Merry Christmas Everyone!

It's official! Christmas is finally here. Having as many ups as it's had downs, 2017 has definitely been a bumpy journey, but here we all are sitting happy and gracefully at the end. 

The date that marks the end of my year every year, is this Christmas breakfast with my best friend Séarlait. Every year we arrange to meet, catch up and just spend the morning together eating (haha a huge sorry to my body weight). And this year I ordered breakfast pancakes, fruit and of course the usual. Hot chocolate! 

I hope everyone was able to successfully get their Christmas shopping, gift giving and good deeds out of the way, because tomorrow marks the one day of the year where its legal to sit down and do absolutely nothing. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Makoto Matsushita - THIS IS ALL I HAVE FOR YOU

All images are my own.

On Boxing Day, I took a trip down to London (check out my vlog here) in order to take my brother back home, and made a little stop off in some shops to see what was what, and I must say, I liked what I saw. I'm also pleased to say that the warm embrace of Boxing Day was clearly present and I was able to get some great bargains!

White Trainers | CLARKS
I believe every person needs a good pair of white trainers, one especially with high quality. One of the main things that I wanted to ensure, was that I had at least one timeless piece in my wardrobe, be it clothing or shoes, as they can be styled either up or down, during the day or the night or just for running errands and thanks to December 26th for existing, I was able to do so.

White Long Sleeve | UNIQLO
As the colder weathers are still underway, the art of layering is still heavily present and necessary. So I once again decided to invest in some investment pieces that I know I will be able to wear for Winters and Autumns to come. With this white long-sleeve, I can definitely see myself pairing it up with either a v-neck jumper and the warmest coat you can imagine.

Camel Flannel Shirt | UNIQLO
This shirt definitely spoke out to me in ways no shirt usually does. The awkward length of the sleeves, and the sudden stop of the buttons... Everything was just so perfectly pieced together, and the main aspect that topped it all off for me, was the unexpected use of flannel, a match made in heaven did you say?!

Black Fleece Turtleneck | UNIQLO
I already had this turtleneck in a lighter cream colour, but I couldn't help myself and decided to go back for some more, but only this time in a larger size and a darker colour. Despite being a turtleneck and providing more warmth than other items of clothing, the added fleece texture definitely makes this turtleneck one to keep around, and actually doesn't require you to play the Winter game of layering.

Coconut Hand Lotion | & OTHER STORIES
This hand lotion took me by surprise as it was purchase that made purely because it was close to the till. But I must say, it was definitely worth the price, and surprise. The smell is just damn right gorgeous, as the scent leaves you feeling refreshed and its super smooth, leaving the hands feeling like they're ready for anything.

question: Did you snag any Boxing Day deals?

What I was listening to whilst making this post

jumper - THRIFTED | jeans - WEEKDAY | tote bag - IKON GALLERY | booties - RIVER ISLAND

Hey everybody!! Okay, so I thought I'd start off with a question... and that question is, Am I the only person who designates a whole outfit just for Christmas shopping?! Because if I am.. then I guess that makes me pretty weird (oh well). Either way, as I made it clear in various posts throughout this year, I love being comfortable when doing... pretty much anything. So what better way to tackle one of the most stressful times of year, with a completely dressed down look?! Sorry this is a very bummy outfit today, but I'm not sorry haha!x #SorryNotSorry

question: Do you have a special outfit JUST for Christmas shopping?

 Hey everyone! I thought I'd just make a quick post, just to wish you all a Merry Christmas, and I hope that you all enjoy this time not to just think about presents, but think about the people you're spending your time with!x

I believe that every year, people get sucked into the idea of having to find the 'perfect present', when really it should be less about the money, because at the end of the day its what you do WITH people, not what you do FOR them! Just remember to keep that in the back of your mind this Christmas, I hope you all have an amazing time, and I'll see you on the flip side!x

ps. MERRY CHRISTMAS

jumper - LEMAIRE collaboration with UNIQLO | turtleneck - DEPOP | culottes - BOOHOO | shoes - H&M | earrings - ASOS | bag - LUSH

Pink and White probably have to be one of my most favourite colour combinations, as I believe they make you seem expensive, and also quite innocent, which isn't a bad thing. I believe i've mentioned in an earlier post (read it here), many people begin to dress in dull and boring colours during the colder seasons, so I decided to bring in some very bright summer colours into my winter wardrobe x

p.s What's your favourite colour combination?

I thought I'd compile a list of beautiful ear bling as I believe that earrings are one of the main pieces of jewellery that completes the outfit. These gorgeous pieces could either be gifted (if you haven't got your christmas presents sorted out yet), or they can be for yourself (I know mine will be), So begin to look below for gorgeous pieces, that I dug around online for, for you x

MANGO
1 | 2 | 3
These earrings are super gorgeous and are defintiely perfect for any Christmas party you could be invited to, or also if you're the type of person who gets dressed up for Christmas day! My favourite out of these three, definitely have to be the first pair, there's just something about the twisted detailing that gets me super excited whenever I look at them x

NEW LOOK

Absolutely loving these pieces from New Look, mainly because, if they were paired with a minimal outfit, these earrings would do the talking and definitely make anyone blush! My favourite out of the four has to be No.3 x

ASOS
1 | 2
Everybody knowsI love a bit of ASOS, and especially their earrings! Despite the pricing, the quality is actually really good and they do last a long time. So the earrings currently on my radar are these two gorgeous pairs! My favourite are defintely the first pair, because who doesn't love a double hooped earring? And suprisingly, I actually already own the second pair! You can see me wearing them here . I guess I'm suggesting them because I want to spread the love and I would love for you guys to own them too!x

H&M

I never usually go to H&M for earrings, however, I was recently browsing through the website and I must say, these 4 pairs defintiely grabbed me! They're very different to other earrings that I usually come across, and I think my favourite out of these definitely have to be No.3 x

Which were your favourite pair?x
