Blogmas Day 25: Christmas Day 'Baby Its Cold Outside' OOTW!

This is a scheduled post today - seeing as its Christmas day I don't really want to be on the computer as I'm so traditional that Christmas day is about family! I thought I'd show you what I'm wearing today and what I will be doing!




Cream Fur Coat, Primark - £35


Ivory Pearls, Collectif - £15


Black Alpine Clover, Clarks - £39.99









My make-up is pretty simple and basic, I have some lovely shimmery gold eye-shadow for the glitzy Christmas effect along with some thick winged eye-liner! My lips are a burgundy colour to match my dress this is the Rimmel Lipstick in shade 107! (Cheeky little mince pie too, can never get enough!)

My itinerary for the day is pretty calm and relaxed! Mum and me get up at around 7 as mum makes Christmas Morning Cranberry breakfast cupcakes and I make pancakes! After we have all had a hot cuppa (I always have a super luxury hot chocolate on Christmas morning!) we then proceed to open presents, we don't normally start till about well 9.30-10 and by the time we finish its time to sort everything out and then start getting things ready for lunch. The dogs normally go out for a play with all their new toys until lunch time were they get spoilt rotten by me giving them around a tonne of treats (they only get spoiled on their birthday's and Christmas and they work it off so its fine!). We normally have lunch about 12-1pm and its generally just an array of things such as the ham my mum cooks and cheese and crackers and pork pie and nuts and crisps - basically a platter to be honest! This year I'm going to take the dogs for a Christmas walk because I feel I just need some time alone to reminisce everything and how much things have changed from last year. We then just put the radio on, play Boggle as this is always a tradition (and I always end up crying with laughter because my mum just writes 'new' words into the dictionary and I can't control my laughter). Me and mum then start preparing dinner just so we don't get too stressed out and we can relax. Instead of Christmas Crackers we have the idea of a table present (this is normally just a joke present which no more then £5). We split the Christmas dinner up between us - Dad does the starter, mum does the main and I do the dessert! After we just relax and watch all the Christmas programmes, I get into my new pyjamas with yet another hot chocolate and then I go to bed and relax and sleep and cuddle up!

Well I hope you have a fantastic Christmas and may all your wishes come true!

Lots of Christmas Love

Blogmas Day 7: Favourite Christmas Songs


I thought I'd share some of my favourite Christmas songs with you all! At the moment I have my 2 favourite Christmas Albums which are the compilation CD"The Best Christmas Album, in the world... ever!" and "Christmas Tales" by my favourite violinist Alexander Rybak... The first CD is actually my mums as she bought it before I was even born, and sadly this CD is beginning to show its age, but we are hopefully going to buy a new one (probably the same CD) soon! I know a few songs will be cover's of over songs, but to me they are still beautiful and they still have that meaning to them!
Below will be a list of links of my current favourite Christmas Songs, a short, sweet and relaxing post today!


Alexander Rybak - Silent Night

Elton John - Step into Christmas

(Hint - it's from the Grinch!) Jill Zadeh - Where Are You Christmas?

Slade - Merry Christmas Everybody

My ultimate favourite Christmas song in the whole entire world is Fairytale of New York - I cry everytime I listen to this. Everything about it...

Simple post today, but it gets us in the Christmas spirit!

18 Days till Christmas!

Lots of Love

Blogmas Day 3: My Christmas Tree!


Today I thought I would share some images of my Christmas tree this year - As you can see above my style has completely changed from last year. 2012 tree was very mix and match and all about crystal white and mix and match, this year is much more rich and traditional with themed colours of  Gold, Red, Green, White & Silver. Below are some pictures of my decorations that are on my tree this year... 

I also have this as a star - I just super love the Nordic Christmas theme!


This heart was bought for me from my ex-boyfriend the Christmas
before we broke up & he went back to New Zealand


I have 2 of these super adorable doves on my tree - my mum has robins on
the tree downstairs but I just love my doves!


This year I FINALLY decided to replace my old star which was
falling to bits. This is from Sainsbury's and is a Gold/Silver Ribbon star.


Isn't St. Nick just too cute on his little swing here?


I have 2 of these reindeer but my other one is red with a white heart
and white stitching. I bought these from Haskins last year... Again the nordic theme.


I have 2 of these super cute baubles in similar designs they were all different price ranges from
£2.90 - £3.95 
 
I couldn't not buy this, its too freaking cute! I got this in Sainsburys I think
for £2


Another nordic theme decoration - this has jingle bells on it and
a festive little dove!
Super simple post today I guess, but I thought it would just be a nice little post for you guys! 

22 days till Christmas!
