Just Add Sparkle

Channeling my inner Blair Waldorf and Serena Van Der Woodsen, I turned up the sparkle for my new Viktor & Rolf bow dress that had me smiling from the moment I laid eyes on it. Simple and sassy just like myself, the dress features a deeper neckline and a fitted the top.

The dress even included pockets, but they weren't used as long as I had my Kate Spade New York bag that featured a cushion cut stone in replica of a diamond, going along perfectly with my glitzy sparkly theme. The satin purse went along with my dress perfectly in my point of view, the lovely gold chain never leaving my shoulder the whole night. 

Shoes, shoes, shoes! Oooo, if you've read my post for awhile you would know that I am head over heels (ha!) for shoes. If you know me well enough you would know that I can't resist wearing especially heels. That's why I was tickled when I found a pair of these Nine West black bow heels. The pair touched my heart even more with the splash of glitter on the bottoms to keep up some dazzling sparkle. The bows on the back correlated impeccably along with my dress and I couldn't be more happier on how they matched. 

Bling time? Yes, please! The most important part of an outfit is your accessories - especially your jewelry. Appearing in my last little black dress post as well, Ciner earrings and necklace graced my outfit as the perfect touch. The antique jewelry never stops at sparkling and gave my outfit the extra oomph that it needed before it made its debut.

Another under looked accessory is your nails. To keeping them simple or going all out, there is so much that you can do with your nails. For an outfit like this I obviously went the sparkle route, painting all my fingers except one a sleek OPI black color. Trending right now with nails is changing the look of one nail to give it an different look. Trying out this trend I painted a nail a winter white, dusting it with silver sparkle. 

I end with a famous and my favorite fashion quote that I think sums up my outfit for the night quite well. "A girl must be two things: classy and fabulous," Coco Chanel.

November's Favorites

With the chill in the air, cheery music playing, and sparkly new products making their debut - it must mean that the holidays are just around the corner. As soon as I saw that one radio station completely dedicated to Christmas songs, my wish list for Christmas day began springing into my head. So, with that I decided to create my monthly favorites - from what I have and what I'm currently ooooing and awing over. 

1. Kate Spade 'Eat Cake For Breakfast' Journal: If you haven't seen my new Eat Cake For Breakfast bag, then you wouldn't know my current obsession with this phrase. I was delighted to receive this fun journal, with simple gold letters telling me to eat cake for breakfast. The inside front cover is filled with gold polka dots and then hundreds of lined sheets of paper waiting for me to unload my mind of it's thoughts. 

2. lights, camera, flashes Tarte Mascara: This mascara entered my life through one of my lovely Birchbox arrivals. The fun gold casing catches your eye, but the mascara makes your eyes look camera ready - lights, camera, flashes! 

3. J. Crew Metallic Glitter Belt: The perfect touch to an outfit in desperate need of some...shazam!

4. Butter London The 444 Nail Lacquer: I'm definitely the kind of girl who goes gaga over nails. Your nail polish is basically just another accessory to boost up your outfit. The color of this polish is gorgeous, it looks like the bubbly champagne glasses clinking together on New Years. That and a bit of sparkle, which is an added plus for anything.

5. 'Dress To Impress' Kate Spade Shirt: Is there anything that I need to say about this shirt other than OMG? I love these kinds of shirts that are so simple, but make your heart flutter at the first site of it. For any fashionista, this is basically our motto. Number one on my wish list for sure! 

6. Harrison Striped Phone Case from Kate Spade: I have an odd obsession of changing up my phone case a lot more often than I should. Seeing all the cute phone cases from Kate Spade like this one certainly doesn't help my obsession. It's just another reason to take out your phone - to admire your glitzy case!

7. The Shopping Bag's 'Ann Crystal Bib Necklace': Not only did the name of the necklace make me adore it, but the crystals and simplicity of the necklace snatched up my heart. This is the perfect necklace for your holiday parties, and the one necklace everyone will be talking about. Your whole outfit should revolve around this lovely piece. Plus, an added bonus is the necklace is only $30!

8. Brian Lichtenberg Feline Beanie: I've seen these beanies all over Tumblr and on popular celebrities, which makes my longing to get one in my hands even stronger. So quirky and cute, I love it. 

9. Prada Candy Perfume: This perfume is just like it's title, sweet like candy. I like to compare the scent to a hard candy, sweet on the outside, but once you break it open it evolves into a delicate and elegant smelling perfume. Lovely!

Eat Cake For Breakfast

Can you imagine a world where it would be socially acceptable to simply just eat cake for breakfast? Once I got my new Kate Spade bag telling me to do so, I thought why not? You only live once right?

That means to make everyday your fashion show, and I enjoy the thought of that. So today I focused on a fall prep fashion show revolving around my new black Franco Sarto heel shoes. These shoes make me feel a bit European if that makes any sense. They just remind me of something you'd see someone wearing in the streets of London or Paris. For a bit of color for this outfit I put on my eggplant knee socks. I love knee socks, and especially since it's the perfect time in fall to wear them. 

J. Crew dominated this outfit with my simple black skirt and warm navy sweater. A sweater like this is a closet staple. It can be jazzed up or played down, and always looks classic and cute. I ventured on the route to jazz up my sweater by putting a jean Abercrombie & Fitch button down underneath, having bits of it peaking out. Jean tops seem to be really in this year, which I was wary of at first, but Abercrombie does a good job at making me adore things.

My jewelry I kept minimal and silver, sporting a Michael Kors buckle ring which is absolutely fabulous in my eyes. It's so simple but chic. My earrings came from Anne Klein, yet another simple piece of jewelry. Silver hoops are a jewelry staple, you could basically put them on with most of everything.

Kate Spade says live colorfully, and I love how this Eat Cake For Breakfast bag has that bold stripe of red at the bottom causing eye catching glances at the beautiful tote. The inside is lined so pretty with a light gold color and white stripes. I was surprised at how deep the bag really is, fitting any necessities that you have to carry. I also adore how the sides of the bag have a pinched look, and how bold the wording. All throughout the day people would read it and laugh, 'cause who eats cake for breakfast? ...psh, definitely not me...

A lovely day spent well with my cute doggie, Meg. What a sweetheart!

Victoria's Secret Dreams

Yawn! A rainy day outside calls for a cozy nap inside, and luckily my shopping haul from Victoria's Secret came in handy. My bed is probably my favorite place in the entire world, isn't it everyone's bed their favorite place too, though? From reading, to flipping through the latest magazines, to catching some shut eye, it's the most relaxing and serene place I adore. So, I thought I'd give my favorite place a little make over. Victoria's Secret has just come out with new bedding, and I couldn't resist getting a whole chevron bedding set. I've always admired Victoria's Secret Pink's body pillows, and now being the owner of two, I can attest that they are the cutest things in the world...not the mention super comfy too! I love my new "Dream On" pillow, because who wouldn't want to dream in this cute bedding? To store away any extra pillows, including my lovely Harry Styles and One Direction pillows, I use my super cute Victoria's Secret PINK dorm trunk set, the perfect thing to pretty up underneath your bed!

 

Although the cute bedding supplies most of the comfort, pajamas are the next most important thing. My new Victoria's Secret seriously smooth satin chandelier printed pajamas, do the trick. These pajamas are the greatest thing, and feel amazing on your skin. I'm all about satin, since my latest obsession with satin pillow cases, satin pajamas have taken their place. After catching a few Z's I wake up to a shower. To wake my hair up I use Victoria's Secret Strong and Shiny shampoo. This shampoo smells good, and gets my hair looking shiny and picture perfect. Next, I take a coat of Victoria's Secret PINK pink nail polish, which is the perfect VS PINK pink that I have been looking for, for what seems like forever. Last I pop in addicting VS mints and I'm ready for the day! The best part about this haul is that with your purchase you get a VS Getaway bag! It's very spacious, and not to mention adorable!

Don't forget, everyone, only four days left for my From Ann With Love Giveaway! Two lucky followers will win a LOVE necklace in either silver or gold. Remember to follow the three mandatory steps so that your entry is valid.

Sweet dreams!
