I’m pretty sure Kate Spade should pay me at this point for the incessant promotion on my blog, or at least offer me some free swag, don’t you think? I can’t help that all her designs are so perfectly feminine with just the right touch of rebellion. Case in point: these gorgeous pumps. Vibrant yellow seems like it is going to be the shade of the spring, and paired with this playfully striped heel, you’ll be the life of the party. Or at least the target for jealous glances.

Little triangles seem to be all the rage in terms of accessories this Winter. Although I no longer visit brick and mortar stores, and am visiting proper online stores less and less frequently as of late, I can report that this is at least the case on Etsy. I have favorited many a triangular necklace, ring or, in this case, earrings. Not on Etsy (& coming with a major price tag), this mismatched pair of studs just makes me smile. I think it would make the perfect gift for a fashionista wife or sister, what say you?
Happy Black Friday! For all you of brave hearts heading out to confront the throngs in local malls, may the force be with you. I rather sit on my couch and do my shopping online. For those of you that agree, here’s a list of some of my favorite holiday gift finds:
Lately, when I think festive, I think Kate Spade. Her style just screams holiday, and not in the gaudy way. In fact, she knows how to execute classy yet fun flawlessly. These earrings are the perfect example. This is a great gift for a mother-in-law, sister or wife. I know I would be happy to see these under the tree!
1. Kleancolor’s chunky holo nail polish colors
Like Miss Melificent herself, I adore a fun manicure. When I came across the above manicure from The Swatchaholic the other day, I knew I had to look into these colors more. Turns out: there are a ton! Even better? On BeautyJoint.com they’re only $1.75 a piece. I haven’t placed an order myself yet, but at that price I feel like you kind of can’t go wrong. I also found swatches of all the chunky holo colors on Swatch and Learnso check that out if you want to see how a particular color looks.
