Christmas Lights On A Mirror
As the world knows, I've already started decorating for the holidays. The best part of the decorations? The indoor Christmas lights. Now, don't get me wrong. I love me some outdoor Christmas lights, but the thing is: we rent. A basement. So we don't exactly have the right (nor ladder-possessing ability) to hang any such "holiday" lights outside our home. Thankfully the indoor lights satiate my holiday urges. The great thing about these lights is that you can put them up anywhere (ie. everywhere).
I saw this photo (below) on Pinterest months ago and it still looms in my memory.
So I had to do this (below) in my bedroom.
I know it's not exactly as nice as the previous one, but man do I love it. I think I may even keep them up long after Christmas. I feel like it gives it that vanity mirror effect, but for your whole body. Yep, that's decided. I'm keeping it. CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!
Martha Stewart Bedding Collection
This is the autumn/winter bedspread I just bought for my bed from Macy's. I was going to show you a picture of how it looks on my bed, but I'm not sure I'd want you to see my bed since beds are so terribly personal. Instead here's what the gorgeous print looks like up close.
It's a flannel duvet cover that was on sale for $70 that apparently I couldn't live without. And honestly, after having slept in it the past few days, it's one of my favourite things in this house now. It's more comfortable than anything I've ever slept in, it's weird - I feel like it's almost a hotel bed.
I'm not a fan of how duvets feel (and I don't own one), so instead I bought this flannel duvet cover so that I could put my regular old comforter inside. That way I have a beautiful, warm new cover, but with the comfort of my old, I'm-sick-of-its-pattern comforter inside hiding. I swear to God it works just as well as with any duvet. I hate even writing "duvet" - such a stupid word. Almost like it knows it's expensive.
Anyhow, if you don't have a duvet or don't like them, then please try out this idea. Duvet covers can be costly, but if you look hard enough you can find a great one (or even better, a flannel one) for between $60 - $80.
