My Christmas and New Year in Pictures

Belated Season's Greetings and Happy New Year to everyone!

I know it's a bit late, I feel like I'm always a bit behind at the moment, I don't know how all you dedicated bloggers find the time to post over Christmas.

Anyway I thought I'd share with you a few pictures of my 'adventures' over the Holiday season...


A couple of pictures from Christmas Eve in the local with friends.

Christmas morning, my new Christmas Jumper and my Mum's perfectly decorated tree.

Christmas Dinner, my Mum always makes these cute little goody bags with chocolates, party poppers, bubbles and little sparkles in them.

To be honest I've never really understood the fasination with Pandora, or more precisely, why anyone would spend such ridiculous amounts of money on it/them, however upon opening this pretty little bag on Christmas morning I changed my mind.

Although none of the charms I have on my bracelet are Pandora (most donated by my Mum) I do intend to buy some to reflect my personality and have already spent hours trawling eBay.


I've wanted a French memo board for years and have even contemplated making my own (which I think I still will one day), so when I saw this is The Book Cafe I asked my mum to buy it for me for Christmas. I never had any intention of using it for notes/reminders but just to hang my jewellery from.

I've always been jealous of those of you with relatives that pass down vintage treasures from their wardrobes, that is until my Mum gave me this beautiful vintage faux fur coat. It's rarely been off my back since.



Probably the best 'present' this year was getting back together with my boyfriend, doesn't he look cute? He also bought me this adorable little Paddington Bear.


I celebrated New Year at a house party with friends, which was lovely, no queing up outside your favourite bar just to have to pay a ridiculous amount to stand in a crowded room surrounded by drunken idiots.

I'll be back soon with my New Years Resolutions and plans for some new features for the blog.

Such gorgeous gifts!! I'm jealous of your Pandora bracelet and little Paddington bear!! As long as I get a piece of jewelry and a little stuffed animal for Christmas, I consider it a jackpot :P These photos are lovely- I really like the one of the table setting.
