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

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Tis the season to sparkle....my favourite time of year CHRISTMAS PARTY SEASON & I love it!!!!! Now if you know me, you know that I wear sequins all year round, daytime & night because I don't believe in saving things for special occasions and this Christmas is no exception, as we speak I am eargerly waiting a gorgeous sequin dress that I have ordered off eBay, it is everything I love in a party dress - fully sequined, baggy & short - I just hope when it arrives it is as amazing as the pictures and looks pretty fierce on, fingers crossed it will come tomorrow.

I also think this is the perfect dress to take on a sun holiday....which I am still longing for and am DEFINETLY going to make happen 2012 for sure. In other sequin news I got these bad boys, again off eBay, for a bargain of £20 as well....I am loving them more than ever because they are a press sample too, it is small things like this that make my day...but you do not understand how long I have wanted these for, I saw them approx a year ago in a magazine and hunted high and low for them online and instores but never saw them in the blue, the silver colour was everywhere and my best friend managed to get a pair in gold from Oxford Circus which are amaze and I have borrowed too many times but the blue is beyond amaze and I am looking forward to cracking them out this weekend!!

I love shopping at this time of year because all the shops bring out amazing sequinned items, and I will be looking to add to my wardrobe as usual, as no doubt you all will be too, so if in doubt go for a sequin and stand out, shimmer and embrace the party season! Peace, love & lots of sparkle Sophs xoxo
