Christmas Decor Inspiration

There is something so magical about the holidays. I love how beautiful the decorations can be and they always add a special warmth to the season. I really miss my preferred Christmas aesthetic, but I'm slowly getting into my Florida Christmas groove. Yesterday I walked Georgia Ave and had an overload of inspiration thrown at me. There were disco ball + peony Christmas trees, sparkles, and just lots of fun to be had by all. Below are a few pins that are also inspiring me to tone it back a bit and maybe marry the two styles. 

Tis the season to decorate,

Sleighride - Ferrante & Teicher

Happy Holiday - Peggy Lee

White Christmas - Dean Martin

Winter Wonderland - Lena Horne

I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm - Dean Martin

I Like a Sleighride (Jingle Bells) - Peggy Lee

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - Lou Rawls

Boy Toys

Boys are impossible to shop for (as I have mentioned before), I plan on using these as some gift inspiration...

crunch time

as usual my life has been put on hold for the past 10 days in order to prepare for Christmas. i hope that everyone has not had the hectic lifestyle i experience every year! between baking, shopping, and decorating i'm amazed i have been able to get anything else done.

i also hope all of the bah-humbugs (and grinches) get into the Christmas spirit immediately...now please excuse me while i search to get the perfect presents for the boys in the family!

any ideas?!

Christmas Crafts

i love martha (no need to say last name...everyone knows her). needless to say i love doing crafts and this Christmas i am channeling my inner martha and making cute Christmas goodies and crafts to share at my annual party i host with cait!

here are some of my ideas (i'm just covering the food for now)!

1. chocolate pretzel rods

2. santa berries!

3. a gingerbread house (what is a Christmas party without a gingerbread house!?)

and as a bonus...an Advent Calender!

santa baby

so i have a friend named katie (pictured below in the pink scarf) , who is a Christmas fanatic, and she has been sending me updates as to when santa arrives almost every month...

i just want to give a shout out to katie and to thank her for all the updates that keep me going! i better get my list ready to send out...

(in case you were wondering...22 days until santa is coming to town)
