Sequins and Sparkles

Well, the festive season is just about still upon us with New Years Eve still to come and what better time to get your sequins on! If you can't go all out for sparkles at this time of year, I don't know when you can :) With the sales well and truly under way, I've been taking advantage of all the bargains on offer and turned into a bit of a magpie... Here's just a few of my recent purchases from ASOS - those who know me will be aware I'm a little addicted. Hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas and got your NYE outfits sorted to bring in 2013 in style!! xo

Dear Santa

   

2013 diary to document all the excitement that the new year shall hold :) / Barbour jacket so I can be stylish AND practical!

   

Christmas jumper for warmth and festive spirit / A new onesie only to be worn in the comfort of my own home!

   

Mulberry bag, a lot to ask but a girl can dream! / I'd like someone to find me the perfect pair of black boots, something I've been in search of this winter

   

Above knuckle ring from online jewellery store The Bohemian Collective / The most cute and snuggly snow leopard winter warmer from SpiritHoods

Seeing as I've been oh so good this year AND Christmas is in just 11 days time (eek!) I thought it was about time I shared my wish list with you :) xo

Festive London

The start if this week was spent in London getting just a little taste of living and working down there, albeit whilst staying in the comfort of a central London hotel! Fingers crossed that I'll be spending much more time in our capital come 2013... Although I'm a Northern girl born and bred, part of me has always felt at home in the South (as cheesy as this may sound!) with a lot time spent there visiting family from a young age. Anyway, this little visit was by no means all work and no play! I got chance to meet and catch up with a couple of my beautiful friends and spend a wonderful evening at Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. I left feeling very festive and full of the spirit of Christmas! I'd recommend a visit for anyone who has never been like myself, it's pricey for amusements and rides etc but free to stroll around and take in the festivities :) Next time I will most definitely be trying out the ice skating! Here's a few snaps of my little trip, my fabulous new Trilby hat, the gorgeous Anna and Kristie, my very first mulled wine (yes, I am 22 years old and have never tried it) and THE most festive restaurant ever. Delightful! Love as always and look out for more festive posts very soon... 16 days until Christmas! xo
