Christmas @theRoomAlive

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas! What a whirlwind it has been here!  Christmas has come and gone and it's always sad when you spend two months (let's face it, as soon as Halloween was gone Christmas decs went up everywhere!) planning every detail of how you will make this day so special, and then it's all over for another year!  We were so busy that I didn't even get to share how we got ready for Christmas over here... those of you that follow me on Instagram would have seen a bit of it.  So I decided to keep the magic alive for a few more days by showing you what we have done here...  Our petite...

It is also her first Christmas and we are really excited to make it super special!

It's all in the detail and you can make a big difference in the look of your home by using accessories to update it.  Plus, with all the Black Friday offers on, there couldn't be a better time then now to shop for home accessories.  So I had a look around the high street over the last week to see what's around,...

It's a Copper Christmas...

I have been trying to avoid the fact that it's November and the year has flown by, but it's hard when everywhere I look I see Christmas countdowns and Starbucks are serving their festive cups! Really? It feels like the summer has only just gone. But I guess I better acknowledge reality and start planning Christmas! When metallics are present in almost every room these days, why not bring it with Christmas decor? And that's not the typical silver and gold decs that we have seen for so many years (forever, actually!). It's the new metallics such as gold rose or copper. It's great to see more and more items available on these tones, it'll definitely make for the coolest...
