Christmas Puddings

In a previous post I mentioned that I planned on making Christmas pudding rum balls as gifts for my family and friends. Here is the finished result....I'm very proud of my boyfriend and I, we slaved away like little elves in our kitchen.

Pretty Parcels

I love Christmas mostly because I can buy lovely things for people and engage in one of my favourite pastimes- giftwrapping. I don't know what it is about wrapping, but I adore it, from choosing the colour schemes, the gift tags, what materials to use to decorate the cards. I love the entire experience, since I was a little girl I always made handmade cards for everyone, each year was a different theme and colour.

This year I have decided to make Christmas pudding rumballs for everyone and package them in Kikki K bags and swing tags. I feel a little lazy about not creating my own tags, but since Kikki K came along I have found the gift wrapping experience all a little too breezy.

'Tis the season to be girly

The festive season is a fantastic time to be a girl. So many opportunities to frock up and be feminine. I attended a Christmas gathering last night and had planned to wear this beautifully floaty Country Road dress, alas being a girl I changed at the last minute. This image is so Lola....lilac, frills and effortlessly chic.
