A Frosted Rose

Blogmas

So, for today’s post I thought I’d take a little bit of inspiration from one of my old photos. 
I love this frosted rose. I took the photo on a chilly day in Betys y Coed and saw this bunch of flowers on a memorial bench. I know that this may seem like a really somber moment, but I loved how that person was remembered and cherished even though they had passed. I also thought the frost, encasing the rose and making the pink even more beautiful made this bouquet just that little bit special, if only for an hour or two more.

 Anyway, I thought I’d share with you one of my favourite photos and I am going to do a frosted rose inspired makeup look in the next coming days, but as you may have guessed, I  didn’t really plan this whole blogmas thing, so the posts are a little off the fly.
 I hope that I can do a little bit of planning and preparation to really blow your socks off in the next coming days, but for now – we just have a few daily rambles and I am ok with that.

Blogmas and an Outfit

So I have been looking at my computer for ages and ages procrastinating and doing anything I can other than write a post for the second day in a row.
I have just watched The Apprentice (the best program in the world) and I am now just settling down getting ready for bed, but there is something stopping me from truly falling asleep.

Other than the glow of my laptop, I really want to complete blogmas!

I have never really achieved something like this and in the blogging world, people do this pretty much every year. I really must commend them, because... well just because. I guess all I can say, quite eloquently I must admit, is #organisationgoals.

So, there we have it, my second blogmas post - although short, perfectly formed as they say and a quick little read before bed.

I really hope that I can finish blogmas, I think it will really give me a push in terms of blogging, which I do find really hard at times and hope that everyone else taking part keeps at it and writes something, even if it is just a quick hello!

Anyway, I know that these posts are meant to be related to the chilly weather and Christmas in some way so I thought I'd put together a cute winters outfit using Polyvore... you should follow me on there by the way (cheeky plug), plus it's really fun.

Until tomorrow!

Stockings are one of my favourite things to open on Christmas day.
Jam packed full of sweets, treats, beauty gifts and stationary, the stocking is the perfect vessel for giving friends and loved ones an assortment of lovely gifts.

I have chosen a selection of gifts, all under £10, that are perfect for adding to a stocking. (Technically, there are 11 gifts on offer here, but I couldn't choose between the two nail varnish colours!)
I must also admit, that these gifts would be very welcome in my stocking and there is a lack of male orientated gifts, but hey, I have to give my hints one way or another!

What would you like in your stocking this year? Let me know in the comments below!

See you tomorrow for the second installment of blogmas!

The Autumn Edit

With the dark nights drawing in and the weather becoming a little chilly, I thought I would put together an outfit perfect for Autumn. For me, Autumn is the best season for colour. I love mustard yellow, deep reds, creams browns and gold, so I have tried to incorporate those colours in this outfit. I hope you love it as much as me!

All items are listed below, but some pieces are a little pricey!

Back to Blogging

lifestyle
 
So after approximately two months off from my blog, I am now starting to miss it. The ideas are exploding out of my head and so it is time to start writing again, biting the bullet and creating some awesome content for you to have a gander at.

As you may or may not know from my previous post, I went all the way to the other side of the world to see my sister. It was an amazing trip and if anyone reading this fancies heading out to Australia, stop reading this post and book your ticket now!

I have a few photos, which I think I’ll show on here a bit later and you'll see just how beautiful it really is.
Anyway, after Oz came a week in Thailand and then we came back home.
Leaving work for so long meant it was a little difficult getting back into the swing of things, but we're back now and it's as if we never left!

The main change to be honest is the weather. How is it so dark all of a sudden?! Other than that, the autumn colours, crunchy leaves on the floor and the golden sun peaking above the houses in the morning aren't so bad. At least the chilly weather means I'm more inclined to tuck myself up in bed and write a few blog posts!

Speak soon!
