Tis the season...

...to love the things you love.

I want to share with y'all some of the things I've gotten during the holidays as gifts or bought myself. I got myself this gorgeous brown Marc by Marc Jacobs called "Bianca Jane on a Leash" It's a cross body bag, which makes it soooo convenient to take out. I love every detail of it - the leather is super soft. It is rather small, but fits all the essentials. The straps are removable so you can use it as a clutch if you want. One downside is that it doesn't have a zipper so you have to make sure to secure the front lock by turning it.
With 6 card slots at the back. Currently holding my phone, key holder, and lip balm.
This bag comes in several different colours as shown on the Marc Jacobs site, and there's also a sparkly one on Harvey Nicols that is currently sold out. I bought mine at Holt Renfrew (a department store in Canada) where the only colour on sale was the sparkly one, but I thought it would be a tad too much for everyday use.

Lately I've been obsessing over candles! I bought a few from Bath and Body Works and took advantage of their buy 1 get 1 free promo right now. Absolutely loving Mint Chocolate!

Other adorable and lovely things this Christmas

Red top bought from Asos! Aren't the ruffles so lovely? Perfect for the holidays :)

Much Love.

@Kalmo YES I AGREE! The wicks do explode which is kinda scary... and funny at the same time! LOL
