We Wish you a Merry Christmas!

With a batch of Martha Stewart Ginger Bread Christmas cookies goldening to perfection in the oven, it is fair to say that the spirit of Christmas is certainly in the air. The decorations have been hung, presents diligently accounted for and with an upcoming brunch with treasured friends, I am joyously awaiting Christmas day. For a few last minute ideas, add festive features to your decadent table with an assortment of candles or a stack of pine cones. Guests will adore receiving personalised notes on table placements, while allowing you to contain control over your final setting masterpiece. Complete a brunch table-scape with cookie shaped spoons adjacent to over sized cups for guests to readily dip into home brewed coffees or cocoas. Wrap gifts in brown packages or newspaper, adorned with seasonal ribbons for a simplistic yet earthy treat to confine homemade cookies and other parting gifts. With Christmas merely a week a way it is time to stuff those stockings and deck the halls. For an additional dose of dashing ideas create your own decorations with these effective ideas. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Sign, Sealed, Delivered

Messenger satchels are a dominating trend of late with their structural formality and fashionable function. Incorporating business brights with clued-up character, these bags aren't meekly for decoration. Every girl needs a bag with the ability to store countless items without adding a disheveled and disorderly aura. For someone who strives for organisation and practicality, the holiday season seems to enhance my inner nerd with a manifestation of lists, post-it notes and stationary galore. The utter shambles projected into my handbag has become diabolical, yet a remedy is never far! I have scouted out the bulky, slender and suitably stylish aspects on these must-have pieces all year round. I am giddy with the affirmative results of these architectural beauties and cant wait to get my hands on a new messenger satchel. Take a peek for yourself at the varying vibrant colours as well as endless practicality. Hmm, another thing to add to your Christmas wishlist? I for one think yes!
