Christmas

My favourite time of year is finally upon us! I love Christmas so much, i love the pretty lights and the festivities, i love buying presents for friends and family, i love the run up to Christmas and listening to Christmas music and watching Christmas films, and most of all, i love spending Christmas with my family. I know that sounds cliche, but i really do. We all go to my nans house and spend Christmas day and boxing day there. My nan lives in the countryside, which i absolutely LOVE, I'm such a country girl. And especially when it snows, we go on long walks in the afternoons and return with chilly cheeks (the cheeks on your face that is, tut tut) and ready to put our feet up and watch Christmas TV.
I always look forward to Christmas, it's just my favourite. Here's some pictures of the special day, i hope you all had a great Christmas!

OOTD | Family Dinner

So last night, we all gathered round my nans to celebrate my grandpa's 70th birthday. I stupidly thought that we were going out to eat instead of just staying at my nans so i was all kinda dressed up whilst everyone else was in jeans and tshirt. At least my little cousin was wearing a party dress so i didn't feel so stupid.(LOL, such a div). Anyways, it took me a couple of hours to get ready (i kept getting distracted by the TV and phone etc). I've never done an outfit of the day before, I'm not exactly super model material and am quite self conscious, so I'm not really sure how this will turn out or if I'm brave enough to do another one...

Sorry for the crappy quality of these photo's, i took them in a rush!

Blazer: Matalan, around £15

You can kinda see what i used on my face, I'll go into detail in a mo

I just left my hair to dry naturally after the shower, and curled the ends.



On my nails i put the Barry M topcoat on, then two coats of Peach Melba, with Pink Iridescent.



Apologies for the dusty mirror and the self conscious pose:/

Let me know what you think about me doing OOTD's, i may decide to do some more in the future or i may not, i'm not exactly a fashionista and i certainly don't have a catwalk wardrobe, however i have my own style and if i feel like i like an outfit one day then i'll think about blogging it:)
Thanks for taking a peep
