Christmas Decorating!!

With exams over as of yesterday (YAY!) and the silly season upon us (only 4.5 weeks left of work for the year), I have the time to focus on wedding planning and Christmas decorating on the weekends.

It's my first Christmas at my new place and I am soo excited to start shopping for Christmas deco!! The Myer catalogue provided lots of colour ideas, silver and purple my favourite! Vogue forums also had a thread on colour schemes, and Country Road had some AMAZING baubles which I was close to buying but couldnt justify spending...I also love love these Christmas deco inspirations and love the whole minimalist look - if only i had a fireplace or a shelf like ones below!!

I'm thinking maybe a small tree, silver and purple or silver and blue or just white with gold accents...
With a $150 budget, I hope I find some really cute decos (and matching wrapping paper).
