You may have noticed that I've dispensed with the Something New and Sparkly tagline (because let's be honest, these days I'm always writing about something new and sparkly).  Even so, it's glitz that radiates from the root of this post (and why not, with this Queen for a Day Necklace).  Because if there's one consolation for the cool-down of summer's hot hues, then it's the celebratory burst of pre-holiday sparkle.    

This morning when I photographed the mustard jeans outfit, I thought I'd struck gold.  But then a stop at Macy's led me to this jauntily jewel-toned dress.  A pair of striped tights and one be-bowed belt later, and the condiment-inspired jeans had a run for their money.

It's little indulgences such as these that make me feel like queen for a day :)
