Sparkle. (I declare it's time for Christmas.)

I am usually rather a humbug when it comes to Christmas, too much expense, too much stress, too much tat. But this year, something's different, something's in the air... and I am feeling exceedingly Christmassy!  This only happens about once every 20 years, and I last enjoyed Christmas circa 1984 so I am going to make the most of it.

As to general festivities, decorations and sparkle, I can normally take it or leave it - but this year I am going to 'deck the halls'.

I heard Wham!'s 'Last Christmas' while at the shops yesterday and that's nailed it: I am now officially in full Christmas mode!  (Sad I know, but that's me.)

To enter into the spirit of it, I found some great sparkly things while wandering around the shops yesterday. This may suggest that I am going to 'deck' my person as well - but fear not; honestly they don't look that bad or OTT in real life (I hope!)...  They just appealed :-)

H&M Sparkly scarf - £7.99


H&M Sparkly tights - £6.99
think they are navy. But my eyesight has come out in sympathy with my photography and I'm not so sure.... 

Today's outfit below:

Another purchase from H&M - cream jumper - £14.99, and tear drop pendant from the White Company.  With navy cord M&S Woman (it pains me to type that) skirt. Primark wedge ankle boots.

Right.... now I'm off to find my Wham! CD.....

  1. Love that Wham song ... I'm your saddo sister! We're obviously in sync as tomorrow I'll be posting about all things sparkly and glittering too. Like the H&M jumper .. but do you know that first thing that I noted? You have incredibly perfect eyebrows!! (and no, I haven't been drinking!!)

  2. It's not Christmas till your first hearing of Wham's Last Christmas. I love that song. Oh no, I will be singing it for the next few days now.

    And I'm in agreement with Helen - your eyebrows are totes amaze (you wouldn't believe I've never seen an episode of TOWIE would you)? Sparkly things - sometimes ... but not too much.

  4. My Christmas begins when I hear The Fairytale of New York.

    1. The top from H&M is almost as good as the White Company 'stepped hem' sweater I wore the other day - it's a great style, only downside is that it's a bit scratchy - but I always wear with a vest underneath. For that price I'm not complaining :-) xx

  5. Nice to hear you are in the Christmas Spirit, I haven't heard any Christmas songs yet, the adverts are enough to get me in the mood!
