant to be like that & the top is short but don't really plan on wearing it. I love that I'm 21 & can still wear kids clothes!

I also bought some 3 plain kids 11-12 years old Fruit of the Loom (black, white & green) tees from Amazon for £1.70 to cut into crop tops.

I came back from holiday & then spent even more money buying more stuff...


£8 reduced from £40!


£12 reduced from £22


£14.99



Links of London Friendship Bracelet John Lewis 
£70 reduced from £140

The last 3 things are actually things I've been wanting for a while now. The Topshop top I wasn't willing to pay £22 for so waited for it to go in the sale, the New Look top was sold out & came back in stock & the Links of London bracelet it probably the best buy out of them all as I've been wanting one for years. It was reduced to £70 I think it was £140. I had £40 worth of vouchers so only paid £30 for it! Which is so good considering they're now over £100. When I first wanted one they were £70. This was reduced as they the colour has been discontinued.

I'm currently on the hunt for a pair of everyday trainers but I can't seem to find any I like! I'm after a black & white pair that isn't suede preferably. But even without narrowing it down to b&w I still can't find a nice pair. Shops are a bit rubbish at the moment. I'm also after a jacket that isn't my leather jacket as that's the only thing I wear when it gets warmer! I do want a nice duster jacket but that was kinda last season before Christmas... & a good pair of ripped jeans!



Adidas Pure Boost Splatter - Foot Locker £99

I've found these that I want after seeing Gypsyone Jenah Yamamato post them but couldn't find them so thought they were customised but Foot Locker have them. Sadly they're well over my budget! :(

Lucha Libre

So Danielle is finally back from Dubai after 6 weeks & Kelly came home for the weekend as she has a reading week. I think the last time I seen Danielle was my surprise 21st party in Kelly's back in August which was over 2 months ago! I didn't get to see her before she went to Morocco to volunteer with Kelly or after it as she was only back for a day or two then was off to Dubai. I also haven't seen Kelly or Hannah since we went to Almost Famous which was well over a month ago before they both started uni. 

We went for lunch yesterday at Lucha Libre which is Mexican street food.




Mango Juice - £4.50


Kelly & Danielle got the Street Food Tray to share - £19.95
3x Pilbil Tacos, 2x Chicken Tostadas, 1x Maria Sabina Quesadilla & 1x Chorizo & Potato Quesadilla


Hannah got the Chargrilled Chicken Quesadilla - £4.50


I got Pibil Tacos - £4.75

Didn't realise how small they'd be... Ate them in like a minute! 



I went the toilet & left my phone on the table...






I've only ever been to Lucha Libre once with Holly when we had the lunch deal & had the super hot tortilla soup which we couldn't handle.. The portions are tiny & could definitely do with more. I thought mine was going to be bigger didn't realise the taco was gonna be a mouthful size! Definitely would have had to order more if it was dinner. I also wished I got the quesadilla instead... But I wasn't sure as I'm not a fan of cheese I only eat it on pizza or like lasagne. I would never had a cheese sandwich or toastie. Danielle, Kelly & Hannah if you read this yes I am still annoyed I ended up giving a £2 tip as I was meant to get £3 change for my meal. Danielle gave me £1 & said take £2 out from the pot but I didn't hear her & the guy came over to take the money she said keep the change... I'd never leave that much tip ever!

After we went to Starbucks for a bit. They all got festive drinks as they're doing 2 for 1 on festive drinks between the afternoon everyday or something. I'm not too sure but you can Google it yourself. I didn't get anything as the festive range is latte's & hot chocolate which I don't like.

I stole photos that Kelly posted on her snap story. If you haven't seen already the John Lewis Christmas came out yesterday with Monty the penguin that everyone is now in love with & if you want one yourself, you'll be kinda glad it's actually sold out as it's £95!! That is one expensive penguin! But if you have no idea what I'm on about you can watch the ad here. The John Lewis Christmas ad has turned into a big thing now just like that infamous Coca Cola holidays are coming ad. I still think it's too early for Christmas even though it's cold enough for it, I don't get into till December even though later on when we left town they had a lantern parade to celebrate the opening of the ice festival up on Chavasse park for the ice rink & ice bar.

Christmas has come early!

So I kinda spoilt myself this week & did a bit of internet shopping... On Tuesday I bought myself a real leather jacket from New Look then on Wednesday I bought myself a pair of Timberland boots finally!!!

The Timberland boots well... I did a price match off John Lewis last month when Footlocker were still selling the classic junior boots for £69.99, I then had 28 days to buy the boots before I would have to resubmit a new price match. I left it pretty last minute to purchase the boots, only last week was I planning on getting them. However Footlocker have now changed their price up to £90 to match everywhere else which meant if I didn't get them I couldn't resubmit the price match. So just my luck when I decided I was going to buy them they didn't have my size!! So I was stressing, checking the site everyday & had to ring customer services to see if I could buy the boots in store however the price match they had agree with me was online only. The girl on the phone said they were going to get more stock in my size on Monday but I sent them an email to check this but they said they don't know when they were going to get more in. 

I then checked on Wednesday night which was the last day for my price match & I couldn't believe it they had ONE size 6 in stock online!! I was like what?? Really?? Is this a joke/dream what's going on?? I'd been checking it all day & there was nothing but around 9pm there was just ONE pair so I managed to bag myself a pair of Timberlands after over 10 years of lusting over them! (It really has been that long as they were "in fashion" when I was in primary school. I'm now 21... My mum wouldn't buy me a pair as compared to now they were cheap but were expensive for kids shoes.)

I've been eagerly waiting for my stuff & wasn't expecting them to turn up together. I was checking the trackers & both of them were received at Hermes hub at the same time which meant it really would feel like Christmas/my birthday but better! The courier was received at 8:56am which meant I was definitely due to receive it some time yesterday. I know they state you can receive things until 8/9pm but I always get them either in the morning or afternoon so when I'd left for the gym at half 5 I wasn't expecting them to come. Just as I got to the front door from the gym at half 7 I got an email to say my stuff had arrived! They were delivered at 7:20pm. I couldn't wait to open them, I was stinking of sweat but the shower could wait!






This is my comfy lounging around the house look as I'd been the gym this morning!






I got it in a size 10 as that was the smallest size they had online. It's a bit big & the sleeves are long but I think they're meant to be. I do love the style but I'm not too sure whether I actually like it that much as it doesn't have any pockets which is really annoying & such an inconvenience! It has a unusual lining as well. But I do love the zip detailing.

I'm going to sell it for £85. I bought it for £100, if you're interested please email me 
wing27@hotmail.co.uk
As you can see I've only tried it on but I still have all the tags on since I only got it last night.
