I can't believe we're already in to week four of December, and that Christmas is only a few days away. Where has this month gone? I feel like I blinked and missed most of the month some how.
It's crazy as I haven't done anything exciting at all so far this Christmas. My one bit of fun has been accessorising my outfits (or PJs!) with a different Christmas brooch every day (I know; I'm sad), and I'm here to show you the ones I wore during the third week of the month.
December 15th- I kicked off week three of December with the most untraditionally-accessorised snowman I've ever seen- Stay Frosty, Snowman from the Modern Holiday collection 2022. I love how Erstwilder put a modern spin on an old Christmas classic with gorgeous jewel tones, and lots of glitter.
December 16th- Back to something a little more traditional today with a holly and robin brooch... except that it's an exotic Australian robin instead of the European kind we all know and love in Britain. This one is Miss Mistletoe from the All Wrapped Up collection 2019. Not one of my favourites, but still cute and festive.
December 17th- I apparently decided to remain with the winged things on the Australian continent a little longer, and wore a kookaburra snowglobe brooch called Seasonal Merriment from the An Australian Christmas collection 2021 today. It might not be the most classically festive design, but it's so beautiful, and one of my all time favourites.
December 18th- Twasn't the night before Christmas, but a mouse was definitely stirring all through the house today. An adorably festive little mouse called Milly the Mouse, from this year's Merry Menagerie collection. I was planning to save her until Christmas Eve, but I just couldn't wait any longer to wear her.
December 19th- I did some double-brooching today, wearing Erstwilder's Darcy the Deer (the free gift-with-purchase brooch from the Merry Menagerie range), with a mini Lipstick and Chrome bauble brooch (another freebie I got with my Merry Menagerie order). I thought the turquoise bauble went perfectly with the even tinier one Darcy is carrying around.
December 20th- Some days, you just need to sparkle, and at Christmas time, Snuggy Snowman from the 2020 Pete Cromer Collection, is my go-to. He's so glittery, and shimmers like a diamond mine under the fairy lights! I love him!
December 21st- And for the shortest day of the year, I went with Treacle Treat from the 2018 Festive Splendour collection. I'm not a huge fan of Christmas pudding, but there's just something about cold, dark winter Sundays that make me nostalgic for steamed puddings with custard- probably as my Mum often made them when we were little. It's hard to tell from the photo, but the brown resin has a tortoise-shell-like effect, and it's so much prettier in real life.
And those are the Christmas brooches that I wore last week.
I still have more left to wear before the month is through, so I'll try to squeeze in one final brooch post after Christmas. In the meantime, you can catch my daily Christmas Brooch of the Day posts on Instagram here.
Have you worn any Christmas accessories this week?
