Our Winter Wonderland...


This post is a little bit of a different one but I was scrolling through our pictures from a recent trip to Winter Wonderland and figured with it being so close to Christmas I'd put together a festive little post.
Being a couple that had never been to Winter Wonderland before we figured we'd make our first winter as a married couple the one to brave the cold and venture through Hyde Park...  


We masqueraded and then got told off for doing so...


We then realised that we were very very silly and forgot to bring cash, which way is the cash machine...?


We snapped Santa and his Sleigh in the Ferris Wheel...


I took some blurry pictures in the crowds...


We walked and walked and got a bit lost...


We found the Haunted House and...


...We picked up some very over-priced tickets for the haunted house and came out a little disappointed but all in all it was a very picturesque and romantic evening and I really enjoyed it.  we then walked through Sloane Sq and nuzzled our hot cups of coffee home.

The lip lovers perfect little gift...


Coming from a family that doesn't give Christmas presents but rather just all get together to eat our body weight in sweets and poultry I couldn't do a full fledged Christmas gift guide but on a rare shopping day in London I decided to seek out this adorable little gift set with my John Lewis vouchers in hand.  I'd watched Vivianna's gift guide and instantly fell in love with it and coming in at around the £17 mark it's great value for money. 
I'm probably one of the only girls on the planet that still hasn't tried the infamous Instant light natural lip perfectors and this gift set having two mini's in the shades 01 and 06 meant it was a no brainer! The set also comes with a mini Rouge Eclat satin lipstick in #13 and a Gloss Prodige in #04.  All wearable neautral shades and the Clarins attendant was lovely and picked out all the shades from their testers so that I could actually see what came in the box and let me have a quick swatch but I had walked into John Lewis knowing I wanted this and with some John Lewis vouchers from my wedding burning a hole in my purse I took it without a second thought.
Whether you celebrate Christmas or not you have to agree this is the season for gift sets and a bargain so If you're looking for the perfect little gift for a loved one or just a little treat for yourself like me I'd recommend checking out your local Clarins counter!
