Happy Christmas Eve!!! Aren’t you feeling Christmassy this cosy evening? Before I begin…..

I just wanna wish you all a Merry Christmas! Whether you're celebrating it with family, friends, loved ones or by yourself, from my family to you, have a great Christmas! Best wishes, Aoife xx

I’ve seen this Tag bouncing around on other blogger’s site’s and I thought I’d give it a go! We’re coming to the end of Blogmas and before I write my last post, I wanted to do something a little more relaxing. Anyway, I’ll get on with the questions!

What is your favourite Christmas song?

Mariah Carey all the way!! All I want for Christmas is my go-to Christmas song. It gets me in the mood every time!

What’s your favourite Christmas film?

I love watching the rubbish Christmas films!! You know the really cheesy, often low budget, cringe films. With really bad actors that are usually shown on Channel 5 or Netflix. Like the romantic ones that sometimes have princes involved. You know those ones? Those- I love them!

What’s your dream place to visit for the holiday season?

I’d love to experience Christmas in Australia! Or somewhere hot. Everyone will be relaxed and you wouldn’t have to worry about being freezing!

But I’d also like to celebrate it somewhere in the Alps with log cabins, snow, UGG boots and cosy jumpers.

Have you ever had a white Christmas?

Not that I know off. But it sounds amazing though!

Is your tree real or fake?

Fake! All the way! Whilst I love the idea of having a real tree and bringing nature into your home for the festive period. I could not cope with all the needles and bald necks. I might get one in the future but for now, I’m perfectly happy looking at my fake one.

What’s your favourite colour combination of Christmas decorations?

There’s a lot of reds and golds around my house. They compliment the green and go with the interior decor at home.

Does your family have any Christmas Traditions?

We only have one and that falls on Christmas Eve. Before the actual day, me and my Brother always have a bath or shower so we go to bed squeaky clean ready for Santa to drop his gifts during the night. I’m sure that was a trick by my parents to make sure we washed more but it’s stuck. And I think the idea’s cute!

What time do you wake up on Christmas Day?

It varies every year but usually between 8 at the earliest or 10 at the very latest.

Favourite part of Christmas dinner?

Umm…. Pigs in Blankets, obvs!

What is your favourite Christmas drink?

I love a good cup of Cocoa! It has to be Cadbury’s original hot chocolate- the one that comes in the purple tub. Yes, that one!!

What is your Christmas Day Fashion?

The first half is spent in PJ’s. Unwrapping presents, eating breakfast etc. Then it’s time to get ready. I usually wear an occasion dress to make things feel special. 

Do you open your presents before or after dinner?

Before! I mean who’s prepared to wait when there are wrapped gifts under the tree It’s the first thing we do when we come down. 

Can you name all of Santa’s Reindeer? 

Not really, I know there’s Rudolph. I could attempt the rest but I’ll probably end up embarrassing myself.

What makes the holidays special for you?

I think it’s that the whole family comes together. It’s the one time you can guarantee that the whole family will be able to spend more than six hours together! I love that everyone comes together, family, friends, even people you don’t often talk to. It’s the season to show love and be kind to one another. To show you care. It’s a beautiful season. 


Well if you got to the bottom, well done! I hope you enjoyed this little post because I certainly liked answering all of them.

Merry Christmas,

Dare I ask the question- have you started present shopping yet? Getting your Christmas present shopping done early is the best thing as you can be nice and relaxed by the time Christmas Day comes along. The key to a great Christmas gift is that it’s heartfelt and there was thought put into it.

Being obsessed with everything fashion, beauty and lifestyle, it made sense that I put together a wishlist of my top picks for what to get for Christmas. My edit includes a few must-haves for any fashion lover and those interested in Style, Beauty and personal appearance.

Books

Apologies for the colours, having issues with backgrounds in my uni room
How to be a Parisian- I have been obsessed with everything French lately. They just do everything better from romance to fashion to skincare. How to be a Parisian is a book written by a group of French women who write about every aspect of life. This is definitely one of those of books that anyone interested in Lifestyle would love and for those interested in French living.

Love x Style x LifeGarance Dore - This is definitely on my wishlist for Christmas. I’m going to say it’s somewhat similar to How to be a Parisian as it’s like a guide that takes you through different parts with personal stories weaved in. Nicknamed the French Grace Coddington, this book is guaranteed to set hearts racing and provide an insightful guide to the life of a fashion blogger.

Inside Vogue, Alexandra Shulman- For those who have ever wondered what being the editor at Vogue is like, this book is one for you. It’s a diary by the fabulous and former editor Alexandra Shulman taking the reader through the centenary year. She talks about the Fashion Weeks and Designers to the business of running a magazine and all the work behind the scenes. This book is not only perfect for those interested in fashion but also those interested in magazine journalism too.

The Bare Essentials, Tracy Martin- The perfect stocking filler! For anyone with a love of lingerie and the relationship we have with it, this book is perfect. It’s a short and sweet little book examining the history and how underwear has evolved through the years.

Films

Confessions of a Shopaholic- For all my shopaholics out there, this is your film! It’s the perfect girls night in film or for when you just need a good laugh. Based on Sophie Kinsella’s novel, Confessions of a Shopaholic (you should read that too), the film featuring Isla Fisher is perfect for anyone obsessed with fashion and shopping. The laugh out loud comedy is full of clothes, shopping and more clothes! A dream, right?

Sex and The City- Friends, Fashion, Manhatten and Sex! The perfect combination. The Sex and the City series and films are a must see!

Devil Wears Prada- Nothing beats a Meryl Streep film especially when she's playing Miranda Priestly. Featuring Anne Hathaway, this film makes the list of films you have to watch at least once and know about.

If you're looking to spend a little more cash, a Jo Malone candle, like this one, is the perfect gift! It smells heavenly and is loved by everyone!

It's a short little edit but those are just a few ideas of what you can get a fashion/ beauty/ lifestyle obsessed fanatic. Some of them I even have on my own wish list!

Love, Aoife x
