Bracelet, Bfrend

I wore this lacey number and my favorite sequinned gold clutch out last week to the Boston Bloggers Holiday Fiesta, hosted by the lovely av of {long distance loving} and Katy of Modly Chic! I had so much fun catching up with some of my blogger gal pals from Rendez-Vous New England this past fall, meeting many new faces and friends, and just celebrating the holidays! And I sure don’t hate an excuse to dress up.

In other news, five days until Christmas…!

Sparkle + Shine

by 16 Comments

Well it has been quite sparkly week here huh? Even more fitting then that today’s Friday’s Fancies on {long distance loving} is themed Sparkle & Shine! My wishlist is overflowing with sequin-encrusted pieces right now, but here’s an outfit featuring just a few of my favorites. I love the idea of this Anthropolgie sequin bolero, mostly because I have inherited a rather sparkly bolero myself from my own mom. Maybe I’ll bust it out in an OOTD if you’re lucky and I’m feeling brave 🙂

Starshine Bolero, Anthropologie, $138
Pure Iridescent Pleated Skirt, Ruche, $36 
Glitterati Ballet Flats, J Crew, $128 
Sequin Frame Clutch, Santi, $98 
Curling Ribbon Ring, Kate Spade, $78 
Graceful Pearl Necklace, J Crew, $98 
Pave Stud Earrings, Kate Spade, $48 

post script. If you want to see more of my sparkly finds, follow me on Instagram (emilyshell)– I’m in the middle of my 25 Days of Sparkle challenge and it’s all documented there!

I had been wondering if Anthropologie was going to give into the sequin styles this season! But in true Anthro fashion, they have made the trend their own. Here are some sparkly pieces on my lust list:

Alpheratz Sweater, $178

Twinkle Lights Pencil Skirt, $218

Wink & Rimple Dress, $228

Elena Clutch, $98
