Spoilt Bunny & Merry Christmas!

Hello all and merry Christmas I hope you all had a fine one indeed, I know I did filled to the brim with Christmas food, alcohol and family fun. I know I've been slightly scarce on posts this past month but with the run up to Christmas I just haven't had the time what with finding and buying presents, wrapping them up and then giving them. Not to mention college and work, lets say it all got a little hectic.

However on to the fun stuff, I like many other people got rather spoiled this Christmas, with many things I just wasn't expecting which is always lovely. So here is a little post just to show you all what I got. (This is in no way shape or form boasting of what I received  I just like to see this kind of posts and I hope you do too.) Bearing in mind I have 2 families and a lovely boyfriend to receive from. 
First off, my Soap & Glory collection. Just look at it! Most of this I received out of the big £60 gift set (reduced to £27) I received off my lovely boyfriend and the other bits and bobs of family members. It all smells so amazing, I can't wait to try everything out.
Bits and bobs here included a gorgeous hand stitched journal from Paperchase (I've been lusting them all year long!) an egg cup thing filled with bath bombs, lip balms and a really nice smelling Lush set which was a lovely surprise. 
Being the bookworm I am I got bought quite a few books as well as 1-4 seasons of The Big Bang Theory as well as a ton of chocolate like always. Since going up in bra sizes I got some gorgeous bra's bought from Debenhams and a really nice studded black biker jacket. 

As you can see I'm a spoilt but very happy little bunny. Also I got given money of other various relatives and also my gorgeous Galaxy Tablet in white from my dad. And in return everyone got a well loved present from me. On Christmas day we all had a rather big surprise before starting our meal, my mums boyfriend of nearly 4 years got down on one knee and proposed to her, which I think was terribly romantic!

The new year is rolling around so quick too! The idea of 2013 is ever so scary, my 2nd year of college, turning 18 and my boyfriend turning 20 and our year anniversary eek! I haven't even had chance for my own little spending spree in the sales, which I think will be on today's agenda and then I'll be spending the eve with my boyfriend and a few vodka redbulls. With the new year will come new posts and inspiration, I mean I have all these wonderful products to review! I also hit 150 followers while I was away, thank you to all you wonderful bloggers! Hopefully in the near future there'll be a giveaway!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and an even better New Year! :)

The Power of the Tablet!

I remember when the iPad's were released and I wanted one, so badly. I have always really loved the idea of having a tablet, sure a laptop is good but when I'm at college having a tablet would be rather handy, especially when I need a computer and there's absolutely none of them free. So this is what's on my Christmas list this year. 
This tablet either comes with a 10.1" screen with 16G of memory or a 7" screen with 8G of memory. Don't they look gorgeous?

The 10.1" screen tab at £238 is an absolute bargain with 16G of memory and a memory card slot for extra memory. It's on an Android software with the Google Play store. It looks absolutely huge in that picture and you can get it in white which is an added bonus. Really, what I want it for is obviously searching the web, blogging and all sorts but also the bigger screen allows me to use it for college comfortably when typing up work or researching because I don't have to hunt down a computer. While the 7" tab is much cheaper at £158 it's also got a much smaller memory at 8G and a smaller screen, not so good. Also I love the idea of a tablet, much like a computer apart from you don't have to wait for it to boot up and what not. I feel that this type of quality at this price is a sure bargain. Plus I love the fact I'll be able to curl up in bed with it and read my books, play games or chat to people. Also the next best thing is that I can get my Kindle on there with all of my books, perfect!

I obviously have other smaller things on my Christmas list but this is my 'big' present that I'm hopefully going to go and get tomorrow!

Would you ever get a tablet?

The Perfect Party Dress

Now all girls want the perfect party dress with the shoes to match, I know I do. So here is a small collection of a few my favourite dresses I've seen recently. Bearing in mind Christmas is coming up and I would love a new dress for Christmas Day and New Years Eve. I feel as if some of these are perfect. My favourite out of these has to be the first one with the lace arms which I've fallen in love with or the black and white polka dot one simply because of the lace collar. I would willing wear any of these dresses over the Christmas period as they are all gorgeous. I've been a big lover of boots this winter and these one from Topshop are absolutely to die for, I just wish they wasn't £95 (!!), maybe Santa will bring them. I also really liked the spiked wedges, I've never worn wedges however these ones would look lovely with any of the dresses. Most of these outfits I would pair with simple eye makeup and bright lips.

Despite most of these items being way out of my price range they are incredibly gorgeous. Do you have any favourites?
