I love crystals, stones and pretty much anything that is sparkly. Just today, I walked around the mall for a good three hours and everything I fell in love with had some type of bling on it. I saw lots of gorgeous clothing pieces as well as shoes that were adorned in crystals. They were all drop dead gorgeous and of course I wanted them all. The only crystal type bags I ever see are by Judith Leiber and Swarovski. Both brands make stunning clutches and I’m proud to own a Swarovski one. With that said, while browsing around Neiman Marcus today I came across the Marchesa Lily Crystal Box Clutch and I instantly fell in love. The clutch is breath taking and I can seriously envision a bride carrying this around on her wedding day. I know most brides normally don’t get a clutch to go with their gown but if any chose to this should be the one!

There’s a couple of days left to wrap up your Christmas shopping! If you have yet to purchase for that special gal in your life but that designer handbag on her wish list seems out of your budget, why not opt for the reliable and handy comforts of a designer wristlet. There’s a large market for those adorable pouches that dangle off a band or bracelet, every fashion brand including couture designers seem to support the popular arm candy.

‘Tis the season for great fashion and so many designers have amazing accessories out right now. Judith Leiber never disappoint and she struck a high note with the “Noel” Ornament Clutch. Just last week, my Mom and I decorated our Christmas tree and it’s amazing how much detail we put into it. I always say, the way you decorate your Christmas tree is a reflection of your style. I absolutely love the color pink but for around the house I love a lot of cream and gold colors. With that said, I have a small pink tree in my room that also had dark pink ornaments. However, in my living room my Christmas tree is classy and elegant looking! It’s cream, gold and silver. It’s gorgeous and I think it says me all over it.

‘Tis the season to be glam! Every year when New Years is about to approach we start seeing a lot of glitter, sequins and lots of shiny accessories in the fashion world. Today I was at the mall all day and pretty much every store had tons of dresses and shoes that were adorned in something gaudy. I’m not typically a fan of glitter or sequins because I feel you can’t use it much. However, there are some brands that do an impeccable job incorporating shining materials into fashion and Judith Leiber is amazing at it. I personally love crystals. It’s my thing but sometimes some designers just know how to make something shiny look fabulous and Judith Leiber is one of those designers.

I’m an extreme girly girl and I’m absolutely obsessed with crystals! The more crystals something fashionable has, the better! I know sometimes too much of anything can be tacky but crystals tend to make everything look a little more beautiful. Sparkly is always in for an evening look. I currently own a stunning crystal clutch by Swarovski but I can’t wait for the day that I can buy my very first Judith Leiber clutch. Judith Leiber clutches are like no other and I believe them to be pieces of art. What I love about the Judith Leiber brand is that she makes the clutches in pretty much every design imaginable. Every woman can find at least one clutch she likes by the popular brand. I know I tend to like the ones that lean toward the cute side but there is something for everyone. My all time favorite Judith Leiber clutch will always be the “Cupcake” one that we saw in the first Sex and the City movie but the brand comes out with super cute pieces consistently.

My Father’s side is English, so naturally I have an obsession with tea. I great up with afternoon tea and I drink it often. Even when I’m at the mall I have to make it a point to always stop at Teavana. I know, Teavana isn’t English tea but it sure is good. I’m extremely picky and I can vouch that Teavana has great tea! Just yesterday I stopped in and had “Youthberry” on ice. I highly recommend you try it.

When I was browsing around the Neiman Marcus website, I came across the Judith Leiber Earl Grey Teapot. I’ve seen a lot of gorgeous Judith Leiber bags but this maybe my favorite of all. First and foremost, I like Earl Grey tea so the name instantly caught my attention. Secondly, the fact that it’s a crystallized teapot made my heart pitter patter. Can you imagine going to an event carrying a “blinged” out teapot? You’ll be the talk of the party! People may just ask you if you have hot water or tea in it!

Obsessed: Anya Hindmarch Marano Music Box Clutch

The clutch that plays music ~ Suuriously you guys! When I first came across this clutch and saw the name “Marano Music Box” first thought was, oh cute, a little holiday box clutch with a retro inspired windup detail.. no wow factor for me. But no, this novelty clutch actually plays music, a festive ‘Deck the Halls’ tune. Pretty cool huh?

The Anya Hindmarch Marano Music Box is from the designer’s ‘All I’ve Ever Wanted’ Fall / Winter ’12 Holiday Collection.

Pair it with the Lela Rose Embellished silk-organza Dress and Jimmy Choo Loila Metallic Sandals.

Obsession: Alexander McQueen Ostrich Feather Clutch
Alexander McQueen clutches always make a statement and this one is not a point shy of spectacular.

It’s princess meets punk glam! I love the light and fluttery ostrich feathers combined with the signature shimmering brass-knuckle clasp with skull, floral, and crystal embellishment.

Pair it with the Nicholas Kirkwood blue suede booties and Maison Martin Margiela leather and wool dress.

I have been in a crystal phase lately. I just bought a pair of high heels that are adorned in crystals and I’ve been using my crystal Swarovski clutch non-stop lately. To top it off, I can’t stop looking at anything fashion wise that features crystals. Crystals make everything prettier and who doesn’t love a little extra sparkle especially when it comes to an evening look. Swarovski evening bags are beautiful but Judith Leiber is the queen of making breathtaking crystal clutches.

The Judith Leiber “Butterly” Cake Minaudiere is beyond beautiful and takes the cake for the most beautiful bag I’ve ever seen made by her. It’s seriously just as stunning as the cupcake clutch she made that was featured in the first Sex and the City movie.
