Once again, party season is almost upon us, and it won’t be long before a flurry of invitations arrives at your door. Use this time to choose your dress and shoes and think about the beautiful looks you’d like to try for Christmas and New Year. You can go classic, sparkly, or try something unexpected for a hint of novelty over the festive period. Check out these beauty looks to see which inspires you for party season.

Sparkle Bright

Christmas and New Year are the one time of year when adult women can get away—in fact, are encouraged—to wear as much glitter as possible. If glitter’s not your thing, there are plenty of other looks to try, but if you’re a fan of the sparkles layer them up as eyeshadows to create a light-catching look.

Glamor Galore

It wouldn’t be Christmas without somebody turning up to the party with a stunning classic red lip and a sharp cat-eye look. Practice getting your eyeliner perfect now, so on the day you just need to worry about turning up and wowing everyone.

Yule Tide Fun

Why not subvert expectations of glitter and glamor, with a simple pop of color? Check out this stripped-back beauty look, which allows all the attention to focus on the bright orange lips. Orange is a shade more associated with summer, but who says it can’t spark some Christmas joy? Also, this beauty look requires minimal top-ups, so you’ll be free to enjoy drinking and dancing all night long.

We’re used to celebrating going overboard with everything from their outfits to home décor, but they’re taking a more subtle approach this holiday season. Minimalist Christmas trees are having a moment right now, and these stars already embraced this rising trend.

Kylie Jenner

With a net worth of billion dollars, Jenner could’ve decorated her Christmas tree with as many ornaments as she wanted to, but she decided to simply put some Christmas lights up and call it a day.

Selena Gomez

Gomez took a similarly simple approach to her holiday decorations this year. In addition to Christmas lights, she added a couple of ornaments to the mix, but not enough to overcrowd her tree.

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi

The Jersey Shore star also felt that Christmas lights are the only thing her tree needs in order to shine. She gave it a cheeky vibe by hanging a couple of elf socks on the branches, but that was pretty much it.

Ashley Tisdale

When your Christmas tree comes in an unusual color, you don’t need much else to make it pop. That’s why Ashley Tisdale decided to go with a pink tree, and we’re pretty sure that Sharpay Evans would approve.

Christmas is a magical time of the year but this year, like many other things, it will be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The virus may not affect how you spend holidays at home, but what about the famous Christmas markets in European cities?

It’s clear that we won’t get to travel and enjoy the holiday season in the same way we’re used to. One of the most wonderful things about Christmas in Europe is that virtually every city holds a magical Christmas market, and the markets are the most beautiful in big cities like Vienna and Prague. What will things be like this year?

Vienna’s Christas market is scheduled to happen from November 13th to December 26. The organizers are currently trying to make sure all the safety measures can be followed, which means there won’t be any indoor activities and the number of stands and visitors will be smaller.

Some German cities like Köln have canceled their Christmas markets, while others are still hoping to have them. One thing is sure—Christmas markets will look and feel a lot different than in the past years.

After so many ups and downs this uncertain year has brought us, we completely understand that people just want to feel the comfort of tradition and spend holidays with family and closes friends. Victorian-style Christmas has never looked better and the stores have everything you need to recreate the magical atmosphere in your home.

The dominant colors will be red, green, and gold, after many years of us exploring new styles and trends. Big, fluffy trees decorated with classic ornaments will look wonderful against the fireplace or whichever source of warm light you prefer.

The fall has just started but the air already smells like snow on the colder nights and we know that Christmas is not too far away!

If you need a radio station to go with your mood, we’re happy to say that Christmas FM is back for the season!

The station plays the most popular holiday hits so if that’s what you need to lift your mood a bit, you know what to do.

We’re already well into October which means that it’s totally normal to start thinking about Christmas trees. After all, Hallmark’s already showing Christmas movies. It’s never too soon to start finding the perfect Christmas tree! But, having space for a Christmas tree isn’t always possible, especially when you live in a one-bedroom apartment. That’s where half Christmas trees come in. They save space and they don’t hide any ornaments in the back.

Half Christmas trees are artificial trees that come sliced in half down the middle, which makes them perfect for standing up against the wall or tucking them into small spaces. They’re designed with flat backs to rest against a wall, so even though they take up half the space, they look like they’re full-size.

While you can opt for a mini Christmas tree, these half-sized versions look more like traditional trees and the best part is that you only have to decorate one side. This means fewer decorations and less effort, which is a huge bonus if you tend to get stressed during the holiday season. Some of the trees even come with lights.

There are tons of places you can buy half Christmas trees including Hammacher Schlemmer which has 6.5-foot trees for $249.95 in two varieties, white lights and multicolor lights, Bed Bath & Beyond which has a 7-foot tree with white lights for $165.99, and Target which sells one with a stand for $69.99.

Have you considered getting a black Christmas tree for this holiday season? If you have, you’re definitely not alone; black trees are so popular right now that they are on their way to become a classic, along with green and white trees.

Black Christmas trees were a huge hit last year, and it seems like their popularity is only growing. There are over 13,000 results on Instagram under the hashtag #blackchristmastree and we must admit that some of them look particularly elegant and beautiful.

Using black details in an interior is nothing new. In fact, you can never go wrong with black since it’s a classic, just like in the fashion world. But black Christmas trees seemed like a breakthrough idea at first, until people accepted them and turned them into an easy way to keep their homes monochromatic even during the holidays. If you have plenty of color in your home, a black tree will stand out, and you can create the effect you want by decorating it in your favorite style.

What do you think about black Christmas trees?

Every year brings new Christmas decoration trends and it can be difficult to follow them all. Sometimes it’s a brand new color scheme, other times there’s an ornament you simply must have or a particular decorating style to follow. But what about Christmas tree baubles? Here are the most prominent trends for 2019.

Sea Life

Many people will decorate their Christmas tree with sea life motifs this year, and there are so many adorable baubles to choose from. Whether you live in a place with a warm winter climate or you simply want to honor summer, fish, dolphins, shells, and stars, they can all look great on your tree.

‘80s Christmas

The ‘80s are back, at least when it comes to Christmas tree decoration. Turn your tree into a disco playground and relive your childhood with disco ball baubles.

Wanderlust

If you’d rather travel than stay at home during the holidays, then you may want your Christmas tree to follow that theme as well. You can decorate it with baubles in the shape of cars, luggage, busses, and landmarks from all around the world.

When it comes to Christmas decorating, do you favor traditional or trendy items? We believe that both categories have their own charm and it’s totally up to you what you will choose. In case you want to mix things up and follow some of the latest trends this year, here’s your guide.

Disco Colors

This is the perfect trend if you have collected all kinds of different baubles and decorations over the years and want your Christmas tree to be colorful and magnificent. Use as many colors as you want, add some ‘80s themed baubles and don’t forget tinsel! Sprinkle gold or silver glitter on top of everything.

Snowy Tree

Create a winter wonderland by getting a tree covered in fake snow or spray some snow from the can onto your tree. Decorate it with white and silver baubles for the subtle effect that resembles snow glowing in the moonlight.

Eco Christmas

Buy a locally grown real tree and decorate it with DIY baubles you can make by recycling items you have at home like paper, small glass containers, cardboard boxes, etc. Don’t forget to replant the tree in January!

This year, make sure your Christmas tree is placed on the most visible place because it’s going to look as gorgeous as never before!

For many people, the holiday season is the best time of the year. Whether you have kids or not, decorating the Christmas tree is a special ritual that brings lots of joy so you want to plan it carefully. 

Home decor can be traditional or modern, but it should always translate the holiday spirit. If you want to do something original this year, try the all-white decor.

Even your Christmas tree can be white, but it doesn’t have to. Green tree with white ornaments will look just fabulous, and you can easily spice things up with another color, such as silver or gold. 

White decoration comes in many different shapes and materials so you can still remain faithful to your own style. Two people can have completely different all-white Christmas decor! It’s totally up to you, and to get you started, we have an inspirational gallery below.
