My Bachelorette Pad: Christmas Decor via Instagram

<div style="text-align: center;">Last year, I didn't decorate my apartment at all for the holidays, but this year, I've been creating pretty little Christmas vignettes all over my bachelorette pad. The more glitter the better!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh34kG61FmIUpK3s7KNgA8E1hh1jG9pbmzrc_rRm6M8EwzUN_01-zdNpxSEbTUTB1_XnFBAhj0tEs-MLCgRnLL1JCjliJp8KDRoaF9-yZr-MMweRQs9rYndMSTDp_ziIuWBIOCjPsMS-sE/s1600/ornaments+in+a+bell+jar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh34kG61FmIUpK3s7KNgA8E1hh1jG9pbmzrc_rRm6M8EwzUN_01-zdNpxSEbTUTB1_XnFBAhj0tEs-MLCgRnLL1JCjliJp8KDRoaF9-yZr-MMweRQs9rYndMSTDp_ziIuWBIOCjPsMS-sE/s640/ornaments+in+a+bell+jar.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>^Ornaments in a bell jar.

Inside the Bell Jar: Cloches

<div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhCv_AygNp3sOSWCUYuTZYuA-02z7ZL1JgcOdNhdkxgSaTsHaU_-DwvokVB3Bakxanrv8m_KSRUfnlzD2jciYAEc06990IN11uw0fAPDNEx_fCG5dcJV3ez-573Z9raEAjeL5RgLba0iXH/s640/005.JPG" width="640" /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've always liked bell jars, or cloches. I think they can elevate a simple item that might otherwise be overlooked into something worthy of showcasing, like this shell that I put under a cloche on my coffee table.
