They Know Me So Well

Saturday, 7 January 2012


I wasn't online between Christmas and New Year, so had no chance to talk about Christmas presents. I'm not convinced I would have done a haul type post anyway, cos although it's tempting to share all the lovely goodies I received (and I got lots), there is something of the "OMG I am a spoiled brat with ELEVENTYMILLION PRESENTS!!" about it. So take it as read that I am a spoiled brat, ok? I'll mention presents on here as and when I wear/use them.




Like, um, today! You've all seen the coat and jumper and shorts before, but the accessories are new to me. They're all presents from amazing ladies in Blogland. I hereby salute your exceptional taste. I can't think of anything more me and it's such a wonderful feeling when you know that someone has really thought about what you would like.



I took part in Lakota's Christmas Charity Shop swap and was paired up with the fabulous Curtise. There was a price limit set (naturally I blued most of mine on one thing - sorry!) and Curtise did so well with it - I had tons of little parcels to open! Love, love, love this necklace.

Zoe sent me the scarf and I absolutely adore it. Not that this picture quite does the pattern or the colours justice but it's beautiful.


And the shoes... As you might imagine if you know both of us, Char was responsible for sending these my way. Actual squealing took place during the unwrapping. I have these harlequin pumps in both green and purple but I didn't even know they came in the colourway. Aren't they fab?

Jumper - H&M
Shorts - George sale
Coat - Kookai, car boot sale
Shoes - Irregular Choice, present
Scarf - Jacqmar, present
Beads - present

    Curtise nailed your colours completely in that necklace. Glad you had a successful swap. I got eleventy million pressies too, but no clothes, so still need to be spendy!

    (Sorry, did a typo!)

    Lucky girl, some lovely things there. The beads in particular are beautiful. And you're looking so slim and slinky!

    (I don't mind show and tell posts of people's Christmas presents, but I detest the word 'haul'!!)

    Great pressies- I love looking at necklaces that look like boiled sweets! So lovely and colourful!
    Oh dear, by your stadnards, I am a spoiled brat- I did worry it might appear like that but I decided to do it anyway because I had so many nice things, I wanted to keep a record and show my appreciation!

    You look wonderful in those shorts, every time I see you in shorts looking so fab I think I should get some (But I'm scared...!)
