Happy Friday friends! This little girl turns a year older today, and I’m hoping to celebrate with lots of glitter, gold, and pink champagne drinks– won’t you join me?

[ Ava Glitter Pumps, J.Crew, $180 ]
[ Cheers Letterpress Coasters, Society Social, $26 for 15 ]

And since it is my birthday and all, while you’re sipping that bellini, won’t you vote for my outfit? :)
Whether or not I have elaborate plans for New Year’s Eve, I always take great pleasure in picking out the perfect sparkly outfit to wear. Most years, I turn to H&M or Forever21, because as much as I adore sequins, I’ve never had the budget to spend too much on a dress I can only wear on a handful of glitter-required occasions. This little number from Lulu’s is a nice compromise– fit for a princess with a much prettier price tag! The classic Kate Spade Charm shoes on the other hand…. well we can all dream right?
Ballet It On Me Blush Sequin Dress, Lulu’s, $50
Charm Heels, Kate Spade, $325
Pearl Bow Ring, LC Lauren Conrad, $12 (sale!)
Horseshoe Purse, ASOS, $27
To those of you who follow me on Instagram, I apologize for overloading your feed with sparkly snippets all month long. But another year of 25 Days of Sparkle has come to a close, and I’m happy to say I completed the challenge :)
Click here to see last year’s roundup! Hope you all had a very merry day + sequin season!

In my mind, the holiday season is synonymous with sequins, glitter, and sparkle (see my 25 Days of Sparkle Challenge here!). From the early days of December through New Year’s Eve, ’tis the season to rock them. While it seems everyone around me is complaining about how many Christmas parties and soirees they have to attend, I am wishing for more! Because I can advocate for daytime sequins all I want, but sometimes you just need a certain occasion to pull out a look like this…
TFNC Sequin Sarah High Low Dress, House of Fraser, $50
Gold Sequins Leather Watch, DKNY, $135
Gold Metallic Hair Clip, Miss Selfridge, $3
All Wrapped Up Pave Stud Earrings, Kate Spade, $58
Hurricane Heeled Sandals, ASOS, $80
Anyone have any holiday parties to attend this weekend? Will you be donning sequins and glitz? Tweet or Instagram me with hashtag #25DoS!

It’s officially sequin season, and for the second year in a row, I’m attempting to wear a little bit of glitter for every day of December leading up until Christmas. If you’d like to join in the fun, tweet + Instagram your sparkly accents with hashtag #25DoS– even if you only do it a couple days, I’d still love to see! Follow me on twitter @emilygeaman and Instagram @emilyshell.
Wishing you all a sparkly holiday season! xx

You know what? Life is short. Too short to not wear sequins + glitter mary-janes + big bows during the daytime. And that’s what I think about that.
You always dress in yellow, when you wanna dress in gold.
Who sings that GO!
Yeah. Hilary Duff.
But it’s the inspiration for my Friday’s Fancies today! One of my new year’s resolutions is to stop being afraid. So when {av} announced that today’s theme is “Best Foot Forward,” I thought, might as well take a leap and embrace something I’d probably have been too shy to wear before now…

Happy Friday blogadees! I hope you’ve all had a relaxing week off, or if you’ve been working, a relaxed and quiet week in the office! I’m headed off to The Big Apple today to ring in 2012 with some friends I haven’t seen in far too long. But before I go, I’m linking up with {long distance loving} for a NYE Friday’s Fancies. I’ll actually be wearing my bolero that I just can’t get enough of tomorrow night, but I’m also pretty smitten with this glittery Topshop number and sparkly accessories…
Scattered Beaded Babydoll Dress, Topshop, $85
Valorie Glitter Clutch, Edit New York, $550
Putting on the Ritz Mini Ring, Kate Spade, $55
Charm Heels, Kate Spade, $325
And as a quick closeout to 2011… it was certainly a year of changes. I am more than ready for a new one to start, but I’m thankful for everything I learned and for everyone I’ve met this year, especially my friends in the blogging community! Reading your blogs and getting to know you has been a highlight to say the least. I’m excited for what the new year has in store for me, and what I have in store for it.
Bring it 2012.
