Christmas Shopping feat - MODCLOTH Brown Steadfast Style Boot & LOTS of Christmas Gift Ideas!



Now, I realise that some of you will now be on something of a spending embargo in the run up to Christmas, and with this in mind I am going to be showcasing a series of affordable little treats either for yourself or to give as gifts to help with the overall Holiday expenditure.



These little Modcloth booties are just £31. They are not leather, but do have an 'aged leather' effect finish, and the classic riding boot finishes lend themselves to an end result far in excess of their actual price tag. These are very much a great gift or a little pick me up for a bad week, and in neither case will they break the bank. For such a cheap pair of boots they look rather fantastic.

The little lave up detail at the back is also completely adorable.



Here are some budget friendly clothing pieces too in case you are shopping for someone who doesn't like this style of boots.

FOREVER 21
Red Prettytough Combo Dress - £15


TOBI
Black Nena Crochet Dress - £31


TOMS
Blue Seasonal Classic Navy Stars Slipon - £35


PULL& BEAR
Brown Quilted Biker Pants - £29


NASTY GAL

Pink Plain Slipper - £19

Happy Bargain Shopping! If there's anything you'd like to see featured in a future Christmas Shopping post then please let me know!

We All Love a Bargain feat - SAM EDELMAN Black Knox Lace Up Boots



Don't get me wrong, these are still not super cheap (sorry for any confusion the title of the post may cause) but reducing the price of these gorgeous little Sam Edelman boots all the way down to £165 is something of a cause to celebrate. They are beautifully styled, sligntly reminiscent of McQueen, with embellished military styling and a glossy black leather finish. What's not to like?



They would work really well with my wardrobe, and at a saving bringing them close to the £150 mark, they are actually really difficult to resist.



What do you think? Perfect dressy winter shopping booties?

Wedding Wonders feat - CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN White Love Me Bridal Shoes and UGG White I Do Bailey Short Crystal Button Bridal Boot



If you are a bride to be for next year, you might want to take a little look at these cutie pie little pointed pumps from Christian Louboutin. They even cover your 'something blue' with the sweet baby blue leather lining, and are versatile enough to compliment various styles of gowns.

As is often the case, the back view is the clincher.



These are available at browns for less than £600 and if you really want special shoes for your big day, you could do a lot worse than adding them to your bridal wishlist.



While we're at it, let's add some gowns and jewellery too, shall we? Here are a few styles that I found that might help with your wedding wishlists! Plus the ultimate getting ready UGG boots as well (love them).
