It's Winter!

As I'm lying in my bed suffering with the repercussions of winter being upon us, I thought why not do a post on why I love this time of the year!!

I know that sounded REALLY weird, seeing as I just said that I am ill because of it being this time of year - what can I say, I am a bit of an odd one! Anyway, there are several reasons why I like this time of year and I decided to cut it down to 5 reasons! 

1. Christmas displays/windows-  

So as EVERYONE probably knows CHRISTMAS is coming up (stating the obvious!) which is extremely exciting! Stores have already begun to display their Christmas products and started decorating their windows. Seeing as I work on a very flashy road, Kings Road, I get the privilege of seeing some amazing window displays.

I have to say that no-one can beat the Harrods Christmas display, their windows are AMAZING! I went out for dinner with my cousins in Knightsbridge a few days back and I have to say, Harrods looked beautiful all lit up, covered in lights. At that point I was proud to be a Londoner and excited that I could come and see this whenever I wanted (well, I say whenever but I mean its commutable for me!). Now, I've been raving on about this on my Twitter and Facebook for days now and I have to mention it here too! Harrods is going to be doing a Disney Princess window for Christmas - gobsmacked right! It's MAJORLY exciting and I can't wait! I have always been a HUGE fan of Disney and being 22 will make this sound beyond lame but I recently went to see the Disney castle in Florida and it was ACTUALLY a dream come true!! I was ecstatic when I got to go Florida and most of all DISNEY WORLD!! Yeah ok, I'm talking like I'm 5 buy hey I don't care, I love Disney and I'm proud!!

The Disney Princesses gowns will be designed by famous designers, Versace, Marchesa, Valentino, Escada and Roberto Cavalli, just to name a few. My faves by far are Versace's Cinderella and Roberto Cavalli's Pocahontas - I don't think I even need to say why, see for yourself!

2. Hats and Scarves come out to play 

At this time of year we always get our hats and scarves out, you may have read my last post on Hats which takes you through some hats which I love at the moment. Anyway I love winter hats and scarves, I think they are an awesome accessory and most of all keep you nice and warm. I also love how you can escape a bad hair day or a lazy hair day by sticking a hat on! A massive help to my life, seeing as I never know what to do with my hair and I'm trying to lay off the straighteners to help my hair recover from too much heat exposure. 

3. SNOW  

I think for the past two years or so, we have had a white Christmas in London and I have loved it - I have to admit that when it doesn't stop snowing, I begin to get a little bored of the snow. Also, some people take snow fights a little too far and decide to hit strangers with snow balls - that is NOT fun, so if you do that, stop! Any who I do love snow, I remember when I was younger, I knew snow meant no school so I used to love it. Sadly things change and when you start working its not likely they'll close the company because it's snowing! 

4. It's MY BIRTHDAY! 

Yep December time means MY birthday which is SO exciting !! It means presents for me and the realisation that I'm getting older (that bits not as exciting). I am really excited for my birthday this year, not too sure if i'll do anything to celebrate it but it'll still be great! I will also do a post on the presents I get (So this will be embarrassing if I get nothing!)

5. It's CHRISTMAS BABY! 

Well this means DOUBLE presents for me in December, yipeee!! Christmas is always majorly exciting, my brother, sisters and I have a tradition where we all go to Westfields and then split up, to get each others Christmas presents! It's always really fun because were all trying to work out what each person got for us, while stressing about what to get them. 

Then there's the actual Christmas day, I am usually extremely hungover on that day because Christmas Eve is my cousins birthday and every year she does a big, wild night out. So on Christmas day, I have a funny stomach and a bit of a headache - not even half as bad as my cousin, so I guess I wasn't the one suffering the most. It's also always been a tradition to watching Only Fools and Horses on Christmas day while having a massive feast in my house (Indian and vegetarian though, of course!). The morning is usually the time to open the presents which always ends up being fun! I have now been given title of buying the worst present for my brother, seeing as apparently I brought him a horrendous jumper from Topshop a few years back - but this year I hope to up my game!

These are my 5 reasons why I love this time of year - mostly December! But I would love to know what your reasons are for loving this time of year or, if you're more of a Grinch, why you hate this time of year!
