Boxing Day was spent with our family & our furbabies with delicious food & family fun with some games & even a little Christmas inspired Photo Booth that my cousins had made up for today
This year we decided to get a really stunning Christmas tree that was firstly easy to assemble & have the lights already on the tree I came across this little beauty from BalsamHill
it arrived very quickly & the tree itself was super easy to assemble it comes in 3 pieces instead of our old tree that was in tiny sections
We got some brand new Disney ornaments for our tree a few I could get from Ebay in Australia but the Cinderella & Belle one is from the USA

With Christmas less than a week away I wanted to create a fun festive eye look using one of my favourite sports girl beauty palettes from this year
The shadows I used
Bae - all over the lid
Lit - all over the lid
Slay - on the butter crease in a v shape
Bye Felicia - The inner portion of my lid
I just love the soft cranberry shades from this palette & that stunning rose gold berry lipstick from ColourPop

Ive had this stunning Zara midi in the " wanting to style " part of my closet for awhile now its a gorgeous
soft metallic satin ombre midi skirt with soft pleats & different shades of purples
The thing that I love about this skirt is that you can style this in any season either with a jumper blouse basic tee its very versatile I would style it with black or white colour tees though
I styled this with a basic cropped tee from boohoo as I wanted all the focus on this gorgeous metallic midi it looks so festive & fun
