T&W's Head of Styling Jessica Bellef shares her Christmas hopes and dreams, along with a handy styling tip.
My Christmas style is void of tinsel. I get itchy at the sight of it. I am also not a fan of the classic Christmas colour combination of red and green, and prefer softer hues. If I have flowers and greenery from the garden, brown paper and a box of ribbons and twine, I can happily deck the halls, the presents and the table. Add a hint of metallic for the occasion and I am done.
This year I'll be buying lots of sun cream and Aeroguard. I plan on spending every minute of the Christmas holidays outside and all our entertaining will happen outdoors. Don't want our guests going home sun burnt and bitten.
My failsafe Christmas styling tip is brown paper to wrap presents. Spending less on the paper means you can go crazy with the ribbons and bows. Finish off the presents with a tiny sprig of flowers or a plastic dinosaur... whatever takes your fancy.
This Christmas I'll be serving and hosting the family Christmas lunch for the first time. This is our first Christmas in our new home and the pressure is on. There will be the roasted bird and veges, probably cold cuts and a range of salads. My favourite part of Aussie Christmas lunch though is prawns and mangoes, they will definitely feature. Hmmmm that sounds like a lot of cooking… perhaps it will be a potluck lunch this year!
My Christmas playlist includes old crooners. For a few years during the late 1960's, KFC (then known as Kentucky Fried Chicken) released promotional Christmas albums, featuring vocalists of the time singing Christmas classics. 1968's offering "Christmas Day with Colonel Sanders" is dusted off every year in our family and spun on the record player. The kitsch factor is high, but the crackle of the record and the festive tunes fill the room with warm fuzzies.
All I want for Christmas is a subscription to The New Yorker and a kayak. A day on the water, reading in the sunshine- that's happiness right there.
After Christmas I'm planning to soak in the ocean and spend a lot of time barefoot.
