Happy Holidays!

Just want to say a very quick and late Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Huge thanks to everyone for being such wonderful students and for making my lessons extremely enjoyable! Stay safe throughout the holiday season and get reading and writing before school resumes! Feel free to email me or call me if you have any questions or need some help with study preparation for 2010!

PS: Thanks to everyone who texted me with a 'Merry XMAS' or 'Happy New Year'! It made my night.

Kris Kringle Online.

So the Kris Kringle names are out and it's obviously time to start checking out cheap and chic gifts. Here are my favourite online sites which will have Christmas presents and cheaper than chips Kris Kringle sorted almost instantly!

- www.smiggle.com.au
- www.prettyinpink.com.au
- www.apple.com/itunes
- www.amazon.com/au
- www.thebodyshop.com.au
- www.toysonline.com.au
- www.sweetstems.com.au

So, a reminder that the budget is $10 and gifts should be wrapped/packaged/well presented with a Christmas card as it is just a polite thing to do. I hope no one gives their K.K a gift in a white Big W bag or whatnot as I will scream! Enjoy!

Another tip for the ladies this time!

Sorry for being so random with the whole XMAS craziness, I just can't help it...and know that you all secretly love it. Anyways, to all of my lovely female students who had no idea what to put on their Christmas wishlists or just any wishlist, in general, let me introduce you to the fabulous world of luxury heels. You can stop reading as of now, if it really seems like a bore. So here's my story: I was just browsing the sites for some new things to buy (actually let's call it 'online window shopping') and I came across these magnifique heels which I think some of my girly year nine students will absolutely adore. They are the cutest little heels ever and (if you do get them) it will be your first taste of the high life to come! I'm not sure if you know the designer Vivienne Westwood? Well, Vivienne Westwood is like one of Britain's most ahhhh-mazing eccetric designers who has dressed absolutely everyone (that needs to be dressed) and she's collaborated with Aussie shoe label, Melissa, in a creating the ultimate pair of girly chic heels which come at an affordable yet luxe price! These heels are so Alice in Wonderland-whimsical and timeless and I'm pretty sure your parents will let you get away with it! And if your parents don't let you get them, try saving your cash up. Seriously, a good $20 something a week saved, is money you can further spend later (on these shoes, of course!) My favourite is the Melissa/Vivienne Westwood 'Lady Dragon' heels in fuschia.
These will seriously be the best thing you'll ever buy to end 2009 and will take you from the Summer Christmas season to the parties, weekends, weddings, dinners and New Years instantly. Such an affordable investment piece. Anyhow, I have finished my ranting and hope you all heart the heels even if they didn't directly tickle your fancy...or you are in denial.

Check out frockaholics.com for more heels. I'm thinking of writing a separate shoe blog. Keep your eyes opened for it. Please comment or email me if you're interested.

Christmas Treats for the ladies.

I am pretty sure I just made girly Christmas shopping for the boys (to buy for girls), a whole lot more easier. I am absolutely head over heels in love with this very tres chic range of delectable yet affordable designer chocolate by Jessica Walker. With chocolate designs ranging from a chic pair of chocolate stillettos or miniature handbags to designer chocolate cracker sets, Jessica Walker chocolates feature as a wonderful choice for a deliciously sentimental Christmas gift idea. The Jessica Walker signature "medium shoes in tube" chocolate is available for a generous price of just $11.84. That's a treat that's good enough to eat. Now I know what's on my list this festive season. Available at department stores, Big W, Target and online.
