How was everyone's holiday? I can not wait to show you all the amazing fashion gifts my families got me! They know me all to well (ahem - beige suede Litas - ahem). I must admit that at Christmas, I am a very spoiled girl.

I have said before how much I love matte sequin clothing items. Somehow I believe the matte palette make the clothing so much more versatile. Rather than saying, "Hey! Look at me sparkle!", matte sequins are slightly more under the radar, therefore making them something you can dress up or down. While shopping with my friend Daniella one day we came upon this skirt at H&M. We both became obsessed. Besides the matte sequins, I really like how the skirt isn't super mini, making it something I can wear as years go by. 

Also, while many stores tend to carry sequins items during the holidays, please do not think that December and early January are the only appropriate times to wear them. Sequins are definitely a year-round item :-)

Tis The Season To Be Busy...

I am trying to hard to post as often as I can, but with the holidays right around the corner I find myself leaving super early for work and not coming home until at least 8:30pm. And by then, all I want to do is watch TV until I fall asleep. 

I took this photos this weekend with my friend Andrew. I love how festive this outfit is, but mainly I wanted to point out these amazing Libby Edelman shoes my Godmother has given me as an early Christmas gift. I am obsessed with them! Unfortunately, I didn't think to have him take a picture specifically of the shoes  (next time, I promise). You can at least get a sense of the studded toe. Are they just amazing?

Thanks Rebecca!
