LIFESTYLE: Holly jolly Christmas TAG

December December December where have you been all year?I've decided as tomorrow is the first of December to do the holly jolly Christmas Tag because I thourght it would be fun and funny...
Holly Jolly Holiday Tag Questions:
-Favorite Christmas movie? If I was to say elf I would just be a cliche so Im going to have to go for either family stone or home alone 1 because the are very good. Family stone has a great cast and an amazing story line, defiantly watch it if you haven't!! Home alone i don't really think needs a lot of explaining. Macaulay Culkin fits the bill very well.

-Are you on the Naughty list or the Nice list? I wouldn't be the one to awnser this one but I guess the naughty, oops.

-Have you ever had a White Christmas? Yes a few, we've had more white Christmas eves which have been very fun, once me and my brother went out in our pjs to have a snowball fight because we where just so excited that it's was snowing, normal children.

-Where do you usually spend your holiday? At home, we usually will go out to relatives for new year.

-Play or sing your favorite Christmas song! You want me too pick one, I have a 100 song playlist on spotify and I can only pick one? Well my fave Christmas song would then have too be, baby it's cold outside, the original. Or driving home for Christmas by Chris Rhea.

-Do you open any presents on Christmas Eve? Yes we get to open one present that we pick. Lots of people open pjs on christmas eve but we just chose a present to open, like a lucky dip...

-Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? 
Without googles help(I'm going to fail): rudolf, dasher, dancer, prancer, blixon, is there one called comet? Cupid and I think there's donner... silently singing the song.

-What holiday tradition are you looking forward to most this year? Making new ones, we don't really have any.

-Is your Christmas tree real or fake? Real, of course, they just smell so so good!!!

-Hands down, what's your all-time favorite holiday food and holiday sweet treat? Hands down it's has to be candy canes. Snuggling on the sofa watching a Christmas movie whilst holding the guineas and drinking a hot chocolate using the candy cane as a soon. That Is winter in a nutshell. 

-Be honest: do you like giving gifts or receiving gifts better? Both, I love planning the gifts I will be giving and doing late night Christmas shopping and I love to wrap the gifts. I think I should work at Lapland gift wrapping all the toys...

-What would be your dream place to visit for the holiday season? New yoooooork!! Do I need to say anymore!?

-Does your family have a special holiday recipe you like to help make? My mum makes a pretty good Yorkshire puddin'. They blow up like balloons in the oven and go a little crazy. 

-Are you a pro-present wrapper, or do you fail miserably? I love gift wrapping but I do have to pace myself because I will get frustrated that the paper won't go the way I intended it to go.

-Most memorable Holiday moment? Has to be when I was about 5 or 6 and I got a white Nintendo ds for Christmas, I was over the moon with this present, litterally the best thing ever. I loved mario cart so much that I didn't look where I was walking and walked strait into the kitchen cupboards, still remember thy moment to this day.

-What made you realize the truth about Santa? My silly brother told me one day.

-Do you make New Years resolutions? Do you stick to them? I do make them but there usually broken within the first week of January.

-What makes the Holidays special for you? The atmosphere of it all, the jollyness of everyone and how joyful people get. And the presents, well there just an extra layer of happiness for everyone.

Have a nice week, cheerio

STYLE: Monochrome winter

Good morning all! As I type this I feel as if my fingers are going to stop working mid sentence. The weather is insane at the moment. Aposoutly FREEZING!! I don't know how people live in such extreme temperatures else where in the world! It's been down to -3 degrees today and oh my goodness is it so cold.
Alas the cold weather means wrapping up warm and wearing nice cosy clothing items. Therefor I do have a OUTFIT  post for you all today!! Woop woop. It's an asos edit and that therefor mean I did indeed go slightly crazy. But when I saw their selection of Christmassy socks, I decided that that was an exception I was willing to make(and dos go slightly crazy).


Monochrome winter wishlist




Asos is a definite favorite shop for me, I think of it as a communal online shopping center because it brings lots of shops together into one sight which for me is perfect because, if Im being honest, I cannot be bothered to go looking through a billion different online shops to find several clothing items I want.
My set is definitely very very monochrome(basically my style) but I did find the shrug which I immediately fell in love with and adored.
I really loved the bag because it was very minimal and chic, easy to dress up or dress down depending on what I'm doing.
Despite it being winter, I do think that sunglasses are still a very handy thing to have and really liked the rectangular cat eyes I saw.
The White shoes are different to what I would usually go for and are a big fashion statement which I don't really have the confidence to wear but would try to pull them off.
Those where my favorites from this set I have made but I do think all of the items on here are lovely and would wear them all, particularly the bag and sunglasses.

I hope you all have a lovely week, cheerio!

BEAUTY: Nail Varnishes

Hello or should i say welcome to my little guilty pleasure. no, no chocolate is here, its just a blog. Well, hello everyone! Id just like to start of by saying thank you all so much for visiting and commenting and liking, if you have, and please follow me! Ive been wanting to start off a blog for so long now as the whole idea of YouTube ing, isnt really my cup of tea. I decided that, after lots of pushing myself, i would start blogging about the lings i am passionate about, make up and clothes. Just kidding, On my blog you may find a variety of different things that could entail beauty or  fashion may even do a little cooking(i do love a bit of cooking) or just to sum it all up into a nutshell my blog is going to be a lifestyle blog so all those this under one http.

Ive made a few plans on some blog ideas but not many so would appreciate it if you would comment some ideas you may have and i can try them out.

Gotten all the rambley parts taken care of and so now am actually going to write about something you probably care about.

My Favorite Autumn/ winter nail varnishes- Ive picked out high and low end products to hopefully suit everyone budget. (this may give a little inspiration on Christmas gifts, i shall be writing a blog post on a Christmas gift guide as well)

My first set is what im going to call glitz and glamour because they are all neutral with shimmer, not mentioning the glitter nail varnish in the middle!! I really like the L'Oreal nail varnishes, i think its the brush that is just so easy to use. They're long but wide so you can cover your whole nail in one motion. I have two, the greyish toned one is called parisian roof and i absolutely adore this color on my nails i think it looks super chic and the other called macaron noisette which is more of a neutral beige with a slight shimmery tint. I think that the L'Oreal nail varnishes are a reasonable price for the product your buying as they do last quite a while. The middle colour is from primark and is a gold glitter, i think that this nail varnish is so pretty on a feature nail with a nice grey for the rest and it looks super chic and classy! This i got in a set for £2. Bargain.

L'Oreal Macaroon Noisette
My second set is more of a wintery scene. I think that the colors are very chic and classy when on and although black can be a grungey color i think the chanel one i have is perfect because when it catches the light it does go shimmery and really beautiful. They grey is from primark and was also in a set for £2 and although i really like the shade it produces it isnt very hard waring and does chip easily.
Primark beauty, grey
Chanel noir ceramic 337
My last but certainly not least is my Christmas nail varnishes. If you know me and you know me quite well you will know how much i love Christmas, if you don't know me, ill just tell you now, Christmas is my favorite  time of the year. I just love Christmas... These nails are perfect for The day or a Christmas party you may be attending and they are so festive and beautiful. They are both red but they look classic and you can wear the sparkle over the red and it looks so festive and lovely.
