December has arrived and I've decided to add a little extra sparkle to my life, literally.
Last week while enjoying a night at the movies with my friend and fellow fashion blogger Karen (you can find her blog here and on Instagram here), we got on to the topic of sequins. As you do.
I admitted my inner bower bird had gone a little crazy of late ordering sparkly, shiny pieces after putting together a fashion page based around sequin skirts for U on Sunday.
At last count (before my latest beauties arrived), I have 15 heavily sequined pieces in my wardrobe-and that's not counting tees with a bit of sequin detailing, or my sequin scarf.
With so many options, Karen challenged me to wear a different sequined item every day for a week, and so the #TisTheSeason style challenge was created.
I've decided to kick it off today-straight off the back of yesterday's sequin feature in U on Sunday which I've included as inspiration (you can find my previous pages here):
If skirts aren't your thing, there are also plenty of tops, kimonos, jumpsuits and even jewellery if you're looking to get your shine on.
Here are 27 sequinned pieces available in time for the festive season:Row 1: Stephanie Kaftan (one size), $565 |Midi Skirt (size 6-20), $220 | Cream/Gold Skirt (size 6-22), $71

BLONDE AMBITION ARCHIVES#tisthesequin ... I'm excited about today's @uonsunday fashion spread because it features sequins. Lots of sequins. So excited that I (with the encouragement of Karen from @styleloving2 while we were both on a sugar high) have agreed to do a week long sequin style challenge with the aim of wearing at least one sequinned piece each day. I'll be kicking things off tomorrow if you want to play along, even just one day- tag @what_brooke_wore and use #tisthesequin-and share a look featuring something sequinned item. In the meantime, make sure to pick up today's @uonsunday to check some great sequinned party-perfect pieces! ________________________________ Wearing @bonita_kaftans Stephanie Kaftan (this is the shorter version, kindly gifted) Photo by @katelukephotography ________________________________ #sequindress #sequins #merryblingmas #uonsunday #everydaystyle #bonitakaftans #sequinskirt #sparkle #festiveseason #love #colorpop #brisbaneblogger #ihavethisthingwithcolour #spotmystyle #30plusstyle #fashionover30 #spotmystyle #australianfashion #sydney #melbourne #stylechallenge #thatsdarling #ootd #loveyourself #brisbanestyle #choosejoy #teamstripes #luxe
Sorbet shades for the first day of summer. It was a steamy 40C where I was, so this shift dress, made from 100% linen, was a lifesaver. How did you spend the first day of summer? ______________________________ @alessandracashmere Olivia Dress in Petal (kindly gifted, I'm wearing a small) ______________________________ #everydaystyle #linen #pastels #colorblocking #teamstripes #love #summertime #weekendvibes #hothothot #brisbaneblogger #spotmystyle #over30style #30plusstyle #dowhatyoulove #australianfashion #girlboss #girlbossau #ootd #lmbdw #ihavethisthingwithcolor #realstreetstyle #summerstyle #fashionblogger #colorpop #firstdayofsummer #fashionaddict #styleinspo
The party was worth the hangover ... last night I headed to @howardsmithwharves to celebrate the opening of Brisbane's newest overwater restaurant and bar, @mrpercivals. I predict that I'll spend many summer nights there, although I doubt any will be as big as last night! Thank you @stace_mcgregs for being my wing woman, photographer and for getting a very drunk me home safe, sound and solo!) #playgroundplayers _______________________________ #everydaystyle #brisbane #brisbaneblogger #lmbdwbrisbane #winetime #styleatanyage #makeyousmilestyle #weekendvibes #30plusstyle #brisbaneblogger #friyay #styleblogger #outfitinspo #blonde #cocktaildress #brisbanestyle #love #fashion #sydney #melbourne #pink #party #choosejoy #girlboss
Hot fun in the summertime ... this was right when @katelukephotography and I were trying to do a serious photoshoot and @deannemayocchi happened to be driving by so she put the window down, and shouted encouragement as she went past! Very loudly! 😂 _______________________________ @review_australia Fairfield Stripe Dress (currently on sale for $139) and Peppi Mini Bag (both kindly gifted) Photo by @katelukephotography ______________________________ #teamstripes #stripes #reviewgirl #weekendvibes #holidays #whatiwore #style #fashion #everydaystyle #holidaystyle #love #9to5 #sunmerstyle #livecolorfully #rainbow #thatsdarling #vintagestyle #girlboss #styleblogger #style #outfitpost #austeacherstyle #ihavethisthingwithcolor #spotmystyle #funfashion #outfitinspo #joy #30plusstyle
I recently asked how you felt you about swimwear shopping and you didn't hold back. Let's be honest, it can be about as fun as a pap smear; you're exposed; you're vulnerable; you're questioning why you didn't take a moment to do a little 'maintenance' down below, but tell yourself it's okay because you read somewhere that the 70s are making a come back-although deep down, you know they're not. To help a sista out, I went swimwear shopping and then shared six tips on how to make it more bearable in last weekend's @uonsunday (BYO daiquiri). _________________________________ #uonsunday #fashioneditor #fashion #swimwear #togs #summertime #outfitinspo #brisbaneblogger #styleblogger #fashioneditor #everydaystyle #holidaystyle #sundaymail #editorial #love #summerstyle #ihavethisthingwithcolor #queensland #brisbanefashion #over40style #afforablefashion #30plusstyle #spotmystyle #dressfun #styleatanyage #australianfashion #ootd #realmumstyle #austeacherstyle
I don't always match my shoes to my shopping, but when I do, I make sure it's a pretty standout bag.

Just another magic Monday ... actually, I got to hang out with my mum which doesn't happen as much as it used to, so it was pretty magic. Speaking of magic, this Tank Dress is also by Aussie label @arlingtonmilne (the same brand who made my amazing gold leather mink skirt) and another one of my top pics for the party season.
