Warm up for Christmas // Christmas Series

Hello my lovelies! I am very excited to be writing this post as it is the first ever post apart of my Christmas Series! I hope you all enjoy it and keep looking on my blog daily to check to see when the next post is up!

 Are you  the type of person that likes feeling Christmassy? But you can't get into the Christmas mood, even though you have watched Elf endless time's? Me too! This post is so that EVERYONE get's into the Christmas mood!!

How to get into the Christmas mood then??

  1. Watch a Christmas movie
There is so many Christmas movie's that are perfect to watch to get you in the mood for Christmas! How about Elf? But, if you're like me you would of watched Elf 6000 time's already and you're probably watching it whilst reading this post? I'm watching it while writing this post! 

So if Elf isn't the one? Why not try:
  • Frozen (duhhh!)
  • Snow Buddies (Kinda weird choice but it get's me in the Christmas mood!)
  • The Polar Express
  • The Santa Clause
  • Santa  Clause 2
  • Bad Santa
And this list could go on, but I don't want to bore you! Next thing to get into the Christmas mood..

2. Light Christmas Candles

I think Candles make everything feel Christmassy even if it's in the Summer! But they still feel extra special on Christmas! You can light any candle! It can be Cherry, Vanilla, Chocolate or even a Christmas scent!

3. Read Christmas themed books

This is also a great way to get in the Christmas mood! Some of you, like me might not like reading but you should give it a try! Try reading some of these Christmas themed books....
  • The night before Christmas
  • How the grinch stole Christmas
  • The Polar Express
  • A Christmas carol

4. Listen to Christmas music!

If you're still not in a Christmas mood then try listening to some classic's?!

  • Slade - Merry Xmas everyone
  • Mariah Carey - All I want for Christmas 
  • Ariana Grande - Santa tell me 
And lot's more!

5. Decorate!

Decorating your house/room makes everywhere feel festive and it makes you feel festive? Here's how you can decorate!

  • Put up your Christmas tree - If it's early, so what! You're ready for Christmas!
  • Print of Christmas pictures and hang them on your wall
  • Hang up decorations which you have around the house
  • Go to a shop - Choose a shop with lot's of Christmas decoration's out! - Homesense is my favourite!
6. Get an advent calender!

We all know that when the advent calender's are out it means it's Christmas! So go out and buy yourself one!! 

That's all I can think of! - Only joking..I can think of 100 more tips but I don't want to bore you! So, I hope you enjoyed this Christmas Series post! I can't wait to write my next post!

Bye!

Winter outfit idea's - A day out!

Hello everyone! I decided to do a post today because I just reached 100 page views on one of my first ever post's - October Favourites read it here! So today's post is Winter Outfit Ideas because the morning's are cold now, nights are cold, we are nearly in December which mean's Christmas and so it's officially Winter which means it's perfect timing to do this post! Hope you enjoy!

I made this outfit on Polyvore, Polyvore for those of you who don't know is such a good site; you can create clothing set's using clothes from any shop!

I am going to be doing lots of these post's in the upcoming week's/day's!

Here is the first outfit for a day out!


This outfit is perfect for the winter because it's simple, easy and super cute! It start's off with a jumper from chicwish.com for £29. This is such a warm jumper and because it's a gorgeous cream colour it matches any colour skinnies!

Next is some simple ripped skinny genes. They are from shopmrsh.com and they cost £115. Ripped jeans are perfect for the winter because they are really stylish and again match any outfit you wish to wear them with! I love skinny's in the winter, autumn, spring - any season and ripped ones are so stylish so they are perfect!

These boot's are perfect for winter and I adore these boot's and these style of boot's! They are a lovely baige/brown colour and are ankle boots, these are good because you can wear frilly socks with them and they would look super cute as you could see the fill's above. These costed £160 from juilesb.co.uk.

Now onto the gorgeous bag! This bag matches the boot's, skinny's and matches the scarf which I will talk about in a minute...so this bag is perfect for winter and going out because you can wear it on your shoulder or have it on your side. And, this bag was from overstock.com for £545 so it's an extremely expensive bag so it's amazing!

Finally is the scarf I decided to add into this set. The scarf is super fashionable and matches all the clothes well and the colour's don't clash which is a good thing. This scarf is from burberry.com and cost's £275, again pretty expensive so must be amazing!

As you can see around the picture I included some Christmas decor and a Yankee candle, these are the prices and where they can be found! -

  • Light's - etsy.com - £19.00
  • Present's decorated with light's - wayfair.com - £42.00
  • Yankee Candle Christmas eve - houseoffraser.com - £20.00
  • Hanging decor - amara.com - £18.00
I hope you enjoyed this post and keep look out for more post's like this to come!

Thank's for reading,
