Loving this week

This week is the usual last minute panic buying week before Christmas to get those last minute gifts.

 Stocking Fillers
After reading a couple of other fellow bloggers posts +caroline burke I came across this great site http://ohhdeer.com/

Their site is full of quirky illustrated gifts and prints. My favourite is this cute Racoon coaster at a bargain £2.95.


Gin Lovers run in my family so this would be the perfect present for my Nan, Mum, Auntie, Cousin etc etc, so when I came across the cute little bottle of Gin brooch on Tatty Devine I just had to share.

Tatty Devine has some great gifts under £25 go check them out now.

Both of these would be perfect for any last minute little stocking fillers for your friends and family.

Christmas Panto
In amongst all of the pre Christmas madness its been nice this week to spend a lot of time with my friends and months ago we booked tickets to the Panto in Nottingham. David Hasselhoff is starring as Captain Hook this year at the Theatre Royal. Tickets are still available here.

Christmas Songs
Finally here is an alternative to the usual Christmas songs that you keep hearing over and over again. BB King the King of Blues music has this festive musical treat. I visited BB Kings Blues club in Memphis this summer so it felt appropriate to post :)



Hope everyone is feeling festive now. Only 6 sleeps to go....

Loving this week

This week has been packed full of festive activities.

Winter Wonderland
Last night I met some friends in Hyde Park for Winter Wonderland. This was my first time and I have to say I LOVED it. Quaint christmas markets, fairground rides and German Beer. Whats not to love?




Christmas Jumper Day
13th December is officially Christmas Jumper Day in aid of Save the Children and I have been counting down the days until I could wear my lovely new purchase from H by Henry Holland. Penguins, fair isle and cosiness.


 It looks like most of his Christmas jumper collection have now sold out but you can still buy the cute reindeer one here. http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_037010141243_-1

Loving this week

So as part of my shiny new blog I wanted to create a page that gives a quick snapshot of all of the things I am loving in the week.

Christmas
Yes the month of December is upon us and I just had to put my tree up on the 1st December. So I put on my favourite Christmas film 'Elf' poured myself a Baileys and set to work. 250 fairy lights later and here it is.


Novelty Christmas Decorations
I couldn't resist taking a photo of this little fella whilst shopping in B&Q. He is just adorable. Its just a shame my living room is too small for him to live.



Cosmic Nails
In last months Glamour Mag they gave away this great Kate Spade @nailsinc polish and I have been dying to try it out. The cold weather makes me hands and nails so dry so I decided to give them some TLC and a lick of paint to spruce them up. This cosmic silver colour is great and only needed two coats. 
Perfect Winter Nails,
