Christmas gifting for the girl who has everything
We all have a friend or family member who responds to a request for their Christmas wish list with a “But, I already have everything I could ever possibly want”. Pretty unhelpful, right?
I actually caught myself saying this the other day and gave myself a mental slap on the wrist. I am incredibly fortunate, but I’ve got to admit that despite this, I still spy things I wish were mine on a regular basis. What woman doesn’t? So, if you’re faced with finding the perfect gift for someone who says they have it all (news flash: they’re probably just being polite), here’s what’s on my wish list this festive season.

A whimsy day for a special bride to be
My little sister is getting married in February, and as maid of honour, it was my duty (and pleasure!) to organise a Kitchen Tea for her.
She’s crystal mad and a real girly girl, so I knew in my mind exactly how I wanted the tea to come together. I envisioned a whimsical garden party, that was quite traditional but still had enough sparkles to satisfy.
So, with a lot of preparation and some major help from the ladies of my family, we managed to put together an afternoon full of pink favours and sparkly treats for her.

Instagramming my way through the week
Oh, please. Don’t even try to pretend you’re not addicted to Instagram.
There are plenty of things to love about Instagram, but one of my most favourite things about the social network is how it allows me to visually revisit my week – and what a week this one’s been.
