Piece of Me #13: It's December, This Month I Love...

A little later than planned (flippin' flu!) here's what I'm loving this month!

Check Anne Hathaway out, she's looking red hot in a shoot for Stella.
And she's not the only one. In a run down of the year's style icons, Emma Watson is effortless in white - expect even bigger things from the Burberry muse in 2011.
Skull and crossbone nail tattoos are inspiring my inner rock chick this week... once I'm recovered I think I'll give them a go!
And finally, the outfit I'm lusting over at the moment - sequinned maxi skirt, and striped silk, January's paycheck perhaps?!
P.S. You'll see a snippet about Peep Show at the bottom, if you've not seen it already you should seriously consider catching it. A favourite of my brother and I...
"Frosties are just cornflakes for people who can't face reality."

Piece of Me #11 At Home With The Hollis'


The perks of living at home!


When I first realised that I would be living at home- after getting a job in Lincolnshire —the idea certainly took some getting used to...


For starters I feared that it would ruin the great relationship I have with my parents, and after three years of doing it alone up in Newcastle, I wasn’t sure I could go back to the pesters of “where are you going?”and “when will you be back?”...

I just couldn’t decide whether having my bedroom cleaned and my dinner cooked would outweigh the potential strain that might develop between the three of us.

However — even though Lincolnshire isn’t the most buzzing place in the world — I can safely say that coming home to Roge and Barbs is not quite as daunting as I thought it would be, and I find myself appreciating their company, savouring the tastes of some delicious suppers, and not an electricity or heating bill in sight!

An open fire, a plentiful fridge, and most recently a beautiful advent calendar...

Maybe I don't have it so bad...
