First things first, my Christmas morning outfit. If you're a girl, you get to a point where you think about the fact that you're going to have your picture taken a lot, early in the morning, when you may have a sneaky little hangover from a bit too much pre-Crimble boozing. I've taken to getting myself set up with decent jamas and some quickly applied foundation and mascara to make the morning pics less horrific/sleep deprived (I am still that person who is too excited to sleep on Christmas Eve...). The Christmas paparazzi were enjoying this ensemble, which is all from Primark;
Disney Long-Sleeve top - I think this was around the £8 mark, is very soft and cosy and has Mickey & Minnie in santa hats on. Love it.
Fair-Isle patterned trousers - £6 I think (not sure...) they're just cotton, and have cuffed ankles. I went a size up as I knew I'd be lounging around in them.
Slippers - Tan suede type stuff with some faux fur lining £4. These are brilliant, but I did have to size up as I was just stepping on the backs of my proper size.
Next up, some more Primark purchases made in early December, some shortie festive socks which I wore at every cheer training session up til Christmas and two pairs of what Primarni are amusingly terming 'Cheeky Shorts'. They're tartan with a frill and the red pair have a cute waistband inside. They were £4 each and considering the detail about them, pretty impressive for that price.
More PJ's now, these super fleecy ones are from the men's section of Primark and they have CHRISTMAS DINOSAURS ON. They're just... amazing. Bowties (3 from Primark men's, black and maroon velvet, woven green, and a sleek red cross-tie from ebay HK) I loves em. I've been enjoying matching these with understated stuff like denim shirts.
In the same area of desire, here's my hat and snood combo for the season... CHRISTMAS DINOSAURS! This time from ASOS (and are currently in the sale if you fancy getting your hands on them) they're quite tight-knit so do keep you warm and I just love that the design behind them makes it look like they have tiny teeth for going RAWRRRR too. Teehee.
This beautiful bag was a present from my sister and I've been lusting after it for aaaaages (funnily enough we ended up buying each other presents from the same shop but that's another story...) this adorable little cross-body bag is from Disaster Designs and is made to look like a picnic basket! Awwh! It's got a zip-top inside too which makes it perfect as a festival bag, so it'll be heading to Bestival 2014 with me no doubt :)
The Sanctuary bath kit - This has a heap of good stuff in it I can't wait to try out, the sugar scrub is going to be so nice on my feet after Roller Derby!
Chanel No. 5 - I've wanted this for ages and ages. It's just so classic and so... grown up! I remember sneaking into my Mum's bathroom to steal a dab or two before I went to the cinema when I was a teen (maybe that's why she bought it... haha)
Penhaligons Artemisia Solid Perfume - Alex got me this, I have a different one from a couple of years ago and absolutely love it. It's great to pop in the handbag and is just very fancy and decadent. It's housed in a silver plated clasp-box with a mirror in, and you only need a few dabs to get the lovely scent. The picture below is the box closed.
Lush Snow Fairy set - This is so candy sweet and lovely, but it's only around in the winter so grab it up while you can. This came in a giant cone with lots of star-shaped confetti inside, and comes with the Snow Fairy soap, the body wash and a kind of rub-on-glitter thing which smells heavenly.
Maybelline Mega-Plush Volume Express mascara - I haven't tried this before but the wand looks good! I was running out of my ususal Benefit Bad Gal so I'm excited to test this out
Maybelline Baby Lips 'Cherry Me' lip balm - IN LOVE WITH THIS PRODUCT. It is so smooth, gives a good tint of colour and tastes delicious. I know everyone in the bloggerverse went mad over these Baby Lips sticks but I just didn't get the hype until I tried it, they are just great.
Comedy Pink shower cap - I will be mostly be pretending I'm Rizzo from Grease when I use this. PINK LADIES!
SPAtopia Argan Oil body wash and body butter - I've been umming and aahing over which Argan Oil product to try for a while but couldn't make my mind up, so this set is brilliant. I've lathered the body butter all over my hands today and it smells delicious. It's not overly oily actually so it rubs in well. The set came with a shower poof and a gold bag too!
Phew! That was rather a lot wasn't it? I also got an amazing Red Panda/Raccoon Kigu from my brother (who actually bought everyone in our family a onesie for Christmas - a fantastic and enormously fun idea) but I'll have to get a photo to show you later :)
Hope you all had a fabbo Christmas and New Year, let me know what lovely stuff Santa stuck under the tree for you?
