Happy New Year

Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful 2013, and you have a wonderful New Year's Eve.  I'm out of town again for the holiday, but will begin posting again on Thursday; see you in 2014 :)

Leather Cap

Back in the fall I purchased this leather cap, and I love it!  It's been a go-to staple for me, especially on bad hair days {or when I just don't feel like doing it!}  I plan on wearing it to go me through the dull winter season.  I hope you're getting over the post-Christmas blues by spending time with family and friends, and with some awesome sales that are happening right now! I will be in NYC for a long weekend so no new post until Monday.  Enjoy the last of the holiday season!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! Have a wonderful holiday with family and friends :) 

"A Conspiracy of Love"

Merry Christmas Eve!  Today is arguably my favorite day of the year, and in honor of that I wanted to share my favorite Christmas quote and Christmas photos:

"Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love."

Holiday Look: Christmas Eve

Happy Almost-Christmas Eve!  I actually like Christmas Eve even better than Christmas Day; I love all of the excitement and anticipation of Christmas morning, and I usually wear a more glamorous outfit on Christmas Eve.  Instead of the typical little black dress or sequin number, I am opting for a silver-tone, almost white dress with navy and rhinestone accents.  I bought the dress on sale at H&M this summer, and the earrings are from Jewelmint x Richard Chai's collaboration {buy here} that I just could not resist - they are so striking and just what I wanted for the holidays.  The ring I am borrowing from my Mom for the night; it's vintage with diamonds and sapphires and I ADORE it! To tie it all together, I am wearing one of my favorite nail polish shades for the holidays - OPI's "Manicurist of Seville."  What do you plan on wearing for Christmas Eve and/or Christmas?

Fashion + Philanthropy Friday

Happy Friday again! I discovered Seven Hopes United after reading a recent post by Polish and Flair {here}, and I was so impressed by all of the products to choose from - especially since they are all fair trade!  I love {this} necklace, and think it's wonderful that the artisans from Ecuador that make the jewelry have emerged from poverty and make a livable wage.  How cute would this be for the holidays!? 

Holiday Picks

Less than a week until Christmas!  This means less than a week left of fun, holiday-themed posts.  Below are a few products that make me excited for the holiday season, and I would love for Santa to bring this year! How great are those boots!?

Polka Dots + Sparkle

I've come to adore statement necklaces, in all styles and colors.  I recently paired my new favorite one with this bright polka dot sweater to add some sparkle to an otherwise preppy outfit.  I plan on wearing this necklace throughout the holiday season and beyond - what is your favorite statement piece?

Rose Gold Holiday

I took advantage of Cyber Monday this year, and I snagged these fab rose gold heels that are so perfect for the holidays! ShoeMint is constantly offering great deals {sign up here}, so I'm keeping my eye out for more holiday-appropriate heels that I can buy :)
