I'm going to start by apologising for my lack of content of late. I have been wrapped up in family over the holiday period but also being in a love bubble with my new fiancé. That's right - I GOT ENGAGED!!! Hence the title, this year I will be changing my last name!
This is going to be a great encouragement for the change in my blog content - this year will be filled with party planning, wedding planning and house decorating; as well as continuing with monthly favourites, outfits and travels.
And so, to stick with tradition, here is a (very short) letter to 2018.
Dear 2018,
Please be a good one.
Allow the wedding planning to go smoothly. The world to be kind. And my heart to be full.
May the year be filled with passport stamps, smiles and lots of kisses. Let 2018 be the year to step out of my comfort zone, blog more and worry less.
Allow me to follow closer to God, grow stronger in my faith and to lead by example.
Where will we be next year?!
much love,
XO

Hey ladies!! I have a surprise for you... an actual, real post with new content. I have the most wonderful boyfriend in the world (who is also a photographer), who I somehow convinced to stand in a rainy forest, while being eaten by mosquitoes, and take photos of me for this post. It's DECEMBER!! Which means Christmas party season... Here in Australia, Christmas is in summer, so the outfits aren't northern hemisphere appropriate but you could totally just add a coat :)
Without having a super large introduction, here are four Christmas party outfit ideas for the holiday season.
Beauty
I've been spending quite a bit of time outdoors (which is totally unlike me), so I've found that I've needed to seriously up my moisturiser game. So, throughout November, I thought I'd give the L'Occitane Shea Ultra Rich Face Cream a go -- and I was not disappointed!!
Fashion
I fell (back) in love with midi skirts. I love that the floating clothing trend is back in. Pairing a midi skirt with some slides and a tshirt, is the perfect summer outfit!!
Music
In my mind, it's never too early for Christmas songs... I may have started listening to Pentatonix in July... But last month, I stepped it up a gear and went into full Christmas mode; and I mean, FULL CHRISTMAS MODE. You can head over to my Spotify to see all of the Christmas playlists I've been singing along with.

I'd like to pretend it was another one of those "I was enjoying too much of this week to take photos" weeks, but instead it was more an "I didn't leave my bed too much because of a stupid cold" kind of week.
