Christmas tag

Now I don't usually do these things but I'm sick and very bored so lets give it a whirl! :)


Whats your favourite Christmas movie/s?
OK well, my favourites change all the time! But I do love National Lampoons Christmas Vacation because c'mon lets face it, its the absolute best!
I also adore ELF & Die Hard, but who doesn't so I'm going to go for The Santa Clause!
This is one of the only films that actually makes me feel 'Christmassy'  at all! Tim Allen you're some man for one man!

Do you open your presents Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?
Most definately Christmas morning! 
Although we are allowed open one present on Christmas Eve! Which is always super exciting! 
But we all enter the living room Christmas morning (Arund 6 in the morning actually due to excited children in the house)

Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?

Me and my younger brother Niall have always been close, so when he said he was going travelling I was sad but delighted for him because thats something I know he really wants to do and its something that I love doing too (Wanderlust must run in my family) So we thought he wasnt coming home for Christmas, but he turned up on our doorstep without notice. It was amazing and I'll never forget it! But now he's living in Florida and wont be home this christmas but i know hes having and unreal time!

Favourite Christmas Food?
HANDS.DOWN my ma's Christmas sausage meat stuffing.
I legit wait ALL YEAR for this stuff! And it makes my mouth water even thinking about it. 

Favourite Christmas gift?
oh good god I have the memory of a goldfish. Thats a tough aul question alright! 
Well my boyfriend got me an amazing phone last year and I adore it!
I also remember I was about 12 and got my very first Bass guitar...legit nearly cried my eyes out with joy cause I was a big aul emo rocker and wanted nothign more than to be in a band! Thanks ma and da, yous are sound! 

Favourite Christmas scent?
Definately Christmas Dinner being cooked! Lord damn!!! Thats some smell I tells ya!
Nothing makes me happier than the smell of that!
And also Yankee Candle Christmas Eve / Snow in love 


Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?
Damn right!
Ever since we were kids, me and my four youngest brothers used to always stay in my room on Christmas eve. And we STILL do that to this day, they all bring their matresses into my room and we all sleep in there together after opening one present! We will be minus one brther as he's in Florida this year but at least we can all skype him to make him a part of it all!


What tops your tree?
Since I was 10 a Christmas themed Tinkerbell doll tops my tree, we got her In Disney World Florida when we visited the first time! Shes so pretty!


As A kid, what is the one extravagant gift you asked for but never got?
Ah jaysus I can't even remember, something insanely stupid like a stage for my band or something! 

Whats the best part about Christmas for you?
Having everyone be lazy together!
We have a Pyjama Christmas so we've never got christmas clothes!
We all sit around in our PJ's together and chill and get drunk and eats loads of food!
I also love seeing my brothers faces when they open their presents, no matter how old they get, that will never get old to me.


And I tag everyone who hasn't done this to do it!!

New Look : Christmas On a Budget

Happy lunch time ya'll

Now in my previous posts I wrote about how to do Christmas fashion on a budget, and I really meant a budget! We've had Forever21 : Christmas on a budget, H&M :Christmas on a budget and now we have New Look, Granted this is the most expensive of the three but if you have some spare cash then sure why not? 
This gorgeous Shimmering gold pencil dress is actually cheaper than it looks! It's 24.99 and will last you though the whole Christmas Season! This figure hugging dress is super elegant and great if you have a peachy bum! 
Next up we have this super sparkly number. Much more shimmery and beautiful in real life, this dress must be seen with your own two eyes, this dress is PERFECT for those who have a tad bit more boobage (like yours truly) it also covers those lumps and bumps that you don't want seen but are still beautiful :) This dress is the perfect party dress at 29.99
Next up we have these fabulously 90's velvet crush skater dresses, at just 22.99, you will look incredible! Dress up or dress down with some Docs, messy hair and truly be brought back to the 90's

Going to a big crazy fancy dinner? Or just want to look super elegant for Christmas? Then look no further than this gorgeous eye catching dress! With a scooped back and a midnight blue shimmer, this is one damn sexy dress! And for 34.99 it's not too shabby of a price either! 
**NOTE** This is an online exclusive dress
Like the 34.99 dress but its a little bit too much on the purse? Well then why not opt for this shorter AND cheaper but still VERY sophisticated dress? At just 17.99 this is a fraction of the price and more wearable!Make of the same fabric, this midnight blue sparkly dress will make heads turn!
This is one of my favourites! Again, this one has to be seen with your own eyes to really see how beautiful it truly is! And at 24.99 it's not the worst price tag in the world! This Stunning blue and silver shimmery dress is perfect for hiding those lumps and bumps (even though they're beautiful) I would suggest running down and getting the baby, I know I will be!

Looking for something a bit more 'Santa baby'? Yep, thought so!
Then why not slap on this stunning skater dress! A perfect shape for nearly anyone too! And the lattice neck straps make you look like a pretty little wrapped present! Awh! And the price? 
Just 14.99!
Available in 5 colours

I know this was the most expensive of the three aforementioned posts,but if you do have just that little bit extra to spend I thought id help you out!
Happy shopping!!
