Christmas Before and After

BEFORE

AFTER

Okay so I know my 'Before and After' features are usually of people's faces, but in the spirit of all things festive (and as it is Christmas Eve), I thought I'd make this one a bit more tree-shaped. You like?

Christmas Activities

Ah I love the Christmas holidays; the smell of the tree, the constant munching ('Muuuummm where's the chocolate?!') the chance to watch Come Dine With Me on repeat (until everything narrator Dave Lamb says makes you chuckle helplessly). It's all good. Sometimes, though, it can get a little, well, samey. Here are some Christmas TV-alternatives I like to experiment with:

1. Stroke/cuddle/coo at the dog. He's unnaturally glossy because of this all of this additional affection.

2. Draw on the front cover of magazines which are lying around. I'm actually really proud of this doodle that I did on Sofia Coppola's face/arm.

3. Annoy Mum by getting involved in her festive baking. I made this unintentionally Simpsons-like creature. We made traditional angel and star shapes too but these have mostly been eaten (dunking them in tea is very, very satisfying).

Ho Ho Ho: Attack of the Santa Clones

Another year, another party. This time we celebrated Christmas with a big old bash entitled 'Attack of the Santa Clones' the rules? Everyone had to dress as the main man and, for the most part, everyone did. Here are few (carefully selected, friends) pictures.

Favourite festive joke of the evening?

Q. What's the difference between Tiger Woods and Santa Claus?
A. Santa stops after 3 ho's

Happy Christmas and a Stylish New Year

It's that time of year again: the turkey has been devoured, some presents ridiculed and all of the booze in the house consumed. Forgive me for not updating as regularly recently - in the new year I intend to maintain a little better! February fashion week is fast approaching and with it an expected plethora of parties and fashion...

In the meantime, enjoy your break, however you are enjoying it and I'll see you for a fresh start in the new year. I will mostly be working on: buying as much as (humanly) possible in the January sales (expect updates!), getting thinner, quitting smoking, being nicer, falling in love and just generally self-improving - always 'styling it up' to the maximum.

Enjoy the rest of 2008,

Bianca
