I received the new iphone 4S for Christmas and I absolutely love the camera on it. Such an upgrade from the old one. Here are some of my favorite captures.
 

Wishing Everyone a very Merry Christmas!

The photos from Retro Love are close to my heart. When I look through her beautiful etsy shop I get excited for my next travels. She has lovely images of Hawaii so I get the feel of my starting point and then looking at images of Venice get me inspired for my Italy trip. I just love the mood and feel of her shop. I hope I can bring back some photos from my travels as beautiful as hers. Come check her shop out HERE for more gorgeous photography!

I love how elegant and chic this photo feels and the colors are so lovely. Beautiful!

Loving the way these blues and grays are working together. The colors are so cool and calming.

Yesterday I received my new Balsam Hill Wreath! I decided to go with one that had lights. This is the one I chose. I decided to put it in my hallway so we can see it right when we walk in. We didn't do a big tree this year so I added my decorations to the lovely wreath. We also have a fake little tree so we still have a place to open presents. I love how it came out and it will be easy to put them back in storage for next year. :)

How is your holiday decorating going?

I came across this photo the other day and just fell in love with the mood and colors of it. I really like the transparent effect. Does anyone know if this is created with the camera or if its a photoshop trick? Would love to be able to do this with some of my photos as nicely.

Its starting to feel like Christmas around here especially with all this cold rainy weather. Christmas lights are up and I'm drinking hot drinks in the evening. So fun!

What makes Christmas special for you?

I love the idea of using your not so traditional colors for Christmas. A great alternative is vintage blue greens and pinks. So pretty!

There is a sweet sale going on at Jeannie n Richard jewelry shop on etsy. You can get 17% off on any of their beautiful handmade pieces. Such great style and perfect for the holidays. I am majorly coveting this white ring below. Which item(s) are you loving?

(sale ends December 18th @ 11:59pm - CODE: XMASLOVE @ checkout)

I think these colors are just perfect for December.

Happy Monday everyone! The other day I ended up putting out my Christmas decorations. So fun! I just love the ambiance of the string lights. I ended up putting them above the kitchen cabinets and around some of the windows. I want to keep them up all year round!
