Another week, another portion of the best month of the year gone! That's such a buzzkill of an opener actually, haha. This week's been so busy but in a good way. I feel like I've been all over Auckland and I finally, with the exception of one or two small things, have finished my Christmas shopping which I am super stoked about. My big camera has been having a bit of a rest this week but my phone's camera had quite the working instead so I thought I'd share some of my iPhone snaps with y'all. Enjoy..

*An amazing crystal terrarium at Bio Attic on Ponsonby Road. Swoon times a million. *December's stack of books to read. I've finished two of these so far and highly rate Memories by Lang Leav. Absolutely beautiful writing. *An utterly beautiful Christmas tree in Smith and Caugheys.  *Butterfly print at The Market pop up store. Also on Ponsonby Road. I highly recommend both these places for Christmas gifts if you're a bit stuck for ideas. 

*One of this week's advent calendar goodies from the Benefit 12 Days calendar. I've wanted to try Watts Up for the longest time so finding this behind one of the windows made me extremely happy. *An outtake from Wednesday's post. My book recommendations for Christmas presents. *Iko Iko doing Christmas displays right. They have so many cute things. *A wall to ceiling bookshelf in a local cafe. How crazy is this? *A snapshot from the Auckland Fair captured by Emma of ohflowerchild blog. 

-As always, have an amazing weekend everyone! I'm going to be checking out the Franklin Road lights at some stage which I am excited about, playing with the Fujifilm Instax that I'm borrowing, hopefully watching a Christmas film and just chilling out, eating more chocolate than is necessary. It is Christmas after all...
