Happy New Year everybody! I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and all the best for 2019.
Before I start, I'd like to say that I am in no way bragging about what I got- I am very lucky to have received some lovely presents and am grateful to everyone who bought me them. This is purely so people can be nosy and see what I got or get some ideas for gifts they might like or might like to get someone.
Now that the disclaimer is out the way, let's crack on with the blog. My main present from my parents was this gorgeous pair of Fairfax and Favor Henley Driving shoes. They are so stylish and look great with any outfit.
I got this Hiho Silver leather bracelet which looks really pretty and is quite simple too, so it goes with lots of outfits. It is only £20 as well!
Also pictured is my Rydale Polly Checked Scarf in the colour gunmetal. It is so cosy and is reasonably priced at £10.
I was really excited to receive my 2019 subscription to In The Country Magazine which I am very excited about. I have been loving Hollie-Ella's magazine this year and can't wait to see what next year's issues will bring. The 2019 In The Country Calendar with illustrations by Rosie Young was another perfect gift which I am excited to use in the New Year.
The feather hairpin is by High Bird Designs and features a shotgun cartridge with colourful game feathers. I am excited to wear this at various events this year.
I also received the Cartridge Fairy Lights by High Bird Designs but I haven't got a picture of them up yet.
The hedgehog is from The Imaginarium in York and is supposed to be a Christmas tree decoration but I am definitely keeping him up all year! He's too cute!
This shirt is from Crew Clothing and looks really nice. I haven't had a chance to wear it yet but will post some pics on Instagram when I do! The frog bathbomb is by Bomb Cosmetics and the perfume is BonBon by Viktor & Rolf.
I got a fair few bits and bobs from Rydale, including the scarf that I mentioned before. I also got a pair of Roxby Canvas Trainers in the 'Spotty Navy' variant. These are only £19.99 and are really comfy.
The shirts are in Sally Pink and Lucy Grape and are 2 for £25. I love wearing these with my new Garton II Fleece Gilet. It looks lovely and has the warmest fleece lining ever! It kept me nice and toasty on Boxing Day.
Finally, my pyjamas are so comfy and look really nice too! Mine match my new shirt and have a pheasant on the top but you can also get a set with a dog or horses too.
I also got some Pandora charms and various other bits and bobs and I'll probably put some pictures up on my story highlights if you'd like to have a look.
For those of you who don't know, I've created a separate Instagram account for my blog and have decided to keep my original account more personal. You're still more than welcome to follow my personal account (@charlottebrown23) but I will be posting all blog related things over on @thatmardyyorkshirelass now. I also have a Facebook page, just search 'That Mardy Yorkshire Lass'.
Thank you for reading and I hope that you all got what you wished for and had a happy and healthy Christmas. Christmas is a difficult time for some people and my love and best wishes go out to everyone who struggled through this time.
Until next time,
Charlotte x

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING IN YORK (Imaginarium, Abraham Moon, Wild & Westbrooke & more)
Hello everybody!
Most of you know already that I am based in York for university, which gives me a great excuse to browse the shops and keep on top of my Christmas shopping!
I will be doing a series of Gift Guides this year featuring some of the products sold in these shops.
The back room of The Imaginarium in York has been totally transformed for Christmas. I took so many photos which I will include below. I bought some of the hedgehog decorations for my mum, as well as a highland cow head that she requested (not quite sure where she's going to put it-I'll let you know when she finds somewhere!)
Some of these decorations would make perfect gifts for your friends or family (or even yourself!)
I mentioned Abraham Moon in my September Favourites blog and I'll feature some more pictures here as well. Abraham Moon sells luxury tweed clothing and home furnishings. The shop smells of Jo Malone scents as they have reed diffusers scattered around. I came with my parents and my dad bought a shirt and a jacket. I think the cushions and blankets would make really lovely gifts.
Boots have their 3 for 2 across all gifts offer at the moment and they've stocked up on all things Christmassy! I had a look round and got some ideas and a few bits and bobs as well. Here are some pictures of the York store. Again, I will be featuring some more specific pieces in my Gift Guides.
I found a little shop called Daisy Taylor's in York which sells cards and gifts. It was really quirky and cute and they had a lovely Christmas selection as well. I couldn't resist buying some little Scandinavian figures for my tree to go with my Scandi Santas I got a few years ago. They had lots of tin candles and coasters which would make some lovely gifts. I really liked the Yorkshire mugs and coasters (see picture). Daisy Taylor's also stock Sass & Belle products too!

A new country clothing shop called Wild and Westbrooke have just opened in York and I went to pay them a visit on Wednesday. They stock Morris Richardson Watches, Fairfax and Favor, Holland Cooper, Annabel Brocks and Hicks & Brown alongside many more brands.
I got some lovely gift ideas and added a few bits and bobs to my own wish list!
