Nottingham Christmas Markets

I went into Nottingham earlier this week and every year they have some really pretty markets in the main 'market square'. There's loads of log style cabins selling food, hand made items and toys. And they have an ice rink in the middle. 

I actually went to look for some Christmas presents but couldn't find much. Notts Christmas markets aren't massive but you can find some nice bits. 

Anyway, I took a few pictures and I thought I'd share them with you.

A London Adventure

Over the weekend, myself and 2 friends decided to plan a last minute trip to London. We've all just recently just graduated so as a celebration had planned to go back to our uni city - Sheffield. But as we left it til Friday (very us) to book things, we worked out it'd cost us similar amounts to go up north and down south. 

So the genius idea of London came up! And honestly it was the best day and a half which I thought I'd share with you. 

We booked a place about 20 mins from central London near Canary Wharf. 

Graduation OOTD

So yesterday I officially became a Sheffield Hallam graduate. Despite the stupid rain (thanks Sheffield the one day it had to rain), it was a pretty magical day. The ceremony in particular seems to drag on when you're there but the whole day just flies by in a flash. 

I've shared some pictures on Instagram but I thought I'd do a little ootd post as well.

Christmas Gift Ideas

I'm not sure if it's too early to mention the C word but I'm going to anyway. I walked into Boots the other day and was definitely impressed with their Christmas gift boxes and collections. And so the idea of doing a gift ideas post popped into my head. 

Boots

Let's start with the place I just mentioned. Boots have a brilliant selection of Christmas gifts from classics like perfume/aftershave gift sets to a Nandos gift. They even have a mixed selection of teas set. I've just found they seem to have more selection this year. 

I found some little stocking fillers like bath bombs, socks, lip balms and more. These would even be great put together to make a bigger present. They have a 3 for 2 offer on most of their standard Christmas gift sets. But sometimes they do one-off offers so you might be lucky and catch one of them.
