{a new week + sequins}

Have always liked the way sequins glimmer when they catch the light and the sense of playful luxe they evoke . . .

Beautiful, show-stopping pieces bring Fall’s casual looks to a rich, sophisticated level by adding pure glamour to layered knits and turning laid-back looks into timeless, cosmopolitan style.

Dying over your shoes! The photo belongs in a magazine spread.

MJ said...

This might sound surprising, but nothing gives off a sexier femme feel than sequins. Sequins and diamonds.

Gorgeous, gorgeous! I adore sequins! Just adore them.

hrose said...

sequins are the most glorious wonderful embellishment in the world. i even think they might be better than feathers, which is another favourite of mine. they are just so happy, and pretty and lovely.
and 'playful luxe' is a great phrase. sums up sequins perfectly.

your pictures are great, as always, and you're right, a little bit of sequins goes a long way!

I love this post, I'm like a magpie too - drawn to anything shiny and sparkly! :)

Nikki said...

j'adore sequins, especially during the day. there's an unexpected glamour in using it when people expect it the least. =)

Miss Ookpik said...

I really like how you found some photos that "casualized" sequins. You've shown a lot of ways I never would have considered wearing sequins. Thanks!

wow... - those shoes ROCK. Love the items in pic 4 and 5, too.

That headband is just amazing. I love how special sequins can make an outfit look.

Ms Unreliable said...

It's amazing how subtle some sequins can be, they can add so much to an outfit, even just the sequined head scarf.

Trixy Tran – thanks so much

Relyn – Your far too kind, and P. would be so pleased :)
