Obsession of the Day – Monogrammed Notecards from GADABOUT

If you read this blog regularly, you know that Stripes and Sequins is pretty much obsessed with anything monogrammed. Any excuse to adorn myself with my initals (they’re GCA, for the record,) I’ll take it. Cashmere sweaters? Check. Helen Ficalora Necklace? Check. L.L.

Chanel…

We all have our dream presents… here’s mine. Most (more practical) gals would select basic black, but I just love the cherry red. Nothing compliments a mostly navy & camel wardrobe like cherry red. I don’t think Chanel still makes this shade, so it would have to be vintage.

Glitter Perfection

I asked for this for Christmas and will be seriously sad if it’s not under the tree. I mean does it really get any better? A cross-body clutch that looks like it was covered in glitter glue? It needs to be mine.

Sometimes I feel like I spend half of winter with a cold. A runny nose that doesn’t stop; a perpetual tickle in the back of my throat.

Craving: Hunter Dixon Neon Pink

Let it be said: I don’t particularly care for pink. Under ordinary circumstances, that is. I have a few pink things in my closet… a pair of satin pumps, a tulip skirt, and a cashmere sweater… but I can count my pink things on one hand. It’s just too girly, too prissy, too frilly, not me. My closet is filled with basic neutrals, and when I do go for color, it’s never pink.
