We’re taking a short break over the next week for the holidays & will be back in the New Year with lots of fresh content. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas & New Year, and that you get everything you wished for!

I also just wanted to use this as an opportunity to say thankyou to all of you who continue to read, comment, send me lovely emails & chat with me on social media, it still amazes me what this blog has grown into & it would not be possible without you guys. I know some of you have been here right since the beginning & that fills me with warm fuzziness. I appreciate you all & your support more than you know.

If you guys have any suggestions of things you like to see more of around here, things you don’t like & would like to see less of, or suggestions for new posts, please drop me an email or a quick tweet, I’d love to hear your input! I’m thinking of reinstating the old inspiration & playlist posts, and maybe adding a little more lifestyle too, as these are things that have been mentioned to me quite a bit recently. Let me know what you think!

Happy holidays & see you all in the New Year!

A few weeks ago I was invited down for a little festive blogger party with the guys from Bloody Mary Metal, I’m a huge fan of the brand, as I’m sure you know & I was super excited to finally meet Lucy, and Amy too. I always love when you get the chance to meet people in person who you’ve been emailing or chatting to over social media for a while & it’s even better when they’re even more lovely than you imagined!

I headed over to Abandon Ship Apparel‘s London store & downstairs I was instantly greeted with lots of festive Winterspell goodness! All of the pieces from the new collection, as well as old favourites were beautifully laid out ready to try on & drool over, there were so many gorgeous pieces it’d be hard to pick just one favourite but I loved the Tribal Moon Pendent & matching ring, the Handful of Arrows Necklace & the dainty little Wishbone Midi Ring too.

Keeping with the Christmas spirit we were treated to a heap of party food, bubbles & a tower of Winterspell themed cupcakes from my favourite Tattooed Bakers, which were every bit as delicious as they looked! We pulled crackers winning threadbare bracelets, got covered in metallic temporary tattoos, had our nails done & there was also a Christmas tree in the corner dressed with baubles with everyone’s name on, each containing a little personalised stacker ring inside, which I thought was such a sweet touch. I had the best time meeting lots of awesome new people, and catching up with some familiar faces too, they went above & beyond considering it was their first event of this kind, it was so much fun & we were all well & truly spoilt.

Finally a new outfit post! Sorry for going a little MIA over the past few weeks, we had some very sad news & so obviously taking photos was not top of our priorities or something either of us really felt up to. I’m still feeling pretty run down, so this outfit’s super basic. You know when you have one of those colds where you’re really burning up? There’s frost on the ground & I’m walking around sweating in a dress & thin jacket, I couldn’t bear to put anymore layers on. Everyone on the bus looked at me like I was crazy & pretty much every old lady I passed asked me ‘aren’t you cold?!’ – Nope. I wish I was!

I’ve always been more of a Wayfarer girl, or at least that’s what I thought until I finally tried a pair of Clubmaster‘s on. What took me so long? I don’t know why but I have always assumed they wouldn’t really suit me, I usually go for chunkier plastic frames & so I never even bothered to try a pair on until recently. Surprisingly, I think I actually prefer them to my Wayfarers! This pair arrived a few weeks ago & I’ve been wearing them constantly to cover up my puffy eyes & dark circles. They’re the lightest pair I own, which is pretty perfect when you’re sinuses are all tender & swollen.
