Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Hey all! 

How was your Christmas holidays? Did you eat lots of food? I did! I swear I’ve never eaten so much food in my life, and that’s pretty hard to beat as I tend to eat a lot everyday… But wow I’m still stuffed from my delicious Christmas dinner that my mum cooked up (we have roast duck and pancakes for Christmas instead of turkey).

My Christmas holiday was quite a long one but it was just so good! I wanted to write a post including everything I did around Christmas, so please excuse the abundance of photos and writing~ But there’s no point splitting this up into lots of mini posts because it’ll be 2014 before we know it.

The first Christmas event was the day I went to see Charli! I missed her terribly, as I hadn’t seen her that much at the October MCM Expo so it was lovely to spend a couple of hours trotting around London with her.
We decided to take some purikura as it had been a really long time! I think that it is a tad expensive, but as we were splitting it in half it wasn’t so bad. Although their scanner broke so I’ve only got photos of the purikura half I had </3

The whole set~

Then we headed to our favourite restaurant, Suki! The food is so good for the price we pay, so I was really happy to be finally sitting down munching on gorgeous ramen. If anyone’s heading to London one day, you should definitely try this place out! It’s a Japanese restaurant and it’s amazing!

After that it got dark surprisingly quickly so instead of heading to Stratford Westfield we just had a look around Chinatown and the surrounding area, mainly because it was absolutely freezing and we didn’t feel like going shopping. London was incredibly busy, so we were pretty exhausted even just walking around for a bit as we had to continuously dodge around people who were obviously rushing for their last-minute Christmas presents.

At one of the shops there Charli got me a gorgeous alpaca as a Christmas present! I was absolutely delighted as I adore alpacas, and I’m going to name this one Honey after Charli Honey (her blog name) <3

I got her some Korean black pearl face masks for her Christmas present, and now I’m thinking that I really ought to pamper myself a little bit! I never have time to relax with all of the uni work and work stuff I had to do, but I’d love it if I just had one day a week to do something relaxing… What do you do to relax on your days off? Or are you like me and is a workaholic (hahaha).

That was it for our Christmas meetup! Even though we didn’t see each other until later – I had uni work to do and she had work – I still had lots of fun. I missed her so much!

Outfit & look for the Christmas meetup:

The bright light drowned my blusher ;_; 

Denim shirt: Primark  |  Knitwear: Select  |  Shorts: Reveal  |  Tights: Select  |  Heeled boots: New Look

Okay, now onto event number two! I drove home for Christmas after work and was just so happy to be with the ones I loved. It had been ages since I saw everyone so I spent most of Christmas with my family and my boyfriend.

We didn’t do much on Christmas Eve as I was absolutely knackered from driving, but on Christmas day we dolled up and watched lots of movies! The one we watched in particular was Monsters University. I love that film!

Me & my gorgeous sister!

I was so ridiculously spoilt this year! I got a gorgeous new bag, jewellery, clothes, a personalised, calendar, some DVDs, chocolate… And lots more! I was going to take a photo of everything out of the bag but I really, really couldn’t be bothered. Eating lots of chocolate has made me lazy D:

My outfit & look for the day:

(wooow my sister’s mirror was so dusty…)
Dress, hoodie & jewellery: MA*RS | Belt: GOLDS Infinity
 Tights: Select | Boots: Dorothy Perkins

I didn’t bother to do my hair that day because 1) I woke up pretty late and 2) I was bursting to open presents and really couldn’t be bothered. I literally jumped onto everyone’s bed to wake them up… I’m not a child, I swear.

Christmas event number 3: Boxing Day! Boxing Day is the British equivalent to Black Friday, and it’s where all the sales start. I literally rolled out of bed, and went out to town to hunt done some bargain items but I ended up only buying one thing that was actually in the sale. There was just nothing left for me to buy! I guess that means I have more money to spend later on…

Oh wow that’s a terrible photo! I’m so sorry!

My sister, mum and I then treated ourselves to some food at Pizza Hut and boy it was filling! I can never seem to eat more than a couple of slices of pizza before I feel full, and yet I could eat a mountain of Sunday Roast dinner. Hmm.

I’m not actually going to upload a picture of my outfit as it was really, really plain… The only pretty thing was the MA*RS skirt, and the sweater made me look all weird… Sorry guys!

Anyways, I guess that’s all for now! Sorry for the rambling and the never-ending list of photos… But I just wanted to do everything Christmas-related in one post so that I can move onto the new year. I’m just so excited! Are you?

One final photo~


Until next week!

Merry Xmas, Take Two

Xmas is the time to spend with your family so for the whole day I found myself scoffing K’s beautiful cupcakes that she made and lounging around in my pjs before I actually decided to get off my ass and doll up.

If it had been any other Xmas I would’ve been as excited as any other person on Xmas day but I just wasn’t feeling it. But it was still nice to spend some time with the ones I love.

In my last post you may have already seen my LOTD, but here are some more photos that I have to share with you 😀

And these are the photos I took when I dolled up (well, actually got dressed…) Wore my MA*RS top  that I got from Gorgeous Barbie for the first time and I’m already in love <3

So my curls died down at this point.. ;_; 
MA*RS top, MA*RS skirt, floral print tights from Primark

I’m not really the person to share all of my presents online but these are the fabulous posters that my boyf got me. I love them so much! 😀 He knows me too well… Be jealous, GOT fans, be very jealous.

 

 

And last, but not lease, the Xmas tree!

I didn’t really take any photos of the food we ate, but we didn’t go along with the English tradition of having Turkey but with having roast duck pancakes! It was so yummy.

That’s all for now; until next time, beautiful readers!

Merry Xmas Everyone!

I shouldn’t be writing this post right now because I should be helping my mum out with the Xmas dinner but… I WANTED TO GIVE YOU ALL MY LOVE and hope that y’all have a wonderful Xmas! 😀

Here’s me in my onesie; I shall write a better post later on when I have time ^^

I love you all so very much <3 And never take things for granted, especially the ones you love <3

Pressie Time! // 3月29日 //

We exchanged gifts ~ it was a bit late because we weren’t able to wrap them and we had to pick Stef’s up from the delivery office >< I was so very excited, and hoped Stef liked what I bought for him! This is what he bought for me~

Anna Smith bag, beautyUK glitter liner, top from Select and Angel eye lashes! >\< I luuurved them all so much *_* 

I realised I didn’t take a piccie of my top so here it is ^^

It looks so much better when worn OTL

The bag had little bows on it! Was so pretty *_* It’s now my fave bag 😀 

Isn’t it so pretty? *_* And at a perfect size to fit everything in tehe~

I got him this Thermaltake gaming mouse which I had been saving up for as I was unable to get it for him for Xmas ;_; he looked so happy! Tehe >\<

I have to say that this mouse was actually pretty impressive o_O Looks so… Graphical! And sleek too.

That’s all for this post! It’s very short and haven’t got many pictures but OH WELL.

My Xmas day

Technically I’m still on my Xmas holiday as the New Year hasn’t really started, but this post will cover what I’ve been doing over Xmas! ^^

Luckily I was able to get time off work so that I could spend Xmas with my boyf and the family <3 I would rather be working on New Years than Xmas, ’cause… Well, I just would 😛 I was so worried about whether or not my boyf would like his presents, but I’m so glad that he did! >//< I can’t believe this is our 2nd Xmas together <3
Speaking of presents, I received lots of lovely ones! I got some new clothes (and a Golds Infinity top from bby *_*), laptop case, books, lush products… They were all so lovely! I’m so grateful ^3^ Especially because I’ve moved away an’ all, so I really didn’t expect anything >//<

I would post piccies of my Xmas here with my family, but Idk if they’ll like being posted on here or not D: So I don’t have any where I’m by the Xmas tree them… Sorry! ;_;

I do, however, have piccies of my make and of me wearing my new top ! >3<

Sorry for the really dark photo ;_; 

But this was my make of the day! ^^

So how was your Xmas? Did you receive lots of wonderful pressies? ^^

P.S I’ve completely changed my layout! Tehehe~ I feel so much better with this one ^3^
