Happy Monday! 11 days till Christmas, who’s ready?
(I’m not!)
How was your weekend? Good, I hope. We now have our decorations up at home, so I thought I’d kick off this post by showing you my mini tree and glittery reindeer.
Actually, the reindeer stays up year round because I’ve become quite fond of it, in it’s sparkly, tacky glory.
I also wanted to show off my new jewellery storage (thanks Mum!), how cute is this?
Not much to update on here, and I’m STILL behind on tags/awards (I promise they’ll be done before the new year!)
Outfit wise, nothing exciting going on, today is all about as many layers as possible
(not pictured, socks, thermal vest and thick cardigan!)
Is anyone making handmade gifts this year? If so, what have you made/plan to make?
I’ve made a few of mine, mainly jewellery,
but have just put together these little treat bags for my parents (from Flash) and a few friends.
Snowballs (a.k.a caramel bonbon sweets)
Reindeer Poo (a.k.a chocolate raisins)
That’s it for now, hopefully I’ll have some better outfits/more interesting happenings to update on next time.
With love,

Oh I love your jewelry tree, it’s really cute! I really need one like that too!
Your little treat bags are so sweet:)
Lovely tree and pictures. I especially like the first picture because silver and blue are my favourite colours for Christmas trees. I like your NY top.
Love the reindeer…he/she looks so fab with that pink fur. And I love your jewelry tree. I love that it is pink too.
What a sweet darling post! Handmade stuff are the best! Nothing beats the thoughts behind it. Your parents and friends are gonna love it!
And i love that reindeer! All glory and ready once again for X’mas!
omg your room is TOO KUTE!
that reindeer is beyond adorable xo
That reindeer is adorable, no way should he be packed away on Twelfth Night!
Great jewellery tree and very professional packaging, fancy doing mine?

Oh and your NY top (not steal it from you obvs) that would just be theft and a little bit out of order!!!

i’m making jewellery too this year, mainly jewellery for my friends.
Very festive! I bought a little multicouloured tinsel tree from paperchase and despite it’s tackiness I am extremely happy with it. And I buy people presents from pets as well, haha! xx
I love the jewelry tree! The reindeer poo is hilarious!

Such a cute tee! I have a similar one! I can’t believe Christmas is almost here! Too soon, I say! That’s only because I’m too lazy to go shopping for gifts 🙂 xoxoxoxoxo
THE REINDEER WITH A BOA, IS FANTASTIC!
What a pretty pretty tree! Great ideas for sweet little presents too! Have a fabulous week
The reindeer is so gorgeous and I can fully understand you keep it all year round. Those little bags are a cute idea!

what cute decor! just put up our (fake) tree the other day lol … i cannot believe christmas is so soon!
The handmade gifts are so sweet, creative and thoughtful. When I was at uni I always made my gifts, but now I just don’t have the time. I should really MAKE the time though, because it’s so much more special to receive something handmade.
The kitsch reindeer is amazing!
That reindeer is full of win and awesome.
how festive! very cute decor, and love those little treat bags.
btw, a certain package is well on its way to you! Can’t wait for you to get it!
xx
your handmade gifts look so cute! This is the first year ive started doing stuff like that. idk what it is, but this xmas has me feeling super domestic.
HA love the idea of the chocolate poo 🙂 I wish i was able to make christmas presents! Im just relying on my overdraft to get presents!! 🙂 Lovely post as usual.

xoxox,

Oh I love the reindeer, it’s definitely worthy of staying up all year round!
As for presents, I remember I used to make peppermint creams for all of my family members – I was probably about 10 years old and I’m 99% sure that nobody even liked them – thankfully this phase has passed! Now, I like to paint wooden photoframes and they stick sequins around the frame, and put a photo of me and the receiver in…they always look amazing!

PS. SO SO SO cold in England right now!

Wow, I LOOOOVE your reindeer!
Ohhhhhhh, I love your fancy lady reindeer. She’s so pretty!
i seriously adore the lil christmas tree i want one!
i dont know where your located but london is just getting colder by the day layering is the only way to stay warm!
Lovely decorations ! I must start my Christmas shopping ! eeek!
Is it really 11 days? I am in such denial. It’s so simple for us this year (at the in-laws in Herefordshire) & all the sibs won’t be there.. ANd my lovely mother-in-law has given us a very specific (& easily attainable) present list goal. Knowing us, we’ll do what we’ve done in previous years: act as a team, husband waits in the car, I pop in & out of shops around Chelsea.. last year we did the whole lot in under 2 hours on a crazy December Saturday.
And we’re such Scrooges, we haven’t done any decorations, just displaying cards (which we haven’t sent yet!) Man oh man, writing this down… we’re hopeless. Yet happy. I just love all the creativity around me. And your decorations are so cool, Laura. Pink & black reindeer, and that great jewelry tree: definitely year round.
It’s so true: small silver trees are not just for Christmas!
No worries about the necklace, btw. And thank you! xx
I LOVEEEEEEEEE the reindeer. I need one in the pond. We’re all about year-round tacky, sparkly glory.
not ready, not done christmas shopping, no decorations in the house… :S
loves
I love that little christmas tee!
X♥X♥
You just reminded me I FORGOT to get an I <3 NYC tee while there aww :( love your mini tree I used to the same thing in my room. Now, where IS THAT THING?! lol.. ;)
xx

I use my mug tree for hanging jewellery… 🙂 Love your little reindeer – it’s so camp!

i love all your glamorous festive decorations 🙂 and your boots, although slightly cut out of the picture, look comfy !
