Christmas

For me Christmas is always a weird time of the year. I love it and hate it at the same time. I adore having time to spend with my family, as we don't normally have much time to get together. I can relax and hang around in my pyjamas all day and not do anything. On the other hand, the run up to Christmas drives me nuts - last minute shopping in crowded shopping centres, crazy errands and personal work on top of that. I still get disappointed every year that Christmas is just one single day - it's over before you notice! 
I was lucky enough to get quite a peaceful Christmas this year and to spend it with my closest family. I finished my shopping surprisingly early which is very unusual for me. Anyway, all I wanted to show you is some things that I got from my family. Since I'm saving up to get a new Mac, I got very little apart from money - but I find that it's the little things that make me happy! Where's the excitement in opening a boring envelope?! 

Cosy slippers, YSL-esquee ring, Zara jumper, Coco Mademoiselle Perfume, and Coco Mademoiselle Shower Gel (don't think i have the heart to use it... it looks so pretty!)

Topshop "Arrow" boots

I promise you this is not animal cruelty, haha. Me and my brother got a tortoise each - this is my one featuring my ever so curious dog Lucy. 

Did everyone else have a good Christimas? To be honest I think I was a pretty lucky girl this Christmas! 

Primark & Topshop Haul

I'm absolutely loving primark at the moment. I have a love and hate relatioship with it, but as long as you look properly there is always something for everyone. They have so many cute jumpers in just now and they're comparable to Topshop or other more expensive high-end shops. I looove oversized jumpers, while I am normally a regular UK size 8, when I want something oversized I go for Size 14.

Topshop has a sale on just now, and I managed to bag some things I've been wanting to buy. The sailor skirt, I ALMOST bought about a week ago but they didn't have my size so I gave up. However my size came up in the sale ♥











In order of pictures:
* (tempted to call this acid-wash but it's not) grey oversized top from Primark £4
* Topshop navy sailor skirt (preciously £30), down to £18
* Topshop top/dress ( i will wear as a dress ) previously £12, now £8
* Primark nude pink thick woolen jumper (sooo cosy!) £11
* Primark PVC lace up pumps, cute floral interior, £8
* Primark Navy floral bodycon dress (looks so shapeless, but lovely on) £13

I also picked up some jewellery but I'll dedicate a whole new post to that ♥
