Christmas Lights

Christmas countdown: 5 days!

Soooooo close!

♥

Hiya!

One of my favourite things about Christmas is the lights. The way they make houses look so magical... I love seeing the different colours, and when there's a gorgeous arrangement (such as lights wrapped around fences, which you'll be seeing a lot of!) I just want to stay staring at them forever.

Also, you have no idea how hard it is to take photos at night without a tripod, in the rain.

Or maybe you do. Maybe it's a hobby of yours...

Oh well, enjoy!

Aperture - f/4, Exposure - 1/30 sec, ISO - 800

It's a bush, by the way. I know, terrible photo...but can we just take a moment to admire these colours?

My favourite :)

For those interested, I painted my nails recently.

Don't stare at my claws for too long - they will haunt you in your sleep!

The purple colour I used is No7's Stay Perfect in Damson Dream. It's a very rich plum colour (I found out today that a damson is a fruit similar to a plum), and it's beautiful.

I love you

QI Event & London Christmas Lights

Hiya!

I went to a Waterstones event a few days ago, at the great Piccadilly store. It was a QI talk, where John Lloyd (the founder of QI) and the QI Elves told us about the idea of the show, how it started, what they do, and gave us a sneak preview of facts from the next series 'N'. There was also an audience quiz, a guy won the prize of various items of cool merch.

It was really fun!

I got a book - 1,234 QI Facts to Leave You Speechless - and had it signed by Lloyd and almost all the Elves.

After the event, my friends and I browsed the books, squealing and sighing over the gorgeous clothbound classics (they looked gorgeous).

We're such nerds ;)

Anyway, we decided (at 9:30 pm, mind) to take a long route to the Underground so that we could see the Christmas lights on Regent Street and Oxford Street.

It was well worth it.

I like this one :)

Heehee, couldn't resist :P

I love you
