Missing in Action

Hello lovelies! I am not one to go MIA without dropping a note, so you must be wondering what happened and where are all the lovely sparkle posts I had promised for this week? Life is unpredictable, and sometimes you go through a phase where you experience highs and lows simultaneously. I am moving roles (within the same organization) and will be working with a new team starting January. So this last week, my team threw me a wonderful farewell lunch, showered me with thoughtful gifts which brought a tear to my eye and made me feel so special and loved. I am touched…

Sparkle #166: Vintage Holiday Cards

Happy Monday folks! It’s almost Christmas, and I cannot wait until the holiday season officially kicks in sometime next week. With less than 10 days to go for Christmas, I have been obsessed with finding the perfect holiday cards which I can share with my loved ones. I think I am strongly leaning towards vintage themed holiday cards this season. Just browsing through some of these cards makes me feel so warm and happy inside. They remind me of a simpler, nicer time and a Christmas spent with family, friends, love and gratitude. These vintage cards reinforce the values of the holiday, and help us focus on all the wonderful…

Sparkle #165: Christmas Tree Decoration Themes

I like coming up with a theme for decorating my Christmas tree every year. It is no fun to pile on all the ornaments in a random fashion on the tree. A themed Christmas tree on the other hand is so much more interesting to put together. I feel it looks and photographs better too! Pinterest is my biggest source of inspiration for Christmas tree decor ideas. Some interesting themes which caught my eye recently are pictured below. Which one of these should I pick for decorating my tree this year? Vote for your favorite using comments below. (PS – I…

Sparkle #164: Gorgeous Party Dresses

Parties and December go hand in hand! Whether it is a Christmas get together, a holiday party at work or a New Year’s bash – going out gets more frequent in December. And every evening out is an excuse to go shopping and pick up a new party dress! When it comes to party dresses, there are plenty of options to choose from – both in terms of tailoring and embellishments. I feel like we are living in a time where one can pretty much carry off anything – lace, sequins, beads, velvet – and still not commit a fashion faux pas. Personally, I avoid dresses with…
