Well, I survived Ikea yesterday, I think it took us longer to get in to the place than it did to get around it, and I got what I wanted, which was some cheap white plates and bowls for ceramic painting.
The Cath Kidston sale was awesome, although I ended up buying full price stuff! There was so much I wanted that it was easier to resist the sale altogether, really.
I ended up with egg cups (which match my plate and bowl)
And this sweet little purse. I was orignially going to get the blue version, which was in the sale, but loved this colour more.
If your a fan of Cath Kidston (and have more money than I do) get yourself down there!
Today’s outfit is a bit of a random combination, but it’s warm, comfortable and I’m past caring what I look like for now!
I look so dumpy without shoes on, haha. Oh dear.
This is my winter coat which was my main Christmas gift from my parents. The photo does it no justice at all, but it’s no longer on the M&S website so I can’t show you how it’s supposed to look! The material is fine cord and it’s just so warm, without being bulky.
I’m also wearing this charming bangle, of which my Mum has matching. It’s her favourite quote ever and means a lot to the both of us.
What are everyone’s New Years plans? I’ll probably stay in (just for a change) with my parents and brother, unless anyone wants to invite me to their wild party! I can’t afford pubs and clubs, especially not on NYE!

The bangle is so cute, I love it!
i LOVE that bangle and the quote xx
Can’t wait to see what you’ll do with the bowls and plates.
The egg cups are adorable!
Somehow I am not in the mood for New Year’s Eve at all. I just wanna stay in watch some tv and go to bed when the fireworks are done really. Oh well, I might still enjoy it once it’s there;)
I am sure the coat is amazing. And I would love to see more pictures of it.
Oh and the purse is adorable. I don´t really know the brand, we don´t have it here in Portugal, but it seems amazing.

I’m not doing much for New Years Eve either.

Dumpy my backside! I love that bangle, its a fab quote.
For New Years i’m having a total change and staying in with Phil and Seb, i have a nice bottle of wine to drink to myself as its Phils turn not to drink 🙂 x
Dumpy? No! Love the mismatched outfit and the coat looks ultra chic and fits like a dream.
Our New Year’s Eve gathering at our house involves a variety of home made curries, nibbles, copious amounts of wine and foolish party games, that’s if Jon gets rid of his Man flu. xxx
Pretty coat and bangle 😀
