Pretty Pullovers

You know those days when you just can't bear the idea of putting on anything other than a sweatshirt? Well I've been having lots of these days lately but my old Ryerson hoodie just doesn't cut it for leaving the house.

What does cut it, and is equally as comfy as an old sweatshirt, is a pretty pullover. A striped cashmere sweatshirt from J. Crew, adorned pullovers from Forever 21, Sweet Rain's studded sweatshirt from eLUXE, and then there's the fashion blogger fav, Zoe Karssen's Créme de la Creme pullover (which is no longer available, but still a fun choice).

You know what I'd really love to get my hands on? A perfectly classic (and dare I say vintage?) Club Monaco Crest Sweatshirt. I had one in hunter green and one in burgundy in grade school, amazing how on trend I would have been with both colours this past fall.

What Are You Wearing New Years Eve?

Forget "What are you doing New Years Eve" (though Ella's version is delightful), I'd rather talk about what you're wearing. New Years is one night of the year that requires a little sparkle and I think you can really push the envelope.

My absolute favourite dress up item this holiday is Alexandra Grecco's Karinska Tulle Skirt. This is the skirt my dreams are made of. It's ethereal, feminine and girly but I think you could also get away with wearing it with chambray, a leather bomber or a plaid shirt (like one of my fav bloggers). It sits above the belly button, so how about a cropped bandeau? For New Years I'd go with a simple black tank, a statement necklace and sparkly shoes. It's sold out now, I wonder if I could make my own version?

Sequins are always perfect for New Years and I love this colourblock sequin dress from Madewell. It's on sale too!

Nothing says 'holiday' like velvet and this trapeze dress from Aritzia would look gorgeous belted with sky-high booties.

You know what else is festive? Feathers. This tie-dyed skirt at Zara is really pretty and really reasonable too.

I like the idea of being the confetti on New Years with this gorgeously detailed dress by Gryphon.
