Christmas 2014

I love Christmas more and more each year. I remember when I was younger I didn't enjoy it very much. In Estonia the tradition on Christmas Eve is to welcome 'Santa' to our home - we have to read a poem, sing a song or dance as he is bringing our gifts. I always hated it, we had to do it at school and sometimes at home. Now I feel I can enjoy the holiday peacefully! 

I opened my presents on Christmas Eve. I first thought I would follow the English tradition and open my gifts on Christmas day but I couldn't wait another night! Tristan and I spent Christmas day preparing food and had friends over for the evening. For dinner we had a leg of lamb with oven baked potatoes, gravy and some veggies - I can't believe I forgot to take pictures! For dessert we had a big selection of sweets: cupcakes, lemon meringue, Aero cookies and a lot of candy. 

I took a few pictures with my Polaroid camera (and my SLR). I would love to print out and put together all of my memories in a scrapbook and create something lovely to look at together with my family and friends.
 




 





I feel a bit sad when Christmas is over. There is such a long wait through the year and when it finally arrives it has gone in just a day or two. I visited my family in Estonia just before Christmas and got to spend both public holidays with my friends and loved ones. We're still keeping our tree up for a little longer though as I like the fairy lights and decorations. Our tree looks so empty now that our presents are opened - I hung a stocking on the tree to make it look a bit more cheerful!

The Body Shop Manchester Arndale Bloggers Event

I've been blogging for almost two years now but I'd still consider myself a newbie in the blogging world. On Thursday I had the chance to go to my first bloggers event at The Body Shop in Manchester to celebrate the release of an amazing new range on the 5th of May, including new bronzing items and a couple of vitamin C products! I was wearing my butterfly bow-tie brooch to the event and styled it with a white short sleeved shirt. It was a closed door event, so it was a good opportunity to browse all of the products and explore the new ones thoroughly! The event started at 8pm and I was one of the first ones to arrive. We were welcomed with milkshakes, fruit cocktails and lemonade. I went for water - shy and modest! There was also a white chocolate fountain and strawberries we had the chance to enjoy. The event was carried out by Fiona - she is a skin expert at the Manchester store. Everyone was able to get personal skin consult...

OOTD - The sun has come out!

It has been such a long time since my last fashion post, I've been missing them so much! The second the sun came out, Tristan and I went to the canal and took a few pictures. I think it is still too early for sunglasses but a light jacket is okay when you wear a jumper underneath (Primark) and a cosy leopard print scarf (Linea Cashmink) around your neck.  My black Veromoda jacket and shoes are both from Best Secret. You'll all know by now how much I've been raving about it. I think it is an amazing place for online shopping. I love the copper detailing and the simple look on my jacket, plus it's super lightweight. My trainers are by Puma & Alexander McQueen (click here to read my previous post). I also just noticed that I don't have any good shots of my Michael Kors bag, which I absolutely adore by the way! I'm sure everybody knows how beautiful these bags are so I think this will do for now. The bag and scarf were both Christmas presents fr...

Lilla Rose Flexi Clips

  Today I want to talk a bit about my hair and my recent purchase from a company called Lilla Rose . Lilla Rose is a unique hair and jewellery accessory company from the US. They have many different hair items but I was more interested in their beautiful and well-known Flexi Clip. I got myself two of these - Autumn's Delight in size small and Festive Leaf in extra small. Before ordering I made sure of which size would fit best for my flat and thin hair.       Both of my Flexi Clips look stunning. The beaded wire is quite bendable but strong, the sliding pin is adjustable and they feel high-quality. I chose mine in a copper/rust shade but there are also silver and gold shades and so many different styles and colours available. As I recently cut my long hair short, I don't have many options with styling. I usually just wear my hair in a ponytail or a half ponytail. Autumn's Delight fits all my hair between the clip and Festive Leaf is perfect for a smal...
