Christmas List - Number 1

Lists... Some thing I cannot live without. I make lists for shopping, things to do and of course, this time of the year, a Christmas Wish list!

So, number 1 on my Christmas Wish list for this year:

In 2006 I won a trip to London via my work and thought it would be nice to see Paris too while I am in the vicinity. So with an Internet special that included return Euro star tickets and a free lunch we "jetted" off to Paris for the day. The French were VERY unfriendly, but the view from the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and all the amazing shops made up for that. Can't remember the name of the make up shop we ended up in, but it was huge! We spent 1 hour in that place and I walked out with a Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick. One of the best make up buys EVER. I use it on my cheeks as well as eyes. And as you can see below, it lasts for ages.

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact in Bronze 

Yes, I need a new one!

What is on your Christmas list? 

Dear Santa...

... I want all of them please!

But if I had to choose... The Sea Turtle will do.

Love, LOVE the Limited Edition Estee Lauder Collectible Fragrance Treasures. They are filled with solid perfume and are Estee Lauder's favourite fragrances.

The do cost an arm and a leg, but aren't they exquisite?

Home Sweet Home

Arrived back on Saturday afternoon and I cannot tell you how glad I am to be back home again!

Some quick thoughts...

... it's been raining here since Saturday, so the farmer couldn't take pics of the outfit I wore to Eloise's party(as soon as the weather is better I will do a post!)
... If you are ever in Stellenbosch, DO pop in at Boost Surf Shop, Eikestad Mall.
... I am still hating the Stellenbosch traffic department with a passion(spent two hours there on Thursday and still do not have my license disk. It expired on 30/10/2010!!!
... glad to tell you that I found the perfect black Maxi at Woolies. It has removable straps so can also be worn as a boob tube(See pic below)
... The Tangle Teezer is the best thing since sliced bread. Love it!!!
... I can  recommend Meloncino Restaurant in the V&A Waterfront for the best pizza's in town!
... Payday must come REAL soon. Cape Town is NOT cheap.
... met the coolest bloggers and twitter friends at the party: Natali, Cameron Arendse, @BrettSoulman @djmixi @dlrphotography @dom_deidda @FashionJazz @joe4shine  @NatalieBBecker , Reyjeane
... after Friday Night: "I don't do pink drinks anymore"! Had a whopper headache on Saturday. Believe me, driving 260km with a hangover is not fun!!

Sadly, I only took one photo at the party...Good news is that Jasna took some pics and might be posting them on her blog soon.
