How was Christmas for you then? I think I may have finally conquered jet lag, after a week and a bit! I'm wasn't even on American time which is the crazy thing; sleeping from 6pm till 2am, like a milkman (noon till 8pm US time)

I got a nice selection of presents this year, did you get what you wanted/needed?

I also braved the shops yesterday to exchange an item and picked up a couple of nice things in the sale- HELLO KITTY LIBERTY 1/2 priced goods from Boots :D and a £10 parker from H&M

The benefits that the closest shops to the beach town I live in being a chavvy shopping centre= the nicer items are ignored by people who opt for Peter Andre perfume or x factor CDs :)

Have you been near the sales?

I built my dreams around you

Christmas kinda came in a flash this year! I've decided that next year I'm going to spend it away from family, because although I love my kin, it's such a stressful time and I don't feel I appreciate them. I'm going to book a trip to New York or Austria :D

While Christmas day is over, there's still 2 weeks left of seasonal parties and gluttonous lifestyle (the first week of January never counts in terms of enforcing new years resolutions) and Asda has a great range of party dresses available.

In Facebook times it's difficult coming up with enough outfits for every occasion, knowing pictures are likely to end up online but Asda have a good selection at affordable prices. I think a lot of their items are also transferable in terms of seasons as fabrics and patterns aren't particularly exclusive to one time of the year- something in the past I've found a problem; having tons of summery dresses but zero winter ones.

I got sent this one shoulder dress, which is unlike a lot of dresses I own but I really liked. I went for a 70s vibe outfit and worked it with my clogs and a satchel. I'm undecided about wearing it with the belt or not, what do ya think?

Check out George for more items :)
