I know.
I know.
I love Christmas, okay? My family and friends always gaze at me in aghast horror when I mention Christmas this early on in the year but in my line of work I'm about six months to a year ahead of everyone else - we're already considering next summer - so to me it's totally normal to be discussing the festive season when July is in full swing. Thankfully I am not alone in this, as this is the perfect time for brands and stores to start previewing their Christmas delights, and I was lucky enough to visit the House of Fraser preview on Thursday - which incidentally turned out to be one of the hottest days of the year so far!
Despite the heat and humidity I feel the House of Fraser team did a wonderful job transforming their showrooms into a haven of festive spirit, with stunning decorations (so breathtaking, they deserve a post all of their own!) and heaps of beautiful trinkets and dresses - oh, the dresses... There were a couple by Untold including the black shift with the gorgeously detailed sleeves that I would love to find a home for in my wardrobe!
Typically I was captivated by the beauty products on display, with artfully arranged perfume bottles and some gorgeous palettes that I am quietly coveting. Is it too early to start my Christmas list?! If Santa could just pop that Creme de la Mer Sculpting collection giftset in my stocking I would be so pleased... And a few of the Michael Kors purses would not go amiss - how cute is the teeny cat purse?

Overall it was such a delight wandering around the various displays and although I am loving my summer brights at the moment there is a part of me now hankering after witchy dark hues and sequins - I promise I'm not wishing the summer away but there's just something about autumn and winter that I can't wait for! And I just can't resist a good Christmas jumper...
Now I could go on and on about the amazing decorations and themes that the HoF team put so much work into... And I will, albeit in a separate post as I ended up taking more photographs of the trees and decorations than anything else - what can I say, I just adore Christmas and am so excited to try and replicate some of the looks in my home this year!
I hope you've enjoyed this and let me know if you love Christmas as much as I do, or if you just find it startling to be discussing the holiday season before most of us have even ventured on a summer holiday!
Love Dani
