the haul.


I love birthdays specifically for the presents. Not the ones given from others (though they are always well received), but because it's the perfect excuse/ guise to treat. yo. self. (It's the best day of the year!) A little something to congratulate yourself for surviving yet another year in one piece and because no can ever question the price tag of your purchases. I tend to go a little overboard with the self gift giving, particularly this time around where I figured I owed it to myself to buy a complete outfit. It initially started out with the Skin 5's (which are my new favourite denim cut, any shorties out there go get yourself a pair). After some good time spent on the Acne online store I had my heart set on the classic bomber which Jack kindly bought for me and the watercolour tank. The Wang shoes I had stumbled upon on Sincerely Jules (bad idea) and I loved the fact it had ankle straps and a thick but short heel. Now I'm just dealing with the fact that I'm 22 and Cara Delevingne and Karlie Kloss just turned 21. What am I doing with my life!

his and hers.


Wishing you all a Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays/ Happy Chrismukkah (if you are partial to Seth Cohen). I don't have many family traditions during the holidays but I was able to take part in my boyfriend's family's epic Christmas Eve dinner (so much food it was insane). I also jumped the gun on gifts and got us to open each other's a day early! I'm just one of those people who can't stand to keep a present from someone - especially when it's something you know the other person will love.

Jack asked for a leather satchel, something business-like that he'll be able to use in the new year. Took me a while to hunt for the perfect one - had to ask some of my stylish guy friends and experienced gift giving girlfriends but I found one (thanks Tegan!)  from this British brand, Jaeger who are known for their coats and knitwear. It also fits his Macbook Pro (phew) among other things so I can see him getting a lot of use out of it.

In return I was surprised with the Michael Kors watch I have been eyeing at David Jones for for about a month now. I was devastated when I walked past the cabinet one day during my lunch break and it was no longer there - turns out it was actually Jack! He also wrapped it up in a bigger box so I had absolutely no idea. He spoils me. 

Anyway hope you all have a wonderful day filled with family, friends, food, fun, presents and Christmas cheer! x
