So today's Christmas tree day, finally! We've copped a feel, made sure it stands tall and picked our winner for this years festivities. It's now leaning proudly against our window while I type away, ready to burst out of it's wrapping and be decorated to the max. I'm a huge Christmas obsessive and get excited every time Decembers rolls around but this year I feel even more excited than usual - tonight I'm determined to continue the pre Christmas celebrations by putting on Elf (I can't stop saying 'Son of a Nutcracker') and start wrapping my gifts. It's beginning to look (and feel) a lot like Christmas.

 My camel meets leopard ensemble was something I lovingly threw together Saturday for a day of errands while Craig and his dad completed more renovations on our house (it's finally coming together!) There's a few must mentions in my get up and they go to my newly acquired camel maxi coat with faux fur collar, isn't she a beaut? I've been on the hunt for a new camel coat for ages so I was thrilled to find this one in French Connection, particularly on a day when they had 20% off. Other Cagney and Lace virgins are my leopard print Chelsea boots which are an absolute delight, I don't think I've ever bought a pair of boots before that didn't need wearing in - good shout Warehouse. A final holla must go to my charcoal roll neck which is so un-me it's fabulous. Who am I becoming wearing such monochrome outfits? I must confess it makes a nice change to wear less patterned brights and instead buy more basic yet lux pieces. One thing I really must stop wearing though is my black beanie, it really isn't the most flattering headwear around but it's so darn cosy.

 Have you been getting festive this weekend? What do you make of my sombre ensemble?
