Twelve Days of Trendy: Seasonal in Sparkles

Sometimes, I truly believe that I am the poster child for "Eager Beaver Syndrome:" I'm always looking forward to the next big event and get truly sad whenever I sit still for too long. In true EBS fashion, I'm already excited for New Year's. Preparing your loved ones for the new year with sparkly finds is killing two birds with one stone: presents and New Year's Eve prep.

When it comes to sparkles, especially when giving a gift, it's best to get them one show- stopping piece. As much as I love sequined minis, your recipient may not.  How glamourous is this Lipsy skirt? The gold sparkles are absolutely divine!  Forever 21's  Sequined Knit top is perfect for your token casual friend: festive, but relaxed.  Can we talk about this sequined bomber jacket? I would literally wear this to breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  If you don't want to break the bank, pick up an Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Liner: all of the fun colors will make a New  Year's outfit pop! 

Anything sparkly is the perfect present because, let's be honest, who doesn't love a little sparkle?

Biggest Mess Award.

Yesterday, I was laughing uncontrollably with my mom because, after calling for me a plethora of times, I finally responded to something that was not my name: Kesha. I find it so funny because I am nothing like the unworthy popstar. I'm sorry if anyone who reads this is obsessed with Kesha...but she's the biggest mess currently on the planet. Brushing your teeth with a bottle of Jack? You have a problem. But then I was thinking about her outfits and I can't express my hatred. Of course, I will try in this blog post. Way back at the 2010 Grammy Awards, she looked like a drunken Native American in that disgusting fringe dress (and I usually like fringe). There are some fashion forward elements that she incorporates into her outfits- fur, fringe, and sparkles- but she wears them wrong, even though fashion doesn't have a rule book set in stone. So if there are in fact no rules, how can she mess it up so badly? Consequently, Kesha, you proudly win the biggest mess award. I almost feel like she's a Gaga wannabe, which is almost shameful. She wears skeevy zebra unitards (please look above...if you dare), but it just looks so bad. Gaga can do it right because, as unique as she is, she is not messy. Also, she exudes confidence. Kesha exudes a bad hangover...THAT WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER END. It's not even mess, it's more like dirt and grime. It's gross. And she's even carrying her OWN disco-stick around?!? TOO MUCH, KESHA. Although fashion essentially has no rules,I think there are two things that's just common sense: confidence and cleanliness.Keep those two in mind, when you wake up feeling like P.Diddy, and maybe you'll get it right one day.
