Hi all, on Friday I went to a "mid-winter Christmas party" at my friend's house. For us ex-pats in the Southern Hemisphere winter is a very strange time. We're used to holidays like Halloween, Guy Fawke's and Christmas to break the cold months up, but here in New Zealand winter is just WINTER!
So it's common for ex-pats to have a mid-winter Christmas, and as we like any excuse for a party, we jumped on the band wagon!
So I have three outfit shots - excuse the poor quality, my camera is too fancy for its own good and neither I nor the bf know how to use it :( Stupid camera!

| Trousers, Valley Girl, Shoes, Zara; Blouse, Primark; Faux Fur Jacket, Tempt; Leather gloves, Primark. |
Yes, that's right, I am wearing TROUSERS!! Wow!! I bought them last week as I am fed up of always wearing dresses!
 |
| My friend had borrowed chairs and tables from work to accommodate us all! |
 |
| A token tree! |
 |
| $5 secret santas :D |
 |
| She had made us crakers from SCRATCH and printed out funny faces of the boys |
 |
| And nice ones of the girls! |
 |
| My fab secret santa prize - I do love a cup of tea!! |
Now I can't wait for the REAL Christmas!!

ReplyDeleteI remeber when I was in Korea and it snowed during Christmas - it was AWESOME but it also seemed kind of weird to me:P
