My Style Monday {My Christmas House}

Pin It

Can you believe Christmas is HERE! Say what!?! I feel so behind this year since Reggie and I took a mini vaca in the middle of the chaos…lol:0)

Ok, not exactly but you get the point, right?!

So here’s my Christmas house this year...

In the family room I used  pretty blues,creams, silvers and some green as well.

In our living room and dining room I went with metallics and a more decorative slim tree!

I’m looking forward to some post Christmas sales this year to stock up on some more goodies! I got almost all of my blue and cream decor for 75% off at my local Fry’s!

Are you all done with your Christmas décor, or is it work in process until the day of :0)?

Girls Night In Guide {Holiday Entertaining}

Pin It

Thanks to Duncan Hines for sponsoring my writing. There's no limit to the baking possibilities, so grab your favorite Duncan Hines mix and Comstock or Wilderness fruit fillings and Bake On! www.duncanhines.com.

If your thinking about gathering up the girls for some Christmas cheer, then here is a quick guide for a fun girls night in.

Start off with a fun color scheme! I think a pink and green is beautiful combination for Christmas. Even if you just set up a small spot in your kitchen, it’s sure to set a festive backdrop! Small tinsel trees in pink and green are inexpensive and really grounds the color scheme.

 

How cute is this outfit. Jeans, a tunic and a touch of leopard can make hosting comfortable. You can also have your girlfriend wear their favorite shades of pink. Taking “photo booth” photos using props would be a fun way to keep the memories!

 
 
 
 
 

 

Even more PINK! These sparkle cupcakes I made used colored sugars,dark brown cupcake liners and my favorite Duncan Hines cake mix, Devils Food. You can learn this simple technique here!

Don’t forget to add a cute hot chocolate bar! I love this one with the chalkboard

 

Finally, decide on what you and your friends want to do! Maybe just a night of chit chatting about LIFE,crafting up some homemade gifts, or watching Christmas movies while exchanging small gifts like different colored socks. Getting my girls together each season is a must for me. I hope you can find some inspiration to do the same!

Remember to check out Duncan Hines' website www.duncanhines.com to find some great recipes for your holiday get-together! I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective.

My Style Monday {Christmas Style}

Pin It

Today I’m sharing my Christmas style! One of the best things about Christmas is how many different ways there are to “deck the halls” Traditional Green and Red from bright pinks and blues. Christmas décor has defiantly made a complete shift in the last decade. Families are now creating décor that complements their already lovely interiors. In a perfect world my home would reflect all of these JOLLY elements!
