I'm not sure how this constitutes as a "Mommy Monday" post but I suppose it relates to me...and I am a mom...see how I made that work? Yes very creative, I know! I got a lot of requests when I asked on Twitter what kind of a video you wanted to see from me to do a "What I Got for Christmas" post so here's what I got! I should add that this does not include any other gifts from my extended family as this was our first year spent by ourselves and we haven't exchanged presents yet. So this is what I got from Jonathan/Santa and myself ;)
First up was my MacBook Air complete with a pink skin. I love this!! This was my big present from Jonathan as my old laptop's screen was smashed and he knows that one of my goals for the year is to do a lot more with my blog. I needed something light, portable and easy to use. This is the 13" MacBook Air with a Tech21 Impact Snap Case in Pink.
Next up was my grey pencil skirt with a silver zip detail from Michael Kors. I got this as part of my Christmas outfit which, if you've been keeping up with my blog over December you will have seen me wear in this post. I bought this with the intention of it becoming a staple in my wardrobe as I feel like it's something I can wear over & over with different shirts/blouses/jumpers and it could be quite versatile.
The other item I got was a blueish grey oversized jumper with a metallic thread running through it from By Malene Birger. This is an absolutely gorgeous piece that I'm so excited about...it's such a cosy jumper that you can dress up or down and style lots of ways, either casual with jeans & boots or glammed up with a shirt & pencil skirt like how I wore it on Christmas Day.
Last but not least is my black winter coat from Reiss which I dedicated an entire blog post to last week! This was definitely an investment buy but I tend to keep quality items in my wardrobe for years & years so I think it was worth it. It's a timeless, collarless coat in a classic colour with hidden buttons which makes it very streamlined & understated so you can pair it with anything!
I love it.
Here is the video I filmed on what I got for Christmas if you guys would like to watch! From now on I am going to be uploading weekly videos on my channel every Monday at 7pm, so stay tuned!
That coat is gorgeous and I love the jumper!

You've got awesome presents :) I like the blueish grey jumper the most, it's very nice piece of clothing and it really suits you :)
ReplyDeleteI love Marlene Birger. It is a popular (and expensive hehe) brand here in Scandinavia. I got myself a lovely purse from the Marlene Birger january sales today and it makes me happy that you dress in her clothes Anna!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking everywhere for a case for my laptop! I've got a slip thing to carry it in, but it gets so dirty with finger marks and all that when I take it out and use it so might check out that case you've got! Lovely post and also loved your video Anna :) Em xxx

I love watching the what I got for Christmas videos! As for video suggestions it would be fun to see you and Jofus do some challenge videos this year, although I understand that may be a bit difficult to get them done with the kiddies running around :P Happy new year to you and your beautiful family! xx
ReplyDeleteYay for more blogs! Which means more WIAW!! Because of that, thanks Joffee! HAHA! Looking forward for more of your blogs Anna =)
ReplyDeleteI also got a new laptop for Christmas this year, I love the case you have on yours, it looks extremely practical! I should probably invest in a case like yours because i'm always worried that I might bump mine and it'll scratch. Great post!

Hi Anna! What is the case that you have on your MacBook air? I have the same computer and am on the hunt for a new computer case!! Love yours. Merry Christmas and happy New Year!

Oooo I love that jumper!

I love that coat!
ReplyDeleteI always say that if you can afford it, or even just can afford to save up in my case, to buy more expensive but classic, high quality clothes... do it. It WILL last longer, it's better for the environment... and it's so expensive you'll most likely use it more.
Such a cute MacBook!!!! <3
ReplyDeleteLoving the new blog Anna and the coat and skirt are so cute.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely love a Macbook for my blogging and photography, Jonathan treated you well!

Great post. I bought myself a Macbook Air for Christmas too. It's my first Macbook so I'm looking forward to using it! :)

Such cool gifts, you definitely deserve them! I really like your style and I've been totally into the monochrome trend lately, so everything you got is right up my alley! :)

Very classic pieces! I am sure they are worth the investment. I would love a video about styling outerwear. We all have only so many outerwear pieces but I feel like outfits fall apart there. In Berlin we spend so much of the year in coats. :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful jumper/sweater and coat...all lovely gifts!! Thanks for sharing them all with us.
ReplyDeleteI love the pink case!!

Happy new year! I loved the style of videos you did over the summer that included your outfit, what you're eating, and a bit about your day.
ReplyDeleteJonathan was really nice to give you a macbook!
ReplyDeleteI love how he supports you and your interests and aspirations (in this case the blog)!
Plus, the pink case was just too cute! Ha ha
