Christmas Eve!

Im 20 years old and I have never been out on Christmas Eve before, I guess I still turn into a little kid at Christmas and want to be chilling at home with a cuppa and some biscuits! But this year, me and my boyfriend decided to go out for a chinese with some friends! And I have to say, it was great fun! Don't want to sound like a total nerd but I was careful with how much I drank because I so didn't want to ruin Christmas day with a hangover from hell!!

I recently bought American Apparel's disco pants in black from ASOS (these can be purchased here), so thought I would give them a test ride on Christmas Eve.

Chubby Stick

I have wondered how Clinque's Chubby Sticks worked for a while now.. Because to be honest they do look rather like crayons!! But fortunately I was lucky enough to receive one for Christmas with this cute little gift case, and I have to say now I am a chubby stick lover - I want one in every colour! They're moisturising (perfect for dry lips in the winter) and it is SO easy to apply, it's just like colouring in your lips.

Monochrome Magic

As seen on the SS13 catwalks and on the high street, it's looking like fashion is very much "black & white" at the moment!

Here is a few of my favourite key pieces of this trend from Topshop...

Clothes Show Live - NEC Birmingham

So on the 9th December me and 2 friends visited the Clothes Show Live at the NEC in Birmingham. I have previously been to the London show a couple of years back now, and I have to say the Birmingham show is enormous!! It was filled with stalls of new up and coming designers and brands as well as fully established brands such as Barry M and Models Own offering great deals on products and goody bags. It also had a catwalk for this year's Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model contestants, they were walking in a number of stunning dresses by Miss Selfridge.

After hours of browsing through all of the different stalls and watching many different demonstrations, we stopped for a spot of lunch and then watched the Suzuki Fashion Show. This was one of the best fashion shows I have seen, not only were there catwalk models, it was filled with talented dancers and performers.

 

I had a great day and it is safe to say I was absolutely cream crackered when I got home! Here's a little snapshot of some of my goodybags...
