And these are a Few of my Favourite Things: Christmas Edition

I am quite aware that the majority of the readers out there must be counting the minutes to Christmas Day, while the rest of them are still worried about the last-minute stocking stuffers. Well, this post just involves those little girly items that make me think of Christmas (stuffed animals and cosy blankets not included; otherwise the list would never end) 🙂

Foundation and powders for all those lengthy family moments, which bring in their own drama:

What is Christmas time without some hot chocolate? It is a rhetorical question :).

Although this is not really Christmas themed, I love the red London icons of the telephone booth and the double-decker bus. I feel that the somber grey scene with the brightly coloured icons is indeed festive.
