It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Today is December 1st. This means many things...

1. It is Christmas season again! 
2. ABC Family's 25 days of Christmas movies begin today!
3. I am justified in singing Christmas Songs and buying presents all month long!
4. It's time for hot chocolate, Christmas lights, family time, cozy nights by the fire and Christmas baking! 

If you celebrate Christmas, are you as excited as I am?!

Today's post is a bit of inspiration for Christmas room decor! I may have had my decorations up for a few weeks now (I know, I know, but how could I refuse the lights and glitter?!). Anyway, I hope it gives you a bit of inspiration for your own home!

P.S - "Where are you Christmas" is playing as I write this post, simultaneously making me more excited for the holiday season! 

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed!

Have a lovely day! xoxo

How cool does that water look from the dye?! 

This is an awesome recreation photo from when I was about 7 or 8 with a few of my cousins! 

Here's a little sneak peek of my upcoming blog post on my 1920's themed golden birthday celebration! :D

My Room at Christmas!

Hey lovelies!

This is a super short and sweet post about how I have decorated my room for Christmas, I quite like how it turned out. I honestly have spent most of my time cuddled up, Christmas lights glowing, with my blanket and a yummy Christmas scented candle burning...does it get any better than that?

I apologize for the terrible quality of these photos, they were taken on my phone, but the good news is, I picked myself up a little Cannon point and shoot, so I will have much better quality photos soon! Yay! :) 

Since my walls are a very summery blue, I decided to accent with red and gold and found a decent amount of decorations that actually had the color of my room in them to tie all of the colors together. 
This is before I decorated my little tree that my mom surprised me with and before I moved it to a different location, but isn't it just the cutest? 

Here is a close up of my little bookshelf, most of this stuff cost about a dollar, can't beat that! 

As you can tell from the glow of this picture, my room is quite magical during this time! The first thing I do when I get home is plug in my lights and light some of my amazing candles! 

 I searched high and low for a Christmas colored tartan throw and finally found one from JCPenny on sale for 60% off! 

 Finally, this might just be my favorite part, I have had this set of three trees since I was young and they have consistently been one of my favorite decorations! I also love the addition of the light up polar bear from my sister Nicole!

I also wanted to include a few of the decorations that my mom has placed so elegantly around our house! First up, my lovely Christmas stocking, already filled to the brim with goodies for Christmas morning! 

My mom and I spent one evening decorating the Christmas tree and I love the way that it turned out! It's filled with red and gold ornaments and a few personal ones to add a special touch. 

 Happy 6 days until Christmas!! 

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed!! :)

The Christmas Tag!!

While I wasn't necessarily tagged by anyone, I loved the questions and wanted to begin December with a fun and festive Christmas theme! 

Lets Get Started: 

1. Do you prefer a real Christmas tree or synthetic?

Real, I have had one every year of my life and hope to every year to come! 

2. You're in a coffee shop, it's December, what do you pick up? 

Something warm & cozy. I'd have to go with either a nutty soy latte or a sweet caramel latte, like the Caramle Brulee from Starbucks.

3. What's your favorite color scheme for decorating the Christmas tree? 

Definitely the traditional colors! I love red, green, and gold with a lot of sparkle and personalized ornaments! 

4. Giving or Recieving?

Giving! I love a good gift, but giving someone something I know they will love is unbeatable! 

5. To mince pie or not to?

I have never had one...so not?

6. What's your traditional Christmas lunch?

A delicious brunch made by my grandma! 

7. Christmas day fashion.

Christmas eve is when I get all dressed up, so for Christmas I keep it casual with a sweater, leggings, boots, and a scarf! 

8. What is your favorite Christmas Song?

I love them all, but "The Christmas Song" by Nat King Cole always stands out above the rest. It instantly makes me feel like I'm by the fire, warm drink in my hand, Christmas tree lit, and that warm, cozy feeling of Christmas. Does it get better than that?

9.What is your favorite Christmas film?

Again there are so many great options, but I will choose my favorite three. I love How the Grinch Stole Christmas with Jim Carrey, Annabelle's Wish, and last but not least, The Year Without Santa Clause! 

10. Open presents before or after lunch?

FIRST THING! I love opening presents bright and early, despite the fact that I am not a morning person on any other day! 

I tag my friend Joy, from http://blog.joymichellephotography.com/ to do this tag as well! :)

This tag has made me more excited for Christmas, if that is even possible! I hope you are having a great holiday so far. Happy 22 days until CHRISTMAS!!

Hope you enjoyed reading!! :)

Have a lovely day!! xoxo

Hello Autumn, I love you.

Fall is by far my favorite season and October is definitely my favorite month. The 65 degree weather, colorful assortment of leaves, candles, cider, coffees, holidays, and desserts are just a few reasons why this season trumps all the others. I know I am not alone in my love for Autumn and decided to write a post showing you how I made my rooms cozy and festive for fall. I live between two different houses right now while I am at university, so I had a rare opportunity to decorate two very different rooms - I didn't mind!

My First room is definitely on the girly fairy tale side of decor, but done in a more mature way, considering I am nineteen years old;but who doesn't love a good bit of magic every now and then.
I found these twinkle lights or white christmas lights at target for $2 .50 each and only needed two packs to light and entire wall in my room. I used clear command strip hooks and hung them to my wall, simple and basically effortless. I also found this AMAZING wall decal on sale for $2 .50 as well and decided that it added the sweet and girly vibe I was going for in this room.

I accented with orange to tie in all of the fall pieces I wanted to add. I have a few mini pumpkins scattered around the room, along with a vase of flowers, though they are fake which is not normally my taste, I fell in love with the colors and loved how they looked in the room. I also found a strand of leaves that went perfectly across my calender and favorite quote of all time "Dwell in possibilities" By Emily Dickinson! I must say, finishing with my favorite Bath & Body Works candle "Leaves" brings the perfect fall scent to my newly decorated room! 

My Second Room has black furniture with burgundy accents, so naturally I pulled out the burgundy, orange, and brown, colors of Fall. I purchased most of my decorations from Target for a bargain price of $13 and was pretty proud of that accomplishment! Overall I was happy with the cozy and warm colors, especially when burning my favorite fall scents (Fall Candle Blog Coming Soon!)

Have a lovely day!! :) xoxo
