  • Christmas Tag!

    Christmas tag header
    So the lovely Amy from PaintPotted has done a little Christmas tag on her blog so I thought I’d take it on!
    1. What’s your favourite thing about Christmas?
    Wrapping up warm and spending time in Christmas markets drinking mulled wine or coffee listening to carols.

    2. What is your favourite make up look for the festive season?
    Smokey eyes for nights out and as natural as possible during the day to brace the winter winds.

    3. Real tree or fake tree?
    Would love a real tree one day, but I get all nostalgic getting our fake Christmas tree out at home – we’ve had it since I was a baby :)

    4. Giving presents or receiving presents?
    Giving! I feel less guilty shopping if it’s for other people lol

    5. Do you open presents Christmas morning or eve/evening?
    Christmas morning. But it’s traditional to do it on Christmas Eve when I’m home in the Philippines.

    6. Handmade cards or bought?
    Handmade, though I don’t ever have time to make them =(

    7. What is your favourite Christmas film?
    Either Elf or…nope there is no or…Elf!

    8. What’s your favourite Christmas food?
    Turkey!

    9. What’s your favourite Christmas song?
    Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses, or Fairytale of New York by The Pogues

    10. What’s your favourite Christmas memory?
    Last year’s was pretty good. My family had a tough couple of months and we spent the day at a family friend’s house eating ourselves into a food coma, just enjoying each other’s company before a nice quiet night with Dr Who on the TV and lots of chocolate. Nothing quite like the Christmas with the people you love most.

    IT’S NEARLY CHRISTMAS! WEEEEE! Feel free to do the tag yourselves, just make sure you credit Amy too! 

    Keep on wishing…

  • LINKS À LA MODE: THE IFB WEEKLY ROUND UP: NOVEMBER 1ST

    Got a lovely mention in last week’s Links A La Mode. Thanks to the IFB team for featuring me! xoxo
    ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

    Happy Halloween!
    Edited By: Taylor Davies I want to start this week’s Links a la Mode by very quickly and briefly sending out thoughts and prayers to those most severely affected by Superstorm Sandy. We had a lot of great submissions this week, many of them Halloween themed! From Beetlejuice pants to costumes a la Anna Wintour and Victoria Beckham, and appropriately dark black lace. We also had some very thoughtful, introspective posts on the self, personal style and a blogger donating her hair to locks of love.

  • The “Mini” Coveteurs | The Coveteurs’ Blog Relaunch Viral Video

    A quick one but a good one, and very much in the spirit of Halloween dressing up and having fun. A favourite blog of mine The Coveteur, known best for their inside look at some of the most enviable closets and homes in the world, have relaunched their site with a new look. 
    To celebrate the launch it’s shot a pretty awesome viral video of ‘The Coveteur Relaunch Party’. Though taste makers such as Lagerfeld, Anna De La Russo and Kim&Kanye all feature in the video, there’s a cool twist! 
    The whole video has little kids taking on the roles of the fashion elite – even fellow fashion bloggers BryanBoy and Susie ‘Style Bubble’ are featured in miniature form. 
    This takes fashion satire to adorable heights and make sure you watch the ending! 
    Keep on wishing…
