Christmas table decoration

Veröffentlicht am von

Just a few days left until we will get together with our beloved ones for Christmas.
It’s high time to think about a nice decoration for the dinner table. Let me help you to set the perfect arrangement for your holiday and check out my tips for decorations with greenery, candles, silver, lovely place cards….and whatever you can think of!

First of all I would like to show you my Christmas dinner table decoration from last year. Just to show that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to get an elegant Christmas dinner decor.

My last year’s table-theme was ‚brown and golden‘. First of all I put a brown velvet tablecloth on the table and then a table runner right in the middle. I also spread some fir branches on the runner and put nice deco elements on and around it.

Everything in brown and golden is welcome. For example, some nice cones, dried orange slices or cinnamon sticks, which will also bring a nice Christmas flavour to the table. You can also put some golden spray on the cones to make them a bit sparkly. Of course, we need some candle light for the Christmas dinner, so don’t forget about it! Last but not least, I put some cinnamon cookies on the plates that I was baking the night before. They were perfectly working as a place for cards…I just put a nice satin ribbon on the little cookie-bags to fix the name-cards of the guests.

However this is only one of a thousand possibilities to glamour up your Christmas table.
So let me give you some more inspirations.

Pimp up your look!

My favorite part of the dressing up is when you get to choose accessories that will finalize
your outfit. It’s incredible how an add-on or a touch of makeup can highlight a dress, or a
shirt.

I do wear a lot of black and my favorite piece of clothing are dresses, in fact I have a lot of black dresses and I can’t stop buying more.

As Christmas holidays are coming so soon, I have been looking for accessories that would embellish a simple black dress. Since it’s Christmas time you can really go for the glitter – gold touches.

I found 5 accessories that can pimp up your outfit and make you look fabulous.

The first one is a clutch bag, great for New Year’s Eve. It’s small and it doesn’t take too
much space. I found an interesting four fingers clutch bag type.

I adore the Alexander Mc Queen bag,it really looks like a piece of art! It makes an outfit and at the same time dresses your hands!

I’m very sensitive about the esthetic side of an end product. Just like accessories can pimp up our outfit, the packaging can dramatically change the product. Paul&Joe lipstick from the limited edition is a great example. I really love its pattern and the pink shade.

Great for New Year’s Eve party!!!

Another way to decorate a basic dress or a top is a big necklace. Marni presents a perfect
collar for a festive time. I find it very interesting because it’s made from different materials
and it’s got a Christmassy accent.

A hat doesn’t suit everybody but for those who like it I found a feminine and a delicate one
from Clipperton Fedora. It will keep you stylish during winter days and nights out.

Finally, as a fan and (collector) of nail polish, there is no way I can go out without painting
my nails. I kept the best accessory for the end!!!

O.P.I 18k gold nail polish for the James Bond Collection is incredible!!! It’s ridiculously bling
bling but I can’t help to like it!

Santa Lucia

Veröffentlicht am von

Tomorrow, on the 13th of December we will celebrate one of my absolute favorite holidays here in Sweden- Santa Lucia.

There are a few different theories on why we celebrate this day. However, the essence is clear: a beautiful young blond woman brings a light into the dark.

All over the country there will be Lucia processions. In churches, hospitals, kindergartens, schools and shopping malls. All of them will have one Lucia. Every girl growing up in Sweden dreams of being Lucia one year.

 

 

In the kindergarten there are of course as many Lucias as they can dress up. It would be too cruel to choose just one out of many cute blonde kids ;-)

This is already our third Lucia in daycare, but it feels like the first real one. My oldest daughter, almost 4 years old now, has been preparing herself for weeks now. She can’t wait for the day to come. Neither can I.

I will wake my family with fresh baked saffron buns and warm chocolate milk (coffee for me and hubby). Our special Lucia breakfast already became a dear tradition at our family.

It is almost scary how fast these last days of the year go by. In less than 2 weeks it is Christmas. I have to wrap a LOT of gifts and can´t wait to see my daughters´ eyes when they see the tree and all the gifts.

However, first – Lucia.

Have a great week everyone,

Love from Stockholm,

Tilla
