Sometimes I get so much into the Christmas spirit, I go running through the woods with a crown of candy canes on my head. Sometimes Grenouille captures it.






Makeup: Nymph over a beige eyeshadow, red lipstick & blush, brown pencil for freckles.


I made this. Sort of. Bought the wreath and glued candy canes to it.













That’s adorable! I kind of want to make a candy cane crown for myself now. MAYBE I WILL. And I’ve ALWAYS wanted freckles, my entire life. I used to draw them on, but I was little. Merry Christmas, Xenia!
I love the candy cane crown! What an awesome idea. I also love these photos.
This is perfect. You look so cute and beautiful and gave me christmas spirit! I really love your blog it’s so fun to read. Keep up the good work you’re on my bookmarks :)
WOW
I want a candycane crown!
You remind me of the “American Girl” doll named Kirsten when she is dressed for St. Lucia.

Ha, so awesome and creative!
OMG OMG OMG!! This is the best photo series yet!! They keep getting better and better. Amazing!! Winter forest queen!! AAAAHH freaking out and running around in circles!!
You look adorable with freckles!
What a beautiful pictures, I love them all, but esp. number 1 and 5, and the eye shadow is so beautiful too! Have a nice day!
I am utterly addicted to this blog. It makes my day every time! <3
These pictures have a wonderful color scheme!
I just was like, “Did I miss something? Does she really have freckles?”, so I’m relieved that you only drew them on with a pencil. But they do look great and cute on you! The whole shoot is full of glee and so is your crown. :)

Wow, amazing! You look like a character from a fairy tale. Your makeup looks like you’re all frost-bitten and chilled. You have an adorable wreath-crown, by the way– were the candy canes edible? ;D
The freckles are absolutely adorable! At first I was confused since I never saw any in other pictures of yours, but then I realized you must have drawn them in.
Oh, and sorry I’ve never commented on any of your posts before! I began reading this a few weeks ago, but I was too nervous. I love reading your blog, it’s inspired me to be more confidant and expressive with my femininity and creativity.
Like a Christmas Goddess !^-~
Oh thank you Doe, after a shitty day being yelled at by my manager this has made me smile! :D
The freckles are a really cute touch! :)
How come my real freckles don’t look as cute as your fake ones? lol :)
You look amazing!! Great job!!
Your wreath reminds me of the Yule wreath I made for my Yule altar last year: Yule Wreath. But mine has candles instead of candy canes.:)
Yours is so cute! And I second an earlier poster, the first thought that popped into my mind when I saw you with the wreath on, was of St. Lucia.
The freckles are adorable on you. Great job!! :D
Exquisite! Lovely makeup. It’s funny how drawn-on freckles can look so cute, yet I have real ones that I can’t stand,and spend so much time trying to cover up!
I’d make a candycane crown….only I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t survive that long around me :)
Merry Christmas to you!
Beautiful. What kind of lipstick is that?
wow; you look like the little red riding hood. Hmm… wonder who the wolf is? :P The candy cane crown is so adorable. Merry Christmas!
you are absolutely precious!
I dunno, you don’t look as much like yourself in some of these photos too
I LOVE THIS… you look like something out of a fairytale. You are really getting into this Christmas thing… that’s so sweet.
That is too freaking cute! You are gorgeous, and more importantly, you look nice and warm too! I love your braids!<3
OMG you look so innocent and free!! TOO CUTE!! You look like the young girl going to grandmas for Christmas walking through the woods :)
I love the freckles
i love this make up!
Love the freckles, I haven’t drawn some on in sucha long time, gotta do it.
So pretty! We’ve been having horrible weather in Chicago, I just made it to the south for Christmas with my family, and now it’s been raining. No running in the woods for me.
Ohmigosh these photos are stunning! You look like a snow queen. The freckles are an adorable touch!
Oh my – you are stunning! Love your style!
Oh I love this. You wrote some people take tree decorating too far and then your next post I see you with a candy cane wreath on your head. Priceless !
Hi Xenia!
Just today I found your blogazine, and I am in love with all of your makeup. This look was one of my favorites, and I was wondering if you could please tell me what kind of blush and lipstick you used, because both are quite fabulous.
Thank you so much,
Jenna
[...] *sigh*I guess this means I’m baking Lucia’s cats on my own this year. I already wore a Crown of Candy Canes last year as a tribute, this time around I’m hoping to be rocking a pointy white [...]
