Humphrey The Match Strike // Jonathan Adler

This little guy already has a name, he's Humprhey. Humphrey was a little 'just because' gift from the Mr, and the fact he's already been named just a few days after arriving in our home should tell you a) how much I love him and b) what a fruit loop I am. 

But hey, if you're going to have matches on your coffee table (which any scented candle addict like myself  will) what better/cuter way to display them is there? None, really. This adorable but also very chic elephant match strike is by Jonathan Alder and can be purchased from Shopbop (here). 

I noticed Jonathan Adler also makes a sweet little squirrel version. Maybe Humphrey would like a friend... Hmmm.

There's a good handful of other little items by Jonathan Adler that I'd love to add to my home sometime, too. I love that they're all quirky and fun, they make me feel cheerful just looking at them. If you're looking for a stylish but playful gift they'd be a great option too.

Christmas Red & Gold Manicure

I've been busy doing last minute Christmas preparations this weekend; wrapping presents, baking some sweet treats and giving myself a new Christmas mani. As far as Christmas nails go, there is only one contender for the best Christmas polish in my book - China Glaze Ruby Pumps.

If you don't know this polish, you really should, it's a perfect crimson red with micro glitter that reflect a slightly brighter red, so festive! It's also good for Valentine's Day (see this post here). I love it, and although it looks perfectly fabulous on it's own I thought I'd jazz it up with some gold because is there really any better Christmas combination?!!

L to R // The Face Shop Gold Glitter & Micro Gold Glitter, OPI Big Apple red, China Glaze I'm Not Lion, China Glaze Ruby Pumps.

Sugar cookies - I cheated by using the Betty Crocker mix (shhh!) They're so good, it's unlikely they'll be any left by Christmas.

How cute is my little reindeer nail decal!!

I topped off my manicure with Seche Vite in the hopes of it lasting until Wednesday. Seche Vite usually gives me really good wear time, even if it does come at the price of a little shrinkage on the tips. Anyway, only two sleeps to go! :)

So, are you ready for Christmas or do you still have some last minute shopping to do like me?!

Korea // The Final Chapter

Hello! I bet you were beginning to wonder if I was ever coming back, right?!

Well, I am, I've just been so much busier than I could have imagined. Guess I should known moving country would take a bit of work. Anyway, we've made it and so far we're absolutely loving it here. We've spent the first 10 days basically getting our new place organised.  To my absolute delight they have Zara home here. Needless to say, I lost control and my apartment now looks somewhat like an ad for them. Whoops!

Anyway, other than my new home I have lots more to fill you in on, but for the sake of leaving no big gaps I'm going to show you some pictures from my last few days in Korea. All were snapped in a hurry on my iPhone so please excuse the not so great quality!
