Christmas Inspiration: Decoration



Christmas is near.......

So here is deal guys, its nearly Christmas, literally its round the corner and I find each year it smacks me in the face and says "Oh Hey Im back!" First things first is Christmas decoration, I love it all and get so excited to dress the house so here are some inspiring pictures taken from google.com.



I love white teamed with green foliage and candle light, so pretty and effective for Christmas, reminds me of the sun glistening on the snow.



I always buy different decorations each christmas, nothing on my tree matches and I love that, so I have everything from vintage christmas tree decorations to christmas cushions which dont match but somehow work together really well. Each decoration reminds me of each year which has a story. 





There is something about a real Christmas tree that I cant get away from, to me its Christmas, the smell and excitement of purchasing one, as a child I loved this part of Christmas, I used to get sad as I thought all the trees had feelings and would be left outside, unloved whilst we took a special one home decorating it and singing Christmas songs. 

Christmas is a time of year for love and hope, wishes and dreams. Christmas can be a lovely time for families but we also need to remember those who don't have that unit, who don't have that feeling of love and hope. Lets never forget them and make sure we always give to charities and looking at helping out at a homeless shelter or your local soup run.

How do you have your Christmas tree? What is your favourite type of Christmas decoration?

OOTD: Its all about the fluffy jumper....

Hi Loveys,

What a cold few days its been, time for warm furry jumpers teamed with pencil skirts and purple lipstick! I love teaming big jumpers like this one from New Look with a pencil skirt, loving a bold print. Leopard print and purple go so well together.

As you all know I love finding bargains on Ebay, this bag was from that wonderful website! A studded turquoise clutch bag with a chunky chain from Primark was what I needed to make this look complete.

Review: Eye Of Horus Eye Pencil



Hi beautiful readers, 

Today is a review on *Eye Of Horus eye pencil in Scarab Sapphire Goddess Pencil. This pencil has a deep blue soft textured pencil with a smudger at the other end to help give that smokey eye look. I have fallen in love with felt tip liners and therefore have not used a pencil for quite some time. I applied this on my lower lash line and used the smudger to smudge the pencil to soften the look. The colour is an intense blue which looks black on intial application, its a stunning colour that gives an exotic look. The colour lasts all day without streaming, it is such a soft pencil and glides on easily. I found the smudger a god send, helping me create smokey looks in seconds.
