Christmas in Chester - Book of Elsa

Christmas in Chester

In order to change my attitudes towards this holiday, I've decided to embrace it all. From mulled wine to seasonal markets and twinkle lights... think I threw up a little in my mouth then; Nevertheless undeterred I'm Keeping Calm and Carrying On.

Christmas - Gift Guide for under £15

The end of November can only mean one thing, CHRISTMAS is here!

This time of year can be seriously expensive so I thought why not give you guys a run down of the best deals I could find; Bear in mind shops have the advantage over the internet in some aspects as with buying clothes for example. 

Also please don't be conned into the whole bigger is better 'thing' that is Christmas, I've come to believe the best presents not only need to cost the earth but are THE best because thought has been placed. 

So have a think about who you're buying/crafting for: what do they like? What do they need? Are they likely to use the phone sleeve you're about to spend £20 on etc...

Goodluck!

Insomnia - Maya Angelou

Insomnia

There are some nights when

sleep plays coy,

aloof and disdainful.

And all the wiles

that I employ to win

its service to my side

are useless as wounded pride,

and much more painful.

Untitled - Book Of Elsa

Untitled

I am not finished... an incomplete poster child.

Untitled work of art or is it work of war?

Drew a line in the sand, the monster followed my soul 

Ran and ran woke up screaming the monster by my bed

All my twisted thoughts and cannot bring myself to say it

I love this monster, really I do. He's mine.

I've grown with him so go get your own

I try to battle, but fight is futile he's won. Always and Forever.

One of us must die; I fear it'll be him.

Then he'll know peace and I'll be all alone

So here I am on this early morn trying to decide

Am I an act of war or a work of art?

Autumn Inspirations

Autumn Inspirations

Literally dying for all things autumn! This time of year is a fave

Here are some of the things on my fall #wishlist

Candles, Candles and more Candles

This coat from ZARA is awesome, it gives me so much Kardashian chic in a good way. Perfect for my body shape and it's ridiculously soft. The colour goes with every  I own... mostly black and white stuff but if ever I introduce colour to my wardrobe (as if) I'll make it work too.

Books!!!

Themed Jumpers.... Gotta love it guys #dontjudgeme

and of course Pumpkins, I mean look how cute these are.....
