Olivia Colman in that jumpsuit! She is gorgeous, but it's not just that - it's acknowledging that you don't have to be tall and skinny to look glamorous. Love it.

I'm not sure how I feel about the John Lewis ad - I like the idea but am not sure they nailed it for me!

Doesn't Olivia look amazing? And I TOTALLY agree with you, 100000%! πŸ’– Re: the John Lewis ad, great to hear your takeβ€”it's definitely different, and super-interesting to hear everyone's responses (tradition!!!πŸŽ„πŸ˜„) My all-time favourite is one from the noughties (I think?!), with the couple sneaking the dollhouse up into the loft! 😭 XXXX

Well, now I need a hot pink cardigan a la Julia. πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ Nicole Kidman has been incredible in her latest shows and movies. She seems to be in her prime. And that pink pantsuit is gorgeous!

Sandraaaa!! SO lovely to hear from you, how are you?! I was just wondering how you're doing this week, and I've just seen you've posted to Sandrapopβ€”off to read later! πŸ™ŒπŸ’— I love that hot pink on Julia, too, and those beachy waves (never can get the same effect. But then, I don't have Serge Normant on hand!). SO lovely to hear from you, I'm so happy you dived in here, thank you!! XOXO

Olivia Coleman is fabulous in her jumpsuit, she totally owns it, and so much more relatable than super-slim NK. Can’t wait to get some of these Christmassy scented candles - delish!

Isn't it incredible?!✨✨ I'd never come across the label before, and my jaw dropped when I looked at the website. It was so different and SO cool. (Sidnote: Can you get Strictly in the U.S.? πŸ’ƒπŸ»πŸ•ΊπŸ») Thank you so much for reading, and yes, Olivia Colman!! πŸ’–

Love the advert, won’t see that in the US, but it was fun and crazy and good probably even better if you have a sister of your own ❀️

Oh that's so interesting, thanks so much for sharing that, Lisaβ€”the John Lewis ad has become something of a British institution πŸ˜†, and it's very much a "have you seen it yet? Discuss!!" kind of thing on the day. It's got that way with other store Christmas ads, so they all tend to get compared and contrastedβ€”do you have specific ads for stores on TV in the holidays? Actually, I read that the John Lewis ad is a bit like the Super Bowl ad spot on your side of the pond, in terms of the buzz around it! Thanks so much for reading and sharing! πŸ’–
