Every year, I hunt for the perfect Christmas dress and every year it usually comes in the form of a super soft velvet number. This year ASOS gave me the goods in the form of this gorgeous Royal Blue Velvet Skater Dress. It's the dreaaaam and an absolute steal too.

I wanted to shoot this outfit in one of my favourite places in London, especially at Christmas time, Covent Garden. If you haven't there to see their incredible christmas decorations, you need to visit soon, pick up a flaky pastry and a hot chocolate from Aubaine or some delicious macaroons from Ladurée and enjoy the boutique shops, festive stalls and christmassy vibes.
Huge baubles, giant mistletoe and Ginormous disco balls galore, it's so beautiful and impossibly not to feel festive!

I feel amazing in this dress, it's flattering and perfect for Christmas. I usually pair it with a skinny belt to cinch it in at my waist, black tights and a pair of heeled boots - a festive red lip goes perfectly too! It's super affordable at only £25, so it's a huge bargain too.
It's still available on ASOS, you can get your hands on it here. (I'm also SO tempted by this gorgeous Oxblood one too)

It's getting so close to Christmas, what do you like to wear on Christmas Day?

Slap bang in the middle of a day of fashion and art exhibitions, we wanted burgers.
Serious burgers, not just any old thing.
That's when we discovered Five Guys...
We flicked between Shake Shack or Five Guys in Covent Garden, but the hour long queue for Shake Shack decided it for us, and, boy did it give us a gooden'.
We queued for not even five minutes with peanuts to snack on if we wanted.
I opted for the cheeseburger with lettuce, ketchup, tomatoes, grilled onions & pickles (A burger isn't a burger without them...). All the extras for no extra cost. Charlie went for a Bacon Burger and we shared a regular chips between us.
The food prepared in front of your eyes, quickly and sufficiently with the orders flying in every few seconds.
Order number yelled & brown bags in hand we found a table & discovered the drinks machine with an unbelievable choice of drinks.
We had Strawberry Sprite, which I'd recommend you try sometime. It was delicious!
This burger. One of the best burgers I've ever had.
It's fast food that doesn't feel extremely unhealthy and greasy. It doesn't leave you with that horrible sluggish feeling.
We devoured ever last bit of our burgers, every last chip and every last drop of our Strawberry Sprite.
Charlie came up with the incredible caption of 'Two Girls, Five Guys' and I had to steal it for the blog post, but props to C for that one!
