Christmas Decoration Sale Picks | #BLOGMAS Day 21

Hi, I finally put up my Christmas tree this past weekend and while this post should probably be a what's on my tree post there just isn't that much to show you. This has inspired me to get window shopping for more Christmas decorations that I can hopefully pick up in the sales. I can't help but return to Wilkos for decorations and I'm really regretting not paying more attention to their decoration range this year. I've now seen some really lovely pieces that are all store only and my local store is so tiny I'll never find them, bonus the sales already on.


My Tree decorations are mainly blue and a petrol purple at the moment and I haven't been able to find any decorations that would fit this colour scheme to add to my collection. Now that the tree is decorated I've decided that I actually want lots of white and silver decorations and guess what was very on trend this year! I like the silver as it reflects the lights on the tree making it even brighter and the white baubles I already have (the pearl ones above) pop against the green.

I've decided that I want to add a bit more texture to my tree by adding more shapes and textures and with a 7ft tree I've got lots of space to play with. The tree was also from Wilkos and I love it. It's super bushy and I got it at half price at £40 from £80. I still need to get a tree topper because I'm yet to find a nice one but I'm really liking the painted white ones. I've only really seen the totally covered glitter ones in the past and I wanted something a bit more grown up and this is my solution.

 What colour theme do you have on your Christmas tree?

Monochrome Homeware Wishlist

Hi, hope you are having a lovely week. I'm really happy that I'm keeping up to posting every other day, I'm hoping I can keep it up. Recently I've been spending way to much time looking at homeware, even though I know I can't buy anything yet, but maybe you can. I decided to share the lovely things I've found on the internet with you. I can not wait to be able to start buying homeware, but I need to work on the house bit first.



Wilkinson: Love Sign £15.00 | Ampersand £5.00
Ikea: Ornate Frame £25.00 | Lantern £7.00 | Clock £4.50
H&M: T-Light £1.99 | Sequin Cushion £12.99 | Slogan Cushion £3.99
Paperchase: Frame £12

I want a mainly monochrome theme with a pop of colour that I can rotate around the house to keep things fresh. The easiest way to do this is to buy coloured soft furnishings and small trinkets such as candles. I'm not normally a fan of slogans but the 'Have a nice day' cushion would really brighten my mornings. I'm a magpie and can't resist anything silver so that's why I've pick the highly unpractical sequin cushion, 'It's so shiny!'. The ornate Ikea frame is something I dread them discontinuing so badly, I've wanted this item forever, as in years and years, I'm so shocked they still sell it. Ampersand's are a really pretty looking form and makes a really nice sculptural piece.

What is your favourite piece? Seen anything nice lately?
