Holiday Party Style

With the holidays comes lots of parties! December may possibly be the most elegant month of the year. There's nothing I love more then getting all glammed up for a fun night out. I tend to gravitate towards texture, metallics, deep jewel tones, embellishments, and of course, plenty of sparkle! This is the best time to go all out and wear something completely fabulous. No need to be shy or play it safe. Let your inner glam girl shine through :)

 I'm already thinking about my New Years Eve look, and I know one thing for certain: My gold sequin Zara skirt will be the key piece! I was playing around on Polyvore and this little outfit seems like a great option. If only I owned the CL's!

Warm & Cozy

It's interesting how our tastes change as we get older. For instance, I've never been much of a cold weather girl, until recently. I dream in colorful sunsets and tropical breezes. My godfather lives in Maui, and I've been in love with Hawaii ever since I can remember. I went there after graduating high school, my fiance and I took our first major vacation together there a few years ago, and we are going back next year on our honeymoon. Clearly, I love the beach. But while warm weather may be good for the soul (and your health), I think dressing for colder climates is much more appealing. It's something about layers and feeling all bundled up. I've been coming home from work and lighting my candles, and there's just this happy feeling that I get. To emmulate that same feeling when I'm not at home, I'm going to wear my boots and trench coat every chance I get!

Trench - LOFT (sold out online, but check stores) (This one is so pretty)

Leggings - Hue

Boots - BP Nordstrom, similar here and here. Love this dream option by Tory Burch!

Bag - J. Crew

Earrings (unseen) - Anthro (similar)

I am inputing the entries I received on my Regina Pierallini giveaway into Random.org, then emailing the two winners tonight, so check your inbox :)

Pinspiration {Outfit of the Day}

I'm sure like me, many of you are addicted. In between browsing for wedding ideas, fashion and beauty pictures are my favorite categories to drool over on Pinterest. This shot in particular caught my eye one day, and I've been dying to recreate the look ever since.

I can't quite tell if the girl is wearing a top or a dress, but I like the idea of a striped long-sleeved tee, a blazer, and pretty jewelry paired with jeans and boots. So that's exactly what I did:

Tee - LOFT, Blazer - Gibson, Jeans - LOFT, Boots - BCBGeneration (old, but similar here), Necklace - Baublebar (waitlisted, so still a chance to get this one! But, this beauty is just as amazing)

Nails - OPI Dating a Royal, Ring - YSL

I apologize for the slightly blurry, grainy pictures but it was extremely overcast outside when they were taken. I'm in love with my new sparkling LOFT tee, as well as my Baublebar pearls. I have a feeling both are going to appear in many upcoming posts, so stand by :)
