Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone has a super day!

Round up post: Sale sale sales!

It seems like everywhere is having a sale at the moment, and it’s not even Christmas.

 

• La Senza’s sale has started, so go go go now and you might be able to snap up some bargains. I managed to get two bras, four pairs of knickers and something nice for the boyfriend in the bedroom for only £40.
• River Island’s sale started online earlier in the week and there was tons of stuff when I had a look.
• New Look’s online sale has started.
• Topshop’s online sale has started – but there really isn’t very much left in the bigger sizes.
• Republic’s online sale started earlier in the week as well and there was a lot of stuff left even just yesterday.
• HMVs online sale started, and I bought that Star Trek box set. Embarrassing geeky moment.
• Finally, NailsInc online sale started, apparently, and there’s up to 70% off some products.

Have you seen any good bargains in the sales yet? Will you be braving the masses just after Christmas? I know I most certainly won’t be!

Driving Home For Christmas.

 See the full sized image by *racheal here.

University is finished until February (re-sit of exam pending), I’m not back in work until the 30th of December and I’m just relaxing. It’s nice to be home and able to sit in front of a nice warm fire and watch some rubbish television.

The rest of this week is going to be spent wrapping presents, catching up with old friends and just not worrying about anything. Total bliss. It’s going to be really nice. Won’t be much in the way of blog posts this week except silly little things like this.

I hope everyone has had safe journeys in the horrible weather we’ve been having recently.

My Christmas Wish List

I know, I know – it’s only November. But it’s never hurt anyone to be organised. In fact, I’ve already bought a couple of Christmas presents and have ideas for ones I still need to buy – and with the Postal Strikes cancelled I’m feeling a little bit better about shopping online. My wish list consists of a couple of things that I will be getting, but also a couple of things which I will never be getting in a million years – but I can wish!

• The Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook
  
   
  I’ve mentioned this book before (where I got the brilliant brownie recipe courtesy of Afeitar and I want a copy for myself. Don’t worry, I’ve already hinted very strongly to my boyfriend who now has this saved in his bookmarks…
• Cute Overload Calendar 2010
  
  

  Another give which has been heavily hinted at. Everyone knows about cuteoverload.com and everyone loves cute animals. Sadly I don’t always have time to check it every single day and some times end up with a back log of posts to look at. With this desktop page a day calendar I can look at a cute animal every single day!

• Soul Cal Knitted Dress
  I’m obsessed with this dress so much. Isn’t it adorable? The sad thing is it’s only available online in grey in a size 8 and I don’t think there’s any grey in any size left in my local shop. I will have this dress though… somehow.

• Lace Block Poplin Dress
  It’s so simple and pretty but expensive for what it is and it must be mine. I don’t even know how I would wear this often enough to make it worth while, but I think it’s a brilliant way to be part of the lace trend.
  

• Fragrances:

  
  
  Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel & Angel by Thierry Mugler
  
  Flower Bomb by Victor and Rolf & Armani Code by Armani
• Kitchenaid KSM150BPK Artisan Mixer Pink
  
  
  Oh imagine all the cookies and cakes and muffins and brownies I could make with this bad boy… girl? I would never ever be out the kitchen.

• Billy Book Case
  ”Eww, white!” I can hear every single one of you say but hear me out. White can be painted. Any colour. With any design. Now you see my drift? I need a book case badly, but I’m not allowed any extra furnishings in the flat where I live at the moment – but as soon as I’m in a new flat I will be getting one. Or maybe someone kind enough will get me one for Christmas…

• Tiffany & Co. Crown Key Pendant in White Gold
  

  

  I only wear white gold – which annoys everyone. People moan that I don’t wear enough acessories/jewellery and now, dear blog readers, you know why. I’m a jewelley snob. I feel sorry for whoever has to buy me an engagement ring… Sadly I think this is a wish wish wish buy as it’s well over £1000…

• Tiffany & Co. Double Heart Pendant
  Oooh hello hearts and white gold and diamonds… and a £1500+ price tag.

• Nintendo Wii
    And obviously Guitar Hero, Wii Fit, Mario Kart… I could actually buy one for myself, but I still have some Christmas presents to buy first… and maybe Uggs.

That’s my list. What do you guys all have in mind for your Crimbo swag?
