A Season to Sparkle! 11 Sequined Finds For Shiny Little People

What is it about little girls and sequins and glitter?

What is it about little girls and sequins and glitter? My 20-month-old is already refusing to wear any outfit that doesn't include at least one "sparkly" thing, effectively eradicating my efforts at style minimalism. Whether you're a year-round sparkle lover like my daughter or not, if there's one time of year when major bling is totally appropriate, it's the holiday season. So start stocking up on these 11 sequin-studded finds now, and she'll be ready to shine during all those parties, shopping excursions, and trips to see Santa. But beware: once she puts on Stride Rite's Safi boots or J.Crew's cupcake dress, it's pretty much guaranteed she won't want to wear anything else.

Coutorture Community Must Reads 9/22

After a two week hiatus thanks to New York and London Fashion Week Coutorture's community must reads are back with a fresh dose of blogger joy.

We entirely support Bag Bliss's love of Pringle's Kasia tote bag. We have Pringle on the mind what with their new collaboration with Sigerson Morrison and all. Shoewawa also has the scoop on that collaboration.

Style Eyes notes that nudes and oranges are combining quite a bit on the catwalk this Spring 2009 season. She also hopes that by saying "nude" she doesn't get any upsetting Google traffic. We think you are safe hon!

Temptalia has Chanel's Holiday 2008 collection with lots of images and product descriptions for those obsessed with all things double C.

SheFinds solves the dreaded pairing black and brown collection. We say hey didn't we already do that at Lord and Taylor this week? Ohh wait, that was for guys!

Little Molly Cakes asks how do we feel about sequined shorts. She feels good. We feel bad.
