It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas


It is no secret that I am a HUGE Christmas person! So as soon the 1st of December rolled around, I was decorating like mad. Equipped with my three big boxes of decorations and Michael Buble's Christmas album playing in the background I Christmasafied every inch of the house. Candles, candycanes, nativity scenes... you name it, I've got it!





The piste de resistance is of course the tree. I prefer the real thing over the fake ones. Going to the Christmas Tree farm and picking out a perfect tree has become somewhat of a tradition. Plus, nothing gets me into the christmas spirit more than the amazing smell of pine!


I wanted to decorate the tree in mainly whites and reds. I actually got a bit crafty and made a few decorations (I plan on doing a DIY blogpost for these so stay tuned). I have to say, this is my best tree yet!


I shot a little instagram video of the final touches being put onto the tree. Just for the record, that is not my voice you can hear, it's my flatmate!



Do you guys have any interesting Christmas decorating ideas or tips? Let me know in the comments!

Christmas is almost here and 2013 is coming to a close. I've said it before and I'll say it again; time flies by so fast! Seriously! I swear the year just started!

Anyway, you may or may not be aware that Christmas is my favorite time of year. I'm not ashamed to say that I have been listening to Christmas tunes since mid-October, but now that it's December I am stepping it up a notch or two. I am in full decorating mode. Candy canes and fairy lights are slowly but surely taking over the house. I will be sure to blog my progress for you all to see!

This month's desktop calendar picture was taken at the Covent Garden Christmas Food Market in London. It looks so festive! Definitely my cup of tea.
