Happy Holidays!

I'll be taking a bit of a blogging break (maybe...), so I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Thank you all for following along the Urban Slant these past few months -- it's been such a blessing to "get to know" (digitally, and some in person!) each of you.

 

obsession: glitter

First, thank you all for your well wishes yesterday. I feel much better today, and all your sweet comments made my day.

Second, it must be the impending Holiday season, or my recent desire to shine, but I'm totally obsessed with anything that has sparkles. On a recent shopping excursion I found myself picking up anything and everything with glitter.

I have the most fabulous vintage sparkle clutch that I add to most every outfit in the winter time. It instantly adds that "je ne sais quoi" when going out on the town.

Given the influx of this trend in the stores, I can already see myself purchasing many a glitter infused pieces this season. First purchase: this glimmer top from J.Crew. Do you die for it?! I do. I really do.

How will you sparkle this season??

best. time. of. the. year.

There are few things in life that get me as happy as the red holiday cups at Starbucks. In the midst of craziness at work, traveling and galavanting around NYC, I just NOW realized that the Red cups are back in action for the Holidays! Oh. Em. Gee!

The red cups not only symbolize cooler temperatures, but also the start of the best season of the year. In the next month and a half, it will be my Mom's birthday, mine (on Thanksgiving!), Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. WOA. That is a lot.

I don't have much else today besides urging everyone to go to their nearest overpriced (but delicious) Starbucks and indulge in a Grande, Non-Fat (but keep the whip, it is the best part, right?) Gingerbread latte.


What symbolizes the start of the Holiday season for you?
