3. Neville Shave & Face Wash: £22 - ASOS // As manly as grooming is going to get - great for the stubborn boy that needs a bit of a pamper.

4. Jack Wills Somersby Wallet: £39.50 - ASOS // A good quality wallet can last years, so a leather wallet is the perfect gift for a man of any age.

5. Russell Howard Tickets: £27.50 each - The O2 // There's nothing better than letting go and having a laugh at a stand up show, I chose Russell Howard as I think he's hilarious, but The O2 offer a wide selection of show tickets if your man is more into music!

12. Witchcraft Socks: £10 - Drop Dead // Socks are one of the safest bets to give as gifts, so why not spice it up with a patterned pair!

It may or may not have taken me absolutely ages to put this together, but I thought it would be a great idea if any of you are having a Christmas present crisis.  I tried to pick out items that would suit all the men in your life; from your boyfriend to your granddad - I hope this gave you some inspiration!  Let me know any ideas you all have as I'm not even halfway done with my Christmas shopping and I'm always open to suggestions!

I've felt a little down today, having a bit of a future crisis so editing some outfit photos is a nice way to distract myself!  I absolutely adore this velvet skirt, and think it brightens up an otherwise dark outfit and I love how the soft texture clashes with the speckled blazer.  For some reason, skirts have been a huge part of my autumn/winter outfits this year, pretty much cancelling out denim shorts, which is big, as they were all I ever used to wear!  I'm also a bit of a newbie to the whole blouse-under-jumper thing, but I like how the stripes add a subtle monochrome detail - definitely something I'm going to be wearing more often!

5/ Clothes Show Live outfit (Missguided jacket & Ark playsuit)  6/ CSL purchases

A slow start to this week but ended well with me going to The Clothes Show Live (it's been a tradition since 2007!) and actually not spending too much money - go me!  Still have a lot of Christmas shopping ahead of me though, just need to brave the cold weather and heaving crowds!

As always this is quite the photo heavy post, but I loved so many looks this month I couldn't leave any out! I love how every blogger is so different with their own personal style and I'm always looking for new people to follow, so leave your favourites below and maybe they'll feature next month!

Spiked Damsels // Jeffrey Campbell

Lips // Mac Russian Red

A little late posting today but I really wanted to get something in before I went to bed.  No doubt I'll stay up replying to my endless stream of emails until 2am because I'm the worst (or best) procrastinator!  I love how this dress sucks me in, and the floral mixed with the tartan looks great - definitely got my eyes on the tartan leggings next, I think they're so awesome!  I have paired denim vests with my LovelySally dresses in the past, but they just go so well together, plus this Gypsy Warrior one is a new addition to my wardrobe so of course I had to feature it on my blog!  The best thing about this dress is that you can instantly dress it down by throwing on a cropped mohair jumper, sheer tights and some clunky boots; definitely good value for money!

I know this isn't really something I'd usually post, but I'd never heard of this kind of thing before so I really wanted to show you guys!  These aren't just any ordinary sunglasses - they are RainbowFX diffraction glasses, designed to enhance your visual experience, be you at a club, watching a firework display or want some trippy visuals for a photographic creation.

I got the Aviator glasses but there are many different models available, starting from just £6!  I took mine out when I went clubbing in Bournemouth and as you can see from the Vines, it made the light show that much more amazing.  Being the confident drunk I am, I introduced some (lots of) people to the glasses, getting the same OHMYGODWHATARETHESE reaction every time.  They're a great novelty item and definitely a festival essential for next year!

I feel as if I haven't posted a look featuring denim shorts in ages so here you go!  I look a little hunched over and of course the bitchface has made an appearance but I didn't take too many photos on this shoot so thought I'd use them anyway haha.  I love the cut of the crop top and this coat is so soft I can't even put it into words - I thought it would be the kind of matted plastic fur but it's the total opposite, definitely going to become a winter staple!
