Season's Greetings!

Happy Boxing Day! Hope you all had a lovely Christmas. You'll be pleased to know I've recovered from my bug, have had a lovely couple of days and am just eating chocolate gateaux (not a huge fan of christmas pud if i'm honest) and watching telly now. Lovely! Still praying for a sudden snow blizzard so I don't have to go back to work tomorrow, but hey ho.
As you can see, I was lucky enough to receive some of the things from my wishlist! No, sadly still no Mulberry Alexa! But all in good time...

Enjoy the rest of the holidays! x

Sickness and wishlists...

I'm blogging from my sickbed today as I seem to have caught some kind of stomach bug. I'll spare you the details, but I feel bloody awful. Wah! It's at times like this that I wish I was at home with my family.

It's not all bad though, I suppose - at least it's happened now rather than on Christmas. Plus I got a day off work, which meant sleep marathon, movie marathon, and a chance to dream up a Christmas wishlist...










What do you think? Oh yes, I'm quite aware that I'm unlikely to get half this stuff... (my coat! my coat! come on, mulberry alexa!) but hey, a girl can (delusionally) dream, right?!

Bath at Christmas

I've been back down South for the past couple of days this week spending some quality Christmas time with the fam. Today we visited the beautiful city of Bath, Somerset, which is about an hour and a half drive from Bournemouth.


My photographs don't really do it justice, but it's such a gorgeous place, easily one of the most beautiful citys in England - just rows and rows of elegant Georgian buildings made from Bath Stone.


It's kind of become a Christmas tradition for my family to visit around Christmas time, and you'll be pleased to hear that my visit resulted in me finally buying some Christmas presents! Three, in fact. It's a start.










Yes, I had another Toffee Nut Latte (i know!) and an amazing black forest cup cake. Can't believe how much sweet stuff I've eaten since I got home. You can guess my New Years resolution.

Now, I leave you with this, because I'm mature...


;) Speak soon!

Christmas Shopping...

I just got home from an attempt at Christmas shopping on Oxford Street and have come back completely empty handed...

I had good intentions, but it appears shopping for people is bloody hard, and so after just a few minutes of searching I found myself getting distracted. The next thing I knew I was trying stuff on for myself (complete success, may i had!) and sipping a Festive Toffee Nut Latte (and i thought gingerbread lattes were good!)

It wasn't all fruitless, though... got a few good(ish) present ideas (still got 15 days - i will do this!) and the chance to take a brilliant little outfit post where I've cut off my head and am standing like. I don't even know what.

Coat: Whistles
Shirt: Whistles
Necklace: Topshop
Skirt: Charity
Shoes: Russell & Bromley

Don't worry though, to make up for the lack of head I took the liberty of taking a head-shot for you...


Quick question before I go - what's your favourite perfume? I'm on the hunt for a new one and I'm finding that every perfume I try starts to smell the same after just a few minutes of sniffing. Most annoying!

Anyway, that's it for now. I shall update you on the Christmas shopping as and when it happens... Hope yours is going better than mine.

You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby.

So I foolishly popped into Topshop and tried on the coat I briefly blogged about here...



            

Oh yes. I knew the price, I knew I couldn't afford it, and yet I still went in and tried it on.

I am an idiot.


And I am head over heels, babyyy...
