Since Christmas is
just around the corner and winter has arrived quite a while ago I decided to
share my holiday/winter essentials.
Okay, let's start with Fashion
Winter
is probably my favourite season for cloths as you can wear layers and pair
everything up with cozy sweaters. Then there are the Christmas themed items!
I'm a very big fan of those and so the pieces I'm about to share with you will
feature Christmassy prints.
The
first item is a woolen jacket. I love it because it's very soft and warm. This
is the perfect piece for a cozy day inside when you don't feel like doing
anything.
Then
I also like a pair of leggings with a similar print. I've had them for quite
some time and I still wear them as soon as we get to December and sometimes
already in November.
Of
course I can't go without my Christmas and winter themed socks. They are just
super cute and boost ones holiday spirit.
If
you know me you probably already guessed that this category will be in an
essentials post, because I rarely go without anything on my nails. For the
winter I like darker colors and my favourites are purples or deep burgundy
reds. Around Christmas I throw in some gold glitter for an extra festive
feeling.
The
polishes I'll wear for the holidays are p2 Can't Get Enough, Flormar in the
shade 021 and Essence Make It Golden. I also use the Art Deco Gold Glitter with
an ultra thin brush to create more delicate designs.
Lip Products
I
generally really like red lipstick but during the festive season they are a
MUST! My favourite ones are the Manhattan Perfect Creamy And Care in the shade
45N and Rimmel Kate Moss in the shade 107. The first one is a very creamy,
shimmery red and the second one is a mat, deep burgundy red.
The
third product is a lip lacquer from Rimmels Apocalips collection. The shade is
Big Bang and it’s a bright red which you can wear with everything.

Music
Another
essential are Christmas radio stations. I'll usually start listening to this
kind of music around the middle of November because it puts me in a festive
mood. Also I like bringing back my favourite holiday themed songs on my phone.
Songs
Radios
Rautemusik Christmas Channel (They have the cutest app ever! ->)
Movies
There
are two films I usually watch around the 25th of December tough I don’t
necessarily watch them every year. One is the German version of
Cinderella (German title: Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenputtel). The cool thing is
that it’s not a cartoon. Also instead of a fairy Cinderella has three magic
hazelnuts which grant her a wish each when thrown over the shoulder. The other
movie is The Holiday. Basically I like it because it’s a romantic comedy and
this is my favourite film genre. Then the soundtrack was composed by Hans
Zimmer and he’s just a genius.
Okay
that’s it. I hope you liked reading this and have a great Holiday :)
