5 Very Last Minute Gifts

Christmas is fast approaching and we all sometimes forget a gift for someone.

Here is 5 gifts that are cute and easy to pick up.

1) Book lamp from amazon.

I've bought this for myself since it gets pretty dark after work and the lamp I have in the living room isn't the brightest.  This is a cute little book that opens into a light, it has different colour settings and is bright enough to enable me to read a book comfortablely.

2) Himalayan salt or crystal tea light holder

They're pretty easy to pick up in shops, however both of mine did come from a Christmas market, if you have one near they'll more than likely have a few. They're perfect for the crystal lover in your life, they look nice anywhere in a room.

3) The Body Shop Japanese face mask

The Japanese Matcha Tea Pollution Clearing Mask is great for anyone who loves a good face mask. As it's in a tub instead of a sheet mask it was last then a while longer and who doesn't want to get rid of the pollution from the day.

4) DrSalts bath salts.

These come in a few different types but I have the sleep therapy one as it's a lovely lavender smell which is relaxing for bedtime. I've used this a few times now and my body does feel a little more relaxed than a normal bath. I picked this up in Tesco but I think Holland and Barrett also sell it.

5) Christmas reads

Both of these are full of short stories set around Christmas time. I'm halfway though both and I'm enjoying them. Not every short story is great but they're enjoyable non the less. Murder at Christmas is a selection of crime stories and The twelve strange days of Christmas is a selection of supernatural stories, they're spooky and fun.

Three Quick And Comfy Summer Outfits

Outfit: | Top - Pulp | Shorts - Monki | Boots - T.U.K | Bag - Killstar | 
 
Band tshirt and shorts is the easiest thing to to wear, not much thought has to go into it. I paired it with the rose back as the slipknot writing is in red and I thought it matched well. I've been knotting all my tops lately to make them cropped and I don't plan on stopping. I do need more band tshirts in my life and I've been looking but I'm not liking the ones I've seen so far.

Outfit: | Top - HMV | Dress - Primark | Bag - Resstyle | Shoes - Killstar | 
 
Got to show my love for horror even in the summer. Paired the tshirt with a mini vest dress as its quick to throw on, though with this dress I probably would have tights on as it's quite short.

 Outfit: | Dress - Boohoo | Belt - Restyle | Bag - Banned Apparel | Shoes, Sunglasses & Necklace - Killstar |
 
This dress is just so flowy and comfy that I will be wearing it a lot during the summer months for work. As it's pretty plain it will go with everything. Throw on a little jacket and I'm good to go.

3 Work Outfits

To me work outfits have to be comfortable and easily layered as it gets a little cold in the office. I'm lucky that my office is pretty relaxed and you can wear almost anything, within reason.

The first i what i wear on warmer days since it's just a jumper over a plain black vest dress. It's comfy, cosy and warm. It looks fine on it' own so it doesn't need to much in the way of accessories.

| Outfit: | Jumper - Killstar | Boots - Dr Martens | Scarf - Ebay |

This dress i wear a lot and I've had it for quite a number of years. It's comfy and easy to change up with different accessories and cardigans.

I've layered a cropped hoodie under the super old fuzzy cardigan as it was super chilly that day and this surprisingly keeps me very warm. Added a belt and necklace to break up the all black look.

| Outfit: | Cardigan - Primark | Dress - H&M | Necklace & Belt - Killstar | Boots - Dr Martens |

This outfit is something id wear for work in summer as the cardigan and tights are thin. Again comfy and i wear this skirt all the time. As the top has quite a loud print i though it didn't need any necklaces.

| Outfit: | Top - Jilted Generation | Skirt - H&M | Boots - Dr Martens | 

Dr Martens LEONORE FUR LINED Review

I've had them for just over a month now and I've been wearing them every time I go out.

First they are actually very warm. I wanted them mostly because my feet get cold in the office. Since I've had them that isn't a problem. Walking outside I don't feel the cold on my toes at all. They're very comfy and feel like little pillows on my feet.

Secondly there was pretty much no breaking them in. I felt no pain the first few times I wore them which is usual for new docs. No annoying blisters anywhere, no rubbing. Nothing. These have been the easiest shoes to break in I've ever had, including other brands. They've been so easy since they're faux fur lined, that's added padding and taken away all discomfort. The fit of them is narrow due to the lining. However they do stretch after wear like all docs. I got my usual shoe size and they fit fine. 

Free Spirit Horror Candles Unboxing

This is one of the gifts I got for Christmas from my parents. Free Spirit is an UK etsy shop that sells candles, bath stuff etc.

I'm a huge lover of horror films and candles so this was a perfect fit for me. They're classic horror based. Jason, pennywise and Freddie. They came wrapped in a cool horror paper which isn't pictured as I took these pictures after Christmas. They all small lovely and look cool. Once they're all burnt I will reuse the jars for something else since the labels are nice.
