Inspirations: Christmas with a hint of mint

It's Boxing Day and we hope that all our clients, readers, friends & the b.loved b.team have had a magical Christmas day and are relaxing for the rest of the holidays! We had a fantastic Christmas day dinner followed by drinks with family & a truly beautiful Tiramisu made by our lovely sister-in-law Caroline, delicious!

Now we are looking forward to an upcoming New Years dinner party and have put together an inspiration board based on the very pretty outfit featured and it's mint colour tones...

Inspirations: Christmas With a Hint of Silver...

With Christmas day just around the corner we have had a few spare minutes to put together a couple of our own last minute mood boards for our own Christmas time inspirations. Today we are sharing a calming cream based colour palette of neutrals with dashes of silver and as always for itty bitty & bijou it just had to have some sparkle in there too!

Wishing all our itty bitty & bijou friends, clients and readers of our blog a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year filled with fun & happiness...

 

Inspirations: A Christmas Hot Chocolate Party...

Christmas is soon upon us and there a plenty of magical and super stylish inspirations around at the moment as well as great gift ideas. Something we have always wanted to do at Christmas time is to arrange a Hot Chocolate Party or gathering for our nearest and dearest!

What is a hot chocolate party? Well our idea is that friends and family gather at our home - decked out in all its Christmas glory. We create a hot chocolate bar which has all the necessary ingredients for each guest to create their own perfect hot chocolate! Jars and bowls are filled with complimentary additions, for example, marshmallows, nutmeg, vanilla sugar cubes, and so on. Accompany this with some scrumptious homemade cookies and gingerbread biscuits and pop on some delightfully festive music and you have yourself a hot chocolate party!

Here's our inspiration for hot chocolate party with a hint of pink...
