Stern Mona trashed decorations (9)

I believe the answer is:

ornaments

'decorations' is the definition.
(I know this)

'stern mona trashed' is the wordplay.
'trashed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'stern'+'mona'='sternmona'
'sternmona' anagrammed gives 'ORNAMENTS'.

(Other definitions for ornaments that I've seen before include "Tree embellishments" , "Adornments, decorations" , "Decorations, embellishments" , "Tree baubles" , "Decorates" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
