I’ve never been much of a gambler. In fact, I’ve only made two bets in my 26 years.Once on a horse at the Grand National that – much like me when faced with running – decided not to start. And once in a Euros sweepstake at work. My team was Spain. In my limited football knowledge, I thought I was on for the win but they didn’t even make it past the qualifiers.
However, if you asked me to gamble on which fashion trends we’ll be sticking with in 2017 (well, that feels weird to type!) and which we’ll be throwing on the scrap heap, it’s a whole lot easier. Let’s just say, all bets are off.
Trends to Stick With
With January officially here, now’s not the time to be buying a whole new wardrobe. So it’s good news that there are some key trends from the past 12 months that you’ll be pleased to know are sticking around:
1. Loungewear
Yes girls, the casj trend is set to be very much alive and kicking in 2017. While it’s still not socially acceptable to rock up to the office in your dressing gown, mixing casual and more luxe pieces is still going to be big news next year. Think gym to drinks
Pop sensation Miss Ellie Goulding celebrated her birthday this week and we can’t get enough of her killer vocals and effortless off stage style. Think chunky boots and grunge details to steal her style…

As much as I love London, I am a self-proclaimed Manc-lover. What Manchester lacks in sophistication, it oozes in unapologetic northern charm. Plus you can’t really beat the northern humour (maybe I’m biased). So here’s a list of what makes Manchester great:

New Year’s Eve is the biggest, most highly anticipated, glamorous night of the year. So when it comes to your outfit choice, you just cannot afford to go wrong, besides it’s the last night for a while that it’s acceptable to be covered in glitter/sequins/sparkle, so you best make the most of it!

Not gonna lie, all this build up is getting a bit stressful now. From present shopping on a threadbare shoestring to the realisation you left it way too late to get your train ticket and could be going on a European mini break for the cost of your trip home, it’s been real, too real.
The end is in sight. With any luck you are just a couple of tear inducing last minute shopping trips and a few ‘well I really deserve this’ drinks away from the big day. Basically, your chance to CHILL is coming so hold on tight. Unless you agreed to host this year, then we’re praying for you, you brave unfortunate babes.
Of course the stress levels won’t just casually drop come December 25th, there will be hurt feelings, grateful feelings, loved up feelings, seriously pissed off and probably drunk feelings but to summarise…
FEELINGS.
Unless handled with caution, the aforementioned feels could result in a nausea inducing roller coaster of a day, so here’s how to boss it boohoo style…
7am
You are in the OMG I can’t wait for Christmas camp OR the feeling fragile and antisocial from the night before crew, either way your mum/dog/kid sister ain’t gonna let you sleep so you may as well drag yourself out of bed and head downstairs. Give out some hugs, grab a breakfast cocktail and curl up on the couch, just in time for The Cat in the Hat (7.35am BBC2), old school laughs, warm feelings and fizz will bring you back to life.
You don’t like The Cat in the Hat?!
