Things have been a little quiet on Jessthetics recently. I've been working full-time as a Christmas temp, trying to finish off homemade presents and getting ready to move back to York in January - I forgot how much hassle it is to find somewhere to live! I've not had much time to sit down with my computer and blog. My Christmas day was lovely and relaxed - exactly what I needed (especially since

I know disco pants are a little dated, but I love mine so I'm going to wear them anyway. These trousers were my go-to trousers to wear to Willow (a grimy, cheesy club in York) but since I rarely go out now, I've incorporated them into my day-time wardrobe!

I know a lot of people like to have their christmas shopping done by now, but if like me you're less organised than that, here are some homemade christmas gift ideas from my archives.

The Nutcracker has a special place in my heart. Before I moved to York, my mum and I went to see it every year before christmas. The music is lovely, and the dancing is incredible, but my favourite part of the ballet has always been the costumes and the scenery. The moment when the toys from under the christmas tree come to life and the tree grows is my favourite thing I've seen in a theatre ever.
