I love to follow trends. Some I embrace, while others I admire from afar. The fun part for me is really in retrospect. Looking back years later and seeing what we identify as part of the common zeitgiest of that era. Like when you watch a movie and see something so "nineties" or come across an old photo and think this seems so "eighties". I'm already wondering what will be that one thing that will always remind me of 2011? So, as I peruse several catalogs, blogs and online shops, view t.v. commercials, receive party invites and attend functions, it becomes quite evident. I'm starting to see it. The "one thing" that I
know will represent the Holidays of 2011 for me when looking back years from now:
Glitter! It's literally everywhere. Clothes, cards, cupcakes, makeup, shoes, ornaments, ads...and then Pink's "Blowing Glitter In The Air" comes over Pandora, and this just seals it for me! I love this song and this whole glittery season. What trends do you think will always remind you of 2011?

Yes, I've been seeing tons of glitter too - in fact I almost bought that nail polish (in a glitter set) for my daughter for Xmas!!
ReplyDeleteI seem to be seeing peacock blue everywhere - that a little glitter makes the season bright!

Love all the festive glitter - and no, I've never thrown a handful in the air - I would be the one having to clean it up :)
ReplyDeleteFun images! I threw glitter once and let me tell you inside your home it's not a good thing hard to clean up.
ReplyDeleteMust be the little girl in us that makes us love glitter.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree-glitter, sequins, and cystals everywhere!
ReplyDeleteCould not agree more! I was just telling a friend that when I was in high school {about 10 years ago} glittered jeans were really popular and I am shocked that they haven't joined the glitter bandwagon this year. Although I've never thrown glitter up into the air, I do love this festive + sparkly trend!
ReplyDeleteGlitter is amazing! I have been wearing all my glitter shoes a lot this season. :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh wow! SO much beauty here! Love the boots.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the mention in Vanity Fair!

I've never thrown glitter in the air, but I do reserve my sparkly shoes for days where I might need a bit of cheering up!

ReplyDeleteI think you hit the nail on the head. Glitter all the way for 2011! I'm loving it too. Who doesn't like a little glam when stepping out for an evening?
ReplyDeleteDid you say glitter!? I love a little shimmer and sparkle this time a year!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope glitter never goes out of style. I'm downright obsessed with it!
ReplyDeleteI loved the boots!!
ReplyDeleteI adore those images! But then again ... I bought a pair of glitter flats (Kate Spade) maybe five years ago?? It's just fun!!
