Holiday Mode {Part 1}

I ordered my first gingerbread latte today, I may or may not have listened to Christmas carols during my morning commute and I'm counting down the days for a chilly yet festive Thanksgiving spent in New York. It seems as though the day after Halloween our internal clocks automatically switch into holiday party mode (or at least mine does). And even though a "Haunted House" orange and black sign currently hangs on my apartment front door (note to self: time to take that down) my mind is preoccupied with upcoming cocktail parties, Thanksgiving meals to be cooked and New Years plans are in the works. Of course with all of these upcoming holiday parties comes the obvious question: what to wear?! Well, thanks to the sparkly JCrew 2011 spring collection debut (did you hear that ladies? sequins well into spring!!), I have concluded that I need to get my hands on a little more bling. Here's what is currently catching my eye... 

1. Forever 21 Large Bow Necklace*

2. DAY Birger et Mikkelsen Sequin-embellished silk-chiffon top

3. Alice + Olivia Sequin Sweetheart Tube Dress

4. Target Gold Sequin High Heels

5. Haute Hippie Silk Sequined Mini Skirt

6. JCrew Naomi Feather and Sequin Silk Skirt

7. Alice + Olivia Maggle Strapless Sequin Dress 

8. JCrew Mythica Bangle 

9. JCrew Galaxy Purse

*I own this necklace and can attest that it was the best $8 I've spent in awhile ;)
