Christmas 2011

A few highlights of my christmas day, Mama and Dad did so good this year, such a lucky bear!

My top presents that aren't pictured are my new Canon Powershot, grey Ugg boots, pink Hunter wellies and a HUGE framed black and white photo of Twiggy!

Benefit, Bobbi Brown, NARS, Smashbox & Mac

So many books! Top of the pile are my 2 Marilyn Monroe books. love!

Personally, I'm not religious so Christmas for me is more about family. We were all up by 8 and presents were opened by 10 followed by nutella pancakes and lucky charms! We spent the rest of the day counting down the seconds to dinner, watching Harry Potter and napping!

I hope you all had a really lovely christmas with the people you love and have all over-indulged on the best day of the year! 

Love, 

December Catch Up

It has been a little while since my last blog post. Since moving back home for Christmas I've been busy for what feels like every moment!

My boyfriend and I went to London to see The Lion King, Covent Garden's LaDuree, Passionfruit Bubble Tea with popping boba (yum!), Juicy Couture iPhone case, Presents all wrapped up and a little bottle of Olbas Oil to soothe my blocked sinuses!

I'm back at work at the moment, I've got the deadly 9-6 shift tomorrow with the biggest head cold ever and then I'm coming home to 10 family members who are coming for dinner. 2 roasts in 2 days - oink!! I hope you all have a lovely Christmas, my next post will probably be early next week when we're all gushing over our presents!

Lots of love & Merry Christmas,

December Glossybox

This month I received the most festive box so far! It's shimmering red and sleek compared to the usual matte pale pink. The products came in white paper with a gold and red sticker tied with a black ribbon.

*Sorry for the bad photo quality! My camera is on it's last legs but I was desperate to post about this box the minute I received it!*

This month's products : 

Blink + Go Hi-Definition Mascara - RRP: £14.99

Cargo Cosmetics Classic Lip Gloss - RRP: £10.00

Deborah Lippmann Razzle Dazzle Nail Varnish with Stripped To Go Sachet - RRP: £16.00 for both or £14.00 for polish.

MeMeMe Seventh Heaven (Primer) - RRP: £15.00

Rituals Foaming Shower Gel - RRP: £6.50

I haven't tried any of these properly yet, but I have experimented with the nail polish on one nail. I think I'm going to need a polish of a similar colour underneath to be fully happy with it, but it is a beautiful colour without being too obviously "festive".

Anyway, this is the December Glossybox. Did you receive the same things as me? Have you tried them yet??

Let me know :)

Shoe Envy : Topshop

I have fallen in love with Topshop shoes recently! Being 5' 3" I'm a sucker for platform heels, and these shoes are perfect! The nude and black pairs are £65 and the faux snakeskin are £88 (here, here & here)

The brown moccasin pair are £62 here. They're not to my usual taste but they'd go nicely with black or blue jeans and a big (faux) fur coat! 

The middle pair really caught my eye, and I don't usually like shoes with ankle straps as I have very narrow ankles and I feel like an ankle strap draws attention to them. Having said that, I'd like to try this pair. The strap combined with the green transparent heel really makes a statement and I'd definitely like to wear these!

What's caught your eye in Topshop at the moment?
