Christmas Tag

Hi Guys,

It's nearly Christmas so here are my answers to the Christmas Tag:

(from beauty crush's youtube video)

1.Whats Your Favorite Holiday Movie?
I can't pick a favourite, I love all the tacky heart warming movies that come on during Christmas time.

2. Whats Your Favorite Christmas Colour?
My favourite colour to wear is 'christmas green'. I find it so refreshing and warming at the same time.

3. Do You Like To Stay in Your PJs Or Dress Up For Christmas?
Dress up!!! Though it can be a bit uncomfortable after a big dinner lol

4. If You Could Only Buy One Person a Present This Year Who Would It Be?
If I could only buy one present every christmas it would have to be for my 'baby' borther J. I love buying him gifts because he is so unlike me and likes proper presents as opposed to the practical stuff I enjoy. Buying presents for J is the only time post penny palace that I get to go to 'fancy' shops. Even on a budget this year his present was from Sloane Square.

5. Do You Open Your Present Christmas Eve Or Christmas Morning?
Well since I moved out we open our presents after Christmas dinner but when I was younger my dad made us wait until Boxing Day!!!!!

6. Have You Ever Built a Ginger Bread House?
No, but I would love to!

7. What Do You Like To Do On Your Christmas Break?
Nothing. Eat, sleep, watch bad tv, and then eat some more.

8. Any Christmas Wishes?
Peace on Earth. And a Chanel handbag. Maybe the other way round :)

9. Favorite Christmas Smell?
I can't smell so I dont have one. At least I can't smell brussell sprout induced farts hahaha!

10. Favorite Christmas Meal Or Treat?
Christmas food is really special to me. I don't come from a culture that has a Sunday roast so for me Christmas time is the only time I have that type of meal so I love it all; the potatoes, yorkshire pudding, meat, trimmings, even the sprouts! My favourite thing is stuffing. What a wonderful thing! I love cranberry sauce but have to always buy it myself cos noone else in my family has it. And my mum always makes me eat the whole jar so it's not wasted so once a year is good enough for me. FYI I HATE mince pies. Yuck.

And another one...

1) Which holiday do you celebrate?
Erm, all of them?

2) What are you doing for the holidays this year?
See answer 7) above!

3) What's your favorite holiday drink?
I don't have one. Just the usual.

4) Candy cane or Gingerbread men?
Candy cane. I love it! Gingerbread is yummy but more than one man makes me ill.....that's probably true with real men too lol

5) What's your favorite holiday/Christmas song?
Fav Christmas song is Jingle Bells! I hum it constantly. It must be my work friend's least fav song thanks to me!

6) What's the weirdest gift you've ever received?
A gift is a gift, welcomed with opened arms. I probably get a lot of gifts that aren't considered gift type things but that's because I always ask for boring stuff. I heart boring stuff!

7) Have you ever made a snowman?
Attempted to. But East London snow is just not snow man worthy :(

8) What is your favorite winter fragrance?
As in perfume, well I can't smell it properly but JPG was my winter fragrance, and now on a budget it's Victoria Beckhams :)

9) What is at the top of your list this Christmas? (or whichever holiday you celebrate!)
Well, for next year (so everyone can start saving) I want a big fat gold watch. But I might be ok with downgrading from my Rolex lol

10) What is most important to you about the holidays?
Family. And stuffing :)

And of course, all of you are TAGGED!

More DIY: studs and creases ;)

Fur and peaches

Hi Guys!

Sorry for the terrible terrible picture quality, posing in artificial light

Just 2 things really:

Peach Melba and black fur collar. Both are mine. Yaaaaaaay!!!!

After wanting wanting wanting Barry M's nail paint in Peach Melba for ages I finally got one (thanks mummy!) - erm, I'll be honest, it was not worth the wait. It's too pastel on me. Then again, it is December so I think I will put this away and give it another go come summer time.

After my love affair with the black racoon fur I purchased another fur collar in black. It turned up on my birthday eve. Love. Nuff said!

And...that's a Wrappz

Hi Guys!

For my birthday I was given a hot pink ipod shuffle 4th gen and I love it :) But since I murdered my last ipod (actually the last few) with scratches and cracks I thought I'd try and protect my 'puffle pod' (yaaaaaay) as best I could.

As it doesn't have any glass I'm not concerned about breakage, despite the tiny size it's very sturdy, but I was concerned about scratching up my beautiful hot pink puffle so I looked into some sort of 'skin' for my puffle pod.

I knew I wanted leopard print so spent a while googling stuff like 'shuffle leopard print case/cover' etc but wasn't having that much luck. Then I randomly came across an american site about 'skins' which are basically stickers and so started researching UK sites that did skins.

Turned out that there was quite an abundance of sites doing this sorta thang, but not for the ipod shuffle 4th generation. By now I was determined to get what I wanted and so I emailed a few sites about the possibility of custom making me a leopard print skin for my ipod shuffle 4th gen and a out of the bunch I emailed I got a few 'sorry's', a few 'yes we could do that' and then my reply from wrappz.

Wrappz is the company I ended up purchasing from because their customer service was really really good. And their product that arrived was really good too! Exactly what I wanted and loving my puffle even more now :)

Please keep an eye on my blog as I shall soon be doing a giveaway for 3 £5 gift certificate's from wrappz.com!

NOTD: Savile Row

Hi Guys,

'Borrowed' this nail polish from my mum; Nail Inc's Savile Row.

[ABOVE: Flash]

[BELOW: No flash]

Sorry about the terrible paint job!!! The pics were taken straight after the paint job, after about 30 mins of wear and tear all the crap on my cuticle/skin has gone.

Colour wise I am a fan of bright reds, pinks and neutrals. But I really really like this colour. In real life it does not look purple (like pic with flash at all), it looks pretty much like the second pic, a dark burgundy colour? Blood maroon? Something along those lines, but perfect for winter and very vampish with my black fur collar :)

Feeding time at the zoo!

My birthday also means December which equals a lot of eating.

Kicked off December with a lot of Chinese, seafood and chocolate courtesy of gifts and my Hello Kitty advent calendar :)

Tis the season to eat and be merry <3

27years old and 3 days :)

Hi Guys!!

See that face above? That's my 27 year old face :)

It was my birthday the other day and I had the week off work and the best time ever.

Thank you to all my friends and loved ones who made my day/week so special. I felt very loved.

And an extra big thank you to SF for my cake :)
