Shopaholic or Christmas Lover?

Even in a country that doesn't celebrate it, christmas shopping is always fun! Today, I spent 2 whole hours running around the shopping mall in my oh-so-comfortable loafers and purse; looking for gifts. I returned home with exactly 13 bags, and trust me, they weren't so small. I'm not going to write what I got, knowing that people for whom I got gifts might be stalking me (gotcha). I don't know if it's because I'm a huge winter-lover or because I love fluffy sweaters, snow and the colour red! Either way, I'll never be the normal kind of foreigner that ignores the rest of the worlds traditions and holidays. I just can't resist the urge to sit down with reindeer printed socks and listen to soothing Christmas Hits such as "Let it snow", "Jingle-bell Rock" and of course, my ultimate favourite, "All I want for christmas is you"! But with all this, I just can't decide if it's normal or pretentious for someone to celebrate Christmas in a country that doesn't celebrate it. Even if I'm considered a wannabe, I shall not spend a winter without the coziness of a Christmas jumper or the creaminess of a Starbucks Christmas-special toffee nut latte.

PS: I have, as you might've already seen, decided to use this blog as a normal blog rather than just a "fashion" blog. But of course there will be fashion, it's inevitable!

Now, let's get to the topic. I don't know how, but I ended up in "http://www.savethechildren.org.uk/designerchristmasjumpers". This site is holding up an auction for nothing other than designer christmas sweaters! My fave 3 words combined. And they are not just sweaters, they're by british fashion designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Burberry or Alexander McQueen! So, you have to go on the site and make a bid on your favourite sweater. 84p of each entry goes to save the children too. The lowest unique bid wins! I just love the idea. Even though I'm not sure if it works outside the UK, I'm sure as hell trying to get the McQueen one!

Here are my favourites:

Until the next time,


Cheers,

Winter is coming!

Sitting in that same old couch with a pair of tight sweatpants, eating a high-cal candy bar and watching the same Keeping Up With the Kardashians episode for the 5th time ? That, my friend, is a sign that you should get up, go to the nearest gym and take your fave healthy food on a date. Because winter isn't the season to gain all the weight lost in summer. But the thing is, I still can go out with a jumper and not get cold. I wonder if it's just me or the seasons disappearing because of the global warming. But still, it was about time that I made a weight-calender. Enough with the weight talks. For me, winter is Starbucks' red paper cups, Gingerbread-men, snowflake-patterned clothes, warm and huge jumpers, fireplaces, watching the Harry Potter series for the 100th time, Doc Martens, colourful beanies etc.

I just had the time to ask myself what this post had to do with fashion, but eh, whatever! This is what I'm feeling.
