Ready for winter? Well not quite, but is anyone ever really ready?
Holy crap you guys, Christmas is a week away and I'm on a major time crunch to finish my shopping. I am definitely getting there but still need a few more things. Also the wrapping.
Ugh, the wrapping.
Does anyone out there actually enjoy wrapping 46 gifts in a row? I mean, one or two, or seven even... but multiples of tens? No thanks. It's a miniature nightmare to me. But alas, it must be done and so while I could start my wrapping now, I'll likely leave it to the last minute and then kick myself for doing so.
Does anyone else feel like Christmas is coming too quick? I certainly do. I almost wish December was two-months long (ha, that doesn't really make sense, but you get me... right? I hope?... Crickets? Anyone?) so I could really prepare and get in the holiday spirit for longer, pre-Christmas. I love this time of year, the hustle and bustle, the music, the parties, the shopping and more. I always get so sad when Christmas is over... the big build up and boom, it's done. Wah wah.
I'm blabbering and I should be wrapping, so with that, have a wonderful December day! xo

Before & After
My friend's wife, Tahmina Miah, is starting her make-up business and so I went to see her to get mine done for a Christmas party yesterday. I requested a bold, smokey eye and a pink lip.
She totally nailed it and I was in awe of how cool my eyes turned out (talk about a blending genuis!). If only I could do my make-up like this on my own (ha!).

In case you missed my 4 Ways to Wear a Sequined Skirt video, I thought I'd share the still photos I took while making it.
Since the holiday season is upon us, there are often holiday parties to attend and cocktails to sip. And what if you don't have a holiday party to go to, but just want to wear those sparkly, sequiny, shiny and fancy items that are bedazzling the stores right now? In this case, a sequined skirt. Well, I've got an option for everyone.
From left to right:
1. Casual glam.
Pair your v-neck t-shirt with your sequined skirt for a laid-back look. Add some cap-toe pumps, a long necklace and chunky bangles to complete the look.
2. Office glam.
A patterned top and leather-accented blazer make the perfect business meets sparkle attire for the office. Add some peep-toed slingbacks and a chunky necklace for some edge.
3. Feminine glam.
A sheer campus top in a festive colour take this skirt from day to night. Pair it with some sky-high bronze metallic heels and you're ready for dinner with your man.
4. Edgy glam.
I took a men's white tee from Walmart and cut it into a tank top for this look. I made the sides extra open so the black lace bandeau would peek through. Add opaque tights, wedge booties and a chunky necklace to party all night long.
1. Joe Fresh tee, H by Halston shoes, Ardene necklace & Bijoux Terner bangles.
2. Jessica Simpson blazer, Smart Set top, Guess shoes, Bijoux Terner necklace & Detox cuff.
3. Urban Planet top, Smart Set cami, Bamboo shoes & Ardene necklace.
4. Walmart men's tee (cut up), Ardene bandeau, unknown tights, Aldo boots & Dynamite necklace.
