Glitterati

As far as I'm concerned, a girl can never have too much sparkle in her life. When I saw Shopbop.com had their Glitterati suggestions for the 2010-2011 party season, I knew I had to put together some glitzy inspiration of my own!

Oscar De La Renta Sequin embroidered dress, 5,355 GBP



I am kind of obsessed with these Giuseppe Zanotti beauties:

Expect more sparkly sensations to come! Here is a little retro inspired remix of Sam Sparro's "Black and Gold" to daydream about glitter filled winter nights to. Cue disco ball...

Baby Doll - Devo

Anyone that knows me personally can attest to the significant role that music plays in my life. Many of the memories in my life are tied to a song in some way, whether the song was actually playing at the time of the memory, or a song simply makes me think of a certain event in my life. One of my earliest childhood memories that I am pretty sure I have not fabricated, is listening to my dad's Total Devo CD in his home office.

Much to my chagrin, I was not able to find a CD quality version of the first song from this album online. I was, however, able to find a so-so copy of a live performance of the first track of this underrated album I most likely enjoyed because of the giant smiley face and bright colors on the cd cover:

Let's be real, I was a small child and that's probably what attracted me in the first place.

One more thing- this performance has some interesting gestures during the performance- just wanted to give a heads up! So without further ado, I give you Devo's "Baby Doll":
