Dreaming of a PINK Christmas

My love for the color pink is unending. It's been my favorite color always, so it's actually kinda surprising I've yet to do any pink color themed posts thus far. I guess I get caught up in whats trending at the moment. It's a disorder caused by working retail I think.


Anyway! Every year I tend to lean more towards a pink and green combo when it comes to my Christmas outfits and it just so happens I've been finding a lot of wonderful pink Christmas lovelies while browsing the web. So here's my second Christmas post...and probably my last until next year. I still have lots of wrapping to do and I have a feeling my gifts will most likely be covered in pink.

And of course, stick around til the end to see a wonderful Etsy Treasury I've curated just for you! :)

Pink Christmas FLASHBACK!! My pink Christmas outfit from last year. Made that necklace using an ornament of course and check out that curly cue ribbon adorning my purple hair!

(Already have a pink outfit picked out for this year)

I don't remember where I discovered this artist& the only information I could find on her is she is from Finland and sells her prints here: http://society6.com/nokkasili.

Her  work is really beautiful and I had to share! You can see her paintings and drawings on her tumblr: http://nokkasili.tumblr.com/

Here are some of my favorites:

Danielle Christine Jewelry Update

Been keeping super busy with my jewelry line, so that calls for my monthly update and shameless self promo!

I recently had two of my favorite fashion bloggers wear some of my pieces which I'm always excited about and also been making lots of new things which I gotta show off!


The gorgeous Bebe of Fated to Be Hated rocked another piece...my Skull Peter Pan Collar Necklace.

She made it look great of course. I'm still selling the skull collar necklaces in my shop, except they're in pink and green. I may make a few more black and white ones. We'll see...I have a lot of things on my jewelry making itinerary.

And then had the lovely Lua of Le Happy  wear a Gray Fringe and Crystal Point Necklace I made and she looking amazing as well! I'm thinking about making a few of these, maybe in other colors as well..again we'll see where my creativity takes me. It has a mind of its own.

And then here's some of my latest creations.

Handpainted Twig and Seashell Necklace

Handpainted Twig and Seashell Necklace

Those 2 handpainted ones were super fun to make! Took a lot of time, but it was worth it for the turn out!

Pyrite Stones Necklace

And something a bit more simple...I had to buy these rainbow titanium coated pyrite stone beads, because I just love how they reflect so many colors. The are really much prettier in person, but I try to photograph my jewelry as best as I can. 

 I've been experimenting with "props" and different lighting techniques, but I really want to keep the focus on the jewelry without distracting, hopefully enhancing. I'll continue experimenting with different techniques and set ups probably forever, but I think these represent my style at the moment.

Dress it down: Sequins and a Sweater

All things that sparkle and shine is what's been catching everyone's eye lately...and because the holidays are creeping up on us sequins are abundant!

So just when you thought sequins were just for New Year's, Christmas, and the club, the fashion forward are breaking the rules again.

Question: How do you wear that sequin skirt after the party is over?

Answer: Dress it down with a sweater...make it cute and comfy! Never thought you'd hear the term casual sequins until now. Be a fashionably rebellious with this trend..and let me know what you think in the comments below!

And feel free to share some of yours in my comment boxes below!

And here's my Christmas PAR-TAY!!! Etsy Treasury. 

Holographic.

Looks like the 90s really are coming back in full force...and of course, when things are this shiny..I get very excited.

I know the holographic trend can be very very scary and it is very hard to pull off unless in small doses.  I will say that the following images, although not all be completely wearable in real life, are pretty great in my eyes.

Who knows, it is 2012, and this material is always thought to be quite "space age-y" things could get crazy and people may just start wearing all these things on a regular basis. Like Zenon Girl of the 21st Century....

Yeah I went there. Anyone who grew up in the 90s wanted to dress like her...don't lie.

Oh...AND because I love doing this, I made a lovely etsy treasury for all your sparkly needs which will be found below per usual.

Hussein Chalayan

Blumarine Fall/Winter 2012 

Lots of holographic and metallic fabrics on this runway show...definitely a must see.

Personally I would wear all of these things...except the pants. I don't really do pants.

Proenza Schouler Bag

How fun is this Chanel nail polish?!

Shoes: Gianvito Rossi and Proenza Schouler

And of course..my Latest Etsy Treasury made just for this post! :)
