Here’s what I’m wearing today Tuesday December 22. It was my last day of work today before the Christmas break, and I’m so excited to get some time off. And what better way to start your holiday than by wearing a jumper with a velociraptor wearing a santa hat with a bell on it.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I know that this make-up look might be more summery than wintery, but I don’t care, because I really like how this looked turned out.

Here’s what I’m wearing today Monday December 21. I thought it was time to bring out my kilt, because tartan print is just so festive, especially when paired with another festive print and red in general.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Doing this make-up look reminded me of why I don’t like black eyeshadow and winged liner looks. I love the idea behind this look, but I’m horrible at doing winged liner even with eyeshadow, so the look turned out to be a bit of a mess. At least up close; from afar it looks okay. And again, if you don’t practice you won’t get any better.

Here’s what I wore yesterday Saturday December 19. For obvious reasons I’m not going to any Christmas parties this year, but I’ve had such an urge to dress up, so my boyfriend and I decided to have our own two-person Christmas party at home. I decided to wear lots of sequins and sparkles; it’s such a mood lifter.
(Jumper – Dorothy Perkins, skirt – H&M, heels – & Other Stories)
I have a collective clothes, shoes, and accessories haul to share with you. I’ve collected these items over the past couple of months I believe, so it’s about time that I post this haul.
Let’s start with a couple of sweater vests. I’m still a fan of this trend, and I thought these two were so cute. The beige, black, grey, and cream one is from Stradivarius, and the purple and navy one is from Daisy Street (both purchased on Asos).
I know that this skirt is out of season right now, but I found it on sale on Monki’s website, and it’s just so pretty. It’s in the same style as this floral skirt, which I loved in the summer.
I have two more items from Monki in this haul. I love fun, cute socks, and these dark plum coloured socks with an embroidered orchid were just too cute to leave behind. Orchids are some of my favourite flowers by the way.
You have already seen me wear these brown animal print furry boots from Monki with this outfit. I was a little afraid that they would be uncomfortable, because of the hight of the heel, but they’re really not. I think I might get a lot of wear out of these.
And now on to another pair of boots. These chunky boots are from Asos, and I love the style and thought the colour was quite unique.
Here’s a couple of pretty, festive headbands; perfect for this time of year (or all year round if you are addicted to glitter and sparkles like I am).
Last up; jewellery. The ear studs with the bowls of confetti are from Flying Tiger, and I was obviously drawn to the confetti part. Not sure how I feel about the studs though. I’m loving the golden T-Rex earrings from Topshop though. Aren’t they just the cutest? And lastly, I’ve bought two rings from Asos. I love both of these rings, and I have already worn both of them so much.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love a blue eye look, and these shades (all from the same little quad) look so nice together. And I’m obsessed with this glittery, glossy red lip. It’s so festive!

Here’s what I’m wearing today Friday December 18. Another red and blue Christmas look, which I’ve been loving this festive season.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I had this idea of doing a Christmas neapolitan style eye look, and this is how the look turned out. I think it’s such a fun and festive look, especially when paired with a sparkly red lip and the big, festive jewellery.
(Base: primers – Wet n Wild Photofocus face primer matte + MAC Prep + Prime Natural Radiance Illuminating Base (shade: Radiant Yellow), foundation – Maybelline Dream Urban Cover foundation (shade: 100 Warm Ivory), concealer – L’Oréal Infaillible More Than Concealer (shade: 322 Ivory), powders – e.l.f.

Here’s what I’m wearing today Thursday December 17. This outfit is very casual, so I decided to go all out with festive and blingy jewellery and make-up.
