Tis the season to sparkle

After a fantastic and long-overdue shopping trip this weekend, where I also applied for a part-time holiday job at Banana Republic (cross your fingers for me!), I saw some terrific retail items that I am sure to tell Santa about. One trend that I noticed that I wanted to point out to you was the plethora of sequins and sparkles!

Now, don't think I've been hiding under a rock or something. I know sequins and studs are hot right now, but I guess I didn't notice before how they are absolutely everywhere! I had noticed them before here and there, on a rack in one store and on display in another, but yesterday I literally saw 6 or 7 sequin pieces in each store I went into! I felt like a fish attracted to all the glittery and sparkly things. Even the displays in the store followed this glitter scheme, from glittery trees to dangling crystals, everything in the mall was giving off a wintery wonderland kind of feeling. Let's just say I'm not a huge fan of snow, but these designs got me ecstatic for winter.

Here are a variety for you to peruse:

	Kate Spade NY El Morocco Lauralle Sequined long shoulder bag, $375
	Badgley Mischita 3 tier crystal drop chandelier earrings, $175
	Forever 21 black sequin dress, $22
	J.Crew Sequin Scarf Cardigan, $138
	ABS by Allen Schwarts Ombre Sequined Tunic, $360.00

All of these pieces can be found at Forever21, J.Crew, or Bloomingdales!

Enjoy your holiday shopping!
