1 Week Till Christmas

With one week until the big day, and time running slowly out of our hands the last minute Christmas rush has begun. I have to be honest, as much as I love working for Topshop/Topman Christmas is the most horrid time to work in any shop, with ever increasing amounts of customers and late night shifts it really does make me forget that Christmas is even here. Thats why I feel so lucky to have got away to go to Amsterdam for 5 days at the beginning of December (as many of you already know!) it put me in such a christmassy mood. Amsterdam is a beautiful city anyway, but with the Christmas lights its made everything look so much prettier. 

I wasn't really planning on doing ANOTHER post about Amsterdam so to those of you who are getting bored hearing about it... I apologise. I just wanted to share with you some of my christmassy photos that I took while I was over there, after all I took a lot of them so wouldn't want them to go to waste. 

I'd love to know if any of you have been to Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park in London, and what you thought of it. I've heard so much about it and was gutted I couldn't fit time in to go last Christmas, so I've booked to go just after Christmas on the 30th of December. I've booked a hotel for the night with my boyfriend as well as were going to hit the sales while were there!

Your thoughts as always, please.
Thank you

Christmas Wish List #2

As Christmas is fast approaching with less than 10 days to go my Christmas wish list is forever increasing (click here to see my first Christmas wish list.) As many of you may know I work for Topshop and Topman so every time I go into work its just irresistible to not look at the gorgeous clothes and find something else I want. My mum always jokes that they should pay me in clothes as I just buy so much from there! 
I'm also a massive fan of Topshop.com, they have so many more beautiful things on there than you find in the stores. I'm sure it won't come to a surprise to any of you that majority of my wish list this time is from Topshop, intact all of it is from Topshop, its all quite dark and grudgey too. 

As for my Christmas shopping for family and friends, its all DONE! Wahoo! Such a big weight off my shoulder and plenty more time to shop for myself! Although I really don't have that many people to buy for the stress is equally the same. I've brought my sister a mixture of things from Mac, Topshop and Lush, my Boyfriend some Diesel aftershave, CK boxers and some things from Topman, my Grandparents a selection of goodies from Carluccio's. And I splashed out this year on my parents and brought them both tickets to see Robbie Williams in concert at Wembley in June (defiantly wish I was going instead!)

Would love to see any of your Christmas wish lists or what you have brought for family/friends. Your thoughts as always please.

Amsterdam in Outfits.

As promised here is my post featuring what I wore in Amsterdam. I've finally uploaded my photos on to my mac! I'm sure in my photos it looks like I was wearing the same thing virtually all the time, but I did pack mega lightly and have to wrap up warm so my outfits aren't amazingly interesting. You can see the theme of headwear is pretty strong throughout all my outfit choices.... right now I am loving hats, head bands and headscarfs! My new bowler hat in particular has hardly left my head! Its the one I put on my Christmas Wishlist (click here to view) so glad I treated myself to it, as its been worth every penny!

All the same, I'd love to hear your thoughts please.

Thank you

Back to Routine

Hello all! 
I'm back! My plane landed last night in Bristol at 10ish, and I'm telling you now work at 9 this morning today was a struggle. Seriously lacking energy and needing sleep... However I had the most amazing time. 5 days went so so quickly, and I want to go back! Amsterdam is such a beautiful city, beyond the tourists, red light district and canabis cafes the city really does have its own culture. The architecture and history of Amsterdam is incredible. 
I haven't had a chance to upload the photos from my camera yet, so all of my photos are going to be off my phone/instagram, but I will upload camera photos soon.

I visited the Anne Frank museum which is actually in the old house of where Anne Frank and her family were in hiding. It was so interesting to visualise and imagine how they lived there for over 2 years in that exact building which today people travel from all over the world to visit. I'm not a massive history buff but its something which defiantly is worth a visit if you are paying a visit to Amsterdam. I also went to the Van Gogh museum, the famous Amsterdam flower market and the 'Iamsterdam' landmark. I also payed a visit to the famous 'giant chess board' and the Hard Rock Cafe.

I was also so lucky that is snowed while I was there! On the Friday I woke up with the view of snow falling out of my hotel window. It was so beautiful and Christmasy! As you can imagine that day it was freeeeezing, so my hat, gloves and scarf all came in dead handy.

Sorry this has been a short post, I'm going to do some more this week all about Christmas in Amsterdam, My outfits and Swedish House Mafia (obviously...the main reason I went to Amsterdam!)

Let me know what you think so far. Would also love to know is any of you have been to Amsterdam and what you thought.

Until next time.....

Power of the Flower

For those of you who read my 'Cheeky trip to Amsterdam' post (click here to view) you will know that I am jetting of to Amsterdam on Thursday. I am beyond excited! I've started packing my suitcase already... AND its snowing over there at the moment! 

I personally think Europeans do Christmas better than us brits, with traditional Christmas markets and proper decorations. I can tell after my short trip away I'm going to come back in my element of the Christmas spirit. 

While I'm there I'm also seeing Swedish House Mafia on the 7th of December, I got a conformation email through the other day about support acts, how to get there, dress code etc. For me its a big thing... WHAT DO I WEAR?!?!?! (suggestions please!!) There going to be filming high lights for their new video so obviously I want to look the part if I'm lucky enough to get caught on camera. I have these black and white striped Topshop shorts I thought I'd team with my leather jacket and boots, but the only thing is that I'm going to be freezing walking there but hot in there... decisions decisions! 

Sorry this post wasn't actually going to be about Amsterdam, but its just all thats on my mind right now! I have been meaning to do an outfit post all week.... so here you go!

Blazer - Topshop

Shirt - H&M

Jumper - Topshop

Jeans - Primark

Collar - Topshop

Nail Varnish - Rimmel, Barry M

I'm going to be doing a post about these nails within the next week so stay tuned to find out how I did it. 

This is the last post before I head to Amsterdam, I'm back on Monday (10th Dec) so I'll definitely do a post of the Tuesday letting you know all about my trip!

Have an amazing weekend (can't believe I'm saying this and its only Tuesday...crazy!)

Thoughts and comments please :) Also I would love to check out some new blogs so post a link and I'll check them out, Thank you.
