Secret Santa at work is always so much fun! I have a wonderful time thinking up surprises and gifts for my co-workers. I love decorating their desk, bringing goodies and planning what to get them for Christmas. This year, I was a little stumped because I had to play Secret Santa for a boy! It’s easier when it’s a girl, you just need to put up ornaments and lights and it will make her happy. But for a boy, I wasn’t sure what sort of decor or surprise would bring a smile to his face. Thankfully with a little help from his…
London lights up like magic during December, it seems the city brings out it’s best for Christmas. One of my favorite attractions in London during this time is Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park – a Christmas fair which is open during the months of November to January.

The best part is that entry to the wonderland is absolutely free, you only have to pay for the attractions or rides you choose to indulge in. Apart from all the rides, they also have a bunch of themed cafes, restaurants, Christmas markets, street…

They remind me of a simpler, nicer time and a Christmas spent with family, friends, love and gratitude. These vintage cards reinforce the values of the holiday, and help us focus on all the wonderful…
I like coming up with a theme for decorating my Christmas tree every year. It is no fun to pile on all the ornaments in a random fashion on the tree. A themed Christmas tree on the other hand is so much more interesting to put together. I feel it looks and photographs better too! Pinterest is my biggest source of inspiration for Christmas tree decor ideas. Some interesting themes which caught my eye recently are pictured below. Which one of these should I pick for decorating my tree this year? Vote for your favorite using comments below. (PS – I…
Parties and December go hand in hand! Whether it is a Christmas get together, a holiday party at work or a New Year’s bash – going out gets more frequent in December. And every evening out is an excuse to go shopping and pick up a new party dress! When it comes to party dresses, there are plenty of options to choose from – both in terms of tailoring and embellishments. I feel like we are living in a time where one can pretty much carry off anything – lace, sequins, beads, velvet – and still not commit a fashion faux pas. Personally, I avoid dresses with…
