Black Friday

Well it's Christmas Eve Eve and it's the infamous black Friday or Mad Friday whichever you want to go with. I was in work till 9pm but still managed to squeeze in a bit of spending this morning with the cleverly marketed 'VIP' Next sale slot (which everyone on my Facebook appeared to have!) that I was booked in for at 7am. The crazy thing is I managed to rack up about £300 on 'bargains' but I can't even remember what I've bought. *mental note to self: New years resolution number 1- stop buying everything with a sale tag on! So, that being said I'm not hitting the town as I'll be far too tired and far too broke. To everyone who is having a few Christmas tipples... Have fun and be safe, cheers!

Did anyone else grab some bargains today in the sales?

Lulu Guiness Anna Bow Bag

Look at my lovely new bag! I already have it in black but I heart it so much I've purchased it in stone (just red and purple to collect!)
It's in patent leather with a chain strap and bow detailing. The strap can be worn doubled up as a shoulder bag or as a long strap and although it's small in size it fits a lot in it.



It has the signature 'lips' lining and dust bag... Isn't she a beauty?

Wine-o-clock Nails

My nail varnish reminds me of two of my favourite things this week 1. Christmas and 2. WINE, it's been on for a week so please excuse the chips :-/

It's velvet bow by China Glaze with
Seche Vite overlay. It's a very dark crimson colour which is not really my cup of tea but it's growing on me and feels quite sophisticated.

iPad!!!!!

Yay! The hub and I have a new addition to the family... Our shiny IPad 2! We've decided to go a little light on the gift giving this year as we have spent a fair few pounds on the kitchen (ahem and on beauty buys!) so it was our joint gift to each other.
I recently got the new iPhone 4S and have been driving everyone mad with my conversations with SIRI... Will it snow tomorrow? Etc, so I gave my hub my old iPhone and bless he is made up with it and has discovered the addiction of twitter!





In order to protect my new baby, I attacked Selfridges with gusto and bought this fab Marc Jacobs case to keep it warm :-) it cost £45. It's extra padded and squishy for protection in a simple black colour to avoid mucky finger marks.

Feeling Festive... Yankee Candles

Christmas is only a few days away and I am definitely feeling very festive, my kitchen is complete, all my presents are wrapped and I have treated myself to a few cheeky early Christmas gifts!
I adore Yankee Candles, I could literally harp on about them forever with their gorgeous scent, super long burning times and fabulous packaging... You could say I was a fan!
Well move over clean cotton, baby powder and sparkling lemonade (some of Yankee's fragrances) I'm bringing out the Christmas spirit with this festive swirl collection, I bought a set of three large jar candles that burn for upto a whopping 50 hours each...



Peppermint swirl- a combo of cranberry peppermint & jack frost
Mrs Claus' Cookie- a delicious helping of Christmas Eve & Christmas Cookie
Holiday Welcome- a pairing of home for the holidays with balsam & Cedar

They smell divine in the different rooms of my home and create a lovely warming atmosphere, Merry Christmas to me :0)
