Happy New Years - Dining Table

1 comment
Happy Happy New Years 




When I thought of designing my New Years Day table, bright whites and glistening silvers came to my mind. Something about this combination gave it a fresh look, which is perfect for starting a new year. 


I didn't have silver place mats, but I wanted my theme to carry across the table well. I used silver paper plates under the white plates and bowls from IKEA. To have a fancy table isn't all about spending, it's about utilising and getting creative with what's hiding around your house. 

The place cards were another sale find from Selfridges in 2014. Coming in under 50p at further reductions, great as always!


The disposable table cloth is from Asda for £2. It's so easy to wipe clean, especially if you ever host for children. 
The napkin holders are from Next, coming in a set of 4, with detail of hammered metal. 

Some of the ornaments seen in the images above I used in previous posts, have a look back if you haven't seen it already

My colour schemes are usually inspired by something that catches my eye and from that I refine it by adding complimenting details that relate to that holiday or special occasion. 

The standout pots of popcorn came from Tiger in a set of 10 or 12, with a selection of polka dot and striped packets. They inject a little fun into the table and a celebratory touch, after all it is a happy holiday!

Thanks once again and for joining me with more festive tips, sale picks and creative ways to host your meals throughout the holidays.

Christmas Table Decor

Merry Christmas!

As the day is gone and people are still in a festive mood of holiday parties and the New Years celebrations swiftly approaching I want to show you a few things to do over the holidays that will transform your average table spread into a luxurious one. 


Rule number one - Shop the sale! 
So these wonderful beaded snowflake place card holders and napkins were purchased in the NEXT sale. The placecard holders came with pieces of card, which I believe made a lovely personal touch. 

I picked up the mini crackers at Selfridges, in the sale of course. This was one of my best purchases as its not too big, understated, but a wonderful detail with fun questions inside. Plus, I paid less than a £1 for a pack. 



Now IKEA do some amazing lights where you tend to have the option of hanging or  using them on a table, which is what I decided to do. 

Table Cloths and runners. 
Places like Next, Asda and IKEA have a wide range that is definitely value for money. 
The decanter/vase was purchased at Asda it's a fancy way to pour your drinks.

Centre to the table is a glass bowl of various balls. The great thing about having a neutral colour is that you can use it all year round and when Christmas comes round or even Easter you can add different colours relative to that special time of the year. 

I'll be back soon with more tips, sale picks and creative ways to host your meals throughout the holidays.

A/W13 Style Edit 1.1

Christmas Holidays are here and you'll be going out a whole lot more often. What's effortless, style worthy and doesn't kick me out of my comfort zone like a elf suit? Take a look

Jeans jackets are not synonymous to summer, pull them out this winter. Whether or not yours is lined with sheepskin you can layer it up and purchase fur lapels.



No need to over do it with accessories the right watch will do what you thought 10 accessories would.

Purchase shades in the winter, best time to get them as you won't be bombarded with all the new ones they throw at you in the summer. On the plus side you will probably find ones that suit your face rather then the ones you've seen a celebrity wear.



Black on black star print tee, understated but noticeable.





New Balance, comfortable, supports the arch in the foot and ties well into most outfits and outings.
