To those of you who follow me on Instagram, I apologize for overloading your feed with sparkly snippets all month long. But another year of 25 Days of Sparkle has come to a close, and I’m happy to say I completed the challenge :)
Click here to see last year’s roundup! Hope you all had a very merry day + sequin season!
I’ve been too into the red + green this holiday season [evidence here and here], so I thought I’d mix it up for today’s Holiday Best Friday’s Fancies. I just love this raspberry, navy, and white number from Anthropologie where the festiveness shows through in the darling little reindeer printed on it. Considering snagging it when it hits sale for next year’s holiday soirees…!
Conifer Herd Dress, Anthropologie, $148
Rise Above Idiom Bangle, Kate Spade, $32

Pretty trees from around the city getting me into the spirit of the holidays…

In my mind, the holiday season is synonymous with sequins, glitter, and sparkle (see my 25 Days of Sparkle Challenge here!). From the early days of December through New Year’s Eve, ’tis the season to rock them. While it seems everyone around me is complaining about how many Christmas parties and soirees they have to attend, I am wishing for more! Because I can advocate for daytime sequins all I want, but sometimes you just need a certain occasion to pull out a look like this…

This holiday season, I am loving the idea of pairing casual, comfy plaids, like this soft boyfriend-fit from Jack Wills, with more formal skirts, as in this dark velvet number by Pins and Needles. Don’t get me wrong, I wear sparkly holiday dresses as much as I can in December, but I do think this would be a fun Christmas-party alternative!
Stapleton Shirt, Jack Wills, $79.50
Velvet Mini Circle Skirt, Pins and Needles via Urban Outfitters, $39

Also, at this point “plaid” is starting to look like one of those words that I just don’t think is spelled right…

One of the perks of being a blogger is that, in the midst of sharing all of these gift guides for helping giving to everyone on your list, you also get to publicly share your own holiday wish list… am I right??
