Charity Finds, Christmas Cakes & Literary Debuts!

I have a whole lot of random stuff to share with you before Christmas! Firstly, I'm so excited to finally see the finished version of style and image book, 'Your Best You' by Sonya Lennon & Brendan Courney.

You may remember earlier this year, I travelled to Dublin to take part in some photos for this book so it was great to see the final shot appearing in the book (twice!)..

I'm really impressed with the book. As well as being full of fashion and beauty advice, it's got a great 'dressing for your body shape' section and lots of advice on exercise and diet. You may be wondering why I have two of the books - watch out for a giveaway in January. But if you can't wait that long, you can pick it up on Amazon.
Also this week, we went to the nursery nativity play (cue non-stop blubbing)..the cuteness of it all! 

I've had several supermarket dashes and lots of food preparation for the big day. In the midst of it all, this lovely delivery came from The Fat Gherkin.

The Christmas cake is made and iced - so relieved to get this job out of the way. Hope it tastes as good as it looks..

I've also had a couple of shifts to do in the Cancer Research shop - wearing my new M&S dress today - loving it with this H&M white shirt and River Island ankle boots..

and look at this absolute beauty of a handbag that's sitting in the Lisburn Road shop at the moment. Dark grey Lulu Guinness in excellent condition for only £40. PM me if interested. Can't promise it will still be there after a busy Saturday though...

So, like everyone this time of year, it's going to be a busy 3 or 4 days but I'll squeeze in a couple more posts before I take a break with the family for a few days over Christmas. Oh and the Christmas sales - I need time off to explore them too - for research purposes only :)
