Yikes! I took a bit of a break from blogging due to the holidays, lack of a photographer and school madness! No promises on tons of posting these next two week due to finals, but after I’ll be all the way back in action! I wish I had more of a dramatic outfit for this post, but it’s pretty casual…

JC Penney Blouse | Forever 21 Sweater [seen here] | TJ Maxx Jeans | Candies Loafers | Michael Kors Watch

I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving and found tons of good deals shopping!!

Also, I want to do a holiday giveaway…..any ideas for what I should do??

Holiday Wishlist

As we all know, various holidays are approaching which means….sequins! Just kidding, kind of…that’s just what I think of when I think of all the holiday parties to attend. I’ve got a running wishlist, so I thought I’d share with you! Obviously, this isn’t for you to buy these exact items, but hopefully they can help inspire you to find something similar or spark a desire for some change in your wardrobe! I had to resist making everything on this collage sequin related, but as you can see chartreuse, bows, fur and sequins are playing a big part in my wardrobe. Also, while searching for these items, I absolutely fell in love with that ModCloth skirt and now I’m having trouble not purchasing it….

1. Kate Spade Studs [$38] / 2. Asos Clutch [$22] / 3. Modcloth Skirt [$50] / 4. Black Stiletto Booties [$35] / 5. Nordstrom Fur Scarf [$38] /6. Striped Sequin Dress [$40] /7. Rebecca Minkoff iPhone Cover [$48] / 8. Lord & Taylor Gloves [$48] / 9. Burgundy Lipcolor [$18] / 10. Neiman Marcus Clutch [$44] / 11. Juicy Couture Bracelet [$35] /12. Sequin Bow Dress [$35]

Faux In[vest]ment

I feel like my outfits have been super casual lately, and I could NOT wait to wear my fur vest! I’ve been seeing them everywhere, and I ordered mine from Tobi a while ago. This one’s a bit longer than I wanted, so I’m still on the hunt.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend, can’t wait to start celebrating the holidays this week!!

Falling for Fall

glitzyblues — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 04:55:12 +0000

Following up with my last post, I have a favorite checkered shirt I love for Fall….which happened to come from the J. Crew Men’s section! The temperature varies so much everyday, I just wear what I want and sweat it out in the afternoon or freeze at night. Anyway, I threw my wool socks on with my favorite boots [debuted here]. Anyway, I wish all my looks weren’t so casual, but being a college student, there just isn’t that much to dress up for in my daily life.

I just couldn’t get over this tree, hence this title!

Not the most flattering fit, but very comfortable.

Happy Fall, y’all!!

The weekend is so close, ah!

Also, I feel like I’m always follow me {insert social media site} BUT I’ve switched to a new pinterest, I always wanted to reorganize my old and I decided to get a fresh start with the Glitzy Blues name….so if you would be oh so kind enough to follow me, I will definitely follow back cause I’m lacking in the inspiration dept
