We Wish: Merry Christmas

This peach is wishing you a merry, merry Christmas! 

We wish you happy holidays and may all your wishes for the upcoming year come true. I myself will be gliding down some mountains around that time of year, so I won't be around to extend those wishes myself then. 

Chase your dreams, prosper, laugh and do something good for somebody else everyday! 

We Wear: Jolly jumper

With T-minus a week for Christmas to arrive, my holiday spirits are going in overdrive. Visiting numerous Christmas markets (Cologne, in a cave in Valkenburg, my beloved Leuven...), buying the prettiest ornaments in the history of mankind, putting up the Christmas tree and in one smooth sweep adding so many other decorations you may fancy yourself in good ol' Santa's house himself, is all part of the deal for people in my surroundings. Sorry not sorry. 

However, finding the perfect outfit for the numerous celebrations can be a hassle in these busy times, but an important aspect nevertheless. Granted, not nearly as important as family, love and .... well, presents (Guilty as charged: I love both giving and receiving gifts). Still, I have to admit that I love dressing up and view it is an inherent part of Christmas - on approximately the same level as adding cinnamon on everything and everywhere. 

This time I wanted to try something a little different: a celebratory outfit with a serious comfortable nod. Do you think I succeeded in this party/comfy mix?

Jump(er) for Christmas

Aah, those jolly good times are near again. Festive blinking lights, Christmas tunes, and loads of sweets and delicious food. What is not to love, right? (Except too many freakin' people EVERYWHERE - Excuse me, that is my 'In desperate need of some time off of work' desire talking). I've been bumping my Christmas feeling already for weeks. Those who follow me on Instagram might have noticed/gotten annoyed by this already (username: sneilorak). Seriously, is there a better way to submerge in an instant Christmas feeling than by wearing an awesome Christmas jumper? 

Yes, getting my hands on a Christmas jumper was one of my already (in)famous quests, and I've been wearing it to bits these past two weeks. Because a) it's Christmassy, b) it has a pinguin on it and c) not just any pinguin, but a CHRISTMAS pinguin. And I have got to get all the wear out of it I possibly can because wearing a Christmas jumper in February or March might just come off as a bit silly. Or rebellous cool. I'm still in doubt. 

I cannot wait for it to be Christmas eve and to finally unwrap my presents. I even put a present for myself from myself underneath the tree, because I fancy the unwrapping so much. I deeply apologise for my excitement, apparently I tend to get quite carried away about numerous things. ("It cannot be your 'best time of the year, Karolien, because you already said that was Halloween". Booh.)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, DEAR READERS!
