Christmas Gift Idea Number 2: Embellished Shirts

Here's a round up of my favourite  embellished shirts on the high street to make your Christmas shopping easier.

 Urban Outfitters £42

Review: A good fit in the length of body and sleeves. Love the shape of the collar and subtle use of jewels at the collar tips. It has a cowgirl theme, which I like.

 Urban Outfitters  £40

Review: this loose, silk sleeveless shirt has unique triangular studs on the collar, which I really like. Cool to have sleeveless, quite rocky. It is a bit see-through so be smart about your underwear.

 Marks and Spencer's  £35

Review: a green silk shirt with sequins on the shoulders and wrists. Hangs nicely and I like the simpleness of the details. Doubtful the colour is everyones cup of tea.  Good price and you can guarantee not many people will be wearing it as it is unique.

Marks and Spencer's  £35

Review: a white silk shirt with sequinned details on the shoulders and wrists. Again a cute and simple design. An alternative colour to wear than the green above. 

New Look  £24.99

Review: A soft denim shirt with gold studs on the shoulders. I love this loose fitted, relaxed denim shirt and it hangs well. Perfect with a pair of blue denim jeans. I prefer to wear the sleeves rolled up and the collar undone for a more informal look. I like the pockets on the front too.

You have to pick one of these up as a Christmas gift asap!

I think these embellished shirts have that little something else to what would normally be 'just another shirt' making them perfect for presents for your girlfriend, sister, mum and aunt etc. You name it, there are different styles for all ages.

It's all about collars at the moment, so be sure to do up all those buttons on your shirts to really make the most of the shape of the collar.

Christmas Gift Idea Number 1: Logo tops

 Topshop 'Owww' logo t shirt

£18

Review

Pro's: Slightly looser than the 'Geek' t shirt, which feels more comfortable for me. Love the pink wording against the blue. Nice rolled up sleeves

 Topshop 'Geek' logo t- shirt

£18

Review

Pro's: Love the blue and white together, and like the placement and font of the lettering. The rolled up short sleeves add a nice touch and make it very cute.

 Urban Outfitters

£45

Review

Pro's: Simple and stylish logo. Has the 90's vibe, very edgy and 'street'. It's my favourite colour, black. I can wear this with anything, so a good investment.

H&M logo vest top

£9.99

Review

Pro's : Simple use of colour and print. I like the white and black together, and it's hangs nice and loose. Is perfect to wear with jeans and a pair of biker boots. Very me. Such a good price it doesn't matter if I only wear it a few times and never again!

I have been living in slight denial about the time left until Christmas. I hadn't seem it come around until wham! It hit me smack,bang in the face today. There's fake snow on Bond St?! Christmas lights everywhere I turn, in every shop window and not to mention the faux fern trees and little santa's giving me the stare.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I love the build up to Christmas! I never get to celebrate as much as this...ever! And it's not even my birthday! Jesus Christ! Yes, it's him! He's responsible for us staying out late in the week and waking up with a headache and feeling ok about it because, "Everyones doing it....What's the 'ish? "

To make things easy for you I have come up with a series of ideas for presents and will be uploading them daily, so be sure to follow by email or go to Bloglovin and follow 'thelondonmodelcitizen' there!

I hope you enjoyed the first in my series of "Christmas Gifts Ideas". Logo tops; ideal for any of your friends, your girlfriend, your sister, your cousin, teacher...? They are fun and adorable and really quite cool. They wont break the bank either!

What are you filling up your stockings with this

Review

Pro's: With the main colour being navy blue, it is slightly more low key than the other jumpers. Very sweet pattern and an added touch around the wrist.

Review

Review

Pro's: Affordable, good fit on the arms but a bit baggy around the bottom (you get what you pay for). The most Christmassy colour and design; I feel like a Christmas cracker.

Marks & Spencer

£35

Review

Pro's: I love the reindeer on the front; so sweet. Great fit, good length and very soft. Warm use of colour, very complimentary. Good cost, my favourite on the high street.

We all know that Christmas is not Christmas without a bit of festive fashion fun! It just gets us in the mood and why not, we wait all year for it to come we might as well go all out and dress for the occassion.

Get Your Christmas Dress! Ranking of the high street

With Christmas just over a month away, the shops are filling up fast with all the sparkles, colours and glitz they can muster. 

I'm already reading about what to wear, how to wear it and when to wear it at Christmas and it's making me a little bit twitchy. 

Like most of us girls we want to get our hands on the best out there and getting it right the first time is essential. With so much to choose from on the high street I thought I should do the honourable thing and source out what's worth it and whats not! 

Cut out the average and the just plain rubbish. We haven't got time for any for that. We know that it's a desperate sprint to the finish line, sequins at the ready!

Speaking of a fast sprint, I'm running low in energy reserves because I've been focusing on the  necessary tasks such as party planning and festive blogging (obviously).   

Anyway, enough excuses. If you like fashion and LOVE to party here are the top high street Christmas Dresses you need to get your hands on before December 25th! That's 6 weeks from today! Crikey.
