OOTD #2 A Christmas Feel

 Last night myself and my family spent the evening with a few of our friends who live round the corner; it was a really fun night and I got the chance to take a couple of pictures before we went so I could show you what I was wearing. I received the dress for Christmas from my parents and I really love how it looks on me and I think it suits my figure; it is from Topshop and you can find the black one here (I unfortunately couldn’t find the actual one I am wearing online which is a plumy, purple colour). I paired this dress with black tights from Primark and my black suede Chelsea boots from River Island. I did not pair any jewellery with this outfit as I wanted it to look simple however if I was going to a party or somewhere other than a friend’s house I would of worn my cross ring and worn black heels.

The Christmas Tag!

I keep seeing this tag floating around so thought it was my turn to do it

 

1.   What is your favourite thing about Christmas?

My favourite thing about Christmas is definitely spending time with my family. I also love choosing and buying gifts for all of the important people in my life such as friends and family; I try to put a lot of thought and effort into my gifts so the person receiving will love it.

 

2.   What is your favourite makeup look for the festive season?

I love getting ready and doing my makeup around the Christmas period as well as on Christmas day. I love to wear a glittery eye look with a bold red lip.

 

3.   Real of fake tree?

We usually have a real tree at Christmas time especially if we have visitors (just like we will this year) however if we are spending Christmas with family away from home, we have our artificial tree which is just as nice as a real tree (minus the lovely pine scent)

 

4.   Giving or receiving presents?

I love giving presents and seeing peoples faces as they open them however I cant lie.. I do love receiving them too :)

 

5. Do you open your presents in the morning or evening?

I open my gifts from my parents and vice versa on Christmas morning and then we open gifts from my other family such as aunties and uncles after our Christmas meal at lunch.

 

6. Handmade or bought Christmas cards?

Both! I like to be creative and make Christmas cards for my parents however usually just go for the bought ones which are equally as nice I think

 

7. What is your favourite Christmas film?

I haven’t watched that many Christmas films however I would have to say the classic Elf or the Grinch would be my favourite

 

8. What is your favourite Christmas food!

As like many other people, I really look forward to the Christmas dinner (especially when my mum makes it) however I also love eating the many tubs of chocolate we receive on the day.

 

I tag Honestly Tay and LauraPayne17 and anyone else who would like to do it!

I Wish I Had A Case..

I dropped my IPhone this morning onto my bathroom floor, and unlike many times that I have accidently done it before, this time the screen unfortunately decided to shatter. Now it didn’t shatter in just the corner, it shattered from the bottom right hand corner throughout the screen; fortunately I can still use it however I am a bit weary as I don’t want to get glass into my hand.

Now what inspired me to do this post, was that if I had of had my case on my phone, it probably wouldn’t have shattered when I dropped it. I do have a few phone cases, however like to change them around so that’s why I didn’t have one on at the time; I thought I would show you a few favourite phone cases I have had my eye on recently! Also, carrying on with the Christmas related posts, phone cases are great gifts to give to parents, friends, girlfriends and boyfriends etc.

The cases I’m about to show you, range from low prices to higher prices however depending on how much you like the case or how much you want to pay for it but here is just a selection of the types I like.

 

 

Galaxy iPhone Case - £36.25 - (Zazzle)

Tiger Diamante iPhone Case - £15.00 (River Island)

Sunset Aztec Pattern iPhone Case - £33.85 (Zazzle)

Mini Dot iPhone Case - £24.95 (Cath Kidston)

Moonshine Print iPhone Case - £8 (Topshop)

Black Vintage Retro Music Player - £1.85 (Ebay)

 

Thankyou for reading, hope you all have a lovely Christmas! :)

What to buy Her for Christmas

Hello Everyone :) So Christmas is just around the corner and I know how stressful Christmas shopping can be; what to buy who, what would they like, would they use it etc.! I know I always find it difficult thinking of what to buy my Mum/Auntie/Best Friend, so I thought I would help you lovely people by writing a blog post on 'what to buy her for Christmas'

 

1. Makeup: Makeup is a great gift for the females in your life (unless they do not wear makeup of course) Many brands bring out sets around Christmas time which make perfect gifts. For example, Urban Decay's Naked Palette would make any girl smile if it was under the tree (in fact I'm actually asking for it for Christmas)

 

2. Ipad Mini: Depending on your price range, the new Ipad mini would be a great gift to open on Christmas day; a great gadget for on the go and perfect handbag size!

 

3. Vouchers: Vouchers are the easiest present to give; you can pick the amount you want to give and for what store. There are also gift vouchers which include a variety of stores which would be a good option as the person receiving has a choice in where they want to spend it.

 

4. Perfume: As well as makeup, perfume is also a great gift idea. Just find out your Mums/Friends favourite perfume and buy it for them. My favourite perfume is Lovestruck by Vera Wang and My mums is Cinema by YSL!

 

5. Spa Days: Gifts such as Spa days and beauty treatments would be a thoughtful gift for any female in your life; to make this gift even more personal, you could book for her and yourself to enjoy together. Beauty treatments such as Manicures, Massages and Pedicures would be great options!

 

6. Photo: For a more personalised and inexpensive gift, why not print a photo and find a nice frame?; this really cute frame I found from paperchase! You could even create a college of memories which would result in a big smile on Christmas day!

 

I hope you all enjoyed reading this post and if you have any other ideas on what to buy her for Christmas just comment down below :)

Have a lovely Christmas!
