It’s been a while! Those of you who also follow me on Instagram, know that the last few weeks have been incredibly hectic and busy. I’ve been all over the place! As I am slowly getting all things sorted before my family arrives for Christmas I have decided to share these preparations with you.
I titled this blogpost “My first Christmas in the new apartment” not because I have just moved in (as I have been here over a year now) but due to travelling last year I did not spent Christmas here, in London. It is extremely special this year not only it’s my first Christmas in my homie, but also because my family is coming over in the next few days and we will spent Christmas together, yay! I am so excited and I have spent the last few weeks shopping and getting everything ready. I wanted to make sure my homie is cute and cosy.
I’d love to show you a little sneak peek of my Christmas homie. Hope you’ll enjoy it as I have never done a home blogpost before (even if I was planning it for ages!)
My absolutely favourite chair from Dunelm. It’s actually a set of two chairs and a side table but I keep them in a separate rooms. This is my favourite spot in my house now!
Here’s the side table from Dunelm that comes together with 2 bamboo egg chairs. And my new flatmate Henry, haha! PS. Found Henry at Home Sense!
I also got these super cute Christmas accessories from Home Sense and a beautiful set of Christmas crackers from Dunelm.
I have been looking for a rustic oak round mirror for ages. I have seen so many gorgeous ones on Pinterest but couldn’t find any I real life, haha! I finally discovered this incredible one at Dunelm! It honestly added an extra space to the hallway! I also found a match oak console table at Wayfair and love how it looks all together!
Christmas chestnuts!
I still need to get few bits and pieces for other rooms but I hope you’ve enjoyed this little sneak peek of my living area where I am spending most of the time when I am home.
As Christmas is slowly approaching (actually pretty fast, haha!) I have decided to write a blogpost and showcase my favourite places in London (where I’ve been living for 6 years now and nope- I am not bored at all, it actually gets more and more exciting here year by year!) I have done a similar post last year but I have discovered new places and wanted to share them with you too!
Churchill Bar at Hyatt Regency London
I have discovered this place last year and the first word that came to my mind to describe it was “oasis”. It’s a perfect escape from London’s noise and crowds. When I first walked in, I fallen in love at first sight. The decor is just stunning and really cosy – a roaring fire, faux fur throws, pine trees and lanterns. Simply magical. If you’re looking for a perfect winter scenery and the most incredible cocktails- Churchill Bar is a place you should visit! Also, if you love sweets, I highly recommend trying their chocolate fondue – OH MY, will never forget this flavour! Not going to lie, it looks fabulous too!
It’s one of the most stunning places I have ever been to! Annabel’s a private club located at 46 Berkeley Street, Mayfair. Until very recently I’ve only heard stories about this place but this last month I was very lucky to be invited for an event there. I can’t even explain the feeling you have when you walk in. Everything is just out of this world! The decor is absolutely gorgeous. My favourite is garden restaurant inspired by the quintessential English Garden. It’s just magical! Also, this time of the year, Annabel’s put up the most incredible Christmas decoration at the entrance. I don’t think London ever seen such a stunning installation before! PS. Don’t be surprised when you get there at 9am and there’s already a line of bloggers with suitcases shooting their outfits, haha. But I mean, how could we possibly miss THIS shot?
That has to be my favourite restaurant not just at Christmas but all year long. But this winter, they got their Christmas decoration to even higher level. Isn’t just the cutest little Gingerbread House? I literally died from excitement when I first saw it! Also, there’s a little box there where you can grab a Christmas candy cane! I just couldn’t resist, ha! Food recommendation- I usually go there for brunch and order avocado on toast with pomegranate seeds! So so good!
Sketch
I have visited this place couple of times already and I think what I love it for the most is their stunning Afternoon Tea at the Gallery. But they’re also famous for their incredible decorations. I passed by recently and when how gorgeous the entrance is I couldn’t resist taking a photo with it!
Covent Garden
This place always get me in a festive mood. I love strolling around with a cup of mulled wine, especially in the evening, ahh! Covent Garden also has all my favourite stores so I love buying Christmas presents there rather than with the entire crazy crowd on Oxford Street! Every season they change the decor and I swear I am in love with every single display. It’s so hard to decide which one was my favourite. Take a peek on how does it look this year! Isn’t gorgeous? Gotta be the biggest Christmas tree I’ve ever seen!
SHOP MY LOOKS
I still have few places on my list tot tick off so hopefully I will add more spots for you soon!
