Save the sequins!

Sequin Leggings $298

Sequin Leggings $98.

I've been eyeing the Alice+Olivia sequin leggings for some time now and $298 dollars later...they were about to be mine. That is until of course, I stumbled upon that gosh awful store Express, no offense to those of you who fancy this place, I personally just steer away from it. Anyway, moving on...out for everyone to see, a non avoidable shine of sequins hugging the long legs of an express mannequin caught the corner of my eye.  It's as if the god of fashion was taunting me and purposely trying to wheel me in. Sure enough, I was held captive and quietly made my way into the store with high hopes nobody would catch me. I was in and I had a mission. The black, long, glittery legs of the mannequin was nothing more than a replica of the Alice + Olivia sequin leggings I've been obsessing over the past few weeks. For a a nice little tag of $98... what was a girl to do? I asked myself out of all the stores in the world...why this generic place? Nontheless, they were perfectly made, had a beautiful shine to them and I knew right then and there...they were coming home with me. I had to save them from hanging in that store after all. The horror these pants had to go through! I thought of it as a fashion mission. Save the sequins! With the sequins saved and a bargain I couldn't miss... I thought I would indulge in the Alice+Olive Sequined Cascade cardigan. With some shredded jeans...you can't go wrong. Mission Accomplished.

Alice + Oliva Sequined Cascade Cardigan $385

XOXO, M.

Tis the season to be jolly, well....to be correct, thankfull. I count my blessings and have much to be thankfull for, but let's get right down to business. Hermès! Oh how you never fail me. I'm so very thankfull to Hermès for designing such a sleek and fantastic cuff to add to my xmas wish list. It made it's way to the top of my list and by the history of my xmas wish list in the past, it's looking pretty good. My top pick usually always makes it's way under my tree and into my arms at the stroke of midnight. I don't know what it is with christmas that brings my inner child out. I'm the 20 something girl you'll find snooping around the house, looking in every closet, under the bed and the trunk of the car just to catch a glimpse of whats in store for me. About 2 months away and I can't even contain myself. But let's move on and get back to what we all came here for, the Hermès cuff. Created in 1949, this edgy design is back in full effect. From the Hermès "Everything old is new again" files, I can live with the silver hardware as pictured above, but a gold plated cuff would melt my heart. It's my clear choice. As most of you know, I'm bananas over pyramid studs whether it be my bags or jewelery. The Hermès cuff would fit just perfectly with my current obsession...the Tory Burch 'Studded Satchel'

Only 49 more days and my wrist should be flawless.

Until then....I'll rock my CC Skye 8 Stud Cuff.
