Christmas day OOTD- Blogmas day 23

Good afternoon!

I can't believe how close we are to Christmas! In the words of the Grinch, 'It's practically here!, and I couldn't be more excited! I have been out shopping lots recently trying to pick up some last minute gifts. I have also been on the hunt for a pair of sparkly tights that I can wear on Christmas day. You know when you have an outfit planned in your mind but can't find all the individual components to make up the look? yeah that happened. But I finally found them! This whole outfit came under £25 as well which is perfect! Let me know what you think of this look! 

So these are the tights that I got from H&M for £7.99. I have literally been in the hunt for these for a couple of weeks now! I found these last week but then every H&M I went into they didn't have them in my size! So frustrating! But eventually I found them and I can't wait to wear them. 

 I have had my eye on this playsuit in Topshop for a couple of years now. They had a similar one last year in Black and Burgundy. I was never brave enough to invest £48 for one garment but after spotting this in the sale for £10 I knew I had to try it on. There was something different about this. I wouldn't have usually chosen such a daring colour, or even such a plunging neckline BUT it made me feel really special so I knew I had to get it! The back has a lovely lace design which is extremely flattering. The Lime colour also looks nice against my pale skin tone.

Finally I needed a plain black cardigan to finish off the outfit. I got this from primark for £8 and is a plain cardi with a scalloped edge. Its super soft and for primark is great quality! 

I hope you enjoyed this blogpost! 

I know that this outfit is a little different, but I am trying to go out of my comfort zone a little bit when it comes to putting together different outfits! 

Let me know what you think! 

Lots of love, 

Yankee Candles galore!

So I may have gone a little crazy in the past few weeks regarding a certain brand of candles...

So in my defence they were on a crazy discount which I feel makes it totally acceptable! 

So the candles in question..

Summer Scoop £0.84p each - I picked this candle up a couple of weeks ago in House of Fraser at my local shopping centre. The candle smells like strawberry ice cream and when its being burnt it lets off a sweet shop scent! (Which I totally love). I also picked up this cute butterfly bowl to place my candles in. This was also on a HUGE discount and I got it for £1.80. 

Sicilian Lemon £1.00 - This candle smells really fresh and 'clean' when being burnt. I bought this for my bedroom to go with my Summer Scoop candle and they go so nicely together! This candle reminds me so much of being on holiday which I love!

(This is how the candles look currently on the plate in my bedroom. I love the way that this is arranged)

Candy Corn £8.49 - This candle was bought at a huge discount! I got it from an outlet shopping centre and have looked online to buy this again but can't get hold of it anywhere! The candle smells a mixture of popcorn and candy. It is a perfect Halloween themed candle, hence the image on the glass. It really makes the room smell so sweet and it is currently sitting in my kitchen ready for october! 

Camomille tea and Red Berry and Cider £8.49 each - Both of these candles were bought as presents for family friends for christmas. The Camomile tea reminds me so much of my grandparents house as it has such a sweet and clean scented smell. Red Berry and Cider pretty much sums up the scent of christmas for me. We always get a real christmas tree and the decorations sometimes have a scent within them that makes the tree smell nice. This is what the candle smells like. I love the bright red of the candle also as it gives off a really 'wintery' feeling whenever I see it!

Hope you enjoyed this first 'lifestyle' post. I love buying candles as they can really set up a mood! Let me know what candles I should be getting next time I am out!
