Rock My World Into The Sunlight

I've been really enjoying everyone's Christmas posts so I thought i'd do one myself. I had a really nice day and got some lovely presents as well as eating lots of nice food! 

 Nina by Nina Ricci - this was one of my favourite presents as i've been wanting it for so long; definitely going to make it last!

A Christmas present to myself- my River Island purse which was a steal at £8 :)

 My very alternative Christmas dinner which tasted so good! Salmon En Croute (made by me), homemade stuffing balls, carrots and parsnips :)

Boots Christmas sale purchases - in love with my Starbucks mug!

No Christmas would be complete without a few Celebrations - love the Malteasers ones!

This is just a quick post to wish everyone a Happy Christmas for tomorrow and to anyone not celebrating, I hope you enjoy your day too :) 

I'm looking forward to all the nice food, exchanging presents and spending the day with my family. I was supposed to be out with my friends tonight but I decided I needed a quiet night in so i'm not tired or hungover on Christmas day - I have lots of food to make ;)

I went out for a meal last night to swap Secret Santa presents with my friends and for the first time ever I didn't know who was buying mine! Here's what I was given...

Fingerless Gloves / Urban Outfitters Necklace / Hotel Chocolat Reindeer

You Can See The Road Ahead In Your Dream

I'm getting quite into blogging now i've finally started writing again! This is just a quick post to share the things that I ordered in the River Island sale on Wednesday. I can't say I was that impressed with everything; I normally want to buy so much more so I was kind of happy that I didn't spend as much as I expected! I'm not sure if i'm going to keep everything; I don't know if the shoes will fit as i've never tried a pair of RI pumps and I might find a better purse in a different sale (although I had been eyeing this one up at full price).

Blue Stud Purse / Ankle Strap Pumps

Black&White Colour Block Vest / Navy Skinny Jeans / MTV Tee

You Got Me Dreaming Of A Life That Anybody Else Would Die For

Nina by Nina Ricci Perfume / Marc Jacobs Watch / River Island Purse

Incase MacBook Case / Models Own Scarlet Sparkle / Topshop Blouse

I Heart Vegas / Hotel Chocolat Tiddly Reindeer / The Hangover 1&2

I genuinely can't believe it's Christmas in 4 days! These are some of the things i'd love to be getting although its not going to happen since I haven't shared this wishlist with anyone haha. 

I'll definitely be getting myself a new purse as my 7 year old TOPSHOP one is getting a little bit old and doesn't fit my cards in it! I'm loving the colour and design of the River Island one, if I don't find a nice one in the sales I might have to have a little splurge ;)

I'm just about to go Christmas shopping, yes i've left it ridiculously late and i'm probably going to get crushed by the millions of the people who have made the same mistake as me. I've got a list which I need to stick to as I have a bit of a habit of picking up things for myself, yes, even 4 days before Christmas!

I couldn't finish this post without saying Happy 5th Birthday to my little beaut Muffin! I've missed her so much while i've been at uni and after a haircut and lots of cuddles we're both smiling again :) I've never had a Guinea Pig that has lived longer than 4 so i'm making the most of every minute with Muffin, although she hasn't really showed any signs of slowing down in her old age haha.

.1. I really shouldn't be writing this as I have a 2,500 word Marketing Plan to write that i've just found is in for Tuesday and not Friday like I first thought! I'm finding it hard to find the motivation to do it and I have no idea what to do when it comes to references! I got a bit stressed out this week about all the work i've got to do which isn't something i've had trouble with before but I went home on Friday for the day and also had a night out last night which have made me a bit happier.

.2. In a week's time i'll be home for Christmas and I honestly can't wait! Muffin is in need of a haircut and lots of cuddles which i'm very much looking forward to sorting out haha. She's 5 this month and lives a quiet little life although she still eats absolutely everything! I didn't think it was possible to miss a pet as much as I do here but it makes going home that little bit better :)

.3. I've lost misplaced my camera and I genuinely have no idea where it is! I actually want to blog but until I find it its not going to happen :( I'm hoping it will turn up when I sort out the things i'm taking home for Christmas as it's got to be in this room somewhere! I've got quite a few new clothes that I want to share and maybe a few OOTDs as lighting at home is a lot better too.

♥ of the week: I wore this top last night and i'm in love with the colour!

.1. I can't believe it's December... genuinely don't know where this year has gone and in particular my time at uni! I've had a little break from blogging... i've not had too much time on my hands and i've had a lot going on in the past few weeks so I thought i'd let blogging take a back seat for the first time in a while! I want to make an effort this month and actually publish a few posts, I like blogging and it's about time I started enjoying it again! In two weeks i'll be at home getting ready for Christmas with my family which I can't wait for. To be honest it's the fact I won't have to do my own washing or worry about what i'm going to eat that i'm looking forward to the most, as well as being surrounded by people that make me happy. I have a tiny family so Christmas is quite quiet but I think I prefer it that way :) I'm also looking forward to spending lots of time with my friends who I haven't seen in forever thanks to uni! Recent events have meant we've seen each other quite a few times but they weren't for the happiest of reasons.

.2. I've just got back from a crazy little weekend in Leeds for a reunion with a few friends. We went to the German Christmas Market yesterday which got me feeling festive and then had a night out which I can't really remember! I definitely need to get myself back to Leeds for a little shopping spree - the shops here just aren't good enough! I also finally got myself a Starbucks Gingerbread Latte which was perfection, especially as it's been so cold recently - i'm hoping it won't snow too much as i've got a few nights out planned soon!

.3. Since getting to uni i've started to like fashion a lot more and i've just treated myself to a few things from Ark. I went in their shop in Leeds and wanted to buy everything!  I got my mark back for my first uni test and did a lot better than I expected I thought it seemed like a good enough excuse!

♥ of the week: Lush Gingerbread House Tin - I wanted this last year and didn't get it so i'm really glad it's back!

And I'll Be Yours To Keep

I've just watched these three YouTube videos one after the other and I realised that they pretty much sum up what my blog is about. I just thought i'd quickly share them as they're all really nice to watch. Not sure what i'm thinking of the new YouTube layout but it will probably grow on me! Hope you're all good!
