So a big happy Christmas to everyone and one and all. Hope you have all had an amazing past few days with lots of laughs. I have been so busy with my home photography studio - last minute christmas portrait shoots and running around trying to get them printed for clients right. But I always try and make some things as there is nothing like abit of a homemade feel to christmas, another rule that I have is the Tree and the wreath have to be real - no fakes here! I love the smell of a real tree, to me that is the smell of Christmas. One of the other things that is great about this time of the year is you can get up and have a champagne breakfast and no one looks twice mmmm I love champagne in the morning. Here are a few snaps from the past few days - including a sneak peek at Johns new Ralph Lauren jacket which will be in an outfit post soon.

mmmmm orange juice and South African sparkling wine at 8am is the best

Homemade Gift tags....they are so quick and easy to make and make me oh so happy

I love my real wreath...the prettiest on the street

Home made bunting chillin with the Run DMC dolls

I have always been a fan of the french fashion house that is Chloe, founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion, the lady also responsible to coining the term Pret-a-Porter. I love labels that have history and it's such a long-standing brand that always moves well with the times and creates creative, chic and classic looks. I think there spring looks are amazing and make me long to be french, these are my fav picks and I want them all.....

Love this Maxi

So to sort of tie in with the post below about Ben Sherman - and please note this is in no way a sponsored post - I am just so lovin my sons new Ben Sherman fishtail parker jacket for 12-18months, a gift from his grandmother, it's seriously like a mini adults one and so well made. He walks really proudly in it and looks like such a stylish little boy.

Mr A wears Ben Sherman Parka, Miniclub jeans, Timberland tee and Clarks shoes.

So the one thing about the cold and christmas I do love is the german stalls in Cardiff, a place where you can warm up with a german sausage and Mulled Wine (mmmm yum yum I love Mulled wine) So first really xmas day caught on instagram

So Ben Sherman is one of those quintessential British brands that has been around forever, but there web presence has been somewhat hit and miss, but they have launch a new site that's all slick and shiny. They seemed to have dropped their women's clothes (from the website anyway) and broaden their mens collections and accessories. I have to say we are super impressed with their current look book and thought we would share the love with our fav picks

So John has gone full out with handle bars for Movember love. As he put it the other day to me - Prostate Cancer is the Male's Breast cancer - it's such a worth while cause!

All men secretly want moustaches so this is the perfect time to do that

I show my support in a different way - by drinking it - saw this bottle in tescos and had to have it

So the nice peeps over at Vera shoes kindly asked me to shoot some images of their new hiking boot range for winter and John and I jumped at the chance, I mean who wouldn't want to wander around the woods in really cool shoes. The founder Neil Morris, a welshman and former owner of Droogi, a store that was for a while Johns 2nd home, being one of the only shops in Cardiff which stocked Vintage Levi's, 6876 label, Duffer Of St George, Edwin Jeans and Red Wings to name a few. Vera shoes are made in Spain and are individual, original and high quality and they also do womens shoes. They had a really amazing range of Espadrilles for summer and now have these super slick hiking boots for winter. Here are some of my favourite picks from the shoot.
