February

It is already the last week of 2014, so it is time for some looking back to this year's outfits. Hopefully I will be able to post a few more in 2015!

Hey everyone, it's Grumpy Tat! There is some serious pre-holiday stress going on over here, and at the moment it is hard to see past it all. One of my colleagues is leaving per January to start her first full-time job after graduating from law school last year. Obviously I am so happy for her, but of course this means that the usual end-of-year frenzy at the office is currently even worse (we haven't even had time to put up some Christmas decorations, the horror!).

The last two months I really experienced how difficult it actually is to combine getting your Master's degree with a 3-day job as a paralegal. I feel like all I am doing at the moment is run around all the time. Of course everything will be alright, but I must admit that I look forward to the holidays, if only for some much-appreciated time to breathe!

But of course I am also very much looking forward to Christmas for all the fun reasons as well! Spending time with my family, eating delicious food, and I also had a lot of fun coming up with great Christmas gifts for everybody! Can't wait to show you what I got for my cats (yeah, I am THAT kind of crazy cat lady!) :-D Below is some other stuff that made me happy the last few days:

1) This amazing christmas card!

I am pretty sure it is partly animated, but I would SO buy this for next year if it was a real pop-up card. But 'real' or not 'real', it is still very cool and cute, and worth the watch!

2) This journal

I am not much of a diary person, but I really like the concept of this Q&A a day five-year journal, so I think I'll give it a try. It will probably be a fun read 10-20 years from now!

Modcloth

3) These oh-so comfy slippers

My best friend gave me these super comfy slippers as an early Christmas present, and they have hardly left my feet since!

Oysho

4) The Inside Out trailer

The trailer of the newest Pixar movie, Inside Out, is just hilarious! I can not wait until it opens in cinemas next July.

5) The perfect Christmas dress

This dress from & Other Stories is just the perfect dress for the holiday season. It works both for office parties, a glamorous night out, and even family gatherings, depending on what you accessorise it with.

& Other Stories

And how are your holiday preparations going? Stressing out, or everything under control?

In the run-up to Christmas, I love looking at all the gorgeous party dresses glamorously decorating the windows of all the shops and department stores , the one dress even more perfect for that holiday office party or fancy dinner than the other.... But let's face it: a large part of the Christmas celebrations we spend a lot less glamorous (yet incredibly enjoyable nonetheless) at home with our loved ones, unwrapping presents, watching The Grinch, the Polar Express or Home Alone and stuffing our face with all that delicious Christmas food! But there is no excuse not to do that in style as well, so I gathered in this post several pieces that I think are just too cute not to wear this Christmas ;-)

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you had a great weekend! Today Part II of the Tatiana's Delights' Holiday Gift Guide.

We all have that person in our lives that is the epitome of chic with minimal effort (or you are that person of course), and it can be quite difficult to find a perfect, yet affordable gift for someone who makes 'quality over quantity' their way of life. Hopefully the suggestions in today's gift guide might be of some use there!

I love COS! Their products are always so simple and elegant, yet with an interesting twist. Take this wool jumper for example. Just can just pair it with a pair of jeans and flats and you are good to go!
If the above mentioned outfit is still a bit too plain, this pair of matte gold bar earrings will be the perfect metaphorical cherry. At only €15 they are a great stocking stuffer!
With its beautiful simple packaging, everything from L.A. Bruket makes a great gift for a friend or family member with minimalist style. This handsoap smells great too!
In the book Remote Places To Stay you can find a collection of 20 hotels and lodges in remote places in the most breathtaking nature around the world. Perfect travel inspiration for those seeking simplicity when abroad.
This copper colored metal bangle is another great option from COS.
The current it-watch among the blogging community is somewhat less affordable, but I just could not not include it here. I am in love!
I could also hardly not include something from Everlane in this gift guide, as this label is the absolute epitome of minimalist chic. And affordable too! These leather sandals make you wish it was summer again.
This distressed leather tote, handcrafted in Ethiopia is not only great quality, but with purchasing it you also directly support the creation of sustainable business in Africa!
An ombre iPhone case... Need I say more?
The it-perfume for everyone with a Pinterest addiction not only smells good, but comes in an amazingly chic and simple bottle that looks great on every dressing table!
Marble is hot hot HOT at the moment, so this S'well bottle really is a no-brainer...

So, that's it for today! Anything you are going to add to your own wishlist? My personal favourites are 1, 6 and 9, but to be honest: I WANT IT ALL! :-P
