Top 5 senses: December


  
I know we are in the middle of January now and I know that the last time I did a post like this was wayyy back in October...but hey, better late than never? December was a time when the weather got harsher and colder which means tons of layering, dark colours and of course, Christmassssss!

OOTD // Joy to the World





ALSO ON CHICTOPIA





sparkly maxi skirt: boohoo (similar) // crop top: thrifted (similar) // black wedges: new look(similar) // chunky necklace: eBay // earrings: boutique in Malaysia (similar) // lips: lime crime velvetine in 'red velvet'


"Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing"


Guess whaaaat? It's Christmas Dayyyy! I can't contain my excitement :D
In honour of my Christmas countdown, here is 1 Christmas outfit (:


As soon as this Boohoo maxi skirt arrived (haul to come soon), I knew it had to be incorporated into Christmas somehow! It was so flowy, sparkly and best of all, gold! It's also sheer, but it has knicker pants underneath so you're not over-exposed - no one wants that! It was also only £6 in the sale, but I think it's sold out now :( :(


I wore this to church on Christmas Eve and kept it simple - black crop top, gold accessories to match and a bold red lip for that extra festivity. All in all, I love this outfit. It's so elegant, formal and made me feel like a semi-princess, teeheee :')


I can't believe it's Christmas already though! Felt like this day would never come...anyway, it's 2am as I write this and I should probably head to bed because my sisters want to be up early to open presents :P 
Hope you guys enjoyed the 5 day countdown with loads of Christmas goodness (go to my archive to check them out!)
Gooooood night and hope you guys have a Merry Christmas!

1. Snow Globes

I've always loved snow globes because they're so whimsical and it's just full of wintery goodness! Especially when you shake it and the 'snow' goes around...how cool would it be to make your own?


2. Christmas Wreaths

Everyone needs a Christmas wreath at the front of their door! My favourite is the very top multi-coloured felt one if you're after something quirky, but I also love the very right one in the second row as it's more classy, yet has that festive vibe. I envy people who can make these :(


Here's a sneak peek of how my house is decorated :D





Presents from the family - I spy one with my name on it ;)



Hope you guys have a fabulous Christmas Eve and are just as excited as I am!

I love how there's a combination of Christmassy themed things going on in this so if you don't know which to choose... CHOOSE THEM ALL! The Santa Claus and Candy cane stripes are the best in my opinion (:

If you're not into hard core Christmas novelty themed nails, this is more subtle, classy and still festive (:

This is another adorable one that I think will be actually quite simple to achieve! Lovveeeee it!


On a side note, I got my early Christmas present from the good people of UCAS because... I got a conditional offer to the University of Bath! Yayyy! It's one of my top choices so I'm quite happy (:
Also, it's the beginning of Christmas holidays which is amazing cause I can't wake up naturally and without an alarm! Bliss.
