✯ Hello Shiny Stars! ✯

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ 

"Jewellery has the power to be this one little thing that can make you feel unique."
 

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ 

It is less than one month until Christmas so it's time to start to think about the presents. I know, some of you have already finished the shopping but I haven't started it yet and I'm pretty sure, I'm not the only one.

To get some inspiration I would like to share a jewellery wishlist with you. All items are from Hugh Rice. Let's have a look at it.  :)

1. Swarovski Amorous Versatile Pendant Necklace: it has two heart shaped pendants. With a mix of silver colour and rose gold it is the perfect present to someone who means a lot to you. Share the love.  :)

2. Swarovski Treasure Star Nano Pendant Necklace: two beautiful necklaces with two different star shaped pendants. Shine like a star with it and wear a piece of the universe close to your heart.  :)
3. Emporio Armani Silver & Zirconia Triple Circle Necklace: it reminds me of a beautiful necklace that I got from my father. The necklace is more than 1200 miles away from me at the moment, but I still like it.  :)
4. Mikimoto Ladies White Gold And Cluster Pearl Chain Bracelet: it looks very simple and stylish with the pearls and I was surprised as I saw its prize but dream big.  :)
5. Nomination Blue Paris Watch: I love this watch or more precisely these watches. It's not only because its blue colour, but also the interchangeable watchbands: a black leather strap and a stainless steel links strap. One present, two different looks. You can't dislike it.  ;)

What do you think about the items I chose? Which is your favourite?

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

✯ Hello shiny stars! ✯ 

It is unbelievable how time flies... It feels like summer lasted only a few minutes - again, and it is already Christmas...

I recently saw a new, cheerful version of the song "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" and I really loved it.  :)

With this song I want to wish all of you Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!  :)

Enjoy your time with your loved ones.  :)

Lots of love,

P&P style made... a Magazine Star Ornament

✯ Hello shiny stars! ✯

We hope everyone, who is reading this, had a beautiful holiday season.  :)

 A few days ago we made a star ornament, which is our next DIY-project shared with you.

You need for this a piece of paper, we used one from an old magazine.

Follow the steps on the picture to get the little trapezes. You need 8-12 pieces of them to make a full star. It depends on you, how many trapezes you want to use. 

You can put the pieces together by placing the two corners of each trapeze into the next trapeze's top "pockets" (see picture).

You can hang up the stars everywhere and not only in time of Christmas. We think, by using different colours, they are a good decoration for every season.  :)

xoxo,

P&P style

Christmas Gift Ideas under 10 Dollars and „Blogger Christmas 2013”

✯ Hello shiny stars! ✯

Time goes by so fast. It’s unbelievable that next week is already December and the first Sunday of Advent. That means, there are just 31 days left until Christmas and it’s time for Christmas shopping! I know, many of you have already finished their gift shopping, but we haven’t started it yet and will leave it to the last minute… as always.  :)  What’s up with you?

We thought, we help you a little, so we made a collage about some gift ideas for Christmas. All items are under 10 Dollars and you can find all the links under the picture. We hope, you like it. Anyway, I really enjoyed putting this gift guide together and we would be happy to receive anything off here but our favourite have to be the Gold and Silver Acrylic Chain Bracelets, we love them.  :)

If you want to order something online please take attention, that the shipping takes time, especially at Christmas (by international shipping 3-4 weeks).

Well, our title was >Christmas Gift Ideas under 10 Dollars and „Blogger Christmas 2013”<.

What the first part means, you know already. But what about the second part?

Maybe we are old-fashioned, but we really like to receive letters and postcards. Guess, what is much better. Of course, to get a packet with a present – exactly for you.

We had the idea to have a „Blogger Christmas 2013” together. It is meant to be a collaboration with you. We hope, some of you will be interested and take part in it. First we want to invite European Bloggers, but everyone can register. If we have the opportunity, we mean, there are for example 2 or more Bloggers from the US, we choose you a partner from there, so you can take part too, but there is no guarantee. By bloggers from Europe there is no problem.

How it works? 

* Fill in the Google form.

* Read the email, which you get from us on 2nd December.

* Take a look at the informations, find out what she/he likes. Get ready for the next step. 

* Buy or make (or both) a gift for her/him. It should be within the 10 Dollars budget. If you have something, that cost more, you can send it of course, but you must except, that your gift will be probable under 10 Dollars.

* Post it before 9th December to beat the Christmas rush.

* In return you will receive a gift chosen especially for you from another Blogger.

If you would like to join in, just fill in this Google form before 1st December and you will receive your partner the next day (2nd December) giving you a week to get shopping.

Once you have registred it would be awesome if you would retweet this.

We will using the hashtag #pandpstylebloggerchristmas to keep up the conversation.

„Blogger Christmas 2013” is open for registration. :)

 

NOTE: It depends not on us, what you will receive and we are not responsible for damage by the postal service.
