If all you ever do with your life is photosynthesize, then you'll deserve every hour of your sleepless nights

I don't own any of these photos, they're just ones I found on the following sites:

So here's to drinks in the dark...

Another Winter is here and once again out come the wools, wellies and hot chocolates, while we wave a mournful goodbye to any trace of warmth. Come on now, it's not all bad. There's the beloved Christmas menus for one, the end of X Factor is nigh, and have you seen that John Lewis advert?! Of course you have (oh cynics, please let us have this one?). So don't despair, there's lots to look forward to this Winter, even if Saturday nights spent in front of the telly with your slipper socks don't appeal to you...which they most definitely should.



TIGHTS

I'm not really sure where this obsession has come from but a simple pair of black opaques just won't cut it any more. Whether you like them ribbed, coloured or even dotty, the collections this Winter are full of variety.

House of Holland Alphabetights, £12.99

Gold by Giles, Seamed Lurex tights, £9.99

Cable-Knit tights, £9.99

ALL THINGS FLORENCE

Everytime we turn on the radio, open a magazine or switch the telly on these days, we either get lovely Florence Welch, or someone talking about lovely Florence Welch. With the suberb new album 'Ceremonials' out, this praise is entirely just, and I for one can't get enough of her haunting, still shockingly original voice.

Florence and the Machine 'Ceremonials', available now.

PARKS AND REC

Now that Towie's left us pale and plain-vagina'd, and we can no longer drool over the clothes and champagne in Made In Chelsea, I think we're all in need of a little pick me up. NBC's Parks and Recreation is the perfect remedy to the midseason television lull. Starring the exceptional Amy Poehler and now in its fourth season, Parks and Rec just gets better and better. Never has a show made me laugh until I couldn't physically stand it before now.



STARBUCKS

It's baaaaaack. And I'm so excited. Forgive me people cool enough to not get excited by the fact that a huge corperation briefly changes the colour of its cups, as I am sadly that uncool. I mean, Praline Mocha? Are you kidding me? Yum.
