Inspiration



With the big day drawing closer I am in full festive season swing. Even my work mates are commenting on my festive red nails, sparkle eyeliner and most importantly christmas themed earrings.

So the biggest question is how am I going to theme Christmas. Well obviously its going to be vintage, but do I go for standard colours or for more of a mix?



So I decided to dive head first into the world of Christmas and head to my local Christmas kingdom. Oh my did I head to the right place. It was full of everything Christmas however amongst my frenzy of decoration buying a question was raised that I never thought I'd ask myself. "Do I need a 5ft crystal deer filled with LED lights?" Thankfully the price tag answered it but for some strange reason I would like to have a couple of them on my lawn at the moment.

Yummy Treats




Now for one reason or another gingerbread is big at Christmas, personally my weakness is Walkers Shortbread; however this year I found these amazing gingerbread cookies.



My local bakery is usually known for Greek treats such as baklava (ok mind drifting off to yummy cake thoughts now) but on my weekly trip to find delicious food I came across these!



Aren't they cute and not always the traditional designs. I especially love the dachshund above, SO CUTE!!!! So I stocked up as a welcome gift for all my house guests this Christmas. I'll let you know what they thought after they get here.




Merry Christmas

Dear Santa....

With Christmas well and truly here I thought I might treat myself to a couple of gifts from Santa.

Plus with the Aussie dollar being so strong with the US dollar I jumped online and picked up these little numbers, and bonus they were on sale too.

So at least my summer wardrobe will be sorted this January. Now does this mean I get to buy shoes for my birthday??? Or am I just dreaming

The weekend ahead



Ok everyone its time to put on a great frock and head to Doncaster East for the Rod and Kustom Pile up. What's even cooler that the cars is the shopping including Kat from My Little Rockabilly heading down south with some of her amazing fashion pieces. So I think I know where I'll be doing my Christmas Shopping.
