Hello guys,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links und Markennennung-not sponsored)

and happy Monday. I know I know Monday´s aren´t usually our favorite days but I have a little something to sweeten up your day.


And I might say this every year but our Christmas decor has never been prettier than this year. I have tried some different things and also decorated a few more areas than last year and in my opinion it turned out even more beautiful than I thought. I am going to break it down room by room so it will be easier to follow.

Family room:
Of course our family room is the most used place in the whole house so this is where most of the magic happens. I do have a different color theme every year and usually I am not straying far aside from the classics but I have gone wild this year and went with a totally fashionable Christmas tree in pink and black. Yes you hear that right but if you are a regular reader you already read my Christmas tree decoration post last week and are no further surprised.


Anther corner in our family room I enjoy decorating is our coffee table / tv area. We do have quite the space to put lots of decor so why not use it for the most wonderful time of the year. I went with the lighter pink version of the ornaments and created a little winter wood theme. With lots of different trees and deers. The gingham table runner is one of my favorites for this year since it has my most favorite pattern but also includes a Christmas embroidery on both sides. I also always keep our  advent wreath with the candles on our coffee table. Evey Sunday starting the 2nd of December there is going to be lit one candle and after the 4th Christmas is here. 


Kitchen:
I haven´t had this much decor in our kitchen the years before. I always decorated the windowsill with lots of Christmas decor and candles but that was pretty it. This year I added christmassy kitchen towels and a bunch of poinsettias to my kitchen. I also reused the branches with berries and the red ribbons from two years ago for our bar stools. Absolutely love how our kitchen turned out and since most of our kitchen appliances are red I went with the classic Christmas Red pieces all over.


Entryway:
The entryway wasn´t such a welcoming space when we moved in but after some time and a lot of furniture changes it became really welcoming so since all of our guests will at first be in the entryway I decided to create a warm and welcoming space and what better could be for it than a candle. A candle, not only with its enjoyable light, but also with its smell is the perfect addition to any entryway. You can choose the scent you like your house to smell and even when you are not lighting it, it is a pretty piece of decoration. I personally love Yankee Candles. They are my favorite and they have the best scents for Christmastime. So for today´s giveaway I am giving away one large jar from Yankee Candle in the scent Holiday Sage. This is my favorite holiday scent ever and I hope it is going to be yours too very soon.


Another great addition to your entryway (if you are living in a house) is a handrail wrapped with garlands. I got mine about three weeks ago and his was probably the most work on decorating. I incorporated string lights and little ornaments and also got single red glass elements to add to the garlands. 


I was thinking about decorating our bedroom too but ended up ditching that idea since we are only up there for sleeping and it wouldn´t be worth the work and the money either.


Have you already decorated your home for Christmas? I would love to hear more about it and be sure to enter my giveaway below. It is open until the 10th of December.

Hi guys,
 (post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
do you know what else I love about Christmas time. Not only the holiday spirit, the kindness and joyfullness, the hustle and bustle of getting presents and the many get togethers with people you might not see to often. I love to get dolled up. A little glam never hurt nobody and Christmas truly is the time to exaggerate with glitter and sequins and everything pretty.  

Since I am not an obsessive jewelry person. I do have some statement necklaces I wear every now and then and I mostly only wear my engagement ring and my wedding band on my hands. But I am a sucker for earrings. I never forget to wear a pair of earrings or skip a day. I probably have evey size and shape and from plain to glitter and sequins all over. There is nothing better to dress up a sweater or button down than wearing a pair of statement earrings.

So for this reason I am giving away one pair of gorgeous embellished tassel earrings in black. I have seen them online at H&M a few weeks ago and absolutely adored them. They aren´t as heavy as they look and they will go with so many pieces throughout the holiday season. Also make a great pair of statement earrings for NYE.
Be sure to enter the giveaway below for a chance to win. It will be open until the 9th of December.

Hello my Christmas time loving friends,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
happy first day of December and welcome to 10 Days of Christmas. For the next 10 days (no matter what day it is I am giving away a little something everyday as a thank you to my readers).

So since the cold has finally arrived and we already had some snow falls I am mostly going outside trying to have evey inch of my skin covered in something warm and cozy and of course fashionable. 

Staying cozy in the Winter is one of my favorite things and I am also prooving that Winter mustn´t be sad and black at all. What about a pink jacket including a matching fuzzy blanket scarf. And plaid is super fashionable anyways so it doesn´t matter what color combination you choose to be your favorite. For the rest of my look I kept it pretty simple with a pair of high-waisted jeans and a white sweater I got last year. I decided to go with brown boots after all as the contrast isn´t as harsh as with black (if you are super trendy and have a pair of white boots feel free to wear these). 

So for the first giveaway of many I am giving away this pink blanket scarf from H&M. It is super soft and warm and doesn´t itch at all and the colors are a girls dream.

Be sure to enter the giveaway below. It is going to be open one week from now on so the winner will be anounced on the 8th of December. 

Thanks for stopping by and good luck.

How I decorated our Christmas tree + tips for a versatile decor…

Keine Kommentare

….

Hello my Christmas loving friends,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
my tree has been up for about two weeks now (usually I didn´t want to set it up before the last week of November but I just can´help it) and I am loving it more every second I look at it.

We went a little aside from traditional this year and got a fashionable tree including pink, blush and black ornaments. To be honest I had most of the ornametns for years now and didn´t like them against the backdrop of a complete green tree cause the black got really lost but now we have a flocked white tree which make it stand right out and look so beautiful.

Since I love to decorate with different ornaments and also got a whole bunch of different ones I am breaking it down below for you.

Classic ornaments:
The pink, blush and black ornaments are our classic shaped ornaments on the tree. I got them in a medium and large size to mix and match as I like. I like different size ornaments a lot, also matte and glossy are great to get add texture and deepth to your tree.

Funny ornaments:
I consider a dougnut or a pink flamingo with a hat as a funny ornament. They really make the tree look special. We also had some funny ornaments last year like a soccer ball, some owls and a pair of silver high heels. 

Monogrammed ornaments:
I actually stumbled across these as I was on the search for some pink ornaments and immediately loved them. Who wouldn´t want to have a monogrammed ornament on his tree. Never seen them in one of my favorite store before but so pretty. I also love the retro font of the letter and the bow on top of it. Got them from Nanu Nana (only in stores).

Garlands:
I decided to to with a black garland rather than a pink one because first of all I could´t find the matching shade and second of all I didn´t wanted to create a pink overload so I went with this dark grey/black metallic shimmery garland. I cut it into short pieces to drape it around several branches. In my opinion I think it turned out very nice and is another way to decorate your tree.
Ribbons:
I didn´t do any ribbons this year. First of all I couldn´t find any I liked or matched the color theme and second of all I was pretty satisfied with my metallic shining garland. But I had silver ribbons on last years tree and no garlands so I guess the fun lies in the difference (view the post here). 

Overal I think unusual and various ornaments are the key to set oneself apart from other trees. It doesn´t matter if you have a color theme or just decorate with ornaments you got over the years or all the favorites you found in a store. In the end it only counts if you love your tree and it makes your home feel cozy and festive. 

Do you have a color theme to decorate with or do you mix and match as you like? 
I would love to know.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
