Merry Christmas 2011!

Funky Combo

I wasn't sure about the combo of blush and rust even though I have seen some other bloggers out there wearing it, but after I tried it, I am sold.  This blush dress/tunic from H and M is so versatile.  I have dressed it up for a cocktail party and dressed it down with leggings.  It is pretty short though, so leggings or tights are always in order.

Krafty Kelly: Crazy, Skinny Pants

I picked these up at the thrift store back in the early fall.  I loved the crazy pattern and thought they would be really fun at Christmas time.  The bottoms were a bootcut/flared style and they were a smidge too short for me, so I decided to make them into skinny pants.
I basically used this tutorial, but I only stitched up the inseam, not the outseam. 
I think they turned out really well, and I have been enjoying wearing them to Christmas parties this season!

Red Nails and Diamonds!

Are you heading to a holiday party this weekend, and want to paint your nails a festive red?
I have found THE BEST RED NAILCOLOR!

Crawford's Wine by Orly

This is a gorgeous deep red with a crystaline finish.  Whenver I paint my nails this color, I get complements from cashiers when I am signing credit card receipts (and I assume they see lots of nails).  I have purchased this at Sally Beauty Supply in the past, but recently found it at CVS.  Give it a try for the holidays!

Also, thanks to a call from my MIL this morning, I was able to score some great looking diamond stud earrings for $49. 

Here is the link if you want to see if there are any left.
