The Glueless Scr4pbook.

So just a few photos of what I wore and what I used to get ready, and then a few of the yummy food.

We also did secret Santa as part of our Christmas party and whoever picked me (i still haven't figured it out yet... I know it's supposed to be secret) must know me really well because I got a lipgloss I had been eyeing up in the cosmetics section and a giant Hello Kitty bubble bath, I was so happy.

Apologies for the poor picture quality on some photos, they were taken from my phone.

As I have written about previously, I always pick a theme for my wrapping as I like it to look different to all the others so I very rarely use the standard 'Christmassy' paper that are usually everywhere at this time of year. I was a bit boring this year however and decided to go with last years theme because it was so cute and I simply couldn't think of another idea. The theme is just brown parcel paper with multi coloured ribbons and bows but it looks so nice in the end.

I managed to get most of it done so I was pretty pleased with myself. I just need to grab a few cute gift boxes for the smaller stuff that I cannot wrap.

So here's the photos of the whole process.

I've gone for basic thick black leggings from Topshop, a longline black oversized top with lace panelling (Warehouse) and my fluffy black angora cardigan (Trend by H&M).

The Fur stole is from Zara (29.99 this season), the faux leather tote is from Topshop (39.99 A/W 2012) and the studded faux suede loafers are from Zara (19.99 A/W 2012).

Taking my new reading material to work with me today, ELLE UK January 2014 and In Style UK January 2014. Fashion fix sorted for the rest of the week.

Mainly beauty bits, just a few of the products I use daily that had run out... M.A.C pro concealer, M.A.C select cover up concealer, I also picked up my (free) M.A.C lipstick in "Creme Cup" via the back-to-MAC scheme (if you take back 6 empty containers, they recycle the packaging and give  you a free lipstick of your choice) and lastly a second bottle of my beautifully scented Chanel nail polish remover ( I have done a review on this product already).

I also picked up a really cute little make up bag in Urban Outfitters, it's very kitch and retro which are two of my favourite things, also it's pink, so naturally I had to get it.

I was returning something at work (H&M) the other day and I spotted an iPhone case in the kidswear section (God knows) but it had to be mine, only £3.99. Bargain.

And last but not least I got a steal on the Thierry Mugler perfume Alien, which I LOVE! One of my friends used to wear it all the time and I wasn't that keen but now I am obsessed, it's really strong so you only have to use a bit which means it will last ages too.
