christmas day...

Christmas day - such a lovely day! Plenty of good food and wine, and fun times with family and friends.

Beautiful, beautiful gift from my husband - sterling silver key necklace from Kerry Rocks in Paddington. It looks just like an antique archive key and makes me feel like Mary from the Secret Garden.

Mmmm pink Moet - I think all Christmas drinks should be pink and bubbly, don't you agree?

Best. Gift. Ever. Way to keep the husband intrigued and irritated by turns.

My sister embarking on the mammoth task of un-moulding the mangomisu (mango tiramisu) she has created.

Clearly operation mangomisu was a raging success - sooooo yummy.

Happy holidays to all in blogland!

christmas morning - what I wore

♥ Dress by Forever New

♥ Tony Bianco flats

what I wore to work...

Its always nice to have a day when we aren't sitting in Court - I don't have to wear anything too formal, I can relax and experiment with colours.

My point-and-shoot sadly doesn't capture the gorgeous colours here very well - the top is a lovely blush colour, and the cardi a gorgeous shade of peony. I need a good DSLR! Santa! Please!

I LOVE that this skirt has pockets! I think it should be mandatory for all skirts to come with pockets.

Sadly the camera flash has made my bobbypins looks ridiculously shiny!

Couple of close-up shots of my (admittedly messy) braided 'do for Laura...

I was informed by the x-ray technician checking my neck (after my little accident last week) that I have "an unusually long neck" - wondering, do I in any way resemble a giraffe in this photo???

This is one of my favourite pairs of shoes - also one of the most uncomfortable I own, but still, just gorgeous, and worth the pain.

wild thing...

you make my heart sing...

Wore my hair in plaits today to work, of course when I unravelled it upon arriving home, this ^ was the result. I decided it made me look, and feel, a little bit WILD. (Excuse the shocking re-growth, it is being re-reddened in just a few weeks time!)

Felt like putting on some short shorts and dancing round like a wild thing, like a bit of an idiot to be honest. Had some good news on the job front this morning. I am not taking ANYTHING for granted, not until I see the ink dry on the contract, but cross your fingers for me people in blog-land! (And watch this space)

A little bit redneck, no? But in a good way I hope!

I am also in an extra-specially good mood this evening because I have just noticed that the lovely Rebecca from The Clothes Horse commented on my last post - she liked my outfit, AND my hair! This made my day - I think I have a serious case of blogger-hero-worship happening.
