A Real Shiner

Sparkle: my absolute favorite trend for the upcoming holiday seasons.  It appears to be timeless (at this time of year), with new takes on the trend coming out daily.  Mine above is a Free People embellished tunic, but some of my favorites from this year include both skirts, dresses, and (of course) jewelry.  My personal discretion is to never wear more than one sparkly piece at once, unless you want to look like the Eiffel Tower at night.

My favorite pieces this year include (but are not limited to until the season closes)... 

This Vince skirt. Perfect paired with a blouse, or even with a Nation sweatshirt for a more casual option.

These DVF and Vince tops are wonderful with jeans and a great pair of heels or boots, which go day to night.

These Dannijo and Kenneth Jay Lane rings (as well as this Elizabeth Cole bracelet) are great statement pieces if you aren't so comfortable with sparkly clothes but want to glam up your outfit.

I love the idea of a sequin sweatshirt. Comfortable yet still glamorous. Masters of the fashion world Elizabeth and James killed it with this piece.  Too expensive? Try this one at J. Crew or Splendid

A sequined sweater guaranteed to keep you cozy and chic, made by my favorite French designers, IRO

A final all-over sparkly option, Haute Hippie makes quite the dress and it comes in a new, warm shade of brown.
