Sparkles and Sequins!!

Hey!
One of the hottest trends for the holiday seasons are sparkles! Sequins and sparkles are the hottest rage to bring some shine to your outfit. Sparkles are in every clothing and accessory imaginable from bags to jumpsuits. I love anything that's crystalized or sparkles so I am loving this trend! Unfortunately, swarovki crystals can be a bit much to put on every outfit (never mind how expensive!)Be careful, sparkles and sequins can be overkill. Keep it classy!
These House of Damar Madde shorts are on sale for $99.99. I love how these shorts only have sequins on the front so they don't overwhelm your bottom half. Another fun thing is that these are knit shorts to keep you warm in these winter months. Wear these shorts with pumps, black tights, and a blazer to be picture perfect.

This Silence and Noise bomber jacket goes for $89. This jacket comes in silver and gold. I love how unique this jacket is with the shape and the three quarter length sleeve. These metallic colors are so on trend as well. This jacket is a twist on a typical blazer which is a fun way to mix up your outfits.

This Free people button down is on sale for $89.95 and comes in ivory (pictured) and black. I love button downs because they are so easy and classic. The sequins make it pop and kick some spice to your classic button down. Use the ivory shirt with skinnies and boots or the black with a maxi skirt and wedges. 

These Asos pants are on sale for $59.09. These pants are high waisted with a tapered leg. I am loving these pants! They are perfect to add some sparkle to your day outfit and are perfect to wear for a night out. Pair with black pumps and a simple tank and blazer for day and add a statement necklace for night.


This Free People cutout one piece goes for $315. This shows that sequins can be put on everything! This is a sneak peak for summer swimsuit season. And maybe a reminder to put down the holiday cookies!

This Michael by Michael Kors jumper is on sale for $279. I am such a fan of jumpsuits and the sequins make it so glam. I love the proportions of this with the harem pants but then they are tight at the bottom. Since it is all sequins it can be overwhelming so it add the belt or maybe a vest/ jacket to tame it.

This Deux Lux backpack is on sale for $49.99. It comes in black and rainbow. Backpacks are great for school and travel so this is perfect to be on the move and be accessorized chicly. I personally love the black because it looks so sophisticated and expensive.


This Michael by Michael Kors retails for $398. This is the perfect satchel or pocketbook. I love how this bag isn't one seasonal. I can wear this during the winter with my all black outfit or during the summer with a dress and wedges. It is the perfect size with 11"H x 14"W x 7 1/2"D. 

These Christian Louboutin's go for $1075. These are (one) of my dream pairs of shoes. These 6.5in heel are insane! Plus they sparkle, love. What more could a girl ask for? Well, besides a price reduction!
A more affordable option then the Louboutins are these Miss KG heels. They are on sale for $122.72. These peep toe have all the glitter without the price tag. Budget friendly and cute!

This Free people dress goes for $258 and comes in black and rose gold. I love how this dress mixes it up with the three quarter length sleeve but is still sexy with the shorter hemline. My favorite part of this is the cutout in the back. (We all know I go bananas for back cleavage!) This is the perfect dress to party in the new year with!


This Mark+James by Bradgley Mischka goes for $295. I LOVE this dress! The V-neck is totally sexy but the sash/bow is totally feminine. My favorite part is the skirt with the sequins that look like they are in some design. It is the perfect mix of elegance and fierceness.

This Parker dress is on sale for $216.60. I really love how flowy this dress is and then it has the elastic waist. The must unexpected part of the dress is the spaghetti straps and then you turn around to have a racer back. A simple party dress with a lot of impact!

Sequins are in and the perfect way to sparkle this holiday season! They are the perfect way to make an outfit festive or just to be even more glam. Remember, sequins and glitter can be tacky. You don't want to resemble a a glitter glue gun or a disco ball! Keep it classy and keep the rest of your outfit simple. Much love and happy holidays!
