christmas eve

I had a really really lovely Christmas this year, although most of it ended up being spent traveling between the houses of different relatives. This was the outfit that I wore on Christmas eve, which I spent with my dad and my little brother (the cutest boy I know).

My favourite summer-appropriate sweater from the Sonia Rykiel for H&M collection.

My new sequin-covered gold skirt by Sass, which made me feel like a Christmas ornament in the best way possible (not that there's a bad way to feel like a Christmas ornament, in my opinion).

And my new favourite shoes, found in a strange Chinese shoe store in Sydney. They have little one-inch heels which are perfect for me because I don't end up wobbling all over the place or looking ridiculously tall.

I hope you had a lovely Christmas!

a very merry christmas

One of my absolute favourite things about Christmas is the decorations. I like them so much that some of them end up staying all through the year. Here you can see a picture I posted a while ago of my mini christmas tree which never really leaves my bookshelf. 

My boyfriend and I saw this tree in a shop window a few days ago with a big 50% off sign hanging off it. We loved it so much that, even though it was completely impractical (we already have a tree in my house so this one sits in the middle of my not-so-spacious bedroom) and very expensive, we just had to have it. It makes me so happy.

Clearly I'm a sucker for cute things, and one of the cutest things I can think of is miniature sweaters. When I found out that they were selling tiny Christmas sweaters on tiny coat hangers, I nearly died. I have eight little santa coats scattered around my room, as well as a beautiful knitted sweater.
