Festive Decorations

Christmas comes once a year, and it starts in our house in September. I started buying little decorations in the Autumn in the excitement of Christmas coming and now with only 18 days to go they are finding places in our home.

I love our sparkly mini Xmas tree and Xmas diffuser Mom bought us the other week. She is Queen Xmas so I must follow in her footsteps!

When Dad met Jamie

Birthday Boy Pappa A really made me giggle this weekend when he decided to leave My mom and sister in a queue at The Clothes Show to meet Binky and have a wonder round. Dad recognised the Candy Kittens logo having had to live in a Made in Chelsea obsessed house. So he grabs candy Kittens founder Jamie Laing and Chelsea cheeky chappy  by the neck and starts talking rugby. Jamie played a charity rugby match in which one of the professional England team tackled Jamie and left him on the floor with broken ribs. The funniest thing was that Jamie enjoyed talking to Dad and asked him for a selfie!! We can't take him anywhere! 

Sausage dog mugs

On a weekend there is nothing I love more than staying in bed and being able to have a decent breakfast. One thing I'm awful for is not having a drink before leaving the house, so on a weekend our new mugs go down a treat in making sure I consume a heck of a lot! Me and Dan have an obsession with daschunds at the minute and crave for the day we have a garden so we can have our own. Next had a sale on and I spotted these mugs at £3!! They're huge and just the cutest!

Christmas Smiles

Dan and I have both been a bit under the weather recently so it was really nice a few nights ago to mess around taking selfies of us in our Santa and reindeer hats. We wind each other up so bad that by the end we are like hyperactive kids. I'm so glad I'm with someone who has a love for Christmas to match mine, it means I can cover the house in tinsel without any complaints he he! 

The 1975

It's finally the day!!! I can't believe I'm seeing the 1975! I know I'm fangirling here but I've fallen in love with them so much and I cannot wait to see what they are like live. We travelled to rainy Manchester, the band's hometown to catch their gig at the Apollo. After checking in I got changed into my new Miss Selfridge top which I'm in love with at the moment and off we went to join the que to get in. The que was mental. It stretched way past the uni and showed no sign of moving for at least half an hour. Thankfully pre-gig we found an awesome bar called Big hands so we chilled in their and listened to some vinyl before heading into the academy. 

The band were amazing live. It's all about the visuals. The 3D blocks, backing videos and of course their filler whale like music. Half way through Matty told the crowd to put their phones away and live for this moment and join him in experiencing the gig with our eyes and not through a screen. It was nice to see everyone put their phones away, and also gave me a better view becuase I'm so damn small! Highlights for me were the saxophonist who rocked, hearing Robbers and Sex live and Matty coming out after the encore with no shirt on...come on a girl can look! If anything I love them more now and can't wait for the album to come out in February.

The tree is up!

The day I look forward to all year, tree putting up day. I love that feeling when all of the Christmas things tumble out of the loft and cover the floor in glitter. We had to find a new place for the tree this year having moved house but I think it sits nicely in the corner of our living room. As soon as the decorations were on and the lights sparkling me and Dan were like small children all excited for the big day, only 21 sleeps!!

Tumblr

I've been Tumblring now for as long as I can remember. I have an obsession with finding inspiration photos that I think 'ooh I want to take one like that' and never get round to actually doing it. Id love if you hit my page up, give me some likes and comments!

Christmas food shop 1.0

It's Christmas!!!!! The first Christmas shop  saw us gorge on all the chocolate necessities! We also bought a gorgeous naughty and nice duvet cover for our Christmas bed. I'm hoping for the nice pillow! We also found these gorgeous smelling Yankee candle votives that are exclusive to asda. We picked up 2 home baking votives that Are divine, we've already lit one...shh don't tell! 

How to be Parisian

Dan comes into me after I've had a really rubbish day and hands me a little Amazon parcel. He tells me it was for Xmas but he thinks it will cheer me up. As I unwrap it, hooray! It's the book 'how to be parisian.' I stumbled across the book after getting Alexa Chung's 'It', it was a recommended read. It's gorgeous photos and hilarious quotes make it such an easy book to pick up at any point and have many useful tips that prove that although looking effortlessly cool, sometimes it's not all that 'effortless.' Must read girlies, I'm loving it 

Fairy

I finally cracked open my Thorntons Chocolate Fairy Princess I had for my Birthday, Someone knows me too well! It was the cutest thing ever with all the detail of the hair and dress...but it tasted even better!
