12th Dec - Tasteful or not tasteful? That is the seasonal question. Normally, after spending a huge chunk of the year doing beautiful Christmas looks, in one form of another, I like to kick back a little with some kitsch and fun styles. One season, I decided to wrap all my gifts to look like the person I was giving it to (making a wrapped, garden spade look like my dad was a fave) One year my sister arrived at mine to wrap our prezzies with the most disgusting, multicoloured wrap with a photographic print of lairy, vintage baubles and immediately said ‘don’t judge the wrap I went Christmas shopping with PMT’ this became one of our private sayings whenever we saw anything tacky, as in ‘must have gone Christmas shopping with PMT’ I’m committed to using as little waste as possible in future and creating as little as poss in terms of items that can’t be reused or recycled (the above mentioned lairy bauble paper is probably still intact in some landfill) with the hundreds of press shows and exhibitions I have styled and designed, I get the chills at the volume of stuff I have used for a few days (sometimes hours) that has headed to the dump. So here we are, my very humble eco offering: paper that can be recycled from @dobbiesgardencentre (peel the tape off before sticking it in the recycling bin) brown paper, ribbon that will head back to the ribbon box, a branch my pal Wayne chopped down and all decorated with stuff supplied by Mother Nature. ✌🏽🎅🏽🌲 #eco #recycling #ecochristmas #green #easybeinggreen #recyledchristmas #boxingdaybreakfast #leftovers #christma#dadsroastpotatoes #christmasmemories #christmas #christmaslooks #dobbiesgardencentre #instagramadvent #leejackdesign #holidays #tistheseason #adventcalendar #rusticchristmas #christmastree #christmascountdown #christmas2018 #christmasfun #christmascheer #christmasmood #christmaslove #christmasfood #veggiechristmas #christmasadventcalendar https://www.instagram.com/p/BrSEK0nDSFn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dxprgexp0nxh
