I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is truly the most wonderful time of the year! It's been a strange year, as I'm sure we'll all agree, however I've found the general consensus surrounding Christmas is that we're each determined to end the year on a positive note. Personally, I'm achieving this by throwing myself headfirst into a pool of festive activities and traditions to pour a little glitter into the season. Dressed by Odd Molly, one of my long-term favourite brands, I've kicked off the festivities in three magical ways. But wait, there's more!

Who spotted the super special address on the envelope?! Let's get one thing straight, if we're sending out cards to all of our loved ones, Santa Claus has got to be on the mailing list! Seriously though, there's something so beautiful about receiving Christmas cards from your nearest and dearest across the map. This year, it feels all the more intimate thanks to the social distancing measures that have been in place for most of us. My advice? Choose the cards with the most glitter, they're guaranteed to put smiles on a few faces...
Now the temperature has dropped and frost-covered scenes can be admired in the (very) early mornings, I've wrapped up warm in this Odd Molly Cool With Wool Jumper and Odd Molly Rare & Free Coat in a gentle 'peach sand' shade. This appeals to my eternal love for neutrals while still offering something a little more special for winter via the detachable fur cuffs. The oversized style allows for chunky knits to be worn underneath without adding bulk, while the powder pink quilted lining adds a luxe finishing touch. Sure, you could say I'm smitten.

Moving back indoors and into the warm, it's time to decorate the Christmas tree! I had a Nordmann Fir delivered a little earlier than usual this year in a bid to bring the festive season closer a little sooner. It's made a magical difference to the end of this month by filling the living room with nature and warm twinkling fairy lights by night for the cosiest ambience. If you haven't figured it out by now, I can absolutely be considered a Christmas enthusiast and so the more time to enjoy the festive season, the better. Most of the decorations I'm collecting are by Gisela Graham and Joanna Buchanan, with some basic golden baubles serving as 'fillers' throughout.
I have a special place in my heart for loungewear and even more so when it's intended for outdoors and yet so comfortable, it can worn for both settings! This Odd Molly Pernilla Jumpsuit in 'Misty grape' (a warmer hue of purple than my photos would suggest due to colour editing), has been designed from velvet and features a cropped wide leg, square neck and super flattering silhouette. My favourite design feature? The elasticated ruching across the chest, making it possible to cosy up at home in comfort without the restrictions of a bra (let's not pretend you don't know what I mean), while also dressing it up to head outside once restrictions lift! I can already tell the amount of wear I'm going to get out of this velvet jumpsuit will be insane...

I know you'll have heard this before, but I genuinely enjoy giving gifts more than I enjoy receiving them. Of course, both are pretty nice situations to be in, however there's something so exciting about watching someone's face light up as they unwrap something unexpected and wonderful. With this in mind, wrapping Christmas presents radiates such a warm sense of occasion!
I love to have festive music playing while I go Sellotape-mad. In these images, I'm wearing the ultra cosy Odd Molly Love Radiator Sweater in a gorgeous rose pink shade. This fluffy fleece is the cosiest piece sitting prettily in my wardrobe right now and looks just as good out and about as it does tucked up at home wrapping presents.

I'd love to hear whether you've started doing any of these three Christmas traditions? Let me know in the comments below to spread some festive magic!

Thanks to Odd Molly for working with me on this post!
Such a cozy article!! I love everything from your outfit (the coat is so much fun!), to the tree decoration. I've been kind of wanting a cozy, perhaps knitted, indoor set, so should probably get one for Christmas. Kind of tired of all the tights and hoodies I've been wearing. Have a lovely week Gabrielle! Xx
ReplyDeleteI've started listening to Christmas music and wrapped all my presents, I've been too organised this year! I absolutely ADORE all the clothes you're wearing here Gabrielle! I really love that coat, it's gorgeous, I will be looking at Odd Molly for some new clothes for Christmas! x

I love your monochrome outfit under that statement coat, how nice! :) We've got our decorations up although I'm always open to more, haha! it's a balance because my husband isn't a particularly Christmas-y person but it's a HUGE deal for our family. I've got the Christmas candles out, the music playing, and all our trees up and tinsel everywhere, haha! He'd be happy with just one tree :)
ReplyDeleteHope that your week is off to a great start! We spent the day shopping with my sister yesterday, it was so much fun :)
