Christmas - Pass It Good!

Hello everybody! How's everything going? I can't even believe Christmas Eve is tomorrow! Who else's excited? So, I don't know you all, but in my family, the dinner is the most important moment in the whole Christmas celebration, more even than the presents. Everyone dress up and pass it really good-looking and so do I. So, I would like to give you some inspirations to get ready for this amazing and magical night! Let's start?

Starting with nail art...

For clothes, choose greens, reds and golds. It could be a simple and festive jumper, or even a nice dress:

And, of course, ACCESSORIES!

 

For make up, you could try a red lipstick, or a gold eyeshadow! The options are many... But, the truth is: Christmas is all about celebrating a great time with your family and close friends. Doesn't really matter what you're wearing, anyway. What does matter is you feel good. If you're happy, if you're having a great time with the ones you love, and if you're feeling pretty, that's what matters! 

I sincerely wish you all a marvellous Christmas! Full of joy, love and happy moments! Go ahead and PASS IT GOOD! x

Getting Christmassy! - Part Two

Hello everyone! I'm back for you with the second part of GETTING CHRISTMASSY! Yay! In this part I'm gonna talk about Christmas songs and house decoration. Are you ready? Let's start!

House Decoration

So, we all know how important it is to get everything ready for Christmas time. And, besides our old friend Christmas tree, there are many other options to get your bedroom in the spirit. The most famous right now is to get your room lighted, which means to put little lights around it, coloured or simple-white. It works not just as a lovely Christmas decoration, but as a common and nice way to decorate your room for any time in the year. And that's exactly what I love about lighted rooms: they remain even after festive times. And believe me, it's beautiful. You can put the lights over a mirror, over your bed or even next to the roof. Check out some examples and inspire yourself!

Lovely, aren't them? And the good news are: they're cheap, easy to get and there are dozens of different options to put them in your room. Nice! Let's keep going, because the last subject I'm going to talk about is...

Christmas Songs

Can I say I LOVE Christmas songs? Every Christmas time I download new adaptations of classics songs and do a playlist to listen during the month... But this year I've found the gold at the end of the rainbow. Nearly two weeks for Christmas, I've found out that Michael Bublé recorded an album called ''Christmas'' including all of the classics. I'm just in love. The album contains Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, Jingle Bells, All I Want For Christmas Is You and a lot more... Besides this album, I would recommend Jingle Bells Rock by Bobby Helms, Last Christmas by Taylor Swift, Happy Xmas by John Lennon and Wonderful Christmas Time by Paul McCartney. 

Do you have any other favourite Christmas song? Write down a comment, I'd love to hear from you!

That's all for now, sweeties.

KEEP THE SPIRIT UP!

Getting Christmassy! - Part One

Hello sweeties! Everybody's ready for Xmas? Because that's what we're gonna talk about today! YAY! I don't know you all, but I simply LOVE Christmas. I reckon it's my favourite holiday. I love the eve, I love the party, I love the food and mainly, as we are in a fashion blog, I love christmas fashion! (No, I'm not talking about the Santa's costume, neither the Rudolf's). So, I'm here to inspire you to get as christmassy as possible and get in the spirit! This post will be divided in two parts. In this one, I'm gonna talk about clothing and eating, and in the second one, it's time to house decoration and songs. Let's get it started!

First: Clothing!

If you're facing the winter time, you'll certainly need a warm jumper or sweater. Why don't you try a Christmas-themed one? Come on, it's fun, warm and cheap! Have a look on some of the options:

They're so wearable, oh my God, I can't even. Besides jumpers, Primark is selling Christmas-themed trousers and, for the adventurous, it is a fun and warm option! Have a look on them:

Cute, aren't them?

Second: Eating!

We all know Christmas is a time when we cannot avoid eating as much as fat pig. (CONFESS IT) I know, we're all in this together. Cookies, chocolate, dried fruit, nuts, turkey.......... all that stuff that drives us crazy.  And, just to keep the traditions, this year won't be any different. I'll teach you one of my favourite Christmas snack, which is: Snowball Cookies! There they are:

THEY'RE DELICIOUS.

Here's the recipe, which I've taken from www.momswhothink.com! Thank you, moms!

Ingredients:

1 cup butter
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar for decoration

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Cream the butter with 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar and the vanilla. Mix in the flour, nuts and salt.
3. Roll about 1 tablespoon or so of dough into balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 15 minutes. Do not allow these cookies to get too brown. It's better to undercook them than to overcook them.
5. While cookies are still hot roll them in confectioners' sugar. Once they have cooled roll them in confectioners' sugar once more.

I hope you all enjoy the tips and, if you try to make the snowball cookies, let me know if you've liked them in the comments below! 
See you soon and remember: GET CHRISTMASSY!
