Hi all! Hope you are having a great week so far and enjoying Christmas season. I'm in full baking mode, buying cookie tins and wrapping pretty presents. I love to wear bright colors during Christmas season, and especially red. Against the white of snow it looks so pretty, I think!  Do you have your reds out? Do share!

Thank you for stopping by!

Christmas Card Display {DIY}

Ever wonder what to do with all those Christmas cards you get before December 24th? I always struggle to find space on my refrigerator to fit everyone's cards. This year, I'm taking a creative approach to a Christmas card display. I found this idea on Pineterst (yes I'm not that original) and decided to put it to life. With the pretty cards from Tiny Prints, I love how it all came together.  

PROCESS: 

1. Find an old frame (or a picture and tear it out)

2. Spray paint the bare frame a color of your choice (mine is Mettalic Gold)

4. Attach pretty decorations (example)

5. Turn the frame backwards and attach the lights. Make sure you know which way your wire is going to end, because you want it to reach the plug. Also, don't take the extra lights out of the garland - the whole thing will die (you live and you learn)

6. Attach it to the wall or put up on a mantle and display your holiday cards, like I did with my Christmas cards from Tiny Prints

ENJOY!

I found this gorgeous  plaid skirt at my local thrift shop and just could not pass it by. It's very 70s and I love how well it pairs with bright colors. Also, it's a midi skirt and I'm all about that lately. I hope you are having a great week and scored some good deals this passed weekend. If you're still not sure about what to buy, check these under $50 gift guides (J.Crew / Nordstrom / Sephora) which offer free shipping!

It's time to get your Christmas pajamas out, drink hot tea and read. I found this adorable children's book in Barnes and Nobles the other day and think it would be perfect for snow day snuggles. Especially for certain someone who has been giving his parents trouble at bed time. I love J.Crew pajamas and although I haven't splurged on one yet, I'm hoping I will find one under the Christmas tree this year. Also, must have cozy slippers (which are also cute). I hope you are enjoying your long weekend (don't remind me that it's almost over) and finding new and tasty ways to eat that left over turkey. 

Stay warm ladies!
