Holiday Sparkle...

This time of year just shouts out sparkle! Christmas lights, holiday ornaments and..somehow..jewels and glitter everywhere.

So here are a few ideas of how to add a little sparkle to your december!

   

add a little glitter to your manicure

(note: If you're doing a whole nail, I would opt for

the ring finger, rather than the middle finger)

celebrate with sparklers on your cake/dessert

put a smile on someone's face, make it extra

special and use glitter ribbon

get experimental or a little daring with your make up

and try a line of glitter eyeliner over your regular black liner.

just one skinny line, a little goes a long way...

Get the kids involved and create DIY, home-made

christmas ornaments, or seasonal decor with glitter and glue!

...or pair a sequins top with a neutral, plain maxi skirt, or your favorite

pair of pants for a holiday party/outing

How do you get your sparkle on?

Quote of the day

Thought: Summer's Here! Which means:

Vanilla Ice Cream (doesn't need an excuse) - and fresh fruits!

Walking around in the good sunny weather, with iced tea/fresh juice

(+ pastel/bright colored clothes w/ neutrals)

Fresh Lemonade

'Very Nice' weather (+ beach [i.e. the woody and blue nature of the picture])

Colorful and fun sunglasses to wear out

(these are DVF's cateye glasses)

 Summer means pastel colored nail polish [ :) ]

Lilac

Neutral/Pastel Shades of Pink

Turquoise (very in this season - the one in Essie's Braziliant Collection is the perfect hue)

Ice Cream again! ;)

I go weak in the knees for the beach and anything beach related, like this sign (and colors)

Beach inspired interior: Like I said, anything beach related, although this 

does not top my list, it def is pleasing to the eye, and very summer like

By now you probably realize, I love DVF, but the Harper bag does top my list!

(+ summer = bright colored accessories) 

What are your summer favorites?

Until tomorrow....

À Bietnôt!
