My Christmas gifts

Christmas as come and gone ...but the fun fashion items remain. Check out some of the goodies as I drink my last bit of eggnog.

I love, love the meringue ring my husband got me and wear it often (gosh, it's difficult to photograph your own hand). I got the gorgeous MAC holiday gift sets (the lips and eyes, double yea) from my wish list. Even from far away my big sis still amazes me. The fingerless gloves which I always thought were daft have turned out to be perfect for three quarter length sleeves, what with the current freeze and my love of shorter sleeves and bracelets.

Kids @ Christmas

So the holidays have come and gone. The memories... and toys remain. A few pics of Zoe Isobel and Mika with some of the spoils. We spends tons of time in the house where after bedtime the architect elves rebuild the building blocks so Mika can demolish them within a minute the next day.

 

The play tent from H&M All for Children which I blogged about earlier. The crown and matching wand are also from H&M which looks pretty darn good with the coif and spiked hair clip. The swat bib is from The Kings of the House (currently one of the Fab sales). The Dora the Explorer block sets were purchased on Vente Exclusive.

Origami

First things first; Happy New Year! I hope it brings you an even better year than 2012! If 2012 was so-so, may 2013 be a good one. If 2012 was already good, may 2013 be better. If 2012 was better, may 2013 be Amazing!!

To start off 2013 a bit of Japanese inspired styling in the form of origami. Cute and fun while still fresh and simple, just perfect. The skirt is from Topshop. The necklace is from River Island. The sweater and dress (no longer available) are from Asos.

Merry Christmas

 

Merry Christmas! Hope you have a great day. The gifts are wrapped, the turkey is in the fridge, the kids are dreaming of sugarplums, so I am pretty sure that we will be having a great day at home. An old-fashioned holiday at home with turkey, garlic mashed potatoes and french beans on the menu and lots and lots of gifts to unwrap. Whatever your plans, enjoy your day!

Kids Christmas wish lish

Having kids is a great excuse...reason to go Christmas shopping. I mean imagine their little faces if there were no presents under the tree, or gasp if there was no tree at all? I am sure my kids would survive, being as they're too young to get why mom is acting dopier than usual. But I just can't seem to help myself. Here are a few things I would not mind gifting my little ones; ages 2 and a half & 9 months.

  

 

1. A play kitchen has been on the list since.. like forever (okay, about six months) but try and find one that is not a case of screamingly bright primary color overload. How sweet and natural looking is this one from Momoll?

2. This frame would look so cute in Mika's or Zoe Isobel's room. Space for a picture and a treasured item. Love, love this face photo frame from M by Authentics.

3. Wooden toys, especially puzzles are my choice for first toys. I adore the puzzles from DwellStudio and think this the animal tower would be great fun.

 

Crayons, crayons and more crayons because drawing is now a standard activity in our home. The cutest little personalised map to hold them all is on it's way, but more about that another time. 1 Diamonds are a girl's best friend; crystal crayons from Kikkerland. 2. For the Lego-lovers amongst us; stack-a-doodle crayons, available at Perpetual Kid. 3. An oldie but goodie with finally a good reason to get them; crayons rings from Timothy Liles, available at GNR8.
