Working in retail AND hospitality over the festive period has alot to answer for. I’ve missed blogging but simply didn’t have the time to offer some quality posts so please forgive my absence.
This will be a photo heavy post showing what’s kept me busy since I lasted posted.
December
At work one day we had a “Christmas Glam” theme. Whilst this outfit isn’t as glam as I would have liked due to the almost freezing temperatures in my shop layering was crucial!
Outfit deets:
Headband: Tesco
Cardigan: River Island
Jumper: H! By Henry Holland
Skirt, tights and socks: Primark
Boots: New Look
I freakin ❤ this H! By Henry Holland jumper and have worn it loads. The split in the skirt was far too revealing to wear without tights but I quite liked the effect of the printed hosiery with this outfit.
Another month another (few) trip(s) to Madeleines for some mouth wateringly good desserts.
December saw me become an aunty again 🙂
My sister gave birth to another beautiful baby girl. As the bestest aunty ever I may have did spent a small fortune of pink clothing from Gap and Debenhams.
I celebrated my birthday (no I will not disclose my age!). It was a rather sedate affair this year but was lovely to spend time with my nearest and dearest. Also how cute is my Minnie Mouse hat gifted to me by the mother?!
Just some of my Christmas gifts
The Bestest bought me this onesie and it is fast becoming one of my most favourite items ever!
I posted in my wishlist about wanting decent makeup brushes so imagine my delight when the parents gave me these beautiful Dior brushes. they are almost too pretty to use. Second best present was definitely my Cambridge Satchel. Bigger than my red one from the previous Christmas, I have used this almost every day since.
This H&M dress was my outfit of choice for Hogmanay. Rather daring for me to be exposing the midriff but I have decided to step out of my comfort zone with clothing and what better time to start than New Year.
This whole outfit cost me the grand total of £44 thanks to some savvy sale shopping!
Dress: H&M
Shoes: Nine West
Necklace: H&M
Ring: Primark
January consisted of many relatives birthdays, some illness and wedding dress shopping! No not for me (alas) but the bestest got engaged on Christmas Day and as Maid of Honour it was my duty to offer critical analysis of dresses. Although the wedding isn’t until next August both the wedding dress and my dress have been purchased!
So much for Dry January – LOTS of cocktails were consumed, favourites were from Tonic and The Roseleaf.
