Christmas table was set for 12 this year, obviously mom, dad and my 4 siblings, along with my aunt, uncle, nan and grandad; however this year my brothers girlfriend also spent Christmas morning and Christmas dinner with us...
Mom has a knack for floristry and was able to create two fabulous centre pieces for the table...what a woman!
Starter: Classic Prawn Cocktail
Main Course: What else would you have on Christmas than a roast Turkey dinner with all the glorious trimmings!
Dessert: Christmas pudding was the main dessert but there was the option of mince pies with brandy cream...
A good old cuppa...
To accompany teas and coffee we had a Panettone, if your new to Panettone it is an Italian sweet bread loaf that you eat with jam or butter...
Chocolates were also offered with tea and coffee...
What did I get for Christmas?
This is no way intended to brag or show off, I know from myself that it's quite nice to have a nose at others people possessions and I wanted to share everything with you, so I decided to post what I had for Christmas...
I was a very lucky girl this year, spoilt rotten by everyone...
Beauty galore...skin products, makeup, nails, tanning, hair and perfumes!
Like most girls I'm totally in love with soap and glory so any S&G product is welcomed with open arms! My brother and his girlfriend surprised me with this nail care package, that included a hand moisturiser that I may say smells incredible, hand scrub, Emory boards and a selection of two nail polishes...
Perfumes...
Ed Hardy is a childhood favourite of mine and momma always gets me a bottle for Christmas...
Lady GaGa, Fame is a new fragrance I was introduced to by a friend, although it's not the longest of lasting perfumes it does smell glorious; and the bottles pretty cool!
Avon, Soft Musk which is a everyday perfume...
Bits and Bobs...
Gil Elvgren is a genius in my eyes so it's always a pleasure to have something that includes his art, last year I had a 2014 Gil Elvgren diary that had a pinup portrait for every day of the year; so having a calendar for next year is perfectly, especially now I have quite a few dealines at university...
New makeup bag that features 7 classic beauties...
After watching a number of YouTube tutorials on vintage 1950's hairstyles I decided to ask Santa for a curling tong to try out these techniques. I've always used heated curlers in the past but the curls never seem to hold so I'm venturing out into the hairstyling world and will let you know how I'm getting on...
I was incredibly lucky to receive a new camera this year, hopefully this will improve the quality of my blog pictures and capture the beauty in everything!
Aside from being a vintage fan I'm also a huge lover of Ralph Lauren so it was a shock when I opened the wrapping to find a Ralph Lauren side pouch this morning...
Lingerie is a love of mine and Christmas is a time to take advantage of new underwear, this is one of the sets I received this year; a deep burgundy bra, French knickers and suspenders. In addition to that some Stockings with a black seam were thrown in aswell...
I've never been a fan of candles but lately they've grown on me and now I can't get enough! So candles were on my Christmas list this year...
This gorgeous chest was a present from my brother, purple being my favourite colour and the vintage flare that covers it he knew that I would love it!
Well I hope this has entertained you for a little while and that you have enjoyed reading it, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you all the best for new year and 2015!
