I have officially jumped on the "selling my overflowing closet" via instagram bandwagon.  If you are interested in some sparkly dresses and fun items, please follow @shopmodernsequins on instagram and check out the details.  It starts today, Thursday 11/29.  Hope you find something sparkly for the holidays.


yes to the dress.

I've been on a major closet cleaning kick, cause I'm dying to make room for little beauties like this Parker dress.  w-o-w!  I wouldn't mind wearing this beauty to pretty much every holiday party this season.  But first things first, I still need to finish cleaning out my closet.  And a little sale of some of my closet items is shortly coming...stay tuned.

a very merry delightfully chic holiday.

Back when I styled these looks for Glitter Guide, I was ecstatic that I got to pull clothes from Chloe Rose boutique.  This place is seriously stocked with the cutest clothing.  Well, today is an exciting day!!!  It's Cyber Monday and Chloe Rose boutique is offering all of my readers 30% off your entire online purchase (excluding sale items*) today thru Friday Nov. 30th.  Just use the code "CMSEQUINS30".  Ekkkkkkkkkk, I've already got my eye on these leggings and this amazing little bird top.  They have SO many great holiday options.  Go get online immediately.

thankful.

We are so very thankful for our amazing family and friends.  This year has brought about many happy moments, some very sad moments, challenges, and great memories.  G and I are so very thankful for the wonderful people that fill our lives and have been there for us throughout it all.  thank you!  We hope everyone enjoys their holiday.

faux tattoos.

My latest obsession is tattly.  They seriously have the most stylish temporary tattoos that I have ever seen.  I may or may not have spent the last few weekends addictively putting them on.  I mean, can you blame me?  How amazing are they?  My personal faves are be happy & the arrows.

simple sparkle.

I created a look similar to these a few weeks ago and really wish I would have snapped a photo.  Oh well, guess that just means I will have to sport it again soon.  I love mixing something super sparkly (like a sequin skirt or dress) with something super casual (a simple white tee or a fitted sweatshirt).  So cute, right?

the rug.

As evidenced here, here, and here...I basically haven't been able to shut up about that moroccan style rug.  I was debating on which size to purchase and if I should get the one from west elm, blah blah blah.  And then I found this one at Target and I fell head over heels.  Oh and you absolutely cannot beat that price, under $130 for the 5x7, yes please!  I got that size and we are loving it in our living room.

candle light.

The other night a group of girlfriends and I got to talking about candles.  We all agreed that they are the perfect gift (for a hostess, birthday, holiday).  I have to admit that I used to turn my nose up at pricey candles, but now that I've received a few as gifts, I'm going to say that my mind has definitely changed.  I swear that these candles pack a much bigger scent punch, and they last for-ever!  These are my two faves, trish mcevoy wild blueberry vanilla & voluspa santiago huckleberry.  Do you have any favorites that I should try out?

holiday lights.

Over the weekend, we got started on a little holiday decor.  Is it a bit too early for that?  Ha, maybe, but I couldn't help myself.  I sprinkled a few string lights around our home.  I also switched up the light we have hanging in our living room.  Day-to-day we have a white tord boontje pendant light, which I love love love.  I actually have a long love affair with tord boontje.  For our wedding day I may have asked the venue to change out ALL of the lighting so we could hang our tord boontje pendant lights (and a few of my fave gehry cloud lamps).  Eeeeekkk, was that going a bit too far?  Probably...ha!  So, back to the holiday decor.  We switched out the white for a gold light and I'm loving the soft glow it casts on our living room.  Now I'm ready for the weather to cool down even a bit more and to spend evenings relaxing in our living room amongst the lights.
