L & B Gift Guide 2013: Presents for Friends

Whether it's a work Kris Kindle or a best buddies present - you are sure to find a gem in here to tick of your present list. Pinterest and Instagram have some really great ideas about chic presents (big time bloggers get the first look at cool products and often share great reviews...), which is where I have gotten all my ideas from. I'm halfway there with the presents...yey! The Toy Show was on TV last week and I marked the 1st December with making Orange and clove decorations (an old school project I do every year!) so I guess I am officially in the Christmas spirit!

January Blues

January Blues...

Post-Christmas usually revolves a January of impossible resolutions, sky rocket gym memberships, tee-total nights out and empty pockets. Hence the dreaded January Blues. 
So instead of retreating to the sofa to watch re-runs of last years tv with celery sticks and goji berries, I am embracing the January Blues with a blue hue for the whole month. Be it by painting my nails cobalt blue or wearing my sale-steal mixed blue tweed jacket I snapped from Zara (I have worn it four of the last six days...borderline obsession!).

I say embrace the January Blues with my set of blue inspired items...here here!

Enjoy your weekend, Yas x
