FIVE THINGS TO THINK ABOUT THIS CHRISTMAS

IT’s nearly here. The big day! The day every child in the land is excitedly waiting for. The day that comes with all the expectations, all the hopes and all the stress.

(If we’re lucky.) However

A VELVET LITTLE BLACK DRESS FOR CHRISTMAS

I’M sat here surrounded by gift wrap and festive mess… So it seems only right that I share with you another festive style post today! A little more low key than my previous post, but still suitably Christmassy, today’s post was inspired by comfort. Yes folks, comfort. Because whilst I do love a heavy dose of glamour in my wardrobe, when it comes to stuffing my face with Christmas food

MAKING A (JEWELLERY) STATEMENT THIS CHRISTMAS

IT’S Christmas, it’s party time, so there’s only one thing for it. It’s time to roll out the bling and make a statement. As a real ‘magpie’ of a gal, there’s nothing I love more in the style world, than some sparkle or glitz. Particularly at this time of year when it’s sooo dark and sooo grey.

CRISPY duck is one of my absolute favourite dishes of all time. (I just cannot get enough of Chinese food!)

One of the things I really enjoy doing over the Christmas period, when I have some time off work, is trying out a

OUR NEW ADDITION…? A CHRISTMAS TREE!

THERE’S so much to love about Christmas… But in my opinion, the best bit of all. The thing I most love (besides the booze and presents that is) is the Christmas tree. And to be more specific, putting up and decorating our Christmas tree. Since being a wee nipper, nothing makes me feel more festive than battling with some branches, dangling some lights and getting tangled in some tinsel. Sure

PREPARING THE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS (WITH JOHN LEWIS)

CHRISTMAS is coming…the goose is getting fat. (Or something like that). But are you ready? And more importantly, is your home ready for the festive onslaught? It might feel yonks away yet, but let’s face it, Christmas is almost upon us. And so it’s time to get prepared. I love this time of year – even if it does involve a lot of work – because, well, it’s just magical.

SPONSORED POST: Christmas only works if you believe in the magic

ON SATURDAY I went out for a festive afternoon tea in my pyjamas. Yep really. They were leopard print and really rather fetching as pj’s go. Naturally I wore them with super heels (the slippers stayed at home on this occasion) and accessorised them to the max. Well it is Christmas after all right? Anyway, it was a pretty special gathering. There was delicious food, the best Christmas cakes I’ve
