Holiday Party Glam
It's November - which means it's time to begin the search for holiday party attire! My boyfriend and I have been hosting annual holiday parties since we've been together, and I always have the hardest time figuring out what to wear. The biggest dilemma is that shoes are not able to be part of the outfit, as he is Asian, and we have a "no shoes in home" policy. Trying to find a cocktail dress that still looks chic with bare feet is quite challenging.
Here are some of my top picks for my readers...who can wear shoes to their events!

Nordys Half-Yearly Sale Picks!
When my sister and I were kids, my mom would take us shopping and always tell our dad that we were going to "shop til we dropped!" and we literally would. We shopped all day, had lunch, and then shopped some more. So it is no surprise I am the way I am today. Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale is one of the greatest sales in retail. I always look forward to this and try to stock up on everything I've been lusting for, that is sometimes 50% off! Here are some of the items I will be checking out this weekend...
I was hoping to find the following shoes on sale, but unfortunately they are not. Here's hoping for a Black Friday sale!!

Trend: Loafers
I've seen this trend on blogs, in mags and in stores...but I haven't quite bought in. However, I saw a girl walking in the city last week wearing a pair of leopard loafers and I've been thinking about this trend ever since. Perhaps it was the leopard...but I think I need to try on a pair of these next time I'm at the mall. What do you think of loafers? Do you own a pair - or do you plan to? Click any shoe for more information, or click here for the dalmation print loafers.

Wishlist Wednesday
Love this cuff I saw in September's issue (I know, I'm a couple month's behind) of People StyleWatch. The mix of textures is to die!

DIY: Lanvin Belt
When I saw this on Who, What Wear, I knew I had to post about this. 1. Lanvin is an insane brand that I lust over and 2. the DIY part is so incredibly easy, how can I not create one of these fantastic belts for myself! Also would be a great Christmas gift for a fashionista friend.
DIRECTIONS
1. Before cutting the ribbon, measure your natural waist-where the belt should hit-then add 12 inches to that number. (For example, if your waist is 25" around, you'll need 37" of ribbon. The extra inches will allow you to tie the belt around your waist.) Once you have the correct number, cut a piece of double satin ribbon to that length. Set ribbon aside.
2. Now it's time to make the glitzy part of the belt! Place the yard of black felt in front of you, then arrange the sequin patches to create a design you like. PS: it's okay if they overlap.
3. Once you are happy with how you've placed the patches, apply fabric glue to the back of each one and adhere to the felt. Hold in place for a few seconds to help set.
4. After your sequin patches are dry, it's time to trim the felt! Snip any extra felt around the outside edges of the sequin patches; the goal is to give it a clean and finished edge.
5. Once you have cut out the sequin design, attach it to the center of the ribbon using a generous amount of the fabric glue. PS: A glue gun also works as well.
