Here’s what I wore Tuesday December 10. At first sight this might not appear to be a super Christmassy outfit, but the Christmas elements are definitely there, and I also just think that it’s a fun look.

I have a H&M sale haul to share with you today. Since I purchased these items back in July, many of the things are quite summery.
I picked up three rather summery dresses, however, I actually wore the blue slip dress with this winter look. I wore the white floral dress on my birthday in August, and I think it’s very cute. I’m not sure about the last slip dress though. Might not be my style.
I really like all four of these tops; they’re good staples.
I don’t wear a lot of blue denim these days, but I thought these parachute style baggy ones were fun and a bit different.
I picked up one bag, this yellowy green straw one. I thought it would be a nice bag for summer.
I also got two hats; another big straw hat (I have more than one already) and a crochet beret.
You know I love my hair accessories, and I added another bow hair clip and another headband to my collection.
I also bought these two pairs of fun, dangly earrings.
The last two items are not from H&M’s own brand, but from partner brands. I got this pair of silver glitter sling backs from & Other Stories.
And lastly, I picked up the Sigma Beauty Enchanted eyeshadow palette, which has been on my wishlist for quite a while. It’s a very pretty neutral palette with a twist.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’ve worn more burgundy make-up looks this Christmas season than I usually do, and I’m loving it.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I finally got my hands on the Give Me Glow Cosmetics Christmas Morning palette, which I’ve been wanting for so long, and I really like the quality of the shadows and how the eye look turned out.

Here’s what I wore Friday December 6. It was my first day back at work after having the flu for most of the week last week, and then I got a really bad stomach flu Tuesday night this week, which is why I haven’t posted the past three days. So my family and I have been ill all of December so far, and I’m sick of it (pun intented).

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I woke up with a sore throat and a cold that day, and even though I’m wearing a full face of make-up in these pictures, and still think you can see that I wasn’t feeling well. It took me almost a week to get well, and my cold isn’t gone yet.

Here’s what I wore Sunday December 1. I went to a family brunch that Sunday, and I thought this look was a cute, Christmassy brunch look.
(Jumper – VRS, skirt – COLLUSION, tights – Netto, boots – Asos Design)
I usually do a Christmas clothing and accessories haul every year, and some years it’s bigger than others. This year it’s not the biggest Christmas Christmas clothing and accessories haul I’ve ever posted, but it’s a pretty decent one.
I actually purchased a pair of Christmas shoes this year. When I saw these Mickey Mouse Xmas Crocs, I knew I wanted them, but they were a little expensive, so I waited till they went on sale, and then I bought them. They’re just so festive, and they’re lined, so they’re really warm too.
Let’s move on to the clothes. I purchased this red jumper with penguins on it at a supermarket called Coop 365 or 365discount.
Then I bought this jumper, cardigan, and sweater vest from the supermarket brand VRS (purchased at Bilka), which is one of my go-to places for shopping Christmas clothes.
I decided to include this The Nightmare Before Christmas T-shirt from Asos Design in this haul, since Jack Skellington is wearing his santa outfit on the back of the T-shirt, and Zero is holding a candy cane in this mouth on the front.
I also got some black tights with red bows from another supermarket called Netto, and I got some new Christmassy socks from H&M.
Lastly, I picked up some jewellery from Flying Tiger; some golden bow earrings with red bells, some asymmetrical snow man earrings, and a golden Christmas tree brooch.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. The BH Cosmetics Miss Claus The Lit List palette is one of my Christmas make-up staples.
