Blogmas day 25!


Happy christmas everyone! This month has gone by so fast. It has been such a challenge for me to post every single day also. I give credit to people who do this all year round. I have really enjoyed doing Blogmas though, and I hope you have enjoyed reading them just as much. Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year and being able to share it with likeminded people also means a lot. I am growing in my blogging venture and I can't wait for the new year to grow my blog even further.

I have really come out of my skin by making the decision to blog. I have never been the most confident person and the comments that are left really give me some courage to carry on posting. I love connecting with people who take time out of their day to comment on my blog by commenting back.

So I hope you all have a wonderful christmas spent with the people who mean the most to you, I know I am going to be doing just that! I am probably going to take a little break from blogging for a couple of days then get back into my usual sunday uploads.

Thank-you again for coming on this little blogging journey with me! 
Lots of love, 
Francesca

Blogmas day 11!

Hello again! Christmas cards are always sent out this time of year and I for one LOVE to receive them. I know it is much easier to buy cards from a shop in a multi pack but it is so much easier to make them yourself. I have been getting my creative flair going this year and have made some cards for my family and friends. Although mine are not completely finished yet, there are some great ideas on Pinterest. If craft is something you are interested in then you really should check the website/app out as it is full of various craft ideas that you didn't even know you were looking for.






I really suggest you check out the website for other ideas for diy as well. They have some great present ideas. You can really search for anything and I guarantee that you will get some sort of result!



I apologise in advance if you become addicted to the website after reading this post!

Top 4 Christmas Decorations!

Every year I vow to myself that I will decorate my bedroom to appear and look all christmassy, and every year without fail this doesn't happen. As a family we do the usual traditional things of getting the tree on the first saturday of December, Advent calendars and candles, but my bedroom is one I always forget to do. Probably because my bedroom is so pink and flowery all year round it is quite difficult to make it appear christmassy.

For some reason this year high street stores have really caught onto this trend which leads on to my top 10 christmas decorations from some favourite high street stores (or easy accessible websites)! I have decided to split this in to separate posts! 


Next!

For this first post I wanted to start with a website that I probably shop at the most, and use their store probably the same amount too! Next! (http://www.next.co.uk

Something that is so good about their store is the fact that you are able to shop online until 10pm to get next day delivery to your home...which is good when it comes to buying christmas presents last minute! Their website is also easy to navigate through as they have a separate tab dedicated to christmas present ideas, decorations and cards/wrappings. Basically everything you need, all in one place! 


Stocking £10.00

Stocking £8.00
I love the idea of having a stocking up in my bedroom and both of these are so different but equally as cute! The top stocking is much more based along the vintage theme that has become more frequent amongst stores and websites. I love the writing on the bag and how effortless it looks. The stocking below that looks more traditional but in my opinion looks so chic to have pinned up on your wall. (Or hanging off a door handle if you don't want to make marks in the wall!)
Christmas card holder £18.00
Seeing as christmas is the time of giving and receiving christmas cards it is nice to display some of your favourite ones up on the wall. This is such a great idea as it is function able, pretty, and could be used to showcase some of your favourite things after christmas!

String of hearts £5.00
These decorations are smaller and more discreet when it comes to decorating your bedroom, however the tartan pint and middle quote of 'We believe' makes it perfect for christmas festivities.
Bunting £10.00
 I am lucky enough to have a bed that has a gorgeous massive head to it, that means I can intertwine fairy lights and buntings through it. This is something that I am going to be buying and ordering as soon as I have finished writing this post as it will be perfect for christmas! This also links into the idea of vintage-ness!
Table top christmas decoration £20.00
Finally this little tree decoration would be perfect for the christmas season. I currently have a vase of fake flowers in my bedroom which, don't get me wrong, looks adorable but it screams summer and the sun. For winter I am going to replace it with something similar to this! I think this is also fun as you could decorate with fairy lights, small strands of tinsel or ribbon and add some of your favourite tree decorations! This is also a must have on my christmas list thats for sure! 

I hope you enjoyed this style of post and are looking forward to some of my other favourite decorations from well known high street and online stores. I am going to try and post my top 5 before december so you can get ready for christmas! 


Lots of love!
