Tuesday is outfits day.
For a while now I've been drooling over these amazing Topshop jumpers.
found here and here
I just think they are so beautiful and perfect for the time of year.
If you want to add a bit of sparkle and glamour to your day to day outfits then these would be absolutely perfect.
I love them and think I will be visiting Topshop very soon!
Welcome to my "A fave a day" series!
You can read what this series is about here, and please do join in, leave me a comment with your favourites and share your amazing finds.
I am so excited to be sharing some of my current favourites with you,
so let's get this party started!
Monday is accessories day.
I've been on the lookout for a new necklace, something that will
bring a bit of sparkle to a plain outfit, something I could wear over Christmas, something
still quite plain enough so I could pair it with lots of different outfits and colours.
As soon as I came across THIS lovely necklace from Accessorize I knew it was the one.
Perfect, a favourite for sure!
I can't believe it's December!!
We had quite a fun filled weekend to start of the festive season.
Saturday was the schools Christmas fair and the kids visited Santa's grotto...the first of many no doubt.
Sunday we went to a garden centre to pick up some bits and bobs and we were planning to put our tree up in the afternoon, but instead we found ourselves rearranging all the furniture in the living room, which took about two hours longer than I had hoped, so the tree will be put up today after school, the kiddies are quite excited.
In the meantime let me tell you about some of our Christmas traditions .
1. Every year we buy the kids a new ornament to hang in the tree, they love this. It also means that when they are older they will have a whole load of ornaments to take to their own house and hopefully have some good memories.
2. We always put our tree up together. Even though I'm quite the perfectionist about this I do find it fun to watch how excited the kids get.
3. The day we put up the tree is the first day we watch a Christmas movie together...preferably with homemade cookies and hot chocolate.
4. Advent calendars! So much fun.
5. The kids get a special present on Christmas eve...new Christmas pyjamas and a Christmas book.
This makes for an exciting bedtime, filled with snuggles and lovely stories.
6. On Christmas eve the kids leave some sparkly reindeer food out, this makes it so much easier for them to find our house...we don't want them to fly past after all!
7. Homemade mince pies and homemade truffles are a must!!
8. Each year the kids write a lovely letter to Santa, they always enjoy this and a few days later they
always get a video message from Santa himself thanks to the Portable North pole. This is possibly their highlight of the run up to Christmas. If you have little ones I would definitely recommend this!
9. We always Elf ourselves on JibJab, soooo much fun! I will post it here once we make one!
10. We spend Christmas with family and loved ones and have an amazing time, make wonderful memories and be merry.
What are your Christmas traditions?
It's that time of year again where I can be found looking for exciting goodies on the Internet, more than any other time of year. I seem to constantly be browsing, pinning and exploring different websites and often find amazing things to add to my wish list, feel inspired or maybe perfect gifts for friends or family....or something that is just so cool it has to be blogged about.
This all gave me the idea that I could share some of these great finds with you right here on my blog.
We all like to be inspired right!
I will show you one of my amazing finds a day and have been thinking about what could be the best way to go about this and I have come to the conclusion that categorising might be the easiest.
So,
Monday will be "accessories"
Tuesday will be "outfits"
Wednesday will be "beauty"
Thursday will be " home decoration"
Friday will be " enrichment"
Saturday will be "food"
Sunday will be "entertainment"
I will keep this going for the whole of December....or at least try ( we all know how epically I failed to keep my get ready for Christmas series going, whoopsie)

Please do join in...my curious mind would love to know all your current favourites.
See you all tomorrow for the first instalment, I'm so excited!
I have been really amazed by some of the beautiful evening skies we've been having lately!
Just can't get enough of them!
None of these photo's have been altered in any way, although i have to say that in that last one the clouds weren't quite so orange, they were pink...just the way my phone instagramed these.
Nature is just so beautiful!
There are quite a few things around that I am absolutely loving at the moment, and equally quite a few that I am not.
Let me just share these with you.
THE GOOD
This amazing advent calendar!! I would love to receive one of these.
I have shown this to my husband who thought it was a bit pricey at £42...but where else can you buy 24 nice nail polishes for that price, BARGAIN!
You can buy these from Selfridges and it includes seventeen of Ciate's bestselling mini Paint Pots, four mini Caviar blends, and three extremely special exclusive Paint Pot glitter shades you'll not find anywhere else, ever.
I also adore this beautiful John Lewis commercial
Awwwwww. I must admit, I nearly cried when I watched this the first time, that bears face is just priceless.
Christmas commercials are the best!
THE BAD
There is just ONE thing I absolutely hate at the moment...the fox song!
ARGHHHH!
I mean...what were they thinking, seriously...and don't even get me started on the
ridiculous little dance.
I am not putting this video on my blog, I am sure most of you will be familiar with
the song, but if you are not You Tube will be the place to find it.
(What does the fox say)
Please note: Brain cells will be lost and you'll never get them back EVER!
THE UGLY
The fox song! ( bad and ugly, what can I say)
I was browsing Etsy and came across this creepy finger soap.
found here
Hmmm, imagine having these lying around your bathroom, creepy!
Yesterday afternoon I took a little trip to town and just happen to wander into
Primark.
I love Primark this time of year because they have so many amazing goodies, I mean Helloooo warm comfy fleecy winter pyjamas! If you haven't already got one of these I would strongly suggest you head down there and get yourself some...the chilly winter evenings will feel a lot warmer and cosier for it.
So what could be in my little bag??
No, not pyjama's, I already picked those up a few weeks back.
This time my eyes happen to fall upon their sock section and I just couldn't resist
picking a few up.
I love socks, socks with cute designs that is...don't come to me with plain socks! Hmmm, don't even think I own a pair of those.
It took me a while to make my decision (that was my husbands opinion anyway), there were just way too many, but in the end this is what I went for.
They are soft, thick and thermal (and cheap!) and my feet will thank me for it when the snow comes.
Do you love Primark, if so I would love to hear what you last bought.
