Christmas Wishlist

First of all, where have I been?

I'm in my final year of secondary school, and for my Christmas result, we've been doing assessments over the last three months, which has proved stressful and extremely time consuming!

My last two tests are this week, which means hopefully more time to study to more of a schedule, and actually more time to blog!

Today I have my Christmas wishlist, and I know, it's perhaps a tad early (although December is tomorrow) to start my Christmas series, but why not! The season is short after all.

                                      

First thing on my wishlist is the Blank Canvas cream contour palette. I have been using a powder for my contour, but my friend has this one and I feel it gives a lot more definition.

The next thing is a burgundy midi skirt from Missguided. I've been eyeing this skirt up for a while, and I think it will be fab for casual or formal wear. 

I would also love the new album 'Purpose' by Justin Bieber. His new songs have been so catchy lately, and I'm not ashamed to say I love all of the songs I've heard!

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is definitely at the top of my book list! I've wanted this for a while but haven't really been able to find it anywhere! 

The final thing on this wish list is a palette from Morphe. The palette has lots of colours and seeing as I want to extend my eyeshadow skills, this palette will definitely help.

I hope you enjoyed this post and that perhaps it gave you inspiration for your own wish list or for another person!

Until next time,

Tis the Season....Right?

 

So, I know it's only the beginning of November, but everything, everywhere is screaming Christmas. And, honestly, I'm actually excited about it! Don't get me wrong, I'm still into my fall colors for fashion, but I am starting to get into the Christmas spirit. My son is over a year old now, and I think that is the biggest factor in my excitement this year. I can't wait to see him digging in all of the Christmas decorations, wearing his new Christmas pajamas (and yes, I already have a set for him), and tearing into his Christmas presents. Santa Claus has even started buying presents for him (he's on top of it this year)!

So, in the spirit of Christmas, I have posted a few of my favorite Pinterest pictures below for Christmas decorations. How do you plan on decorating your home this Christmas?

 

I think cotton balls might be a better idea for my home, but I love the look of this as a hanging centerpiece. 

 



This front porch is to die for.  My husband and I recently moved, and there are lots of pine trees in our yard.  I'm thinking of collecting the pinecones and attempting something like this.  I may also hit up Homegoods to see if they have anything to help.  

I'm loving this classic-looking mailbox with winter decor.  Because, you know, the mailbox is cold and needs some warmth.  ;)

I love a decorated staircase during the Christmas season, however I have never thought of using the bottom of the railing instead of the top.  Very neat idea.  

This would look great with a black or gold window pane and coordinating bow and bells.  

I don't know about you, but I hate putting tags on presents.  I think it's either laziness, or my tags never look great attached.  However, I thought writing on the actual package is a cute alternative and easy to do.  I have actually done this before and love the ease.
