Firstly, Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you’re all ready and excited for the holiday! It’s been a crazy week for me actually and not one that was ideal leading up to Christmas. It started with the bad cold that I had and told you about, which then led to an awful cold sore which I got on Saturday, just as I was spending a week with Adam. A week with Adam, just before Christmas, and no kissing? It wasn’t great at all. Then because of the cold sore I ended up getting hives as well, and on top of that there’s numerous other things that keep going wrong and are worrying as well. I just hope those situations can sort themselves out as they are out of my control, but it never stops me worrying unfortunately. Now that most of the bad things are out the way, I’m hoping Christmas day might actually be ok, lol.
Anyway, Adam and I shot these Christmas photos a little while ago ready for this blog post! I posted to my social media a couple of times and had you vote for what costume you wanted me to wear this year, which was between my Elf outfit and this Mrs. Santa costume, and this one won! It was lucky that it did actually as I teamed up with American Tourister as well and it was a perfect match. I have their Skytracer 4 Wheel Cabin Baggage Spinner Suitcase in Formula Red. How cool is it? I was definitely doing the job of Mrs. Santa as inside the suitcase were some festive gifts which were perfect for my family. So off I went, delivering my presents in style with my name in glitter and snowflakes across my new suitcase! Doesn’t get more festive than that does it? Maybe it’s an update on Santa’s sleigh! I know I’m going to be using this for my Summer holidays as well as I’ve always wanted a smaller suitcase on wheels.
As I didn’t want to make this outfit the same as the one I did in 2014, I paired it with thigh high boots (similar here) and some tights this time, plus a black choker to give it some edge. I must admit that I did get a few smirks and chuckles from passers by when Adam and I were doing this shoot though, but hey, at least it made them smile! So I wont be posting again until the 28th as I’m taking a few days off for the holidays, but I will be back then with a post on Christmas with photos so I’m sure you will enjoy it. As always, I’m looking forward to your lovely comments. Let me know everything about your Christmas plans! Lorna xx.
P.S. – I saw that ALLSAINTS have 20% off as well, which I’m going to be taking advantage of!
I love this Lorna, your so adorable!! Wishing you and all yours a blessed Christmas. ❤💕

Thanks, Ali!
Lorna, your Santa outfit is adorable… I am glad to hear you made passerby’s smile xox… The suitcase is very cute, I too am looking for one like this as they are so much easier to pull or push then carry 🙂
I wish you a very Merry Christmas, I hope that you will have good and happiness now in the coming year xox
Author
Thank you so much, Launna 🙂 I will stop by soon, I was taking some time off for the holidays!
Lovely photos and a gorgeous outfit! I do hope you feel better and have a break from ill health by tomorrow.
Happy shopping and Merry Christmas to you too! 🙂
Author
Thank you 🙂
Lorna you look totally fabulous as Mrs Santa, and I love this outfit! You’ve accessorised the costume really well to add your own personal touches, and I love the red suitcase with your name on it. This is a very sophisticated Mrs Santa look, and definitely very modern! I love the images and the backdrop, and the details you’ve captured.
I’m sorry to hear of the recent mishaps which caused you a stressful week. I hope you have a lovely Christmas and everything works out. I hope you enjoy a well-deserved break. I’m having a low-key Christmas in London, and I’m excited to have this time off.
Thanks so much for inspiring me throughout this year, not only with your gorgeous outfits, but most of all for being an exceptional person who’s always ready to show compassion to others.
Lots of love Saba xx

That’s so sweet of you, Saba, honestly so kind. That made me smile when I read the last paragraph from you. I really hope you enjoy your holiday off too and it’s always been a pleasure speaking to you this year and getting to know you better, you are a genuinely kind, humble, and thoughtful lady xx.
Gosh that is so sweet of you Lorna! That truly means a lot to me, and I’m appreciative of your constant support and friendship! xx

Thanks, Idu!
As expected, a good job on what would otherwise be a fairly standard outfit.
Also, someone hit my site this week looking for “lorna burford sexy.” He should have come here first.
Author
Thank you! That’s funny you had that search term! I get that one along with a few others that shouldn’t be spoken of, gosh knows what these readers think they’re going to find with some of the terms used, ha ha!
Merry Christmas!

Dear Lorna, first of all, I hope you are feeling better now and get well soon.
Your outfit looks amazing, very christmassy. I do like the carrier bag very much, cool that you’ve personalised it.
If I may ask you I am having two pairs of wellies in mind. One pair are black tall hunters and the other are blue rain boots. What do you think is better for me?
I hope that I haven’t bothered you too much and happy holidays.
Author
Thank you! Very glad you like it!
With regards to the Hunter, are they gloss or matte? That makes the difference for me with black. What do the blue rain boots look like? I think it all depends on what jeans/trousers you would wear most with them?
Thank you Lorna. The Hunter boors are matte, I think. I have a link of them here: https://www.zalando.nl/hunter-original-regenlaarzen-hu112e000-q11.html
The blue boots I saw are these: https://www.regenlaarsexpert.nl/regenlaars-aigle-goeland.html.
I normally wear jeans with them, some dark jeans and light too. I hope you can give me some advice. Thanks so much already.
Author
I definitely much prefer the black Hunter, those are a classic. They look much nicer in shape and style! If you wear a lot of blue denim though, have you looked at navy blue Hunter? I love my navy with my jeans!
Thanks for your reply. I saw blue hunters on asos, but they are sold out at the website of ASOS. I am still trying to look for navy blues online. Hope I can find them somewhere.
Author
Have you tried the Hunter website itself? Does it ship to your location? Where are you based?
Yes, I have just had a look and luckily they have them. They look amazing. I also see that they can be shipped to me. I bette them soon, thanks for your help.

Thank you for the link. Unfortunately, I can’t use the link because I use the EU-part of the website and when I try to log in I automatically get send to the EU and my shopping bag is emptied. Do you have a EU-link for me?
Author
Oh ok, no I don’t think I do have the EU link as I’m in the UK, no worries though!
You look amazing! Really stunning, I loved the Santa outfit! So sorry that you had such a bad cold and especially spending the week with Adam. I hope you are OK by now, boxing day I normally use to relax – so I hope you can relax as well! Loved the boots and the personalised suitcase, and the colour – red is my favourite colour! I wish you and you family a great week AND an even better 2017!

Thank you so much, Denise! I’m so happy you like it!
lol…I love the costume on you. Christmas day was great and boxing day was even better since I got to spend it with my cousin having fun in NYC. However, I am really looking forward to 2017. I hope you got to relax and enjoy the holiday.

You look really pretty in this Santa’s costume, Lorna, red suits to you! What’s more, I love your shoes, they’re terrific 🙂
I wish you an amazing NYE and New Year, dear 🙂
Author
Thank you so much!
It’s a fabulously fun outfit. 😀 I can certainly imagine how hard it was to do this shoot without too much attention as it’s very eye catching. If you’re delivering presents in that suitcase then I imagine it must be bigger inside than outside? 😉
I hope you had a great Christmas. 😀 I’m quite late reading this as I didn’t really look at anything online other than Facebook and Instagram over Christmas.
Author
Ha ha, or maybe I’m a scrooge and was only delivering coal to my loved ones instead? 😀 It’s pretty big inside though, it’s definitely like a Mary Poppins bag!
Oh yes, I remember as a child being told that Santa would bring me coal if I was bad. 😀 It never happened, of course… 😉
Author
Well I’m sure you weren’t bad enough!
So cute !

Your little snow-case is so cute, so perfect for you 🙂 I am a big fan of tights so even this little glimpse of them on you was so wonderful for me. So fun ti imagine seeing the rest of them on those gorgeous legs and beyond. I would especially enjoy seeing your beyond in them as you are sometime kind enough to share in your jeans 😉 These made for such a relaxing, fun treat, dear. Enjoyed them very much. I have so much to catch up on but every time I start I do not last very long 🙂 It is sure fun trying tho!
