where have i been?!

(An outfit shot from last week, and my favourite perfume has still not run out and a close up detailing of my dance dress since I got a question recently of what it was made out of) 

The last few days have been a frenzy of packing, planning and conjuring up ideas for my new room -- all for the big move on Saturday. I think plenty of my excitement to move house has been temporarily misplaced with frustration as there is just so much to do. My room is a sorry sight, with all of my precious belongings hidden away behind the taped tops of cardboard boxes. I keep entering my room thinking I can pull something out (such as my craft box) but then realising that it is hidden beneath the colossal manifesto of "things" in one of the many cardboard boxes that now line my bedroom wall.

And, it is the 12th of December today, and we still have no decorations up! Mum says there wouldn't be any point considering we'd have to take it down anyway... so I've been blasting as many festive tunes as I can manage to get into the spirit. Christmas is honestly my favourite time of year. It's one of the only times in the year when my family of seven can all gather together. Each year on the eve, we head to a great mass and all the families come together and we sing carols, then we head home and leave cookies, carrots and milk for Santa and his reindeer, then we all snuggle into our beds to dream of sugar plums!! (lol jokes, this year I'll be dreaming of perfume, clothes and candles, hehe)

I'm really sorry about the lack of posting around here lately. You've probably been checking Avenue M and wondering where I am! I can't promise to keep up the consistency over the next week but I'll try. I can't wait to show you guys my new room once we move! Have a brilliant week ♥ I'm off to watch Home Alone 1 & 2 with my sisters, some hot chocolate (because this weather is wonderfully rainy) and some popcorn.
