Today is a gift, that's why it's called the present.

Hey everybody, hope you've all had a lovely Christmas! I've eaten waaay too much turkey I may in fact start sprouting feathers
(you know with the whole 'you are what you eat thing'... nope? ok never mind)



I thought I'd show you some of the presents I got from my family; Luella's Guide to English Style, Fisheye lomography camera, 'Two Door Cinema Club' & 'The xx' CDs, Black satchel from Next... I also got some DVDs, iridescent tights, a Union Jack umbrella, velvet leggings, socks, gloves, pyjamas... oh and my mum's paying for my trip to New York in a few months time! New York, like THE New York City! I've never been to America before and I've heard it's going to be absolutely freezing then, so it won't be a super stylish trip as I'll most likely be jet-lagged and bundled up in a mass of layers the whole time, but still, "I'm going to New York!" *squeals with excitement* Ooh, honestly, it's a dream come true...

Btw. I've set up a poll (top left column) 'cuz I was wondering what you awesome people would like to see more of on my blog... photography, fashion, outfit shots, or are you content with my whimsical ramblings? I'd really love to know and it'll only take you a few seconds to vote, so pretty please? I'll love you forever ;) or at least until I get distracted by something shiny... tehe.

Today's Anthem: "Cosmic Love" (acoustic cover) by Florence + the machine.
