Sparkly Shoes

Today is my Friday, so I’m in a great mood! I’m headed to NYC after work today and am so excited for all of the possibilities at hand!

Given my jovial affection, the National Christmas Tree Lighting tonight and my general love for holiday attire, I’m in the mood for something sparkly. Cue the footwear!

I’ve rounded up the best sequined, glittery shoes around to bring a whole new definition to the word “twinkle toes.” This fab footwear collection spans everything from heels to flats to oxfords, as well as prices ranging from splurge to steal. The Unisa option from DSW is dead ringer for a pair of Kate Spade’s that I deliberated purchasing for my wedding for the better part of a year.

What’s your favorite pair?

Quick Tip: Don’t be too hard on shoes with glitter or sequins as the embellishment can come off pretty easily. Keep the box the shoes come in and store them in the box in your closet to help them last longer.

It’s been awhile since my last post, but I’ve been sick as a dog the past few days. I’m finally back to my old self and have lots of exciting things to post, so stay tuned!

As I’m starting to prep for upcoming assorted festive occasions, visions of sugarplums, stilettos and sparkly outfits are dancing in my head.

In my opinion, any night out between December 1st through January 1st warrants some kind of glitter, sequin or other metallic accent. The sparklier (not sure that is a word), the better. I typically opt for dresses and tights even in frigid temperatures, but I’ve always secretly pined away for a sequined skirt.

Since most sequined skirts fall in the mini-variety, I can never seem to find one that fits just right, or looks quite how I want it to. But, this season, sequins are everywhere, so I think I’ll be able to find tons of options. A holiday outfit is a perfectly justifiable reason to shop during the season of giving…right?

Can we just give Lands’ End a little round of applause here? Way to jump headfirst into the trend pool! This little gold number is a fantastic option that can be dressed up or down, as shown.

Love it.

This skirt is to die for. I love the tribal design and unexpected color combo, which makes it wearable in the summer and spring, too.

Buying it.

I’ll be waiting for this to go on sale because let’s face it, we all know it will. I love the A-line, slightly flared cut of this skirt which will make it a super-flattering option for a girl with some curves (like myself).

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday full of good food, great family and super Black Friday shopping deals. I was fortunate enough to have a whole lot of all three!

After fighting the crowds on Black Friday, just about drowning in Cyber Monday emails and focusing my attention to gift-giving rather than purchasing, we’ll consider this round of like it, love it, buying it more of a wish list than an actual potential purchase.

I’ve been flat out lusting over cat-eye sunglasses as of late. I love any type of eyewear that makes a statement and this retro style doesn’t disappoint.

This Tory Burch version comes in several fun colors, including red, tortoise, tan and gray, pictured below. These are a more rounded cat-eye shape, so they are a perfect option for anyone who likes the look but isn’t ready for a more exaggerated look.

ToryBurchCat's Eye Sunglasses — Tory Burch Cat’s Eye Sunglasses from Nordstrom | $149

Love it.

I am absolutely obsessed over these Dior Retro Sunglasses and Dior’s Cat’s Eye Sunglasses. I spotted them on Atlantic-Pacific a few months ago and haven’t stopped pining over them since. Absolute perfection.

Buying it.

At the price of two lattes, I think I might be able to spring for these sunnies. They don’t have quite the exaggerated shape of the other two options, but when compared to triple digit prices, I think I can make do!
