OUTLET GIFT GUIDE: CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FOR HER


I love shopping for Christmas presents, but it can be a bit of a mare when you're trying to sort out gifts they’ll actually use, rather than something that’ll end up as a passed on present the Christmas following. This year, I've managed to get everything organized (sod the Christmas Eve mad dash), by doing the majority of my shopping at McArthurGlen East Midlands Designer Outlet. Life. Made. Easier. With a whole load of loverrrly brands (Kurt Geiger, Calvin Klein, French Connection were a few ‘eeep’ inducing stores), there’s plenty of options for picking up something special this Christmas.

For Nannas
I find older people the hardest to buy for. As bad as it sounds, buying for someone who has had 70 years worth of Christmas presents is tough! Within reason, they’ve pretty much had everything. With my Nanna, I tend to go for a classic present… she has no desire to be learning how to use an iPod at 80. I went for accessories, finding some pretty bits in Radley. This Christmas, my Nanny will be rocking some matchy-matchy grandma glam. Cute.  

For Mums
My mum doesn’t really treat herself to branded stuff, so that was top of my list for her presents… The kind of thing she’d love but wouldn’t normally buy. First stop was Sunglass Hut, where I managed to get her these Prada sungigs for under £70. The Chloé perfume was an extra to stock her up on fragrance, plus I know she’ll love having that bottle on her dresser. To me, gifts that are along the lines of  ‘wanted’ not ‘needed’ are always winners. 

For Brother's Girlfriends/Sisters
I haven't got a sister, so buying gifts for my brother’s girlfriend is always exciting… We’re into similar things so there’s always plenty I can think of! As I know she’s a lover of Calvin Klein, I ended up going for some comfies. Everyone needs comfies at Christmas. I’m so tempted to head back to grab myself some CK bits… It’s worth a trip for the discounts there alone!


McArthurGlen has outlets outside of London, Cardiff, Liverpool, Nottingham and York... They're definitely worth stopping by if you're looking for a bargain!

corset & knit midi skirt

Choker - DIY, Coat - c/o SheInside , Corset Thingymabobby - John Lewis, Belt - Primark, Skirt - Primark, Boots - Dr. Martens I’m guessing you’ll have realised these pictures aren’t from today. Oh my days it is snowy up North. My area has got well over a foot of the stuff so I thought you’d let me off with trekking out to take blog pictures! Today I’ve been for a walk with my mamma in the woods so I did get chance to take a few pictures while we had a wander. My outfit basically consisted of lots of layers & wellies.. not exactly on trend! If anyone does want a nosey at the outfits I don't get chance to post on here then there’ll be plenty of pictures on my Instagram (fashioninflux). The little corset thingymabobby I’m wearing is actually what I wore under my dress for prom. Depressingly, that was over 5 years ago now.. when did I get so old?! I’m definitely going to be wearing under some form of sheer shirt when the summer finally arrives. Having a...

lace flares & cropped jumper

Hat - River Island, Jumper - River Island, Belt - Primark, Lace Flares - H&M, Boots - c/o Missguided , Bag - c/o La Moda What does everyone think of the landscape pictures? I included a few today as sometimes I feel like you can’t really see the whole outfit. And the scenery was quite pretty. These pictures were taken a few days ago and my garden is now covered in much more snow. It looks lovely, but golly it’s a pain! I’m not keen on falling over or skidding in my car! I had to get my lace flares out after seeing Lucy look mega gorgeous in hers. I’m really sick of wearing tights and leggings so they make a nice change. They’re very see through so I’ve got a really thick pair of tights on underneath. I think I could have been wearing them in my first year at big school but they’ll do! The jumper I’m wearing has been worn to death since I got it for my birthday. It’s one of those things you can throw on over everything and feel cosy but still l...

slogan tee & cherry disco pants

Hat - River Island, T-Shirt - c/o Studded Petals , Belt - Primark, Disco Pants - c/o Glamorous , Boots - c/o Missguided I’ve been wanting to show you all this tee since it arrived. What do you think of the slogan?! I love it.. Such fun! Excuse the Miranda reference.. ‘such fun’ has now become part of my lingo. Ha. This is the closest I’ll be getting to anything Chanel related for a long time, which is fine by me.. it’s cute as a button. Fingers crossed though for one day earning enough mega bucks to end up flouncing around with a quilted 2.55 baby. Day dreaming yet again. Hopefully, you’re not all going to be turned off by a disco pants outfit. I know they’ve been overdone, but I’ve never really been the sort of person to be put off by something like that. If I like a trend or piece of clothing, I’ll still be wearing it even when everyone & their grandma’s has it. It’s more how you wear it I think. Annoyingly, I wore the t-shirt down after I’d take...
