What the fuck is myrrh?

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, yes I know it's not quite December yet but this year I am super excited for my favourite time of year! Plus tomorrow I am going to the Christmas market in York so will feel ultra festive drinking mulled wine all wrapped up in my new faux fur cream Topshop scarf 

It's lush isn't it, I have eyed it up for a couple of weeks now, and finally gave in after the realisation and memory of last year looking for one of these, I could only get hold of a black one and I had to buy the coat to get it as they were not available seperate like this year.  I also thought it would look nice with my new sequin top and I quickly wore them together! 

I love these together I felt like a Snow Queen. 

Sequin top £48

Faux fur scarf £25

Necklace £2.50. 

All Topshop

I wear sequins all year round so don't feel too festive when I wear them but this is the best time of year to buy a sequinned beauty on the highstreet.  Ebay is always good for a sequin top though my favourite leopard one is from there, I totally struck gold with this one

I am super excited this year about advent, I have started a tradition of a home made advent calendar this year, just 24 small gifts for Ben one for each day of advent, all wrapped and hung ready to go.

This is hands down the cutest most adorable thing I think I have done for anyone and I am proud of it, but he said not to get him a Christmas present -it's his birthday on the 21st and have struggled but managed to after anticipating that I wouldn't get one to get a PS4, thank you John Lewis, so here are all his stocking fillers one for every day of advent.

We all tried to guess what the advert was and yes it is my favourite of the year, totally obsessed with Lily Allen singing and the little hare. Kudos to John Lewis for answering the phone at 8am this morning and having a ps4 left for home delivery! Boyfriend was convinced I wouldn't get one.  My shopping ability never fails!

Saw these real trees today in Sheffield town centre, there is a tree shed on Fargate called "the tree amigos" it creased me and I wish I could have got one.  Hopefully Monday after the first Christmas party of the year we can maybe put our tree up in our new home ready for Christmas.  I'm still hoping for a real one although it isn't looking likely. I love a real tree, the smell is one of the best things EVER.

I will be watching Christmas films Monday too, starting with my absolute favourite.

Buddy the Elf oh how I love you and could watch you everyday.  If you have not seen Elf I recommend you watch it ASAP you will be in stitches all the way through. I also plan to watch Mean Girls when I am basking in a hangover Monday, and earlier today I made this

I clearly had too much time on my hands when wrapping gifts!

Peace love and Christmas spirit

The mullet skirt

How to wear a mullet skirt -dubious, very dubious not sure I like the trend of the long back and short front but then I came across this winter floral number. Now I am loving grey at the moment and reduced to £10 in Urban Outfitters it was hard to ignore, especially when I browsed it at £45. I am wearing it today teamed with my favourite shoes at the minute although I feel it would look amaze with a spiked lita, a crop topshop faithful, obviously borrowed from my flatmate, queen of crops and the faux fur collar off my new Topshop coat and I must say I quite like it.
Quick at £10 this bad boy isn't going to stay around for long!

Peace, love and mullets

Finally purchasing a new winter coat...

So after copious amounts of time wearing the leopard print fur I am beginning to resent it, it's toasty but too done right now, I mean Toppers have not even bought it out AGAIN this year but Asos have, I love it and won't be eBaying as there are times I will want to wear it but I need a new daily coat. Last year the fur collar boyfriend beauty touched down to Topshop, I fell in love but regretfully didn't buy it, they did a gorgeous burnt orange with brownish fun collar that was amaze..a few lucky people I know smacked it up and it still looks effortless and amazing....I have searched for it on eBay and it is currently selling -with bids, not buy it now for £249 -RIDIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was only £110 brand new!!! They also did the same coat last year in a grey with black fur and just my luck a super similar one is out again this year! This time I am owning it, I need it, I need the fur collar to keep me toasty whilst I wait at 11pm when I finish a late night for my first of 2 trams...it's perfet and it is what I shall be spending my money on this Friday when I get paid! I am too excited to finally own this beauty I know it will be a coat I love for years!

Peace love and winter coats Sophs xoxo
