This year feels different.

I’m not sure why but for the first time in a long time I’m feeling the smallest butterfly stirrings of excitement about Christmas.

We’re talking pinks, reds and golds. Neon and pearlescents, rich greens and baby blues all topped off with a healthy dose of glittery kitsch.

And it looks amazing!
