I’m a football WAG and did a £170 Christmas partywear haul from H&M – everything looks expensive, I’m obsessed

A FOOTBALL WAG has hailed an “expensive looking” Christmas partywear haul after splashing out £170 in the high street store.

Ellie Butler is the childhood sweetheart of ex-Celtic midfielder Liam Shaw.

She regularly shares her shopping hauls and outfit tips with her army of followers on social media.

Unsurprisingly, her dressing room is packed with designer handbags, jewellery and footwear.

But the down-to-earth WAG still loves to hit the high street and her local supermarket for fashion buys too.

In a recent video, the newly engaged blonde beauty bagged some festive partywear must-haves in H&M.

She gushed: “I am so excited for this. If I was attending Christmas parties these are some of the pieces that I would style and create an outfit from.

“I’ve gone for quite a mixture in this selection. We’ve got some cooler, more casual Christmas party outfits, some extreme ‘hello it’s Christmas’ outfits and also a little Christmas jumper thrown in there.”

First up, the size 10 WAG picked up a long-sleeved jersey top covered in sparkly diamante embellishments.

And the top, which comes in sizes XXS to XL, is a bargain at just £12.99.

Ellie said: “This is a nice in between. I feel like this is perfect if you’re not wanting full sequins, you’re not wanting to buy an outfit that you can only wear at Christmas. You can use this all year round.

“This is a really nice, gorgeous quality. It’s so thick and soft, a long-sleeved black T-shirt with these little diamonds all the way around.

“It’s nice and sculpting. I’m still a little bit sparkly and I can wear this all year round. I love it. I feel like it’s really flattering as well.

“I don’t feel like this was expensive at all and it looks really expensive. I just love the style of it.”

Next, Ellie paired £19.99 sequin mini shorts, available in XS to XXL, with a £37.99 black tie-belt blazer.

She gushed: “These shorts are the perfect length for a really short short. They cover my bum but just cut off at the perfect length. I think they look so expensive.”

And the blonde beauty was just as impressed by the blazer, as the she added: “I can still have the oversized look but with a cinched in waist too.”

Determined to bag a more understated Christmas jumper, the 5ft 7in fashionista managed to find an adorable £24.99 bow detailed cream jumper, which is also available in dusty pink.

She said: “If you want a Christmas jumper but you don’t want it covered in Santa or reindeers or gingerbread men, I feel like this is a great alternative.

“You’ve got a little bow which is still trending at the moment. It’s a really nice soft jumper.

“I just think it looks really expensive but it’s perfect for this time of year. It’s giving Christmas without screaming ‘hello it’s Christmas’.

“It’s just nice and subtle but I think it’s really pretty and girly and cute.”

Ellie also hailed a £37.99 rhinestone-embellished vest top as “the most stunning vest that she’s ever seen”.

But her final purchase didn’t prove quite as successful as she was left disappointed by a brown and gold £37.99 sequined A-line dress.

She sighed: “I feel like if we had something like even a shoelace to tie around the waist of this and give it a little bit more structure, a little bit more shape, I feel that would be really flattering.

“It’s actually really comfortable it’s got really nice lining inside so it’s not itchy at all I feel like the shape’s quite unflattering

“I feel like cinched in and a little bit shorter makes all of the difference.”

Ellie’s footballer beau Liam Shaw only played TWICE for Celtic in three years – and never tasted defeat.

His last game in the Hoops was a sub appearance against St Mirren in the league back in December 2021, but he started in the 3-2 Europa League win against Real Betis earlier that same month.

However it didn’t spell a run and he was loaned out to Motherwell for the second half of his first season in Scotland and then spells with Morecambe and Wigan followed before his release this summer – one year early.

But he managed to find a new club five weeks after the transfer window closed – and he’ll work with a former RANGERS player no less.

Shaw has signed for Charlie Adam at Fleetwood Town on a deal until the end of the season.
