Two posts in one day! Shock horror, these ones are kinda time depend though so can’t wait till next week. My last top three, the bittersweet ones, including my absolute favourite Christmas songs, I’m a soppy soul. I know your supposed to save the best for last but I can’t resist. My all time favourite Christmas song, in fact I’d listen to it all year … Continue reading Fairytale of New York
Yesterday I ventured into town to try and complete my Christmas shopping, I didn’t quite manage but I’m almost there. I was pretty lazy and didn’t make it in till late afternoon. It was lovely seeing the twinkly lights in all there glory in the dark afternoon. The darkness is not good for photos, neither is the wall to wall shoppers mind you. We did … Continue reading The Feelings Here, That Only Comes, This Time of Year
Today I’ve got my top three songs with a purpose, this was actually meant for last Monday but work got in the way. When John Lennon released a Christmas song there had to be a reason behind it. After years of various protests Lennon released this track in 1971, in the main as a protest to the Vietnam war. The song has become a classic. … Continue reading Happy Xmas (War is Over)
Nipping at my nose indeed, and cheeks and ears. It was so cold I needed my overknee socks on under my OTK boots. Lucky I have these cute pink ones which match my skirt. Who says florals are just for summer. It’s seems like all I wear these days are OTK boots, major style crush. I always like it when I can update my wardrobe … Continue reading Jack Frost Nipping at Your Nose
Reindeer Jumper – Fairisle Jumper – Holly Jumper – Dear Santa Jumper Today it’s Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper day. I’ve not got round to getting a new one this year so I’m recycling last year’s. These are my favs for this year. The H&M one is top of my list but I think I might have to fight my sister for it. The … Continue reading And So This is Christmas
Very late wed-nails-day today, these are hot of the press. So hot in fact there’s still some stray glitters on my fingertips. I had to bring some Christmas cheer to my nails this week. I have a formal dinner on Friday though so couldn’t be too cheesy. Thankfully my dress is green so these subtle little Christmas trees will work fine. I did these in … Continue reading Oh Christmas Tree
Ok so it’s the 8th December and we’re well on our way to Christmas. For the next three weeks new music monday will be all about the Christmas song. It’s doubtful these songs will be new to you, but to mix it up a little I have three top threes for you. Hopefully featuring a least one you might not have heard. Today is my … Continue reading Step Into a Christmas
I had a sneaky little early finish from work one day last week so took the opportunity to start my christmas shopping. I’ll never be one of these people that has everything organised weeks in advance for two reasons. Firstly I always have other things to organise with a bunch of birthdays throughout September, October an November. Secondly, I just don’t think christmas should start … Continue reading It’s Beginning to Look a lot like
Cold indeed, but you know what I’m kinda liking it. It’s that’s lovely fresh crisp kinda weather and dare I say it, dry. The drop in temperatures also means I’ve had to get my winter coat out. Normally not something I enjoy, if there’s one item of clothing I struggle to find pieces I like its coats. This year though, I have a pretty … Continue reading Baby it’s Cold Outside
The Decemberists seemed an appropriate choice for today. It was either them or a Christmas song and I’m feeling it’s still a touch earlier for that. These guys are a five piece indie folk band from America. I found this track browsing the new indie track playlist on Spotify. I admit the name drew me in. It reminds me of 90’s indie, all melancholy but … Continue reading Make You Better
