A little touch of sparkle turns a holiday outfit from "good" to "GLAM".  Statement necklaces are the easiest way to transform your old outfits into something new as well.  Your favorite LBD for example?  It takes on a whole new life once you add a statement piece!  Add some pretty tights, and you're ready to jingle all the way.

Not getting fancy?  Well, that statement piece also pairs perfectly with your favorite tee, or layered over a sweater.  Add some jeans, and you've got a perfectly styled ensemble.  During the holidays, there's always time to shine!

What's your favorite way to style a statement necklace?  We would love to hear!

TSS Favorite Things {December}

[Beanie][WISH Pillow][Sugar Paper][Candle][Necklace][Sweater][Curling Wand][Faux Fur Vest][Lip Balm]

Although Christmas is around the corner, there were just some items that we couldn't wait to purchase this month! Tis the season for warm clothes, holiday parties, and festive accessories for our homes. We figured, just because it's cold outside that doesn't mean our wardrobe has to suffer, so getting a cute beanie and/or faux fur vest definitely needed to make our December list. We've been invited to quite a few Ugly Sweater parties already and if you have had any trouble like us, an ugly sweater is not easy to find. But, luckily Wildfox has a selection of ugly sweaters and the best part is that they're cute enough to wear again! Our December Favorite Things list just wouldn't be complete without some fun home pieces to put us in the holiday mood. The nice holiday-scented candles from Bath & Body Works are great holiday mood-setters. As always, be sure to click through each of our favorite things and leave a comment below sharing with us your favorite things this month too!

Happy shopping!
