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.

Can I just say I love your blog?

Thought you should know =]

amazing stuff
i love it
Such a great post! That first jacket is to die for and I love that you have some vintage mixed in. Plus that last dress is gorgeous.
Just can't get enough of shoes right now so the photo of the shoes is my favorite. Just posted about new marc shoes and I can't decide which to buy first..
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!

LOVE those shoes!!
I had been hoping sequins would reappear!
I love this post, I'm like a magpie too - drawn to anything shiny and sparkly! :)
I must know what those shoes are!!
Wow! I love this collection of photos!!! I love how the light reflects off the glitter in some of these photos...great, great, great posts
Gorgeous, gorgeous! I adore sequins! Just adore them.
This might sound surprising, but nothing gives off a sexier femme feel than sequins. Sequins and diamonds.
Love the sparkling shoes!!!
:-)
What girl doesn't want a pair of sparkling shoes?

I completely adore this post. AND YOUR BLOG!
Dying over your shoes! The photo belongs in a magazine spread.
LOVE sequins, wonderful post you made out of it too!!!
j'adore sequins, especially during the day. there's an unexpected glamour in using it when people expect it the least. =)
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.
It's amazing how subtle some sequins can be, they can add so much to an outfit, even just the sequined head scarf.
Thanks, everyone, for all the lovely comments, and the great ones about my shoes :)
MJ – not surprising at all, and couldn’t agree more :)
Trixy Tran – thanks so much
Relyn – Your far too kind, and P. would be so pleased :)

That's very retro and fun!
