After disappearing for seemingly the longest time, am finally back, ready for the new year with many hopes, dreams & resolutions. After ringing in the new year with sparklers & white lanterns, with candle light & much champagne, with wonderful company & a beautiful (albeit unseasonal) night, I feel it was a sign of how the wonderful year ahead will be. . .  

 

The holiday season may be over, but this does not mean you cannot wear sparkles, or dream of chandeliers, or drink a glass of champagne every night or use your beautiful gold cutlery-- admire & use these luxuries as often as you can to make 2012 a truly sparkly year!

The most wonderful time of the year. . .

As the days get longer & the shops get busier, I know we are getting closer & closer to my very favourite time of the year. . .  So much shopping still to do, Christmas cards still to write & packing for my holidays away still to do. . .  But everytime I see twinkling Christmas lights or presents under a tree I feel so warm & sparkly inside, for this really is the most wonderful time of the year. . .

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. . .

Although it's still more then a month away, can't help but feel a little more sparkly when I think about Christmas & candy canes, fairy lights & glitter, wreaths & baubles & party's & new dresses! It really is the most wonderful time of the year. . .

Wish List: All that sparkles. . .

After seeing these delectable shoes here via here have longed for a little more sparkle. . . 

With that in mind have pulled out some of my own-- these to brighten up my (& your) Monday. . .
