Russian Ushanka, Recap & Resolutions.

I'm reaaally not sure how I feel about this hat. Not one bit. Apparently they're called Ushankas. Here's what goes through my head when I put it on...

Things I like:

It's soft. Like...oh wow kind of soft! Seriously, I want to sleep in it.
It's so warm and snuggly.
It's a bit unusual. 

Things I don't like:

I look like I'm going to Russia on a hunting trip.
It's a bit unusual.

Working the Russian Ushanka hat? Errr...no...not quite.

So go on....tell me what you think of my Ushanka? Love it....hate it? Would you wear one? It was a gift so you can be honest, I won't be offended! They don't read my blog either....don't worry!

In Other News

I've been a little MIA for the last few days. Do you ever go through spells where you have so much to do you end up doing NOTHING productive?!

I feel like my life's gone crazy. Not in a bad way. Just crazily busy. Not just for a few days but what feels like the last three weeks actually. Moving from Korea, blogging, Christmas shopping, blogging, getting engaged blogging, Christmas, blogging, New Year, blogging, catching up with friends and family I've not seen for the last two and a half years and a bit more blogging.

And...breathe.

It's been fun but the drawback is I've missed telling you about loads of bits. So I'll try to start filling in the gaps here and there. Firstly, because I'm most excited about it, I started planning my wedding. Yep, I know I still haven't told you the proposal story, it's on my 'to-do' list though! We've set a provisional date of March 2013, on a beach, somewhere warm, possibly Thailand! I'm hoping it's going to look something like this; 

I also took part in a Blogger's Secret Santa at Christmas. It was run by the lovely Melina. I received my gift few days ago, all the way from Australia! I got paired up with a very stylish lady who goes by the name of Professor Barbie. Here's the lovely girl herself in a beautiful outfit;

Ummm, how much do I wish the weather here right now was right for that outfit? 100 Mile an hour winds and pouring rain....A LOT! Got to love England! Anyway, she sent me a little parcel of goodies. All so cute and pretty, I will try to take photos to show you soon. She also wrote a cute message and filled the card with sparkly gold stars. You know that made me happy! Check out her fashion and beauty blog Professor Barbie in the Playground. 

So that's clued you in on a few bits and bobs that have been going on with me. What's been happening with you since New Year? Have you made any resolutions?

I have, they're horrible. Really horrible. Save money, diet and work harder. Fun huh?!
