Dear Santa

Dear Santa,

I've been a good girl this year. I donated money to charity and have been super polite to telephone cold callers, I also managed to not forget any birthdays, which is kind of amazing for me! If you're not too busy here is what I'd like to find under my tree this Christmas.

Something I Want
So I would have said that Urban Decay Naked Vault, however it sold out super quick and apparently there were only 60 on sale at Selfridges! I mean that's going to sell out in about 2 seconds! So instead I'll say a swish MacBook Air. My Laptop has died a death and I think my brother might want his back sometime soon, possibly when I move out and want to take it with me. So this would be amazingly helpful!

Something I Need
GHD's, My straighteners broke probably about a year ago now, my dad managed to cut out a faulty piece of wire and fixed them but they don't heat up properly anymore and I'm finding it really difficult to pretty much do anything with my hair, so this really is something I need. It's just one of those things I've never gotten round to buying and it's probably about time my hair looked semi-decent again!

Something to Wear
I've already featured this coat in my Women's Christmas Gift Guide and it's definitely on my wish list too! I find it so hard putting those posts together, you're obviously going to pick things that you like and it just makes you want them all! Not good for my bank account. I did manage to resist temptation but would very much still like this coat. It looks so warm and I just think it would go with every outfit, smart or casual.

 

Something to Read

Pretty Honest: The Straight-talking Beauty Companion by Sali Hughes £11 Hardback Cover from Amazon. I have a sneaky feeling that this one is actually wrapped up somewhere with my name on it (Ok, I know it is. Can't wait to read this, I'm pretty sure I'll be finished by the end of Boxing Day.

It would be ever so nice of you to deliver these lovelies to me, I'll make sure to leave a carrot for Rudolph and a glass of sherry and minced pie for you!

Love Cece x

Obviously I'm not going to get all of these things for Christmas but a girl can dream right?! What's on your dream Christmas wish list?

Christmas Decoration Wishlist

Having just bought my first home, this year's Christmas Shopping is especially exciting for me. I have already been and bought some stuff which you can find in my Winter Homeware Haul and below I've picked out a few things that I would love to have pride of place in my home (once funds allow!), I hope you find some Christmas inspiration from it!

1) Christmas Wall Art - £12.00 Next
Believe in Santa? Like there's an alternative?! This Christmas Wall Art is just too cute and would go perfectly in my new kitchen!

2) Woven Wood Star Tree Topper - £4.00 Wilkinsons
So this one I can probably make a reality, very reasonably priced and perfect for my gold, bronze and brown colour scheme!

3) Christmas Wreath - £14.99 Tesco
My Mam puts a Christmas wreath on our front door every year. It's a tradition I want to continue in my own home and I really like the look of this one. I think having outdoor decorations really brings the festive spirit to your neighbourhood and as Christmas lights can be expensive to maintain, a simple wreath is perfect for that Christmassy touch.

4) 6ft Deluxe Christmas Tree - £200 Next
Ok, so this doesn't have the cheapest price tag, but it says deluxe for a reason! For now I have a temporary cheaper tree but eventually I'd love one like this! It's 6ft tall and very realistic looking (without having to deal with those pine needles and potential spider invasions!) It's a really full looking tree, but will unfortunately have to stay on the wish list until at least next year.

5) Gold Effect Glass Baubles - £25.00 M&S
I want my main Christmas Tree in my living room to be gold, bronze and brown. I can toss in some red elsewhere! These are gorgeous baubles they're very luxurious and I'd love to add them to my collection.

6) Personalised Christmas Stocking - £35.00 Not on the Highstreet
This is the cutest stocking for adults, I'm definitely going to hang one from my fireplace. I love the red Scandinavian design to this and to have my name knitted on the top? Bonus!

7) Decorative White Twig Tree - £20.00 Hobbycraft
My Auntie bought one of these last year and decorated it with lots of little baubles, it's such a cute modern twist to the Christmas tree (although she had one of those too & so would I!). It's a great way to bring some extra colour to a room that you don't have your main tree in!

8) Christmas Frosted Pine Candle - £15.00 John Lewis
This decorative scented candle is the perfect Christmas table accompaniment, ideally three placed along my table runner! With 15 hours burn time they'd see me well throughout the Christmas period.

9) Christmas Musical Train Set - £29.99 The Range
I've always wanted a little train set that runs around the bottom of my Christmas tree. This one from the range lights up and plays music. The perfect festive addition to my tree!

What's on your wishlist this year? Have you bought any special decorations for Christmas?
