All That Glitters

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold and she's buying a stairway to heaven... -Led Zeppelin

Happy Holidays! There’s something about this time of year that makes me want to combine all of the girliest details into a single, over-the-top look, complete with a gold sequin jacket, cream colored dress, bright lips and peep-toe heels. Sequin statement pieces consistently work anytime you want to get dolled up for the holidays or a night out in the town.

With the end of the new year approaching, this is the perfect excuse to shell out all things that glitter, sparkle and shine and what a better way to refresh your wardrobe then with a dose of glam. Ole!

This past weekend, I went to Lake Tahoe for a much needed girls trip! Our agenda was jam packed with ice skating, hot tubbing, mimosas, white elephant gift exchange and more. Stay tuned for a fun blog post to come - I hope everyone has a fabulous week!

Ugly Sweater Party

You’re invited to a special bash And here’s your chance to make a splash: Be sure to wear a Christmas sweater, The uglier it is, the better!

So mug a grandma, trawl a thrift shop, An elegant choice would be a flop. The most obnoxious earns the praise; Celebrate the kitschy side of the holidays!

This past Saturday my BF, roommate and I went all out and turned our 1896 Mansion suite into a Christmas wonderland for our Ugly Sweater Party. With the holidays in full swing, what a better way than to spread Christmas cheer! Right?

Ahhh, and the tackiness of the holiday sweaters… oh, the sweaters {or vests}. This is the time of year when ugly is good, hideous is better and hideously ugly is truly remarkable! From reindeer and snowmen to Bill Cosby, we had an ugly sweater collection that would make Santa Claus proud.

Scroll down to see our shenanigans unfold… Ole!

I couldn’t have asked for a more spirited and entertaining evening filled with obnoxious Christmas music, dancing, laughing and voting on the ugliest sweater {definitely one of the highlights!}. With so many hysterical moments and memories, I can’t wait for next year as this will now become an annual tradition!
