Christmas Eve lunch

Hello!

 Christmas Eve

We were good this year :)

 

Hi I'm back from Christmas in Spain! We had a wonderful time, ate and awful lot and came back with heavy luggage (luckily no more weight than allowed!). Tomorrow we are having our "second Christmas" at James' parents house, presents included! Really looking forward to it and to curling up in the sofa next to the fireplace! :)
I promise to post some photos from Spain soon! This was my first day off since we came back on Wednesday and I spent it shopping in the sales...ha!

I wish you a very happy New Year full of success and exciting adventures!!

Christmas decorations!

Is the most wonderful time of the year... and therefore I have been decorating the flat a little bit with some tinsel, Christmas tree decorations and bunting (made out of Farrow & Ball's wallpaper samples) :)
I'm not sure when I will be posting again this month as it seems it will be a busy one for me with my birthday tomorrow, the start of a new job the day after and going to Spain for Christmas! So lots of love and I wish all of you a merry Christmas xx

& Other Stories

H&M's new brand & Other Stories has got, apart from a great name, a website where you can see short films which aim to explain certain aspects of the first collection. They are not what you would expect, nothing conventional, just beautiful conceptual films.

Christmas Outfit

My dream outfit: Sapphire dress, necklace, earrings and rib-cage ring all from Anthropologie; Salvatore Ferragamo Vara pumps.

I feel Christmas is almost upon us even if we are not yet in December (blame all the cosy window displays and Christmas lights in the streets!). So I'm already dreaming of a Christmas outfit, again even if I don't dress up that much for Christmas! It's all quite relaxed in my family and the only thing we really dress up is the table.
Anyway, I got this super duper beautiful dress in Anthropologie with my birthday money and I can't wait to wear it, so maybe I will dress up for Christmas Eve this year. I don't own any dresses (well I've got some, but I don't wear them, ha!) so you could say I'm making an exception this time. Luckily, the dress is not as short as in the picture and it covers my knees, making the fact that I'm showing my legs a bit less uncomfortable. I really feel so happy to have found a dress that I like myself in and that I can wear to lots of occasions. Or at least that's what I say to myself... :)
Weddings, dinner parties, the opera....the places where I go so often haha
The good thing about this dress is that I can get away wearing ballerinas or a small heel like the one that a pair of Salvatore Ferragamo Vara pumps have, the perfect excuse to own them!
I just hope I will use this dress enough to compensate the amount of money spent on it! (Although, I got it with a 20% discount..)
Wish me luck!
