Hello Everyone!! I'm back after a short festive break and I thought I'd show you all you nosy parkers (like me) what I got for Christmas! Santa was very good to me this year and I am so happy with all my pressies!

Morphy Richards Soup Maker - This was from the other half's mum and dad! I had been wanting this for ages so I can make lots of tasty soups to take to work! I like that this does the cooking and the blending for you, so less washing up!

Hairy Bikers Cookbook - My auntie bought me this book as she knows I've been following the Hairy Bikers diet cookbooks recently. I cannot wait to try out the recipes in this book. There are some amazing looking things in here!

Yankee Candle Wax Tart Burner - This was a present from my other half! I recently bought the matching tea light holder and I was desperate to get my hands on this! Also I don't have a wax tart burner so this is a great present! He also bought me 10 wax tarts to get me started. I got 5 baby powers tarts and lavender, black coconut, christmas cookie, icicles and sweet apple ones too! 

Cat Cushion and Small Jar Yankee Candles - This was a gift from my best friend (along with some highly inappropriate chocolate willies!) As you can see, she knows me very well! The scents she bought me were snowflake cookie and cranberry pear, two which I've been dying to try out! And how cute is this cushion?!

Kitten T-shirt - My parents brought me this back from Thailand. It is a lovely long top which will be perfect for wearing with leggings and boots!

Sequin Love Heart Jumper - This jumper is so fluffy and cosy! I've just started getting back into wearing jumpers again so this is a perfect addition to my wardrobe.

Leopard Print PJ's - Of course you need to get some new PJ's at Christmas. These were from Primark and they are just so soft! 

Tartan Leggings - My mum knows my style so well! I've had my eye on these for ages! I already have the matching top and skirt set and the colours are so lovely so these leggings will be well worn! These have gone in the New Look sale so you can grab these at a bargain price now!

Lush Goodies - I had been banging on to my other half for ages that I hadn't managed to get my hands on a bottle of snow fairy yet! Everytime I went into my local store, it was sold out! It was still sold out when he went in to get me some so he bought me this lovely gift box which contains a small bottle! He also picked up the other limited edition shower gel, hot toddy which smells so christmassy!  He also bought me a tub of the famous Lip Service lip balm!

Teddy Bear - This bear is wearing a t-shirt with I love Ed Sheeran on it! That says it all really ha ha! 

Stocking fillers from my parents - I always get a second stocking to open at my parents' house! They bought me this beautiful travel journal which I plan to fill with photos and keepsakes from my travels! They also got me this cute cat keyring and coin purse! And of course a giant tube of mentos! 

These were all gifts from my other half! 

Nashville DVD - I had watched the first season of Nashville on NowTv but they have not put up the second season yet so my other half bought me the DVD so I can finally see it! 

Ugg Slippers - These babies finally made their way into my life! I will now have cosy toes forever more! Just love them!

Husky Sled Ride - How amazing is this! I am desperate to get a husky puppy but we just don't have room for one in our little flat so my other half bought me a sled ride so I can see them at work! You get to spend 2 hours playing with the dogs too which I am so excited for! 

And finally my auntie bought me this giant bottle of Nando's sauce! The other half and I had an argument one night over a bottle of hot sauce and she bought this as a little joke! I'm sure this will be well used in our house since I absolutely love Nando's! 

So that is the majority of my Christmas presents! I will also be writing a little post about the 2 blogger secret santa's I took part in very soon, so keep your eyes peeled for that! 

I hope all my lovely readers have had a wonderful christmas! I'd love to see what Santa brought you, so leave me your links below!

Hello! Today is a beautiful sunny day so I thought I would wear something to brighten up the office a bit. I was given this lovely kimono as a birthday present and I've been dying to wear it! I teamed it with my cute black skater dress with n embroidered flower neckline, and my trusty leggings and black peep toes. I've had numerous lovely comments on my kimono and it's keeping me nice and cool on a hot day so I'm delighted.

Hello everyone! I'm back after a short break with a new outfit post! I've been so busy over the last few days as it was my birthday! I'm now the grand old age of 22! I went for a little girls day out on Monday and I picked up this pink bird print dress in the next sale! They only had size 10 or 22 left, but I just had to have it so I went for the 10 and prayed it would fit. I have to say I'm presently surprised with the fit! I paired it with my pink cardigan and shoes and some black leggings for work today and lots of people have commented on how nice it is! 

Have you bought anything nice in the next sale?

I better plod on with my work now, I'm on a half day tomorrow as it's my other half's birthday so there's lots to do!

TheSundayPost #9

Hello everyone! This post is a little late but I just didn't have the energy to blog yesterday! Here is my weekly roundup through Instagram! 

On Wednesday I saw the Queen and Prince William!! I was very excited haha! 

The weather was so gorgeous so I had a little picnic in the park! 

This was my throwback Thursday post. Totally wishing I was on the beach instead of in the office! But only 10 more weeks til I go back! 

And finally, this picture made me giggle. My other half always says I'm such a people hater. I'm not but I'm very easily irritated haha! 

Have a great week :)

TheSundayPost #8

Hey Everyone, hope you've had an awesome week. Here is my week through instagram!

The boss bought us these cause it was veryyyy hot in the office! Yummy!

I got a new mouse pad which has a tropical island and the wrist support is supposed to be the ocean. I cried with laughter at my desk for hours because I cut a shark out of a post-it. Is it sad this was the highlight of my week?

OOTD: My new navy tube skirt :)

Payday Treat. Thai noodle box 

And finally, my favourite boy :) 

Hope the week ahead is great for everyone :)

Passion Projects #BEDM

Hello everyone! Today's topic is passion projects- what do you love and would love to make money from?
I've loved fashion from a very young age. I used to love picking out all my outfits and posing for photos!

This was me aged 4 in a very well matched up outfit! haha!

So of course, I'd love to make money from fashion! I know it is such a competitive market though, and the chances are highly unlikely! Of course, It's possible that I could eventually turn this blog into a job! 

At one point, I wanted writing about fashion to be my job! I started a journalism degree in 2010 but I found it was aimed more at people who wanted to write for newspapers, which wasn't what I wanted to do! So I switched to doing a Law degree (strange choice I know!) I'm now nearing the end of my degree and trying to work out what I want for the future! For now, I'll continue writing my blog, and who knows, maybe one day someone important will see this and I'll become a huge fashion journalist! ha ha!
