RIGHT It's a full week into November I really need to start thinking about what to buy people for Christmas. When I was younger I was super organised with my gifts, I'd have list after list and even know what cookies I was going to bake for everyone well in advance of the John Lewis gift catalogue being released. However, in my old age I have become a lot less efficient and so am forcing myself to think early about what to buy. It's men I tend to find are the most difficult, in particular my Dad who just doesn't.like.anything! By stark contrast my Mum is the easiest person in the world to shop for - books, cosmetics, house items she is a breathe of fresh air for shoppers. So here is my minimalist's guide to Christmas and I will be posting a few more of these in the run up to the festive season (a 'men's' one I think is in order).

I will get some outfit posts up this week, I've had trouble with the SD card the photos were on so hopefully that'll all be sorted by the end of the weekend :). I've been slack, I know but I'm going home for a few days in a couple of weeks so fully intend to dedicate some decent time to the blog (and Christmas shopping, of course!).

 

Thanks for reading!

Valentines Day Gift Ideas

Ok ladies Valentines Day is around the corner and if you haven't already been dropping hints then now is the time! I'm sure no man would object to the idea of this beautiful lingerie or, if you're trying to set the mood, these Diptyque scented candles would certainly do the trick.

They're not really that romantic but I've fallen in love (see what I did there?!) with these really cute elephant cushions by The Rise and Fall and they worked really well with this collage wishlist!

 

Clockwise from left:

1. Maison Close Bra

2. The Rise and Fall cushions

3. Journelle PJ set

4. Diptyque Noisetier scented candle

5. Diptyque Baies mini candle

6. Threshold Accent Table

What are your plans for Valentines Day? I'm not big on the cutsie fluffy stuff so an evening of nice dinner and wine will suit me perfectly. 

 

Thanks for reading, outfit posts will be up tomorrow (weather permitting!).
