Loafers are the new it item on every fashion blogger’s list, but pair them with glitter and my heart melts. I mean, possibly to the same extent Kristen Bell‘s did when she had a sloth come to her birthday party. I’m serious. And you want to really elicit a meltdown? I can no longer find them on the Dolce Vita site. NOOOOOOOoooooo!
I wish I could post as much as I want to, but right now I’m in the trenches of studying. I am at the critical less-than-2-weeks mark until my certification exam, which means I do little of anything except stare at words I hope will make more sense to me by January 31st.
Anywho, in an attempt to fill the void, here is a shot of our new console table (from West Elm found via Craigslist for a fraction of the cost) and it’s fun little new member, Ollie the Octopus (just made that up on the spot), who was rescued from a life in ZGallerie captivity. Isn’t he sweet? We hope to continue filling up the table with more fun, Sanchez-like decor pieces – along with the rest of the house! Baby steps for now 😉
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.
One thing I absolutely love about the holiday season is the ability to wear sparkles and sequins with reckless abandon. Granted, in my world, it would be year round, but in an attempt not to be greedy, I’ll take what I can get. Although I don’t tend to have events worthy of all those glorious sequined dresses, I can totally justify the purchase of this fabulous sequined scarf. I think it would compliment a casual Christmas lunch or dinner outfit perfectly!
As you all know, I am a big fan of CasaIdeas, the fun home goods store in South Miami. I was given an exciting guided tour of their fall collection back in October, and was given a couple of goodie bags. Although I kept one (who wouldn’t), I had an extra and figured I would give you all the opportunity to call it your own! This giveaway includes a versatile black and white tote bag, a colorful notebook, a set of girly nail files and a convenient pedicure set.
