I was going to write all about my amazing new gray striped tray from Ikea that inspired me to write this post on CasaSugar, and is perfect for holding little knick knacks and treats like these homemade chocolate chip cookies. And then I received something much sweeter (and, may I add, much sparkly-er) than any cookies or trays . . .
An engagement ring! So excited to share with you that I’m engaged to the love of my life . . . 2011 is gonna be a great year!
My love for multicolored glitter started with Lisa Frank school supplies and stickers, and has lingered ever since. In honor of my Sagittarius birthday coming up, here’s a roundup of party ready, rainbow-sparkle-adorned gift ideas.
Confetti System party decor, Dean & DeLuca Rainbow Sanding Sugar ($6), Kate Spade Be Dazzled Bobby Pins ($65), Deborah Lippmann Nail Color ($18), Kate Spade Charm Heel ($325), Jonathan Adler Sagittarius Zodiac Pillow ($98), Anya Hindmarch Valorite Glitter Clutch ($395)

Jimmy Choo "Witty" Flat $365 - nordstrom.com
There are times when a sky-high pump or a teetering wedge are the only way to go, but my go-to staple shoes would have to be flats (and my feet thank me for that). I have a pair of J. Crew black patent ballet flats and Sam Edelman black leather cutouts that I pretty much alternate between almost every day. So when I saw these sparkly, leopard-print Jimmy Choo flats at Nordstrom, it was love at first sight. The glitter over the leopard-print immediately brought back memories of sparkly nail polish at sleepovers and Lisa Frank binders – and the 10-year-old in me is still obsessed with ridiculous combinations like glitter and leopard print. Now if only I had $365 to spend on these cuties…
