I would like to take this opportunity to wish every one of you a very happy and healthy Christmas. 

I hope it is and continues to be one that is very special for all.

For me this has been a really difficult one as it is the first year without my beloved Grandmother. For the first time, I now realise that beneath the exterior joy, Christmas can in fact be a very difficult time and for everyone of you that is experiencing sadness this year, my thoughts are with you all! I hope that your family and friends can give you the strength to get through it and find some joy in the season that brings smiles to so many.

Surrounded (and spoiled) by my family and my boyfriend, I have found that the true meaning of Christmas is in those that you love and those that love you and even though your loved ones may not be with you in person, you are forever surrounded by them and by their memories.

For the very cold festive occasion, I decided to wrap up warm in my new faux fur coat from River Island which I matched with a pair of leather culottes from Topshop and a simple black polo neck jumper. A touch of rose gold jewellery finished the look with just a little Christmas sparkle!
