Glitter Gift Guide

It's almost the holiday season which means everyone is planning their friends and families fabulous gifts. This holiday season is no different when it comes to the trend of glitter and sparkle. Personally, I love anything and everything sparkly for the holidays! So many gift guides this year feature glitter goods ready to be gifted. Here are a few of my favorites for the glam girl in your life.

OOTD: Fur and Stripes



With new additions into my closet from Christmas I have been trying out my new pieces. One of them being my faux fur vest. I paired the vest with one of my favorite striped dresses from Forever 21. My color combination of the maroon, creme and black is a fun winter look.

Having a faux fur vest for the winter is actually really handy. If you are going to be outside layer it under your coat to keep you warm. I recently wore this downtown Chicago (look out for that post!) and it kept me super warm and cozy. 

 I love wearing maroon in the winter and fall. It's a color but at the same time it is super neutral. 

For accessories I included an unique chain and rhinestone necklace, my new watch, and a pair of ballet flats. 



{I have been styling my hair like this ever since Christmas. It may be my new signature hair look.}


Where it's from:
Dress: Forever 21 
Vest: American Eagle
Tights: Nordstrom 
Watch: Michael Kors 
Necklace: Charming Charlie 
Shoes: Juicy Couture

OOTD: Brown and Blush



With Christmas over I have many new things I am working into my style. For example my blush colored tights. The color is super unique but I think I will be able to wear them a lot. 

I paired the blush tights with a taupe brown dress. This dress is super flattering and I got it for a super good deal (as usual I'm a bargain hunter). To accessorize the look I wore my new favorite statement necklace. (Lets be honest I love all my necklaces but this one is extra fabulous.) The necklace has subtle pink tones which helps tie in the look with the blush tights. 

Of course my arm candy had to be represented with my new Michael Kors watch. 

I styled my hair in a top knot to keep it out of my face and to prevent the annoying static! But, it makes the look extra girly and chic. And of course a bold bright lip was a must for this look. 



Where it's from:
Dress: American Eagle 
Tights: Nordstrom 
Shoes: Target 
Bracelets: Alex and Ani & Charming Charlie's 
Watch: Michael Kors (bought at Nordstrom) 
Necklace: Dry Goods 
Earrings: Nordstrom 

{As I said I am in love with this necklace! It is super bold but the colors are subtle so it's not to over powering. And I find myself reaching for it often because it goes with so much of my wardrobe!}

{Making faces. The usual.}

{I am obsessed with Alex and Ani bangles. They are super dainty and girly. The M bangle on the bottom is from Charming Charlies and was on sale for only $4! So, if you think Alex and Ani is a little expensive there are cheaper alternatives.}

OOTD: Christmas Day



For my Christmas Day look I really wanted to wear one of my newest purchases... My blue Sam Eldeman heels. So, naturally I reached for one of my favorite little black dresses from H&M to help me out. 

I paired my simple black dress with a pair of bright blue fishnet tights. Ironically these happen to match my shoes very well. So, the pairing together made for a bold blue statement which I am kind of obsessed with. 
In general, I have been super into colored heels. I like dressing up a simple look with bold heels or colored tights. It's an easy way to add color into a winter look. 

Along with my classic look I paired a Christmas gift I got the night before. My new J Crew pearl statement piece is definitely a new favorite of mine! Like my other statement necklace this one literally goes with everything it seems like. I know it will be a great piece to have in my statement necklace collection. (Which is getting kind of out of hand. But, a girl can never have to many necklaces!) 

I also finished the look off with my new Michael Kors watch and Alex and Ani and Juicy Couture bangles! 


Where it's from: 
Dress: H&M 
Shoes: Nordstrom 
Tights: Nordstrom 
Watch: Michael Kors (from Nordstrom) 
Earrings: local boutique 
Necklace: J Crew 
Bracelets: Alex and Ani & Juicy Couture 



{I also have been super into bold lips/ lipsticks this holiday and winter season. Who can resist all of those amazing drugstore options out there. My favorites are for sure the Revlon balm stains and their classic lipsticks.}


{Some new additions to my arm party.}


{A few selfies with my girly and puffed hair. I felt very 60's inspired for some reason with my hair all done up. Is it just me or do you agree?}


{Posing and such.}

{My favorite Christmas meal ever and my personal purple sparkly tree.}

OOTD: Christmas Eve

{Trying to be a Kate Spade model.... did it work?}

Christmas Eve was full of fun and festive happenings. I wanted my Christmas Eve ensemble to be super festive and fun at the same time. My look I feel is very vintage/ Kate Spade inspired for some reason. 

For the occasion I rented a dress from Rent the Runway. Renting is super easy and simple when it comes to RTR and I would highly suggest it if you wanted to have a super nice dress for only a night. 
This dress is from the brand BCBG. I own some of there dresses so I know for sure the fit would be good. To no surprise the dress fit like a glove and was super flattering. It had tight fitting sleeves and a tight bodice and flared out from the waist. The fabric was a mix of see through lace with a skin colored under part so you didn't actually see any skin. 
The dress was super fun and I think worked great for the holidays. 

Pairing the dress with red tights, gold heels, and a gold skinny belt I think screamed Christmas! Like I said, I wanted my look to be super fun and full of Christmas spirit. Whenever I wear tights I think of one Gossip Girl episode which inspired me to buy the tights in the first place. So in a way I felt like Blair Waldorf in this look. 

I've always been a gold over silver person. Which is why I loved adding the gold accents to my holiday look. The heels are super festive and add an unexpected touch of glam to my look. Also, they stand out well against the red tights! 

To complete the look I wore bright bold red lips of course! And I styled my hair a little differently. But, ever since then I have styled my hair like it because I am kind of obsessed with the extra touch of volume it gives to my hair. 

Overall, I loved this Christmas look! 

{My statement gold heels. I love how there is a little bit of silver in the shoe if you wanted to do a mix metals look!}



{Details}


{A Christmas selfie? Yes I am that "Basic". However, I felt super vintage and glamorous so I think its acceptable right?}



Where it's from: 
Dress: Rent the Runway (BCBG)
Tights: Target 
Shoes: Nordstrom 
Earrings: Kate Spade 
Belt: Aerie 
Bracelets: Alex and Ani, BCBG, and J Crew 


My brother and I. I think he looks quite dapper in his little striped sweater and khakis. 





Hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas!

OOTD: Cozy Sparkle

OOTD: Cozy Sparkle 

I don't wear sweatpants.... like hardly ever. But recently I picked up this pair of sparkly sweats from Aerie. So, these sweatpants are basically just sparkly pants. 

This is how I dressed up my sweat pants into a look I think is presentable enough to go out in public in. I paired my sweatpants with a light wash denim shirt and a crystal statement necklace. The look I think is surprisingly chic yet lazy at the same time. 

Overall, I am just obsessed with these sweats! I think they will be perfect to lounge around in when I'm feeling lazy at school. And the fact they are sparkly make them 100x more fabulous then your average sweatpants.



Where it's from: 
Shirt: American Eagle {similar}
Pants: Aerie {exact}
Necklace: Forever 21 
Bracelets: Alex and Ani & Charming Charlie

Fun NYE Accessories!

NYE Accessories
It may be Christmas day but you have to start planning out your NYE ensemble! Lucky for you I picked out some of my favorite bling pieces that would be perfect to wear to count in the new year. 

Preppy 



1. I am in love with these tear drop earrings. They have a touch of gold accents which makes them stand out from your average pair of earrings. These would be a great small statement to make on the big night. 
2. This chunky oversized necklace would work great with a simple dress. 
3. A small crystal necklace is also a great option to enhance a sequin look. 

Girly




1. A gemmed bracelet is a fun way to play up a dress that may have embellishments at the neck. 
2. This bib necklace is super unique and would be fun with a circle skirt and maybe a crop top. 
3. A chandelier inspired necklace is perfect for a classic and girly girl. 
4. You can never go wrong with a fun statement crystal necklace.

Edgy Glam

1. Mix things up with a bright orange necklace this NYE. 
2. A fun chain and rhinestone bracelet will spice up a monochromatic dress. 
3. These earrings I feel like are glamours spikes. Trade in your studs and spikes for one night of glamour. These earrings will sure do the trick! 
4. This weaved beaded necklace is a cool and unique statement piece to pair with a simple dress. 

Have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
