With Christmas being 4 days away (4 DAYS GUYS, 4 DAYS) I’m making a special effort to do everything I can to get into the spirit (if you’ve been around me recently, the phrase ‘I am SO excited for Christmas’ has probably been thrown about once or twice)- from wearing Christmas jumpers (yup, even to bed), making mince pies (and attempting a fruit cake) and visiting the capitals most festive hideouts.
Now, when living in London- it’s not hard to get into the Christmas mood. This week someone told me ‘Christmas in London is the most underrated in the world’- and I think I’d probably agree. Although the temptation of snoozing on a beach in temperatures ten times warmer than the monsoon outside (slight use of hyperbole there) is second to none, and the idea of spending Christmas morning looking out to Central Park is a little tempting- being curled up in a cosy home, turkey in the oven- is unbeatable. Even if it’s rain pelting the window panes, and not snow.
So, when I was invited along to Next’s Christmas afternoon tea at Brown’s- I jumped at the chance. If the thought of seeing some of my favourite bloggers wasn’t enough, the temptation of turkey and cranberry finger sandwiches certainly was. Not only was the hotel decorated with pine leaves and cinnamon sticks galore- a beautiful Lulu Guinness tree is currently hanging out in the lobby- well worth a snap if you’re in the area! Following a little while gawping at the perfect decor, the whole afternoon was spent indulging in sweet treats, decorating personalised baubles and catching up with some of my favourite ladies- thanks Next for a lovely afternoon!
