Happy Holidays, everyone! I honestly cannot believe how quickly the holiday season has come around. Gift giving can be a little daunting, especially if you don't know what to get, so if you have a fashionista in your life - I'm sure that they'll adore the presents in my holiday gift guide!

Who doesn't like a little sparkle? This Wanda Crystal Bib Necklace and Astoria Crystal Studs from The Shopping Bag give a shot of sparkle, without a shot at your bank. If you're looking for gifts under a certain dollar amount but with the quality and look of a luxurious item - then you're bound to end up at The Shopping Bag. These two jewelry items are both under $40!

For the fashionista who's got a lot to carry on - may I present to you clutches! This Diamond Dust Clutch by Diane Von Furstenberg definitely caught my eye. It's a bit of a splurge, but should take the cake as the best present yet. Also taking the number on spot? This Mini Love clutch by Rebecca Minkoff. You can get it on Revolve Clothing for under $200!

YAS! Shoes! (Sorry, couldn't help the yas there.) A nice a cute pair of shoes is always a good gift (especially for me! Ha!). This pair of Chiara Ferragni I Feel... flats is insanely cute. I love that you can readjust your mood everyday with the replaceable emoticon faces. My mood would definitley mimic the heart eyes emoji with these flats on me! 

Bootie time! No, not booty time. I have been seeing this type of booties everywhere, and think that this pair by Dav is the ultimate shoe gift. I love that every aspect of the shoe is so shiny, and the minimalist link chain on the front is the chicest addition!

Funny to chic is what these clothing gift options represent. Since the weather is increasingly getting colder, getting someone a yummy sweatshirt or coat is a sure fire essential. Wildfox has the most perfect quirky sweatshirts like this Cooking Rule hoodie. If at first you don't succeed...order a pizza. Life motto.

After purchasing the most soft and dreamy cover by Tahari, I know that this wrap coat probably feels as chic as it looks. It's simplicity and extra great quality make this item a winner.

Home is where the heart is...and the gifts! Coffee table books are a great small gift to add with something else. What's more inspirational to someone who loves fashion than Journey Of A Dress by DVF or Designers On Instagram by Ralph Lauren

Mugs! I'm a little partial to this because I know this You Go Glen Coco Red Spoon mug will be a great LOL gift from A Cup Of Quotes. There are so many more holiday mugs up on www.ACupOfQuotes.com - and just plain old cute and funny mugs too! 

Candles are always a good idea. Especially if they come from Jo Malone. Her scents are divine and never fail to impress. Plus, the exquisite and simplistic packaging makes this the perfect piece to have anywhere in your home. Trust me, it's a quality candle, the $65 is worth it!

Everybody has a techie in their life! OMG - this iPhone case is crazy. It's called the Lumee...and it does just that. It illuminates the front side of your iPhone so your selfies are on. point. Just click the button on the back and your face is instantly glowing with prime photography lighting. Who's the selfie queen, now?

Luxury headphones are a great accessory piece - and gift. This copper pair by Frends are chic and totally cute. Even if you don't have them on your head, they make you look totally stylish and hipster with them around your neck!

Just one of the most important part of blogging is the pictures. They're the ones that capture the outfit, the accessories, the scenery, and the story. Your words supply the sensory detailing and the pictures allow your readers to completely connect with what you wearing and doing. Since photos hold so much importance, so is your ability to utilize your camera at its maximum potential. 

I've never had the patience to read the manuals thoroughly of anything, so when it comes to cameras, I just wanted to get the image I conjured up in my head, into a physical sense. I was delighted when Katie from Key To Pictures reached out to me about her online workshops aimed at making photography skills something that you can easily master. From settings, lighting, gear, and editing, Katie supplies you with all of the techniques that will make you're once measly amateur photos look extremely professional. 

It's so easy to use, and trust me, you'll learn so much about taking photos and how to make those captured memories perfected forever. 

Now - normally the Academy is $24 per month, but Katie was generous enough to give my readers a discount of $19 per month using the code StepInsideMyCloset. Not just bloggers can have so much use for this academy. If you just want to capture special moments with your family and friends, or even your cute pet - utilizing your camera to its fullest potential is something that you will value for your whole life. 

So get to snappin'! Go to keytopictures.com to make sure your photos shine! The discount code is only available for 2 weeks (until 11/16/15), so now is the time to absorb and access that professional photographer inside of you!

Fancy Friday

1 comment

Happy Friday, everyone! I decided to channel my inner edgy Iggy Azalea and make this a fancy Friday. Although I was trying to channel Iggy, this outfit almost looks Avril Lavigne-esque once I added the sparkling tiara on my head - but if you're going to be fancy you might as well go all out, right?

My fancy shirt comes from Abercrombie & Fitch, and honestly I'm still in complete excitement that they introduced their new black and white line instead of going along and having only navy as the darkest color for their clothing. I'm incredibly curious for all the wonderful new clothes to come out in some non-Abercrombie like colors. 

Speaking of Abercrombie, I'm sporting my trusty jean jeggings from Abercrombie & Fitch itself. Practically all my jeans are from Abercrombie and I don't regret any of them one bit. They're comfortable, an essential, fitting, and make your booty pop. Yep, I know we all want those pair of jeans that you can sashay away in uber confidence. 

Traveling down to my favorite part of the outfit is of course - the shoes! These fierce cheetah printed flats come from the one and only Steve Madden. This flats are super comfortable and I was falling head over toes for the pointed toe of the shoe. I felt like the fashionable city girl walking around in these, all I need was to be dropped into New York or London and I think I would fit it pretty well. 

Time for the jewels! I didn't want to give too much sparkle to this outfit since I was trying to go all rough and tough, and I think my attitude came across well with this spike necklace I got from The Shopping Bag. This statement necklace screams don't mess with me. Rawr!

Even though I said I didn't want to add too much sparkle, every outfit needs some - so here comes the bracelets. My lovely watch is from Michael Kors which I wear everyday with every outfit. I believe everyone should have a watch at some point in their life because it's a piece of jewelry that is useful, extraordinarily pretty, and is timeless. Ha! ... My rhinestone and beaded drawstring bracelet comes from The Shopping Bag. I've had this bracelet for awhile and it seems to always have a place on my wrist with every outfit I'm wearing. I decided to keep up the stack of bracelets with my Ralph Lauren silver beaded bracelet that's simple and shiny. My last bracelet comes from Abercrombie and carries on the tradition of their signature navy color. 

To add a little bit of shine to the center of my outfit I slipped on my black Prada belt that I can and will never live without. It's a perfect belt to give that t-shirt and jeans look a drop of designer. 

I felt a bit adventurous with my nail color, and decided it would be nice to have a pop of color to this dark daring outfit, so I put a couple coats of Mini Kitten Heels by Ruby Wing on my nails. First off, I love the name of this nail polish, and of course I love the color. The bottle says that the hot pink you see in the bottle is what your nails will be indoors, and outdoors they'll be red. How cool! 

I hope your weekend goes flawlessly and you decided to be a little fierce and fancy along with me today.

Spring is popping up colorfully and sparkling just like my new Wildfox Couture chandelier light blue tee. Light and flowy, the tee was perfect for a day that gave a glimpse into the warm weather ahead. Chandeliers are my favorite kind of room decor. Representing crystals, delicacy, and girliness, it's a cute graphic put on top of the pretty light blue color. 

Not only does Abercrombie represent in the denim area, but my favorite jewelry too. This green, blue and white rhinestone necklace picked up the sparkle that a chandelier comes with. I love the way that instead of a chain, the necklace is tied with a pretty grey bow.

My other favorite I have is stacking up bracelets. Ralph Lauren supplied my silver ball bracelet and Style Yourself In Chloe + Isabel created this lovely light blue and gold bracelet. Love!

When I think of Skechers I see the light up tennis shoes that the cool little kids on the block used to wear - but surprisingly they make some pretty cute tan wedges. They're obviously incredibly comfortable to walk in and show a little decoration with two tan tassels on the top. 

I hope spring is bringing you some happy surprises. What spring pieces are you excited to yank out from the back of the closet soon?  



Necklace: Abercrombie & Fitch
