'Tis the Season..

Sooooo it is definitely that time of the year again and this year I decided to put up my very own Christmas tree for my bedroom! I've always wanted one since I was little, but let's be honest, it was not necessarily the most practical idea for a child. Although I still live with my parents, I am at the age where I am buying my own presents for my family and friends [instead of my mom purchasing them for me], so why not place them under my own tree? Right? I am all about decorations and being festive! Now, since my room has a very strict color scheme, consisting of turquoise walls and E V E R Y T H I N G else black&&white, I had to apply the same rules to my tree...

I am pretty much in love with the way it turned out. It is a rather short one [only 4 feet], but SO cute! I purchased the white tree with white lights for $25. That was the easy part. I guess I didn't realize how hard it would be to find BLACK Christmas tree decor... However, I did the best that I could. I found the black beaded garland in the wedding section at my local craft store. And let me tell you, it was pricey. But it was literally my only option, unless I wanted to spray paint regular silver beaded garland black [which I was not about to do]! I think my favorite part about it are the black glittery snowflakes (: GET THIS; they were 4 for $1!! INsane. I know. Perfection. I also added a boxed set of glittery silver ornaments of varying shapes and sizes. I think the big round glittery black ornaments just balance everything out perfectly!

And finally to top it all off.. I added this gorgeous masquerade mask! I don't think anything else would have topped this! [No punn intended] It cost about $25 [yikes!], but any other kind of topper would have just looked silly with this style of tree, you know? It is handmade with a super glittery mask, diamond rhinestones around the eye holes and beautiful black and white feathers in a flower design on the side!

I hope everyone is having fun with their Christmas trees like I am! And no I did not buy black and white wrapping paper for the presents underneath. Do you really think I would do something like that? 

... Yeah me too. Guilty /:

Gooodnight my little snowflakes!
