Stylish Snow Bunny

This year I am finally going on a ski trip! And it’s going to be at Whistler!! I used to ski and snowboard all the time as a kid. But fast forward 10 years, I’m pretty sure I am going to be terrible now. I’m still on the fence about actually going skiing, so we will see how I feel once I am up there. Might just be fun to play around in the snow and see the sights!

But since it’s been so long since I've been in actual snow I no longer have any well fitting and stylish snow clothes. Thus requiring me to go SHOPPING! Here is the ideal outfit I came up with that assures I will be warm and dry on the slopes! And of course includes sequin Ugg boots...I can't go anywhere without a little sparkle!!!

Now feeling more confident… all I need is some rental gear.

Make it Glitter & Shine

The upcoming holidays always puts me in a festive mood! So naturally I think of any way to add sparkle to myself… and today I am obsessed with sparkle and glitter nails! There are so many ways to do it and so many options of colors and techniques I will never run out of ideas. Just browsing some of my favorite blogs I got a few ideas to start with.

From top left clockwise:

Mimi and Meg - Red Nails with Sparkle Gold

Cupcakes & Cashmere - Pink, Orange & Silver

Nail Nerd - Blue with Multi Sparkle

The Beauty Department - Gold Metallic & Sparkle

Cupcakes & Cashmere - Aqua Sparkle

With the next too weekend free before my "weekend marathon of getaways" (I have a trip planned every weekend from Thanksgiving to New Years…YIKES!) I can test some of these out and also start some of home and cooking projects I have been procrastination on.

Wear to go from here… the beauty store for some festive sparkle nail colors!

Over the Top?

I absolutely love Ugg boots, and I know they are slightly ridicules and some even consider ugly, but they are some of the most comfortable shoes EVER! And in the winter months are always so warm and cozy. Unless it’s a downpour they are even slightly weatherproof to the elements.

So when I came across these sparkly sequin Over the Knee Bailey Button Sparkles Boots it was love at first sight! Too over the top?? Too impractical?? Probably, but who cares they were boots that were made for me!

Wear to go from here… out in the cold, so I can wear my new boots!!

DVF Sparkle

Diane Von Furstenberg is one of those iconic designers that always have beautiful and timeless clothes. If I could fill my entire closet with DVF wrap dresses, capes and jersey tunics I totally would!

To add to my sparkle obsession I am DY-ING over this bright blue Judith Dress from the her Fall 2011 line!! But with a $1,600 price tag, it will probably never be mine… but a girl can dream! I would totally rock this with some silver strappy high heels and some fun statement earrings for a night out on the town!

Wear to go from here… to figure out how to get a black-tie event invite and money to get this dress! (Brainstorming starts now!)

Wearable Sparkle

With Holiday season staring up in October I am obsessed with finding a Sparkle sequin dress for my holiday parties and events! I found this Adrianna Papell Sequin Dress at Nordstrom and was instantly in love! I like the taupe color, subtle sparkle and sequin detail. Another item to add to my shopping wish list!


I'd like to go to this party. Who of my friends wants to wear the grey dress to the left??
