This Christmas I will be wearing a mixture of black, golds and reds to get me into that festive spirit. Tonight I’m wearing a collared sleeveless shirt from warehouse with christmasy beading on the collar. I’ve been watching the high street and put together a collage of my favourite Christmas party picks :).

If your anything like me then your not at all prepared for Christmas. Christmas shopping is like a epic event that divides the weak from the strong and mighty. Some like to prepare months in advance. I prefer to do it last minute like many other things in my life, university course work included. But the main thing is not to panic. As it is now less than 10days till Christmas with a strong chance of snow, I will not be Internet shopping unless its next day delivery.

I enjoy going shopping, that way I get to try on all the stuff on my own Christmas list! Plus there is something satisfying about getting the presents in your hands straight away, while lowering the risk the person who the present is intended for will get handed it by the postman. Of course for you overly prepared people who were gift buying in January 2011 you have the upside of surprise. But I have the benefit of the sales.
