Christmas Tree!

Ok first of all, the outfit I wore when decoration the Christmas tree, and THEN the pièce de résistance: le tree. I was completely prepared for the task in my festive socks, white-red-green outfit and euhm overall holiday appropriate mood! The tree is a slow growth import from Denmark apparently. I have like zero arboratory knowledge, but I can tell you the needles are a lot longer, thicker and softer than the trees we usually bring in for Christmas. And it's purdy and shiz! My boyfriend didn't screw up like last year when we had to cut off  a third of the tree just to fit it into our living room. 

Anyway first my outfit! Feels very Scandinavian, which rocks. I love Scandinavian style, perfect Christmassy inspiration too.

coat, sweater: Think Twice vintage

dress: H&M

beanie, tights: Pimkie

boots: Texto

socks: River Island

NOW TREETIME! Keep an eye open for the various bird-themed decorations.

As you can see, I love a variety of different decorations. An OVERLOAD of different decorations to be more exact. Every year new things are added to my collection, and there's stuff in there from my boyfriend's parents too. Like those straw/wooden angels, you can hardly find stuff as authentic as that in stores these days. The more eclectic and over-decorated a tree, the better. That way, the tree really becomes an expression of your family's history. And family is what Christmas is about for me! So if any of my readers are looking for a present to give me: just buy me some sweet christmas decorations! Preferably one piece, no sets. Something to do with Santa or reindeers: tacky = love! 

It wasn't always like that though, I used to be all about only silver/white decorations and simple trees when I was a teen. I moved on to ecclectic trees after that but still hated colored or flickering lights. However, my boyfriend got me a string of led-lights with different lighting settings and now I'm way into the twinkle setting (we didn't use it in the tree though, we decorated a desk with the lights). It's probably just a matter of time until I buy some multi colored blinking crazy lights to decorate EVERYTHING.

Have you put up your tree yet? How do you like to decorate yours?
