A Little Sparkle

I am definitely a fan of sparkly things, and my latest obsession has been the Lulu Frost shoe clips at J. Crew. I have a few pairs of plain leather (and patent leather) ballet flats that I love, but I don't get too excited about wearing them and I think what they are missing is some sparkle! Unfortunately, the Lulu Frost versions are pretty expensive so I have also been perusing Etsy for some cheaper alternatives. I've found a few possible contenders, but you can definitely tell even in the pictures the difference in quality. I've never owned a piece of Lulu Frost jewelry, but I may be joining the rank of fans soon. It seems like my options would be to buy a few different sets from Etsy that I sort of like or one that I really love from Lulu Frost. I imagine it's pretty obvious which way I am leaning on this one.

In other news, another season of Downton Abbey has come to an end and I am missing it already. They really need to make more episodes per season, I'm not ready to say goodbye for another year! After last season's dramatic ending, I wasn't sure I could ever enjoy the show again - and it even took a few episodes into this year's season for me to accept that Matthew was gone, sob! Even after accepting that part, I didn't think I would be interested in a new love interest for Mary, but I have to say that now I am ready for it - and I am on Team Gillingham. From what I've read it seems like I may be in the minority, but I just have a better feeling about him even though he was pretty quick to declare his love for Mary! I have a feeling it may not end well for him, but I am rooting for Tony! We shall see next season - this will be a long year!
