I am a fond user of Lyst which is an online shopping platform that enables you to search and shop Β styles and latest trends across multiple retailers. I was asked by the fantastic team at Lyst to put together my ideal Holiday Wish List. Here are the items that I am seriously lusting after this holiday:
1. Tulle – Because it’s not really a celebration until everyone is bursting out in their favourite tulle skirts. Tulle skirts and dresses are the ultimate festive outfit. From high end to low end, here are a few which have caught my fancy. This Alice + Olivia | White ‘catrina’ Beaded Tulle Midi SkirtΒ is just divine.
Steal: Β£35 Little Mistress Blue Maxi Tulle Skirt, Β£58 Nasty Gal Get into the Groove tulle skirt
Splurge: Β£523 Sachin & Babin Noir Floral Tulle Skirt, Β£230 DKNY Black Tulle and crepe skirt, Β£1891 Michael Kors Black Paillette-dot tulle skirt
2. Sparkle – It’s always about sparkle, glitter and shine when it comes to the festive period. Think heavy embellishments, lots of sequins and brilliant beading.
Splurge:Β Β£385 Casadei blade glitter pumps
Steal: Β£60 Topshop metallic pleated foil skirt, Β£50 Topshop feather sequin jacket
3. Something red
Nothing says Christmas like a bit of red. Be it red wine, red lipstick or a lady in red; it remains a significant party colour. I like to style my party looks a little bit unconventional and I a dying for this Β£695 Amanda Wakeley Red lipstick kashibo pant.
Steal: Β£85 Aldo red graca heels,Β Β£21Β NavenΒ Red Jagger Sequin Dress, Β£59Β DKNYΒ Red Sequin Tunic Pullover, Β£60 Topshop red satin prom midi skirt (pictured below)
Splurge: Β£235 Self-portrait dress,Β Β£132Β Kate Spade Cedar streetΒ Mini maise Cross Body Bag
4. Cute bows, ribbons and pom pomsΒ
Because then it’ll feel more like a proper gift when I buy them all for myself π But really, who can resist heart-shaped trinkets, pom-pom heels or candy-wrapper shapped clutches. Kate Spade always delivers. This Candy Wrapper bag is at the very top of my lust list.
Steal: Β£70 River Island Bright Pink Barely There Sandals, Β£36Β J.CrewΒ Multicolor Crystal Drop Earrings With Bow
Splurge: Β£1420Β Judith LeiberΒ Gold ‘candy’ Metallic MinaudiΓ¨re, Β£225Β Vivienne WestwoodΒ Pink Satin Bow Detail Sandals
5. Killer heels –Β I don’t feel complete without a pair of my favourite heels to finish off my look. This pair of Β£895Β Christian LouboutinΒ Black Pigalle Follies Clair De Lune heels have the perfect amount of quirk sprinkled on to add pizzazz to my party looks.
Steal: Β£60Β ZaraΒ Gray Jewel High Heel Sandals, Β£40Β ZaraΒ Gold Glitter High Heel Shoes, Β£70Β ZaraΒ Black Lace-up Leather High Heel Sandals, Β£40Β ASOSΒ Multicolor Performer Pointed High Heels

Splurge: Β£333 Casadei Silver Blade pumps, Β£455Β Jimmy ChooΒ Silver ‘abel’ Coarse Glitter Pumps, Β£217Β L’Autre ChoseΒ Silver Glitter-Embellished Leather Pumps
6. Accessorize – Because obviously what better time to pile on the accessories than during the festive season?! Gold banglesΒ and earringsΒ I could buy all year long because they are just a staple. When it comes to dress jewellery, nobody does it like Bounkit .Β I love precious colourful stones in fine jewellery and they make some of the most beautiful pieces I have seen. They are on my dream list for sure.
I’m still crazy about the Olivia Burton bee motif watch which is on my Christmas Wish List.
Steal: I am in love with Skagen watches. I dig their minimalist and clean style.
Splurge: I’m a sucker for Marc Jacobs watches. This Β£232 Chrono Stainless Steel and Leather watch is beautiful. This Tom Ford Red lipstick box clutch though…swoon!
7.Β Faux Fur Fun –Β A fun faux fur coat is always a wardrobe essential for me. A lot of people think you have to shell out a lot of cash to get yourself a fancy faux fur coat. Not necessarily. Look at all these bargains I found!
Steal: This Beige Patch Faux Fur coat in multiple textures is only Β£95.
Another mixed texture patch work faux fur coat I am in love with is this Β£150Β Multicolor Swing Coat In Patchwork Faux Fur. It is such a statement maker and will definitely have you standing out for the right reasons.
And I couldn’t recommend this Β Β£89Β TopshopΒ Multi-coloured Faux Fur CoatΒ enough. It’s such a steal. I have seen it on a few bloggers this season and it’s sizzling I tell you!
Opt for a vintage hippie vibe with this Β£189Β Urban OutfittersΒ Multicolor Faux Fur Chevron Stripe Coat. It’s well-deserved treat.
Splurge: This Β£972Β GiambaΒ faux fur panel floral coatΒ would be such a worthy splurge. Look at at all those soft pink hues on that floral print…yum!
And of course I always keep a skater or maxi handy for events. What items are on your holiday lust list?
What will you be seen partying in this holiday season?
