Long Time Gone

I guess I should start of by apologising for my awkward posing. Outfit posts always look nice when taken with a high quality dslr, shot somewhere nice and sunny and great editing skills. Unfortunately I have neither of them, which equals me, awkwardly posing in my bedroom haha. Anyway, enough of the complaints, it's almost Christmas and I'm super excited! All the yummy food, spending some quality time with the family, etc...I can't believe we're almost 2014. Time flew by so quickly! One of my new year's resolutions are definitely trying to be more healthy and update this blog more often! Aaaaaaand saving up for a new camera, which will definitely make updating more fun!

For all you music enthusiast: Did you know that Norah Jones and Billie Joe Armstrong did an album together? I listened to it today, and let me tell you it's absolutely amazing! I used to listen to a lot of Green Day when growing up, so it was definitely nice to see Billie Joe do something completely different.
I'm so exhausted, today has been...emotional haha

hope you enjoyed! lots of love x
ps: again really really sorry for the quality of the pictures, it's literally driving me mad:(

Sunday Selfie #02

Christmas Season is the perfect excuse for cheesy webcam seflies don't you think? Also can we just ignore the fact that we're technically not even Sunday anymore? I bought the cosiest and fluffiest turtleneck in the H&M sales (which you can kind of see in the pictures) along with a coat. I got a great deal on both of the items and am dying to show you the coat I got!

I'm planning on going to Brussels on Monday, where I'll hopefully take some snaps as last time (click!). Remember last time I went to Brussels, I bought a Harry Styles cardbord cut out haha? I'm planning on getting all five of them, so little Harry doesn't feel left out...Whilst there, I'm also going to try and find some stuff for a give away which will hopefully happen as my 1 year of blogging rolls around soon. I obviously still have to inform myself on the whole shipping process and stuff, but it's definitely something I want to do. Keep your eyes peeled!
Anyway I should probably go now since it's almost 3am and I have to be up early tomorrow to do my last minute Christmas shopping (I'm super early as always I know haha)

Last-Minute Christmas Gift Guide

For all the loving Mums

Maman je t'aime by miraalouise

Linea owl mug / Diptyque candles candleholder / Swarovski jewelry / Snowflake pendant / COS navy shawl / Beauty product / Crate & Barrel "Cook with Jamie" / KITCHEN AID Artisan mixer / Mulberry Leather Case for Kindle Keyboard, Black, 

Charms: It's sparkly, glittery and looks super cute! Every mum will love these cute charms by Pandora and Swarovski! (There are obviously loads of other brands to choose from)
Snuggly scarf: Does this need any more explaining? Just look how cozy and snuggly this Cashmere scarf looks!
Kitchenaid: This is wayyyyy out of my budget, but if you have siblings and want to make your mother a great Christmas present I think that a Kitchenaid is the perfect gift to put under the tree!
Soap: These shampoo bars do not only smell heavenly but are also perfect as a gift!
Mugs: Just fill a cute mug of your choice with your favourite self made cookies and your ready to go! (personal favourite)
Candles: As for candles, I chose a Diptyque one that is slightly on the pricier side. I heard only good things about them so I do guess (and hope) that they're worth their price!
Books & CD's: If all else fails, just head to your favourite CD shop or library nd get your mum the book/CD she has been talking about for aaaaaages! 

For the best dads

Dads by miraalouise

Fedoras: If your dad is pulling a Ha(i)rry Styles why not get him one more of his beloved fedoras (or other hats)?
Helicopter: I don't know about your dads but mine's literally the biggest 4 year old when it comes to toys! 
Parfume: Perfumes are a classic!
Mugs: Again, couldn't resist including a super cute mug which you can (again) fill with your dad's favourite cookies.
DVD's: I'm sure your dad would love a good ol' movie that he can watch over again!
Slippers: Especially in winter, it's important to keep your feet warm! You don't want your dad being grumpy because he's cold.
Socks: Why not get him the matching socks? I know socks are considered the most boring gifts everrr, but you can spice them up buy putting some kind of sweets in them, just like Santa does!
Vinyl discs: If your parents still happen to be the proud owners of a vinyl recorder, why not buy your dad his favourite record from his teenage years? 
Scarf:You can never go wrong with a cozy scarf!
Wine bottle holder: This is especially a great gift if your dad has a passion for wines!

It's almost Christmas and like every year, I'm running suuuuper late! I'm just the worst at buying presents.. I'm going Christmas gift hunting tomorrow, so fingers x'd! Here's my last-minute Christmas guide which will hopefully help some of you last-minute shoppers out there to find the perfect present for your loved ones! I find buying presents for your parents the hardest because they always say they don't want anything. I included a large variety of gifts in all kind of different price ranges (some more, some less expensive). What's on your personal Christmas wish list?:)x
 Hope you enjoyed!
