Chris's/Kris's Closet (Kristin) "Christmas" December 25, 2012

Kris's Closet

Inspired by some great bloggers, my partner and I decided to start our own blog. In this blog post you will get a glimpse of pieces in my closet,learn where I found them
 and where I wore them.  

My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

 Christmas day I went to my fella's sister's house where his very large family met to celebrate the holiday. We stayed for about an hour then went to my sister's where my cute little family celebrated. I was so excited to give my mom and sister the jewelry I made them and my nephew his game. I also made some killer pasta salad with all our favorite things in it. Later my fella and I went on a hunt for Christmas lights. We found two over the top houses and also stopped to look at lights at the parks downtown. I took my closet photos at Bicentennial Park. This was my Christmas look.

 I kept my outfit simple and played with accessories to make my look festive. My grey sweater dress is from the Ohio Thrift Store. I bought it a couple weeks ago on a 50% of day. I don't think I paid more than $3.00 for it. It is very warm but also itchy. The jacket I have worn on closet posts a few times now since the beginning of December. Here is a grey sweater dress I found online on sale and my original jacket from Nordstrom following: http://www.victoriassecret.com/clothing/clear-ance/cable-sleeve-turtleneck-sweaterdress?ProductID=65055&CatalogueType=OLS&search=true

 My red sequin beret hat is from Forever 21 a couple holiday seasons ago. Here is one I found online on etsy: http://www.etsy.com/listing/83504294/custom-couture-red-sequin-toddler-adult?ref=sr_gallery_3&sref=sr_e532c2ba8716dcc4cf2a205269404b799005778d891ac3e7fdc37b851ee668bf_1356898153_14098973_red&ga_search_query=red+sequin+hat&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_search_type=all The red tear drop earrings were handmade by a man in Cincinnati. I bought them many years ago. The top silver part of the earrings are watch links. Here is a similar pair from etsy: http://www.etsy.com/listing/21078059/jewel-two-earring-drop-pairs-in-ruby-red?ref=sr_gallery_37&ga_search_query=red+tear+drop+earrings&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_page=6&ga_search_type=all The scarf is from Shoetique. It is a tie-dye red, white and green satin scarf. Check them out if you are in Columbus for your shoe and accessory needs at 3760 E Broad St. My bracelets are a mix of bought and handmade. I bought some last year when I was in Pittsburgh for New Years and the rest are part of my Vegas Collection.

I love ladybugs so I have a couple ladybug cocktail rings. The one I am wearing is by Noir. It is a designer costume jewelry brand. I apologize that there aren't any clear pictures of my ring but here is where you can get one http://www.noirjewelry.com/Rings/LadytheLadybug/515#.UOCia-RZWSo My handbag was my Christmas present from my mom. I got it before Christmas from zappos.com. It is a Michael Kors Hamilton East/West Satchel. There aren't anymore on zappos in this size but you can find it here: http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=586665002&tid=plpl000000&kwid=1&ap=7&mkwid=U4j00a&adid=Cebqhpg+Nqf

My boots are Chinese Laundry flat over-the-knee and made of leather. They are soooo comfortable. Here are some similar ones on sale online: http://www.chineselaundry.com/chineselaundry/boots/tremendous-leathe?color=cognac I love over-the-knee socks with my boots. These socks were 1.99 from Shoppers World on the west side of Columbus.

This concludes another Kris's Closet. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Kris's Closet

Inspired by some great bloggers, my partner and I decided to start our own blog. In this blog post you will get a glimpse of pieces in my closet,learn where I found them
 and where I wore them.  

My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

Saturday, we had a jewelry event at Danes Dessert Cafe in Short North, Columbus, Ohio. Christina and I premiered our new Heavy Metal Collection. We were both suppose to wear jewelry from one of the two current collections, so I based my outfit around pieces from our Vegas and Heavy Metal collections. I took my pictures at the event. This is what I wore.

Since the event was a holiday event, I decided to try to wear something that read holiday. I also had to be comfortable. The event was from 6 pm until midnight and I was going to be on my feet. So flats were a must.

My Hello Kitty tee reads Naughty or Nice? I got it many years ago from Forever 21. My black blazer is Gibson from Nordstrom. It is an equestrian style and can be found on Nordstrom's site at :

My floral denim is the Diana Skinny Jean by KUT from the Kloth at Nordstrom. Find them online at:

My  boots are the UGG Australia 'Bailey Sparkle' Over the Knee Boot. I bought them last year. They are mostly sold out. I have seen some on ebay and it appears there are still select sizes online at Nordstrom.

My earrings are from our Vegas collection. Click on the link below to go directly to them or you can find them by visiting our shop from the homepage of our blog. They are the Vegas Sparkle Pompom earrings in red. http://www.etsy.com/listing/117339220/vegas-sparkle-pompom-earrings-vegas

I am wearing a combination of bracelets. Two of them are Vegas beaded stretch bracelets and there are bolt cuff bracelets in between, on top and bottom of the Vegas bracelets. This is not the best picture. The sequin clutch is from MJR.

This concludes another Kris's Closet. Thank you so much for stopping by!
