Christmas Tree Ornaments & Holiday Shopping
Did you guys shop and decorate your Christmas tree(s) this weekend? I could tell from Instagram, a lot of people did. I'm decorating my smaller tree Shabby Chic this year. HaHaHa It's going to be pink, silver & white! LOL I'll show you the results closer to Christmas (if it looks right! LOL). Do you use family ornaments, buy new ones each year, go with a certain color scheme or theme etc? I was at World Market and found their ornaments to be very pretty. I couldn't stop laughing at these wine bottles. HaHaHa So cute!
I shopped online throughout the weekend (even now as I'm typing), and everything was on sale. My big purchase were these Miu Miu crystal loafers (that's the sale price! if they don't look good on, they're going back! HaHaHa they're on net-a-porter too, but they're full price). Loft tops here and here (50%off). Target grey/black dress here (Buy 1 get 50% off + free shipping). Talbots pajamas (here and here) 50% off. More from Talbots, but let's skip that! HaHaHa Barnes & Nobles Amy Tan (here) and I'm watching 2 sweaters on Garnet Hill. LOL Don't worry, I paid ALL my bills for December! LOL The only sadness this weekend was hearing about actor Paul Walker's death. His death really got to me. I really liked him. The day of his death, he had just left a charity event to raise money. I just never expected him to die so tragically. We never know when our last day will be. I encourage all of you to make amends with whomever you're not seeing eye to eye. I got on the phone myself and contacted a guy I hadn't talked to in months. It felt good. I felt better.

It was very sad news - hearing things like that does tend to put things in perspective x
ReplyDeleteAww, such cute ornaments! I love that Christmas tree knit for the wine bottle, adorable! :)
ReplyDeleteWhen DH and I first got married we went crazy buying ornaments, so our tree is pretty full....silver and red mostly. But every year we always end up adding a few more ornaments that I just can't resist, or my mum buys us some. Every year she buys us a decoration to put on her Christmas tree too, it's a tradition as every year growing up we would get a new ornament for the tree :)

I haven't started decorating it. I need to pull out my Christmas decorations from the bottom of the draws. I love looking at decorations instores. It puts me in such a happy and festive mood;-)
ReplyDeleteWho on earth would hang hotdogs and burgers on their Christmas tree!?!?!? :-)
ReplyDeleteI have only just started decorating with a few little things. My son's Advent calendar is done, I have our Advent candles, some pine tree twigs and fairly lights. Our tree never goes up before the 24th December ;-)
Looks like you've done very well with your shopping, you will have to do a show-off post with those slippers!
Btw, if you need more festive inspiration, I have a little giveaway on my blog that you might be interested in.
Have a lovely start to the week xo
So many decorations to choose from! We haven't even started on Christmas yet (a bit too early for me), but I am looking forward to decorating my tree and the house in a few weeks. x
ReplyDeleteI love decorations!! We just have a small tree this year again as my youngest would have the big one pulled down, haha! But, she loves the decorations and all that stuff. It's red and white this year. I sometimes have gold and cream, but chose red this year. I think I change it every year to whatever suits my mood. But, there is always glitter, haha!! This place looks great, though why one would want a hotdog is beyond me, hahahaha!! That made me laugh!! I hope you had a good rest doll & your new week is wonderful!! xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Kim,
ReplyDeleteNice to get to know your blog after reading about you through Kizzy's.
Such a beautiful and lovely blog you have!

ReplyDeleteHi Kim! Seems you had a splurge this weekend! The Miu Miu loafers are amazing, well done! I havent made the tree yet, here is tradition to put it after 8th Dec, I'm curious to see yours now. The bottles are so adorable, you know I have something like that for the eve lol! Love all the ornaments, especially the gingerbread and the snowman. Was wondering if you are going to make posts about the decorations in the houses as you have done for Halloween, it would be great for me. Btw, Im so sorry for his death too..you are right dear and you did well to call your friend. Made me think too. Kisses, happy Dec! xo

Christmas is the only time of the year whereby the ornament shops simply thrive.
ReplyDeleteI'm sad about Paul Walker's sudden demise too. I never really kow much about him and I only know he is that F&F actor. It is sad to read on the news that he was in the process of doing charity work. That makes if even sadder.
OH my gosh! Those wine bottle things are SO SO SO SO CUTE!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! Love it :)
ReplyDeletekisses
cute decorations!
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't love Christmas decorations?! I already started at Target yesterday. Cute pictures, makes me sad though because our one local World Market just closed.
ReplyDeleteThose Miu Miu loafers have the perfect touch of sparkle and glam. I bet you look amazing in them Kim! The news about Paul Walker was so sobering and sad :( It's surely a a reminder of how fragile life can be.

Yea, my IG was flooded with decorations over the weekend. We aren't doing a tree this year, but we did put up lights.

The holidays are always so special. This year, I feel particularly grateful since a lot has happened to people around me so I'm very thankful for the little and big things.
ReplyDeleteThese holiday decorations are so fun. I love the mix of sophisticated decorations and the corny ones. haha.
Paul Walker's death was so tragic. I think it's particularly sad that his daughter was at the event too so I cannot imagine how she must be feeling right now. =/

Your post really got me in a Christmas mood Kim. Look at those pretty ornaments! We had our tree up a day after Thanksgiving because a little girl couldn't contain her excitement. We try not to buy new ornaments every year but it is hard to resist...ha. I do blue, white and red theme for two years now. Maybe something different next year.
ReplyDeleteGreat thought on connecting with someone you hadnt talked to in awhile. Just let them know of what you had held back and it sure made one feels better.
Those ornaments are so cute! We don't have a World Market close by..such a bummer. Paul Walker's death was shocking and very sad..as they always are.
ReplyDeleteThose ornaments are so cute. I like World Market too. I have a sickness for everything Christmas. Keeps accumulating more and more stuff, lol.

I'm saving my tree decorating until next weekend - after my Black Friday shopping challenge, I was too tired to do anything this weekend! But I'm definitely feeling in the festive spirit. I use the same decorations year after year, but I do have a colour theme I settled on years ago - turquoise, gold and white - so if I buy something new, I try to fit it in with that.
ReplyDeletexox,
Cee
Omg! Those wine bottles are too cute! I'd love to dress up our wine bottles that way just like that. Oh and that last one bottle looks so fancy! .=) It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas on your blog. I love it! I'm back to blogging now and will be stalking your blog a lot, lot more, to make up for the past 3 months that I have been M.I.A
ReplyDeleteBeautiful seasonal pictures.
