A Very Merry Christmas

I just took a few minutes to glance back at posts I published for Christmas 2010. It was cool to remind myself how the weather shaped up and which gifts I received. It was unseasonally warm this year - not as pretty without the snow that's for sure and it didn't inspire any outdoors photography. But it was nice all the same. We had Christmas lunch for two then caught up with family later. We reigned in the spending this year and didn't go wild with presents. Tell me, what did you get up to? And what did Santa bring?

// My favourite gift - Marc Jacobs Daisy (Eau de Fresh)

// DVDs

// Vouchers

// Fairisle mittens by Joules

Was Father Christmas kind to you? What did you get?!

Lacoste Touch of Pink - A Christmas Gift For You! (CLOSED)

I had a very cool Christmas give-away in mind before my blogging schedule was completely messed up by various misfortunes! It didn't happen but now I have something even better to hand over to one of my lovely readers. I was recently approached on behalf of Lacoste to offer you guys the chance to win a gift set featuring their awesome Touch of Pink fragrance. Pretty sweet prize, right? Lacoste are aiming to get this shipped out to the winner in time for Christmas. Anyone want an extra Christmas gift to open? Thought so!

Touch of Pink is a delicate, fresh fragrance which makes a playful statement. It's a gorgeous, naturally feminine scent. The girly pink packaging is amazing and I'm absolutely delighted that one of you gets to showcase this beauty on your dressing table. What a treat!
