Oh (Flocked) Christmas Tree

<div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I will be the first to admit I have never seen one of these in person, but I'm really smitten with the look of the snow on the branches. It seems a white Christmas isn't the norm anymore (dreaming of one this year of course! It's looking promising after the snowstorm we got this weekend), but this could be a fun way to ensure a snowy Christmas morning opening gifts. Would you do a flocked tree?<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPNwOg0anX60fgHwnNyszZQpPufiQwKqIUdqKiNidbv6Z7bsKKQG83xj8sQJ92FmibtTwqiHbR6jgP2qe4ZzW97XaHMWhiZ3P2J3a1JvjoywMD5uYWsrrHQkyoMo289TREt_ngLBEpEqE/s1600/flocked+tree+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPNwOg0anX60fgHwnNyszZQpPufiQwKqIUdqKiNidbv6Z7bsKKQG83xj8sQJ92FmibtTwqiHbR6jgP2qe4ZzW97XaHMWhiZ3P2J3a1JvjoywMD5uYWsrrHQkyoMo289TREt_ngLBEpEqE/s1600/flocked+tree+1.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.styleathome.com/homes/interiors/holiday-home-simplicity-style/a/44190/4" target="_blank">via Style at Home</a></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLSALPeBXmzsO3RK4hZNiDJZJepUMeiXC2_wppEQEVNS-Ofw2Wvmky5E1sR4fjb8W96L2cQuRLSXf7H1offnGn2D-jMblrqpcUaJiHr-crFrA0EwNbCujNfqHEjuAPUHCG-TySSCJzRJU/s1600/flocked+tree+2+doctors+closet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLSALPeBXmzsO3RK4hZNiDJZJepUMeiXC2_wppEQEVNS-Ofw2Wvmky5E1sR4fjb8W96L2cQuRLSXf7H1offnGn2D-jMblrqpcUaJiHr-crFrA0EwNbCujNfqHEjuAPUHCG-TySSCJzRJU/s640/flocked+tree+2+doctors+closet.jpg" width="426" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thedoctorscloset.com/?p=5052" target="_blank">via the Doctor's Closet</a></td></tr></tbody></table><a href="http://s1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh609/tiffanyleighinteriordesign/?action=view&current=Tiffany-27.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh609/tiffanyleighinteriordesign/Tiffany-27.jpg" /></a></div>

Make-Shift Christmas Vignette

<div style="text-align: center;">One of the things that I'm struggling with this holiday season is being away at school with no Christmas decorations to keep up my festive spirit during finals. I decided to see what I could pull together to create a make-shift vignette out of things I already own. Here is what I came up with:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWZWz3slpmsgBu-owBaKNNAN8eb_YnDgYXTUr2qxxPIfmHLpmFT0GbwA5sL8UaL6j-48hECwv3YSeojSoCEI8tldo_rHj2h-p381RH5ur6sNt_IAJZyspiF5S62P8BtoETtc6-n-cu8vA6/s1600/005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWZWz3slpmsgBu-owBaKNNAN8eb_YnDgYXTUr2qxxPIfmHLpmFT0GbwA5sL8UaL6j-48hECwv3YSeojSoCEI8tldo_rHj2h-p381RH5ur6sNt_IAJZyspiF5S62P8BtoETtc6-n-cu8vA6/s640/005.JPG" width="496" /></a></div>I tied a red ribbon around my mercury glass jar, moved my beloved brass deer over, and created the 'hope peace cookies' card using a stencil. I was inspired by this card from Kate Spade:<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img height="400" id="il_fi" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3qbT0T_CBu_J8_6HviFbRk_B6vWv3KGOVKEjmzvlhjOPInJ2C2f9GyEuv-YL5DdItx2QtUr9xYG3eWArgTh3TIGKkTN5Py5_tJdsIWSJtXtGVxLBEYPOerNY-sn86OHZrRk7RWxP7QIPS/s400/102507_katespade_400x400-1.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="400" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/kate-spade-new-york-hope-peace-cookies-foldover-note-cards-10-pack/3357962">via nordstrom</a></td></tr></tbody></table>It just goes to show you that every day decor items can be repurposed for multiple uses! I can't wait to go home and decorate my tree and put up my real decorations, but for now this tides over my Christmas cravings! xox<br /> <img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh609/tiffanyleighinteriordesign/Tiffany-27.jpg" /><br /></div>

Run out to the dollar store and get some disco balls and strings of beads, then bling out your chandelier like the picture above. It adds instant glamor and sparkle!<br /><br />And of course, look fabulous yourself. End 2011 by looking and feeling your best, no matter what you're doing.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiErmysBCqicFEpHu0U3_U2m7YoMXxuyAh6WLRUvvYvME7FKcYm-1-JqdB92n2OOY92V3gDDyoPUAHR_EvoIls-DHH2jkyR2cCLmXkmI7Bsu_q0boOfhLlfg8_dM1CwQNCo421KG-rFtQ/s1600/pink+dress.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiErmysBCqicFEpHu0U3_U2m7YoMXxuyAh6WLRUvvYvME7FKcYm-1-JqdB92n2OOY92V3gDDyoPUAHR_EvoIls-DHH2jkyR2cCLmXkmI7Bsu_q0boOfhLlfg8_dM1CwQNCo421KG-rFtQ/s320/pink+dress.JPG" width="213" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>This is the dress that my boyfriend got me for Christmas, and I know he can't wait to see me wear it! New Years Eve offers up the perrrrfect opportunity to get a little dolled up.  I'm pairing it with the necklace he got for me, and some black alligator pumps (a la Breakfast at Tiffany's: "Be a Darling and look under the bed for a pair of alligator shoes"-Holly Golightly). I'll post some pictures tomorrow!<br /><br />What are your NYE party decorating tips and what are YOU wearing?<br />I'd love to know!<br />-Tiffany Leigh
