I’m dreaming of a White Christmas with {long distance loving}‘s Friday’s Fancies today!

Cashmere Cable Sweater, J Crew, $228
Skinny jeans, J Brand, $191 
Cross-Continent Weekender, Anthropologie, $178
All Wrapped Up Ear Warmer, Kate Spade, $51 
All Wrapped Up Pearl Drop Earrings, Kate Spade, $68 
All Wrapped Up Pearl Short Necklace, Kate Spade, $128 
All Illuminated Heels, Anthropologie, $95 

Since my mini vacation and few days of relaxation begins today, I thought I’d go with a comfy winter white look with this sweet cable knit sweater. In case I haven’t featured Kate Spade bow accessories enough this year, there’s three more for you! And I think I just found bliss in a handbag with that Cross-Continent Weekender.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas if that’s your cup of tea, and if not then a joyous holiday season! Please eat, drink, be merry and safe :) See you sometime next week!

Dress, H&M
Locket, CatBird
Bracelet, Bfrend

I wore this lacey number and my favorite sequinned gold clutch out last week to the Boston Bloggers Holiday Fiesta, hosted by the lovely av of {long distance loving} and Katy of Modly Chic! I had so much fun catching up with some of my blogger gal pals from Rendez-Vous New England this past fall, meeting many new faces and friends, and just celebrating the holidays! And I sure don’t hate an excuse to dress up.

In other news, five days until Christmas…!

… for holiday parties!

Linking up with {long distance loving} for a Holiday Party-themed Friday’s Fancies! Thought I’d break away from the traditional red + green + silver looks I usually love at this time of year and instead put together a [dream] outfit around pale pink + shimmer. Yes, I know you’re tired of seeing it, but that Kate Spade book clutch is still number one on my lust-ever-after list. Sorryimnotsorry.

Light & Lace Dress, Anthropologie, $258
Chain Wrapped Drop Earrings, Free People, $298
1837 Cuff, Tiffany & Co., $225
Emma Book Clutch, Kate Spade, $325
Ballet Slippers Nail Polish, Essie, $8
Avanessi White Gold Love Ring, Max & Chloe, $350
Gussied Up Heel, ModCloth, $43 

Now if only I had some real occasions to wear this number. Oh, and the money to purchase it :)

Happy weekend friends! Hope it’s a good one for you all. I’ll be busy dancing my little heart out!

I had been wondering if Anthropologie was going to give into the sequin styles this season! But in true Anthro fashion, they have made the trend their own. Here are some sparkly pieces on my lust list:

Alpheratz Sweater, $178

Twinkle Lights Pencil Skirt, $218

Wink & Rimple Dress, $228

Elena Clutch, $98

post script. Happy December! I think I’m going to make it my goal to wear at least one glittery item every day this month. Don’t worry, you know I’ll document it.

Ok dears. Here it is. I give you the so anthro Holiday Gift Guide.

Or, if you need it to be, my wishlist.

[1] A charm for Pandora/Chamilia bracelets, like this Pumpkin Coach one!
[2] These Kate Spade book clutches are adorable for any lover of all things classic. Choose between Emma, The Importance of Being Earnest, Romeo & Juliet, and A Tale of Two Cities.
[3] I have been lusting over these beautiful Joules Evedon Wellies ever since I first spotted them on Pinterest a couple months ago. I love my Hunters, but these would actually make me look forward to rain.
[4] American Apparel Poly Canvas and Leather Bow Clips. Ok, any bow clips really.
[5] I am loving Anthropologie’s new charm shop! They have the most delicate little charms to adorn necklaces with- so very Anthro of them :)
[6] Melting over these celestial blue leather gloves from J Crew.
[7] Dreaming of tropical temperatures with this Lilly Pulitzer Ditra Dress…
[8] And dreaming of a February birthday with this Lilly Pulitzer Angelie Dress.
[9] A BabyCakes Pie Pop Maker! Too cute. Or if you prefer cake pops, doughnuts, mini cupcakes, or whoopies pies, they have those too.
[10] And never can Santa go wrong with a pair of classic Tory Burch Reva Ballet Flats.

Hey, it’s nice to dream isn’t it?
