I can't believe it's already been Christmas, I can still remember christmas last year it's crazy! This year however I have been so so spoilt and I am so grateful for all the lovely things my friends and family have bought me I didn't expect any of it, I love them all to pieces and am so lucky for each and every person in my life.
I wanted to share some of my favourite presents this year, I also got money and vouchers and lots of little bits and bobs but I thought I'd show you a few of my favourite things *starts singing sound of music*
Perfume
If you know me, smelling good is important and I got bought lots of lovely perfume this year such as Prada 'candy' which I have been lusting over for ages, and my lovely boyfriend surprised me with it. His parents also bought me my favourite perfume Marc Jacobs 'Dot' which they knew I had run out of so now I am so happy I have a new bottle, and just look at that beautiful packaging!
Candles
I couldn't believe it when my boyfriend handed me a Jo Malone bag, anything from Jo Malone is a luxury in itself! I opened the beautifully presented bag to see an even more beautifully packaged box and I opened it to find the most gorgeous candle in the scent 'lavender and lovage' it smelt so fresh and calming I can't wait to burn it!
Bath and body
I got the cutest box of bath bombs and soaps from my boyfriends nan, I've never heard of the company before but they remind me so much of lush, 'bomb cosmetics' they're called and you get a selection of Christmas themed bath goodies mostly smelling of cinnamon which is a winner for me. This gift box is called the 'Santa baby' gift box, I can't wait to be having lots of baths with these!
It's no christmas without soap & glory goodies and my best friend did well with choosing which ones! She got me this beautiful wash bag set, full with miniatures of some of my favourite soap and glory products, a favourite being the 'clean on me shower gel' which I use everyday, it's nice to have a mini version of everything too because I can take them when travelling which makes life a hell of a lot easier.
Clothing goodies
Clothes are literally the best thing anyone could buy me, I love clothes so much so I was definitely lucky to recieve some beautiful pieces. I had been eyeing this topshop leather jacket up for months, and my boyfriend then got me it for Christmas, I just love the contrasting textures with the faux fur collar and the leather.
I got a few other lovely clothing pieces my mum chose well in this department. I am going to share with you some of my favourite pieces.
Firstly is a halter neck top that I have wanted for so long but never actually bought it, it's from motel rocks and I love anything with a moon or star print on.
I also got this lovely shirt with a beautiful lace embellishment it's very sheer though so I'm definitely going to have to wear a vest or pretty bralette underneath.
My mum bought me the most amazing boots I have seen in a while, I was eyeing these up on the public desire website about a month or so, although these aren't the public desire ones, these are from Arc they're identical and I love them so much, they're a more masculine take on Chelsea boots and really give off doc Martin vibes, so up my street!
Make up
Make up is another thing which makes me extremely happy! My boyfriend treated me to a mac concealer and foundation which he actually gave me as an early christmas present so I have been using them for the last couple of weeks and I have been loving them.
I have wanted something from Pandora for so long, I've never been a fan of the rings, for the price they don't look that good quality, however, I am a fan of the bracelets so I got this lovely black rope inspired strap with the cutest charm saying 'family' and on the other side 'love'. I think a Pandora charm bracelet is something so nice to own because it gives an opportunity for gifts in the future because people can just buy you charms.
I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and got to spend it with all your loved ones, I am very grateful for everything I received I love absolutely everything! Bring on the new year!
