National Christmas Jumper Day!

H&M jumper
Fashion Union skirt
Boohoo coat

Happy Christmas Jumper day! I kept it cute rather than novelty, I just couldn't resist the little furry polar bear! Needless to say I was baking hot in work today but hey, it's all for a good cause. Dan said I looked like one of those bubblegum bottle sweets (my absolute favourites!)

The Ultimate party shoe


I can't remember where I first clapped eyes on these beauties but as soon as I saw them I knew I had to add them to my ever growing shoe collection. The beaded heel is the perfect touch for the party season and the black goes with anything, all for only £27.99! I'm sure you can all guess what will be gracing my feet at my Christmas party this years.

Bullring Blogger Snippets

I went along to the Bullring Blogger Christmas event on Wednesday evening, it was a lovely evening catching up with a few people and meeting some new ones. I snapped some bits that jumped out at me, The Selfridges personalised gifts and the beautiful Tom Ford Lips and Boys lipstick in the shade Patrick. I also had my hair done by the lovely Ricky from the Umberto Giannini salon in Selfridges, I didn't get a shot of the finished look but damn those curls were beauties. Just look how long my hair has got! Also I can't not mention the Umberto Giannini hairspray. Oh my god it smells heavenly!

  • The chill in the air at night but being curled up under a blanket.
  • Hot buttery crumpets for breakfast.
  • Burning candles - the smelly ones.
  • Binge watching TV series, I'm caught up on The Walking Dead and The Missing. 
  • My family. I'm so blessed to have such a big one.
  • Ticking everything off my to do list.
  • Having a tidy inbox.
  • My little Boulle, especially at night when he curls up on the sofa by me.
  • Good hair days (a rare one for me)
  • Those little moments in my relationship that makes it all worthwhile.
  • Spending hours scrolling instagram looking at Scandinavian home interiors.
  • Fresh bedding, I bought one from Asda with ski slopes on it.
  • When Boo greets me outside when I come home from somewhere.
  • Fresh flowers scattered around the house.
  • Scrolling back through my instagram profile.
  • Afternoon naps.
  • Salted microwave popcorn.
  • Making progress.
  • Having acrylics so my nails don't chip at work.
  • Yoga.
  • The two Thorntons advent calendars I've managed to bag this year.
  • Hour upon hour spent watching Youtube videos.

Oversized

Primark shoes
H&M bowler hat
H&M necklace

How cosy does this jumper look. It's not actually that thick, but the length is just perfect, if not a little awkward on me because of my height. An oversized top and super skinny bottoms is a look i'm really into, very laidback, just the way I like it on these cold winter days.

I also couldn't not mention my new shoes from Primark. I stupidly wore them to work and they ripped my poor feet apart. They're somewhat comfier now though, and I only noticed when I was going through these photos that the plastic tag is hanging off them. HA. Seriously though, I love them, I picked them up (more like hunted them down) in white too.

Last Christmas

Missguided dress
Primark Limited Edition bag
Primark socks (similar here)
Primark necklace

It must be said this year I'm struggling to find an outfit for my Christmas party. Last year I had three options, all Missguided, this dress being one of them. Maybe I've just developed fussier taste in the past 12 months, but nothing seems to wow me. I tried that beautiful white Topshop dress but the smaller size was too tight on my bum and the bigger to big on my chest. Sigh. I'll be sticking to my oversized dress at this rate, but maybe with dressier heels for the evening. I've got my eye on a beautiful pair in New Look

Places to visit: Za Za Bazaar

I walked into this place expecting your average all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant. Let me tell you, this place was not average. I felt like we'd stepped into some sort of New York food market. There were six different stations all offering up different cuisines. I couldn't even manage all six!

Each station offered 'live cooking' which was fun to watch and there were some things like burgers and stir fry's that you could put together yourself. I'm so glad we stumbled across it, we nearly ended up just going to Wetherspoons - thank god we didn't! If you're ever in Bristol or Newcastle I'd definitely recommend stopping by.
