O U T F I T D E T A I L S : RUFFLE TOP | SEQUIN SKIRT (SIMILAR, ALSO IN RED & BLACK) | BCBG PUMPS -- OLD (SIMILAR, FUN SPARKLY OPTION) | VINTAGE CLUTCH -- FOUND THE EXACT ONE! (SIMILAR, SIMILAR VINTAGE)
I love December, and while I early prefer the warmer months of Fall leading up to it, the festive season gets me right in the feels! The music, the parties, the decor and the glam--this is definitely the time of year I love to pull out the sparkle and sequins and go ham!
Sequin pieces are something I love to collect (I have an entire Pinterest board dedicated to sequin outfits!) but I tend to only wear them during the holiday season, so now is the time to take advantage.
I have a couple sequin skirts in my wardrobe and this one is four years old (case in point, eek!), but I've linked a bunch after the jump if you're looking to add one to your closet. I paired mine with a pretty off-shoulder-ish ruffle top and a classic black pump. To off set the harshness of the black shoe, I added the mesh-beaded clutch and a red lip to tie it together. Another great option would be with a chunky sweater tucked into only the front of the skirt, or a simple tee for an edgy-chic look.

Good morning & happy Monday! How was your weekend? It's been three weeks since I've done a Weekend Recap, which is the longest I've ever gone, because I've been so sick... and am still sick. And when you're sick, there isn't much to write home about... or share on the blog! I was improving last week, but by Friday afternoon, I lost my voice and have barely spoken all weekend. Cue incredibly frustrated faced emoji. #girlneedstotalk
By the way, Happy December! Holy smokes, the holidays are here / around the corner and I'm unprepared, but, there is still time. How are your preparations going?
That said, I'm functioning and feeling way better than I was, so that's a huge win, and my appetite hasn't diminished, ha, so with that, onto the food-heavy weekend recap.

I'm finally wrapping up the last of our trip to Italy. From Bellagio, we took a 45 minute hydrofoil boat ride to the small town of Lake Como. We stayed at a the boutique-style Hotel Metropole Suisse, and the location was perfect as it was directly across the street from the hydrofoil dock--and when you're lugging far too many suitcases, you want to be close.
We checked in, dropped our bags and took in the view. We had a gorgeous lake view, and the mountains were just stunning. Such a picturesque spot to stay, and I was excited to get out and explore.

Happy Black Friday--how was your turkey day? In Canada ours is in October, so the coma has since worn off but I could definitely handle round two in November. Hope you spent a great evening with family and friends, if possible.
Black Friday is easily one of my favourite shopping days of the year--and everyone else--and like in years past, I've rounded up some of my favourite deals + my picks so you can get your shop on after the jump. The off shoulder top I'm wearing above is also on sale (and I'm wearing a large for size reference),
TGIF & happy shopping!
