Insta-Fortnight

Happy Saturday guys!

Time for another insta-fortnight, the post that gives you all a sneaky look into what I've been up to for the past two weeks. And boy, do I take a lot of photos!


Tea whilst waiting for my boyfriend to get his hair cut at Harris & Gibbs, The Jewellery Quarter


All packed and ready to go home for Christmas!


My mum and I made double chocolate cupcakes. It took us almost an hour... They were gone in less than a minute.


 A beautifully wrapped present if I do say so myself!



A little glimpse at the gorgeous Christmas lights in the Centre:MK. It's like standing in a fairytale!


I made Christmas tree cake-pops!




A very festive Covent Garden.




A few of my Christmas presents!! I'm a very lucky girl :-)


The hamper that I made for my best friend's Christmas present.

Contents : A bottle of mulled wine, Harvey Nichols earl grey teabags, Harvey Nichols licqourice toffee (she loves it.. don't worry, I don't understand either), Harvey Nichols strawberry & cream sweets, Harvey Nichols cranberry jam with burgundy, Harvey Nichols three fruit jam, Harvey Nichols White truffle mayonnaise, Cath Kidston mug, two champagne glasses and two shot glasses (Not pictured, they were wrapped in tissue paper to stop them getting damaged).


The giant lopsided Christmas tree in the churchyard by my house.



DOMINOSSSSSSSSSS!


Candy cane love heart! The multi-coloured one is Tropical flavoured and tastes unbelievable.






London for New Years Eve!!



Back in Birmingham : Pizza Express lunch with my bestie to catch up!



Today I went to Cheshire Oaks Designer Shopping Village. I had never been before and I'm undecided if it was as good as Bicester, but it was nice to spend some time with my boyfriend and grab a few designer goodies with a hefty discount at the same time!!


The pretty sky as we were leaving. Summer hurry up!

I hope you've all enjoyed having a look at my pictures, if you also post Insta-weeks or fortnights please leave me a link, I would love to see what you've been up to also!

Christmas!

Eeeek, it's that time of year again, the presents are getting wrapped, the advent calenders are slowly going down and the trees are going up. CHRISTMAS!

This is definitely my favourite time of the year, and this Saturday was no exception. The day started with a spot of Christmas shopping, before purchasing a brand new tree and fairy lights, digging out last years baubles and getting ready to put up the tree. I had the most perfect evening in, Chalet Girl on in the background with a Rekorderlig Winter Cider in one hand and copious amounts of wrapping paper and sellotape in the other.

As the days of December go on, the chocolate disappears from my advent calender and the presents mount up underneath the tree. 22 days to go!


 I got these brilliant embroidered stockings from a shop on eBay. They were a little smaller than I thought they would be - less room for stocking fillers :( - but nonetheless I think they're great. If anyone wants the link, please leave a comment below and I'll dig it out for you :)







Rekorderlig's winter cider is amazing! I would recommend it to anyone, I know they serve it warm in some bars but I'm not such a fan of warm drinks. If you're like me, pick up a bottle from your local supermarket and drink it chilled, it's like Christmas in a bottle.
