Did you know that Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen designed a line exclusively for JCPenney? They sure did! The line is called Olsenboye. When I received this fun velvet peplum top in the mail, I knew it would be perfect for a holiday party outfit! Since it’s Sequin Season, I paired the black velvet peplum top with a gold sequin skirt and some sky-high pumps!

1. I swear the color of my tights and wedges didn’t look as mismatched in the early morning light of my bedroom mirror.
2. Frazzle dazzled day at work = Frazzle dazzled pictures.
3. LOVE this LOFT leopard skirt!

I love stocking stuffers! It’s probably due to my love of chachkies and cute, small things. I’ve rounded up some of my favorites this holiday season, but there are a few worth mentioning…
Birchbox — It really is the gift that keeps on giving! A $10/month beauty subscription service. Perfect for the beauty junkie friend or family member!
Henri Bendel Candles — I can’t get enough! I’ve been burning Autumn Noir and it’s the perfect fall scent! I also love their Fig and their Gardenia. Gardenia makes me feel like I am back in Hawaii, it’s amazing! 3 for $38
Tassi — You might wonder how a hair wrap found it’s way into my gift guide, but I can explain. My aunt first gave me this magical terry cloth headband when I went away to college. I’ve used one every single day since! They keep hair out of your face and don’t crease your hair one bit as you’re washing your face. All of my girlfriends have received them as gifts so they would stop using mine. Friends’ boyfriends’ moms have even started using them! I have one at my parents’ house, one in my travel bag, one in my bathroom, and one in my under-the-bed storage bin just in case something happens to one of the others. Just trust me, it’s the best thing that will happen to your beauty routine!

Another post from Old Town Alexandria! My aunt and I stopped by the Carlyle House to snap these pictures while we were out and about on Black Friday before the Tree Lighting.

Happy Monday! Gosh, it feels like Thanksgiving was just yesterday. Where does the time go?!
I spent the long weekend in Alexandria, Virginia visiting my aunt for the holiday. It was SUCH a fun weekend! I remember really liking Old Town Alexandria and Georgetown when I visited in 2007, but OMG — I want to move there. Like tomorrow. L.O.V.E.
I just can’t get over the fall foliage in the DC area. AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS. Weeks past peak and the absolutely leaves blow NYC out of the water. Times 5,000.

When it comes to the holidays, comfort is key. In my eyes, this means over-sized tops and an elastic waistband. Unless of course you are in to unbuttoning your pants at the dinner table, then by all means, wear your skinny jeans. 
Since lululemon yoga pants are out of the question and I haven’t given in to my non-pregnant-urge to buy a pair of Paige stretchy-waist maternity jeans, I had to round up some other comfy chic options.
Left: J.Crew Jodhpur Pixie Pant / Halogen Bow Flats / Maroon Infinity Scarf / Vince Gold Sequin Top
Right: Madewell Sequin Pants / J.Crew Chunky Sweater / Juicy Couture Toggle Link Necklace / Steve Madden Leopard Flats
Believe me… By the end of the day, you’ll be giving thanks for the elastic waistband. Go ahead, have that second serving of pumpkin pie.
Happy Thanksgiving! xo

I’ve been wanting a pair of camo pants for a little while now, and finally gave in when Gap had a pair for 20% off. They’ve since sold out so I’m glad I got them while I could! I paired my camo skinnies with some sequins to make them a bit more girly. It is #sequinseason, after all! I have a few more outfit ideas for these pants… they’re a lot more versatile than one would think.

A colorful ensemble to wear on Bows & Sequins’ birthday last Monday! I almost wore my pair of nude bow flats, but I figured I would switch it up a little with some glittery ankle boots.

LOVING my new J.Crew cardigan! Yes, those would be bows made out of sequins. This cardigan is basically the sister version of my pants (seen here and here)!
