Wrapped in Red

 
The title is an ode to Kelly Clarkson's latest album;) Absolutely loving it.
I'm feeling under the weather, but still holding on to what's left of the holidays;) Christmas came and gone too quickly.
Have a lovely Sunday!

NYE: Sparkle & Shine

Yep, sequins are still on my mind. Spied this gorgeous piece, the Selma Dress ($297 $178.20) at Alice+Olivia. In love with the sheer back panel! I really need to stop browsing through the post holiday sales.

"Flower Girls"

One of my favorite FGR editorials is this beautiful set by photographer, Irina Bordo. Lovely hair adorned with fresh flowers (tulips, roses & orchids!), yet it still maintains a winter mood. Kinda makes me want to make a flower crown;)

Happy Holidays!

Casual Holiday

Most holiday parties I attended/will be attending are on the casual side. I've been searching for a bit of inspiration to find a festive outfit without being overdressed for upcoming get togethers.

These Gold Finger Sequin Pants by Stylestalker is the perfect pair. It's versatile and satisfies my sparkle/glitter cravings that usually hits this time of year (haha!). Loving the shorts version here, as well.

Some of my sequined pieces haven't seen the light of day since last year, so I'll be sure to bring them out this evening & NYE, of course;)

Unleashed

Video via Bergdorf Goodman 5th/58th Blog

The dog lover in me smiled from ear to ear when I first saw this holiday video by Bergdorf Goodman. Appropriately titled, "Unleashed," they literally allowed a pack of dogs to roam free in the store! Additionally, the project was in conjunction with the Human Society of New York.

Watch out for the 'lil guy below...he's quite the star of the show!

Hope you all enjoyed the weekend!

Quirky Travels

Flight001 is a favorite stop for fun gear to spruce up your travels. Plus, a site I'll be stalking for gifts for my jetsetting friends/family. Caught up with a friend this weekend and we're both itching to travel, but work commitments prevail...for now.

These tags & passport covers will be a fun stocking stuffer for my family (We love to travel! Thanks to my dad for passing on the bug). I'm especially loving the "Without this I'm nothing" passport cover LOL! How true...

Alternative Trees

Hi everyone! If you celebrated Thanksgiving, did you have a good one? I had a wonderful (way too short) time with my family & over ate, as usual haha! Black Friday shopping started at midnight this year and yes, it was INSANE. We were dead tired by 9 AM, but so worth it! Lol More on that later.

Switching back to work mode is always difficult following a holiday and even more challenging when you're ill. Really tried to fight it during work since I'm avoiding taking sick days. I was planning to share pictures of my weekend on this post, but I just don't have the energy to edit the pics.

Instead, how fabulous are these DIYs from CB2's inspiring blog?? Have you guys started your holiday decorating?:)
