Oh Lanvin Tree, Oh Lanvin Tree

This year, Lanvin's creative director, Alber Elbaz has designed the christmas tree for the famous Claridge's in London! Elbaz has managed to work his whimsical charm into the design (I love it that Elbaz made himself the angel at the top!) and has created a heartwarming tree that has put me right into a christmassy mood! 

Bring on the mince pies and the cheesy christmas carols! 

(Favourite has to be Wham - Last Christmas...)

All That Glitters.

When my grandma passed away last year, we had the tiresome task of sorting out all her belongings and deciding what to keep and what not. This wonderful looking wooden box was hiding in the back of her wardrobe and it was like finding hidden treasure. I opened it up and discovered my gran's collection of costume jewellery. I've never worn any of it but I thought it was far too beautiful not to show you! The jewellery box itself is amazing. It has a little key which opens it and it can play a musical tune. It is definitely something I would save if my house was on fire. I photographed my favourite items to show you but there is a lot more pieces just as lovely (two boxes more in fact). 

Speaking of jewellery, here is the tiara I bought for the Royal Wedding celebrations earlier this year (£2 from Claire's). Me and some friends from uni dressed up, ate cake and drank champagne the whole day. I wish there was a royal wedding every day.

Hope you have all had a lovely weekend!

Nail Art.

Nail art has been a pretty big trend this year. I think with the recession that has hit us, instead of investing in an outfit, people have decided to splurge on nail varnish instead! 

Love all these designs - especially the galaxy nails! I just wish I could stop biting my nails and let them grow long.. they are far too short and stumpy for my liking! 

Coursework is killing me.

Pretty Pastels.

Pretty pastel pictures that brighten up my cold and wet rainy day! I've had a lot of coursework to do recently so have neglected my blog...

Here is something cute to look at whilst i'm gone:
