A Luxurious Christmas

Twas' the season to be jolly! Just a few of my favourite gifts that I've received for Christmas this year. I've fallen in love with new comfy intimates by Country Road. Thanks to my cousin for such a cute comfortable gift! Will definitely be putting them into good use.

Also I’ve always said that I wanted to start learning how to cook. And what perfect timing it was when I received beautiful retro recipe cookbooks from my boyfriend’s brother for Christmas this year! It was exactly what I need to start ticking off some of my new years resolutions. I’m hoping to master all these recipes by the end of next year hopefully hehe. Thanks a bunch Matty, they are adorable!

I seem to always receive the prettiest presents from my boyfriend’s family - even though I know it’s always his mother who does all the present picking hehe! I have been meaning to go looking for case for my touchpad and this Ted Baker patent iPad case I received for Christmas from them was exactly what I was after and needed! The colour couldn’t have been more attractive - a beautiful bright orange! I can’t deny that I can always trust their taste.

Last but not least, amongst the plentiful number of other minor gifts I had received for Christmas this year from family and friends, my most treasured gift of all was from my sweet boyfriend himself. A gorgeous maroon patent Burberry tote was not what I was expecting to receive! He definitely took me by surprise while we were all exchanging gifts with his family. I was honestly not expecting to receive such a largely wrapped gift, because initially I was assuming that the larger gifts would have been for the kiddies, because everyone knows that kids always expect the bigger the presents, the better haha. But who knew I would have unraveled a piece of Burberry! The icing on the cake was that the bag he had specifically selected from overseas is currently not stocked in Australia. According to him he wanted to ensure I deserve to be the owner of a slightly more 'unique style' in Sydney… gosh I feel so special haha. He’s made such a lovely choice. He sure knows how to make a girl ‘berry’ happy on Christmas Day hehe. Thank you baby! I’m feeling rather spoilt this year.
