It's begining to look a lot like Christmas.....

Sooooo I am a little bit obsessed with Christmas its probably my favorite holiday out of them all, I just love the pretty lights, Christmas movies, going crazy buying gifts for other people and most exciting for me is decorating for the holidays!!

We aren't a family who put lights up outside the house but we do a lot of decorations inside. Now I wish I had one of those amazing American houses that have the massive entry ways etc but I do the best with what I have and wanted to share with you my little bit of winter wonder land :)

Unlike a lot of people I know our family has a real tree if we are going to do Christmas we do it the right way. So finding the perfect tree is a long winded process for us we are the people that scare other customers away from parts of the garden center because we are talking to the Christmas tree's. My family is a little weird so to us its perfectly normal to make the trees go through an interview process before we choose haha (*) Oh and I also name the tree last year we had George and this year we have Phil the Fir.

Picking the Tree out

Trying to figure out how many lights had blown from last year

Our theme this year was a ton of lights and baubles for the tree no tinsel or other ornaments and I freaking love the look of the tree this year.

 

Added from Candy Canes and snowmen as little accent pieces around the TV

Hand made Bauble Wreath there will be a Blog post very soon on how I made this

The finished look <3 br="">

Cali Cat investigating Phil the Fir and seeing what gifts she can chew :)

This isn't all the decorations we have up if you would like to see some more of the little pieces let me know.

 

XOXO

(*) For anyone that would like to know I am helping 2 trees through weight watchers next year as some were a little to plump for out living room this year lmao

I LOVE WINTER TAG!!

I have been really into finding new blogs recently and I stumbled onto Kellie's Blog BeautyEverAfter and saw she posted a I Love Winter TAG and seeing as Winter & Fall are my Favorites seasons I just had to do the tag!!

1) Favorite Winter Nail Polish?
For a nail addict like myself it is so hard to narrow this down but my faves have to be either a deep purple or a deep blood red both cream based and shimmer.

2) Favorite Winter lip product?
I love my EOS for winter super cute to look at and so moisturizing for those frosty mornings and bitter cold nights, recently though I have been pretty obsessed with red/dark lips!!

3) Most worn Winter clothing piece?
Ooo this was a hard one probably Skinny Jeans with knee high boots and my Parker with a big fluffy hood.

4) Most worn Winter accessory?
Scarfs!! I wesr them all read round but nothing beats a good winter scarf. I have recently been loving chunky knit hats for when I have curly hair too.
 

5) Favorite winter scent/candle?
Im such a candle whore so this is freaking impossible if I have to choose it would probably be Slatkin & Co - Hot Buttered Rum or Twisted Peppermint, they smell so yummy!

6) Favorite Winter beverage?
Starbucks Peppermint white hot chocolate. Mmmm

7) All time favorite Christmas/Holiday movie?
ELF!! That and the Santa Clause Movies. I cant wait to start watching them!!

8) Favorite Christmas/Holiday song?
I cant pick one some so anything from Blake Shelton: Cheer's, Its Christmas or anything from a Michael Buble Christmas album haha

9) Favorite Holiday food/treat?
Momma Elf's (aka my mum) home made Mince Pies.

10) What is your favorite Christmas Decoration this year?
I love Christmas lights I went super traditional with decorating this year its all Red, White & Gold.

11) What's at the top of your Christmas list?
This year has been so freaking hard to think of anything to ask for last year it was insane in our household with big gifts so this year is going to be a little more low key. If I'm honest the only thing I want this year is a Corgi but I know there is a bigger chance hell will freeze over than me seeing a Corgi on Christmas day hah

12) What are your plans for the holidays this year?
We are always pretty low key for Christmas not to many family is still around so just my mum, step dad and sister for Christmas day. Boxing day though we have my grandparents come over for lunch and this year my good friend has decided to escape her family to join our for the day she is pretty much my mothers 3rd daughter.

I feel so freaking christmasy these last few days I am LOVING it!! 

 

XOXO

It beginning to look a lot like christmas....

Ekkk so freaking excited everywhere is starting to look like Christmas and this past Monday I was a little down so I decided screw it I'm going to decorate for Christmas and I don't even care that its not December yet (we normally don't get the Tree and everything until the weekend of the 12th December). Here is a few pics okay a crap load of pics of my bedroom that's the only place I have fully decorated so far Ill be updating once everything has had Christmas thrown up on it :D

It seriously just needs to snow already and Ill be happy!!!

 These are my newest purchase and they are too freaking cute I cant stand it!! I picked the 2 little Santa's?? and the house from Dunelm Mill (If you have 1 near by do check it out they have a few different colors and styles!!) these little fellas were originally on my window ledge but had to move them they are now sat under my little Christmas tree.

 I have been nuts about fairy lights pretty much all my life. So I decided these will probably be perminant things with a string across the top of my headboard and around the top of the room. I think Im going to add a second string around the top to make it look a little brighter :) 

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!

 

I went a little nuts with the Bokehful App on my iPhone lol

Have you decorated for Christmas yet?? or got any cute idea's planned??

XOXO
