And who says you can't keep Christmas classy and chic? After all, it's an easy way to make a Christmas tree look expensive.
Well, one of our favourite style icons Victoria Beckham has done just that in her London flagship store and it's safe to say her minimalist Christmas decorations have us dreaming of a simple scheme this year.
