VIDEO: Holiday Lookbook

The time has come to bust out the sparkles, glitter, sequins, leather, lace, and drama when it comes to your wardrobe! I don't normally get too excited about the holidays but I do love dressing up. While deciding what to wear to parties, get togethers, and family dinners can be fun and exciting, it can also be stressful and time consuming. I've put together a few holiday season looks to give you some inspiration. Most of the looks are a mix of thrifted, vintage, and H&M clothing to show how you don't need to break the bank this season. I hope you enjoy and happy holidays/new years to you!

New Vintage Additions

If you read my last post on the Vintage Show, you're most likely curious to know what I actually bought at the show. Now that I've had the chance to properly photograph each piece, I'm pleased to show you what I picked up:


60s WHITE SEQUIN JACKET 

This is the first thing I found. I'm a sucker for all things sequin and have a growing collection. One thing I was missing was something in white sequins. When I saw this baby, I knew it was mine. It's from the 60s yet very clean and bright. Each sequin is still in place and I love the puffy shoulders.  

$35.00

TRUNK CLUTCH

I've been seeing a lot of boxy bags and clutches on the runway and street style for the past couple of years. I had been hesitant to buy one for two reasons. One, I hadn't really seen very many in stores and if I did, they were quite expensive. Two, they aren't very practical. I saw many at the show this year and I just couldn't stop thinking about them. I found this cute trunk one and fell in love. I didn't buy it right away though. I finished my loop around the show and since I couldn't get it out of my head, I decided it was meant to be. I can't wait to wear it out!

$45 (haggled from $60).

GOLD CHAIN

There were a lot more jewellery booths this year. One in particular had rows of vintage gold chains. I immediately knew I wanted one since I had been wanting to make use of my many brooches who don't see daylight enough. I'm planning on attaching a brooch to the middle to make it more unique. And yes, I realize I could find one of these at F21 for $10 but it will never match the quality of these vintage ones. 

$25.00

SILVER RING

It's tradition that I buy a ring at the vintage show. I recently developed an allergy to metal on my hands so I can only wear silver or gold and the vintage show is by far the best place to find real silver rings that have bobbles or jewels on them. I found this one at a booth that specialized in turning broken vintage jewellery into new creations. 

$15.00
