I wanted to take some photos while I still had my my Christmas decorations up in my office. They will be coming down since tomorrow is the Day of Epiphany, the last day of Christmas, I believe. Ever since I looked to celebrate Advent and Christmas in terms of their genuine meaning, I decided to celebrate the 12 days of Christmas until Epiphany to remind me of the joy of the season, and in a way, to prolong it.
The cute framed Snoopy cross-stitch was a gift from my cousin from when I was very little. I can't believe that I still have it, but I decided to pull it out and decorate my office.
When I saw this turqoise velvet blazer at the Sonshine Shop, I couldn't resist. It was in such great condition, and the color is lovely. Plus, velvet is so soft and warm, although we certainly didn't need it today in Southern CA! So sunny and warm today, and very much welcomed by me compared to last week's temperatures in the 30's and 40's (at night, that is). Apparently, it's going to be 80 tomorrow! The pants are so comfortable and make me think of men's trousers. You can't tell by the photo but they are herringbone pattern, which I've always loved for formal work pants.
I love this necklace. It was my mom's. She bought a set of three of these ivory necklaces a long time ago when she was single, and she gave me two of them. Lovely, isn't it? I will definitely be wearing the other one sometime soon.
I will never be a minimalist in terms of style. I just love to accessorize too much, especially with jewelry. The chunky flower bracelet, the peacock hairclip, and one of the rings is from one of my favorite jewelry vendors called Love MM Couture. Their costume jewelry style is so gorgeous, I never thought I would love chunky, sparkly jewelry like theirs so much. I will definitely be featuring more of their jewelry that I own.
Lastly, these amazing shoes are SSS finds as well and they were completely brand new, even still in the box. Again, the whole outfit came together as slightly masculine, but with a few feminine jewelry pieces. By the way, the white ceramic birds were also from the SSS, I love them as office decorations, and you will soon see that I have a thing for flowers and birds in my style!
It appears that the SSS is closed for maintenance so I'm not sure when they'll open again this week, but I'm excited to give you all a preview of some of the items we'll be selling from Sonshine Vintage very soon! Peace.
