The holiday season is here! This means holiday parties and events. Which leads us to . . . dressing up in sparkling ensembles for holiday parties and events! YES!

Nothing is more fun than getting decked out for a holiday party this 2013 season. I love the sparkling holiday clothing and accessories which can be found every festive season. I was thrilled to find this beautiful blue and purple sequin top for the holiday season. I know I will be wearing it to several events during the holiday 2013 season. It may even work for New Years 2014! Hmmm. . . outfit to ponder. . .

What are you wearing for holiday parties and holiday events this season?

Laura Mercier Butterfly Wings nail polish review

Laura Mercier’s new “Butterfly Wings” nail polish offers an on trend, yet classic look. One of the biggest trends in fashion right now is the iridescent look. Iridescent hues have been popping up on everything from handbags to shoes to clothing; and of course on nail polish! Laura Mercier’s “Butterfly Wings” offers that “of-the-moment” iridescent look in a classic, cool pink which is edgy and sleek.

“Butterfly Wings” by Laura Mercier is perfect for the winter 2014 season, the holiday 2013 season; and as we move into resort 2014. The soft, cool pink with an iridescent look blends well with the current season’s color palette. “Butterfly Wings” plays well with winter 2014’s pastels and holidays hues such as red, green and metallics. Laura Mercier’s “Butterfly Wings” also works well with resort 2014’s bright colors, cobalt hues and colorful patterns. This is an easy color to wear every day and every night throughout the season! After all, who has time during the holiday season to paint their nails every day to match a different outfit? Not me!

I absolutely adore the iridescent pink hue of Laura Mercier’s “Butterfly Wings” nail polish for winter, the holidays and as we move into the resort/cruise season. This is a great color to wear all the time.

I tested Laura Mercier’s “Butterfly Wings” with one base coat and two coats of color; no top coat. The polish lasted six days without chipping! Love that!

Laura Mercier’s “Butterfly Wings” nail polish is limited edition and priced at $18. If can be found online here.

Jigsaw London Holiday Shopping Event recap

Jigsaw London on Fillmore Street in San Francisco held a fabulous shopping event on November 7, 2013 which helped kick off the holiday shopping season. The store was jam-packed with customers shopping for the holidays; as well as themselves!

I was impressed with the delightful treats and champagne which were placed at the front of the store among beautiful clothing and accessories. Not only was I surrounded by a festive atmosphere, I was surrounded by beautiful clothes! Even the décor was amazing. I fell in love with everything hanging on the wall!

Jigsaw London has a beautiful collection filled with Holiday ensembles, dressy attire and daytime looks. I feel in the love with the three dresses shown in the photo above. Of course, one of those dresses came home with me! Which dress do you think I picked? Stay tuned to find out which dress I decided to keep!
