Christmas Tree Inspiration

If there is one season that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, that would be Christmas time. Every year during the yule tide season, I become a kid again. I love the food, the fragrant smell of pine everywhere, the Christmas carols...well most of them, and the way everyone seems to be in a better mood. I especially love the many different ways people decorate their Christmas trees.

Every year the trees seem to be more creative and even more fabulous than before. Check out these trees from trendytree and I dare you to not be inspired!

Cherio!

Gingham......This check will never bounce

Christian Louboutin shoes

There is something about Gingham that is so sweet and nostalgic that you just fall in love with it. And trust me, once you buy a piece of this fabric, you'll want it in every color.

Now, I know that this look is not easy to pull of but if done right, gingham can be very chic and even trendy. Its all a matter of how you accessorize and style it.

Here's some beautiful gingham fashion and decor pieces that I really like, enjoy!

Gingham is a great way to introduce pattern to your wardrobe or decor. It is a true classic and because of its neutral two color palette, it is easy to integrate into both your closet and decor. Gingham is very reasonable and versatile. It has been around since the 17th century and I would venture to say, its "here for the long haul."

One of my favorite things about this fabric is that it is so light and airy, which makes it perfect for Spring and Summer.

How ingenious is this. Use gingham fabric to cover your head board and sew some tiebacks at the side (could be ribbon if you choose) and viola!, you have a new look! What's really great about this is, you can swap out the fabric whenever you like. (please note: works best on rectangular and square head boards)
