Getting into the Holiday Spirit $

Hey girlies,

Boohoo I am at home sick today :( Came down with a dry tickly cough a few days ago and immediately stocked up on medicine to try to beat it, but I failed. Feeling rightly miserable today so am warm in bed entertaining myself with cosy Christmas movies! They are getting me all in the holiday spirit so thought I'd share my favourite romantic Christmas films: 

Love Actually (2004)

Massive star studded cast! The story begins five weeks before Christmas and follows the lives of ten different couples or individuals through the events of their lives and romantic misadventures up until Christmas Day. 

Just adore everything about this movie and cant count how many times I have seen it on both hands! 

The above is definitely one of my favourite scenes in the film ♥ Super cute!

The Holiday (2006)

Two career women in different countries, Amanda (Diaz) and Iris (Winslet), need a break from their lives and swap homes for the holidays through a home exchange website. Hoping the change of scenery will help them forget the men who have disappointed them, they unexpectedly find that a little Christmas magic fills their holiday escape with new romance.

While you were sleeping (1995)

In this romantic comedy, Lucy (Bullock) has a boring life as a fare collector with a crush on a man she sees daily on the Chicago railway. On Christmas day she saves him after a mugging that lands him in the path of an oncoming train. Lucy ends up at the hospital and is mistaken for his fiancé. Things snowball and she gets to know his family, including his brother Jack (Pullman), who doesn’t believe she is his brother’s fiancé. Old school but Sandra is just adorable in this movie!

Four Christmases (2008)

When upscale, happily unmarried San Francisco couple Kate (Reese Witherspoon) and Brad (Vince Vaughn) find themselves socked in by fog on Christmas morning, their exotic vacation plans morph into the family-centric holiday they had, until now, gleefully avoided. Vince just cracks me up in this film,  to the point of getting tears of laugher at some scenes :p

What are some of your favourite Christmas films?? xoxo

I love Natalie Portman, she is just so beautiful and a fantastic actress at that!
Have a fabulous day xoxo

Glamour-ous Savile Row NOTD

When I was traveling to Holland in early December, I picked up some in-flight reading entertainment in the form of Glamour's December issue. Lucky for me it also came with a FREE nail Polish!

There was a choice of 4 polishes by Nails Inc:

L to R: Hampstead Heath, Warwick Street, Savile Row & Jermyn Street
Nails Inc polishes are usually priced between £11-£15, so getting one for free was quite the bargain!

My copy of Glamour magazine came with Savile Row, which is a deep glossy plum nail polish.

This is my first experience with Nail Inc polishes. I ♥ this super chic shade - it's perfect for the winter months! The formulation of the polish however was a little thick for my liking making it tricky to apply easily. This NOTD was after applying two coats (and a little tidying up with my nail polish remover pen)

UK Ladies: you might still be able to get a copy of the December issue to score your free Nails Inc polish :) xoxo

My Christmassy Chocolate Sunday!

Hey everyone!

Hope you are having a nice weekend? I have loved the weather this weekend, not so freezing for a change YAY :) I enjoyed a lovely Christmas lunch with my London flatties this afternoon in Clapham and just wanted the share a photo of my AMAZING dessert! Chocolate Fondant is my all time favourite dessert and as soon as I see this on a menu I just can't resist......I mean check out the gooey chocolate coming out of this baby, ahhhh.....Nom nom :)

Besides dessert we had a delicious dinner with wine, presents and of course Christmas crackers! Christmas isn't complete without them right?! Check out the lame joke in mine ;)

After lunch I decided to go shopping for Christmas presents. Did I buy anything? Yes. For anyone else than me? Ummm.....No! LOL I was naughty and got myself something that's been on my wish list for ages!
