George Secret Santa Swap

I go absolutely bonkers for Christmas and very little excites me more than a gift swap Secret Santa style so when I was invited to take part in George at Asda's Secret Santa, I was over the moon!

Each of us were given another blogger to buy for and sent off to stalk our giftee, picking their gifts from the extensive range at George. Then came the wait as the elves packed up everyone's goodies and sent them on their way. The jolly postman left me hanging and made a surprise 6pm delivery a week later.


I'll just shoosh and show you what I got shall I?

I adore this package! It has a gorgeous cushion and matching tealight holders. (I don't know if the colour coordination was intentional but I like to think it was.) There's also a Maybelline Red Siren set which I am really looking forward to trying this Christmas. You can never go wrong with all the red! I was also sent an AMAZING scented large candle. It's Baylis & Harding in Midnight Fig and Pomegranate and it smells utterly divine. I've not even lit it yet and the scent wafts around the room as you walk in.
And of course, the piece de resistance, the spotty Christmas tree jumper with red sequin stars. I've worn this a few times but I've been a bad blogger and not taken any photos. You'll have to wait for Christmas Jumper Day to see it in all it's glory but I'll tell you now it's bloomin marvelous.

Unfortunately we weren't told who are Santas were but I want to thank them for such a wonderful gift. So if you're reading this, Santa, thank you!

George at Asda: Top 7 Pieces

Yesterday I shared a wishlist consisting of dresses that are difficult to purchase for UK dwellers.

The list made me sad. I was yearning for bold prints and bright colours and not to be beaten I went on a hunt for obtainable, low cost, bold high street fashion on these shores and I didn't have to look far!

George at Asda are, for me at least, the best of the supermarket fashion brands. I admit their new collection of summer clothing even took me by surprise a little. There are some amazing pieces to be had!

I adore the bright colours of spring/summer. The yellow textured blazer is perfect for those slightly chillier summer evenings. There are a few coordinating lemon print pieces available at George just now but the eye-catching lemon print dress and cute cardigan are my favourites.
If youre into mixing patterns, the striped blazer, dotty leggings and cutout brogues could make a stylish outfit if teamed with a bright colour block dress.
And the seaside print dress is just fantastic. I live by the sea so this one is a must for me!

Some of the items listed are flying off their virtual shelves as soon as stock is replenished so be sure to keep a look out for them!

Have you bought anything from George lately? What's your favourite item on the list?
