#OOTD / sequin dress

Happy Friday!  Now that it's December and it's cooled down quite a bit today, I am in full-on Christmas mode.  We're heading to Broadway at the Beach this weekend for the Christmas Parade and then the tree lighting/fireworks in the evening.  I'm going to wear a sequin top that I've had for many, many years that I occasionally pull out.  I'll be pairing it with jeans since we'll be walking around all day/sitting.  No fancy parties for me this year.  But I am obsessing over this Free People Bali Surry Sequin Dress (now 50% off!).  It comes in 4 colours and has pockets!  I'd pair this dress with either over-the-knee boots (love these Dolce Vita Neely Over the Knee Boots, above, since I usually prefer flats) or black booties (these Thelma Suede Ankle Boots have block heels, which are a must for a long night).  A simple black clutch/bag will do, but it's the holidays so why not go rose gold on rose gold with this Rebecca Minkoff Metallic Leo Clutch?

Happy shopping!

#OOTD / ruffle sleeve sweater

Happy Friday!  The holidays are coming up (starting with Thanksgiving here in the States next week) and last week I posted a full-on velvet outfit (see post here) because I'm obsessed with velvet at the moment and I'm not sure anything screams holidays more than velvet (okay, maybe sequins), but if you're looking for a more low-key look, jeans are always a 'do' for the holidays IMO.  My tip is to keep them clean for the holidays (i.e., no rips).  These 7 For All Mankind The High Waist Skinny Jeans have a high waist and stretch, which is a must for the holidays because food.  This Endless Rose Ruffle Sleeve Sweater is the perfect topper because it's cozy, but the ruffle sleeves add a special touch.  With a simple outfit I like to add a pop of colour (my preference being pink, always).  This J.Crew Plaid Scarf is so pretty and will also keep you warm.  I just purchased these Jeffrey Campbell Vionnet Flats and they are SO soft and perfect for holiday shopping.

Happy shopping!
