Liberty Christmas

Apologies, another Christmas related post. I can't help myself, I love the build up almost as much as I love the event itself. So, if you don't share this thought... look away now!

I took a couple of days off work at the end of this week and visited London for the day. I think I misjudged the size of my to-do list against what I could realistically fit in . I aIways forget the amount of time it takes to actually get around London.

However, I still managed to spend my money - no surprises there. And I'm sure I'll be sharing my purchases with you at some point.

But in the meantime, I wanted to share with you the sneaky pics I took in my favourite department store, Liberty. What better way to get even more into the Christmas spirit, by looking around their Christmas shop and windows.

I adore Liberty's decorations. They really do know how to do it right. Can't wait to get back to London in Dec. (where I plan on doing all my Christmas shopping). I think most department stores end up taking it too far with the holiday decor and it just ends up blinding me.

And I'm all for the run-up to Christmas. Just unpacked all the baubles and tinsel!
