I'm dreaming of a perfect Christmas....

Merry Christmas! This post is my entry into the Tots100/Argos 12 Days of Christmas competition.

The perfect Christmas for me would still begin at an outrageously ungodly hour as its me that wakes the kids up jumping on their beds filled with glee!

I love Christmas its the only day of the year that my whole family get together as year by year we get bigger and bigger and our numbers swell. We all bundle together and of course the table isn't big enough nor are there enough chairs but we make do and get inventive, and of course these make shift chairs always go to the youngest. 
It makes me smile to look down the table and remember how many moons ago I would have been on one of those chairs.

My perfect Christmas isn't about gifts and bling or toys and things its about how many amazing people I have in my life and the influence they've had on mine and now my children's lives.
I would love a Christmas that has everyone I've ever loved there so that when I look around the Christmas table I don't spot the missing faces.

I'd love a Christmas filled with joy and to watch everyone opening their presents and see them smile when they realise that the tips and hints they've been dropping have been heard.

The perfect Christmas for me wouldn't have the stress of not being able to afford whatever is on the Christmas list, in fact I think in order to truly have the perfect Christmas you need to look at Christmas through the eyes of a child.

When I was a child everything seemed amazing each little gift I'd asked for was there wrapped nicely under the tree just for me. So that would be my wish for a perfect Christmas that I'd be able to no matter what make sure the magic of Christmas is felt by all.

My New Years Eve Style with #ShopStyleParty

This is my mood board of the outfit I would love to be rocking this New Years Eve!
It's been a long time since I've actually had a new years eve out but my number one mum has offered to babysit the angels this year.
So if your on the hunt for the ultimate party season outfit you have to check out ShopStyle.

This is my #ShopStyleParty Christmas/New Year Party outfit!

Harrods Leila Fur Trim Cape £1375 this is my lust after item it screams sophistication and as its been four years since I celebrated New Years I figured what better way to go then in style.

Alexander Wang High-rise Skinny Jeans £205 I decided to go with skinny jeans as I can not bear being cold and these would flatter my curvy figure.

Malene Birger Lancie Striped Silk Top £235 the perfect monochromatic accompaniment that not only looks fabulous but is sure to make me feel a million dollars too.

Lucy Pearl Drop Earrings £25.00 Simple yet elegant I feel their the perfect accompaniment to this outfit although I did differ over whether I should have been more bold!

Alexander McQueen Knuckle Duster Clutch £1,175 I love this bag admittedly not much space to carry everything I need but I'm willing to sacrifice the better half's pockets in the name of love!

Rosie Perspex Studded Counter Printed Heels £15.00 I save the shoes till last I'm a little addicted to shoes and these are shoe perfection and a bargain at that price I'll have two pairs please!

So the overall look I'm trying to achieve is a mix of high street and high end store that presents its self as a well put together, sophisticated, yet fun loving mummy on the town.

Ladies Shopstyle is the place to be if you as indecisive as myself, I literally had so many tabs open so I could flick back and forth. And lets face it that's got to be an improvement on rushing from store to store and then going back to the first outfit we tried on, we all do it.
