What would Emma Pillsbury Wear? --- Holiday Fashion Challenge

 Any Glee fan (and especially any Glee fan who loves adorable clothes) probably knows about the What Would Emma Pillsbury Wear blog. From time to time followers are given the chance to create outfits for special occasions Emma might hypothetically find herself in. This time, we are given a chance to create a holiday look for Emma. This is what I came up with:



Wheee! Polyvore is fun!

This Year's Christmas Mantle

For your viewing pleasure, here is my holiday mantle!




If you know anything about me, you know traditional is not really my thing. Don't get me wrong; Green and red can be beautifully done, but these blue and purple jewel tones just make my heart flutter!


I filled my favorite accessory--the apothecary jars-- to the brim with snow, ornaments, and pine cones. I like all the different textures together. Rough and natural, smooth and shiny, light and sparkly... 


 This year I added the feathery garland (originally used around my wedding cake stand) and sprinkled it with fake snow.


 I also scattered these blue glass ornaments for some sparkle.




I'm pleasantly surprised to see that I'm getting better at this whole mantle decorating thing. Below I'm showing you the difference between last year's mantle and this year's. I've learned that the apothecaries look best* packed from top to bottom, side to side, without much empty space left. And the shelf itself looks more luxurious when layered with fabric, feathers or foliage, as opposed to empty.


And I didn't spend a dime on it! Off to see what else I can throw feathers and glitter on! (I'd be a drag queen's best friend!)

*- at least in my opinion!
