Posh. Bracelets: My Great-Grandmother's, Grandmother-in-law's, Grandmother's, Stella & Dot. Rings: Tiffany, Diamonds Direct.

I'm not exactly sure where my Grandmother got this skirt, but I know it came from some far off country during her world travels with my Grandfather.  Some of the coolest things she owns she purchased during her travels, and I was always so fascinated by the garments.  You could just tell they were made different from all the rest.  This skirt is no exception.  It has always been one of my favorite inheritance pieces from her; definitely a top pick for my holiday go-to attire. Do you have any favorite holiday pieces?

I hope you and yours have the happiest of holidays and a very Merry Christmas!
Let there be love, let there be light!

  6. love the skirt! I never saw it before. I pulled out the gold sequin jacket a little while ago, but couldn't quite pull it together. We've got to get together and collaborate and channel Martha! Aunt Lee.
