Well Christmas is now officially over everyone and of course I hope every single one of you lovelies had a great Christmas? did you all get what you wanted? stuff yourself silly and realise that your bank account has suddenly become really small? Yeah me too....but overall it was a lovely Christmas. Such an excellent family time I think. Well now that Christmas is over, I know it's time to get back to business for a few of us. I am still of college for a little while but I have now decided to start work on presentation boards, design sourcebooks etc, and yes that is how I spent my boxing day, with tons and tons of work, so no I never got to go to the boxing day sales this year :( Made me extremely sad. However while I catch up with my work that I had been procrastinating on, I realised that when it hit Christmas eve it has been exactly a year since I had to cut all of my hair off. Long story short, I used to dye my hair to much and then when I went to get it fixed a certain hairdresser bleached my hair even more and my hair was completely destroyed. Like beyond repair!. To all the girls out there you will know just how much our hair means to us. But I did grow to love my short hair and even kept it that way for a little while, when the new year came around I felt like a new person and had started a brand new chapter of my life. The year before had never actually been that great, and I felt like my life was in need of a change. i just had to go in a new direction. In a way, you could say I felt as though a weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. Well I have grown so accustomed to my short hair that I don't know if I want to continue growing it long or cut it again? Such a tough, tough decision. Which is why I have decided to call on all you guys to help me with my decision. What do you think I should do?
Natural Hair (Long time ago!)
Yes Christmas time is almost upon us! after just 2 more sleeps one of my favourite times of the years will arrive and pass in the blink of an eye! but I must not get too ahead of myself right now because right now it is at that time of the year where I am staring at all the stacked up presents that I have bought for my family that are nowhere near wrapped or even sorted at all!. Now usually I would be wrapping all my presents on Christmas eve, however this year I am a little booked to even have the time to wrap my presents this year tomorrow night. So right now I am sitting in my room with a cup of hot chocolate ( a necessity for this time if year!) as I wrap my christmas presents with the Santa Clause films on in the background to get me a little more into the festive spirit. Like most of you guys, this time of the year is exceptionally hectic and I feel as though there is a lot I have not done. Don't you just hate that feeling? especially at Christmas time! I must admit though that this Christmas eve shall be rather exciting and eventful. First I shall be doing some last minute shopping, then off to see the Hobbit with the family and then I'm getting my party shoes and frock on and heading out for a night on the town with some of the best girls that I know!. Yes, I feel as though this Christmas season shall be a good one!. I hope the rest of you lovely, wonderful people are having a good time during this wonderful holiday season and I truly hope each and everyone of you will have a merry Christmas!. As for now I am off to go wrap the rest of my presents. That is if the Santa Clause films don't distract me first!. Actually, I'll end this blog post with a questions for you guys. What's your favourite christmas film? and what are you up to this festive season?
Baby it's cold outside.....and it feels as though this winter is just about to get even colder meaning that we all might have to wrap up a lot more than we already are which can sometimes leave you feeling bulky and over dressed. However, I personally love the winter season and winter fashion certainly makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, literally and metaphorically. So if you feel as though the winter season can make you inner fashionista, here are some winter fashion trends that might help you feel less bulky and more fashionable.
Casual Blazers
Casual blazers are tailored to fit your shoulders and waist and won't leave you feeling to bulky. In fact, a blazer can sometimes feel more comfortable than a huge oversized coat.
Skinny Jeans
Skinny jeans are known as the "Perfect staple" for any wardrobe during the winter. You can team a pair of yours with an over sized think knit jumper for warmth and style.
Over sized Scarves.
Yes, Yes. I know I said these are trends that are supposed to feel like you aren't dressed so bulky. But come on, who can resist an over sized scarf? They always look so great and not to mention, they keep you so toasty warm.
Large Comfy Sweaters
Personally, Large comfy sweaters are my favorite staple winter wardrobe piece. Like I mentioned above they can be teamed with an ever flattering pair of skinny jeans. But the best part about a large comfy sweater? is that they are warm enough so you don't have to wear a large coat at all and not to mention they are just super stylish.
One of my favourite British High street stores, Topshop, has officially unveiled their first ever Christmas campaign advert featuring American Actress Kate Bosworth, who I think is a huge fashion icon right now!.
The short film entitled "Winter Wonderland" sees the stunning actress wear a customer made Topshop evening dress, that Kate herself helped design in a co - partnership, as she stands on a grand piano in an old fashioned Jazz club as she sings her own version of the hit christmas song "Winter Wonderland", which will be available to download on itunes, Shazam and spotify.
It has also been said that Topshop are hoping to become the christmas number 1 this year and in true Topshop style, the fashion chain has been promoting this ad for various weeks now releasing teaser trailers without actually revealing who the face of christmas campaign was, but instead encouraging viewers and the public to try and guess using the hashtag on twitter #whosthatgirl.
Being a huge fan of Topshop, I am never left dissapointed and finally seeing the video for the first time sparked the christmas spirit in me. In particular I am a huge fan of the setting of the short film, it reminded me off an old classic movie and Kate Bosworth was like the old fashioned film actress playing the lead role. There's something about old classics that gets me everytime.
So has anyone else seen the "Winter Wonderland" short film yet? and if so what was your thoughts on it?
