Your grandmother's brooches...



I love brooches in general but I have always really loved slightly old-fashioned style Christmas pins. They remind me of the kind you might see on your grandmothers best coat...the one she wore once a year to midnight mass. You can probably only get away with them this time of year, but they are so festive and such a lovely way to make any outfit more Chrstimas-y (and no, you don't have to get one of those hideous sweaters :)

  4. What the hell is with the holiday sweaters? No matter how much people make fun of them, there are always these yo-yo's who wear them. I don't get it. There are so many better ways to be festive. Why look like a walking Christmas tree?
