With all the holidays right around the corner, I’m pretty sure my love affair with sparkly sequins is not going to end anytime soon.
One of my favorite KTRcollection piece shown during the KSW Runway fashion show this past September was this cobalt blue sequin skirt (seen on model here). It was made with my oversized bow detail for a more formal look, but for daytime, I tucked the bow under and paired the sparkly skirt with a casual printed t-shirt.
These days a little bling is no longer associated with a night on the town, but it is versatile and can be worn during the day if combined with the right pieces. The easiest way to incorporate sequins into your daytime wardrobe is to balance out the flashy-ness of the sequins with a casual item like a chambray, sweater/sweatshirt, or a t-shirt. I love this look because I can transition from day to night with ease and minimal changes to my outfit…
P.S. Thank you for your feedback on my last post about 50 Shades of Grey. I guess I’ll save my time and do something more worthwhile. Happy weekend and thank you for stopping by! xo

On days when I can’t decide what “outfit” to put together, my maxi dress always come to the rescue! It’s cute, chic, comfy, not to mention easy and efficient! Throw it on and you instantly look darling (plus if you don’t feel like shaving, who would know? :)
Stacey Bendt Eisner, designer and founder of Alice + Olivia is no stranger to girlie, flowy pleats! There’s something about the flowy-elegance meet relaxed-sophistication of this green pleated maxi dress that makes me feel like a princess every time I put it on. Definitely a favorite of mine in 2011 and will for sure be a repeat this summer….

If it’s one thing I love, it’s a fabulously bold peplum. This stunning Aqua Helena Bow Front Tailored mini peplum skirt from ASOS has been a hit amongst many stylish fashion bloggers such as the sweet Jamie of The Fancy Teacup, the fabulous Blair of Atlantic-Pacific, and the classy Layla of Chic Chef (from left to right).
When I purchased this skirt late last year, I was contemplating on pairing it with a kelly green top, but after seeing it so stylishly color-blocked by these ladies, I wanted to see how it would look against a basic black top. Black is such a universal color and can be paired with anything but sometimes can come off as too simple. With that in mind, I decided to have some fun accessorizing with pearls, flower pins, a statement ring and a pair of sheer vintage gloves…
