The Season to Sparkle is here!

December 6, 2024 · In: Interior Design

It’s here!  It’s finally here!  The season to sparkle is upon us and I couldn’t be more excited!  

I was thinking about my Yiyia, my mom’s mom, because if there is anyone who loved glamour it was most definitely her!  She had the most beautiful vanity table filled with perfumes and lipsticks.  Her drawers were full of sparkly earrings and she had a wall of necklaces that I loved to run my hand through.  She caught me one day sitting at her vanity, touching each of the bottles and trying to sniff them.  I remember her walking in and saying, β€œoh, well hello!”  I’m sure my face must have been filled with guilt and shame but she immediately put me at ease as she assured me that I was always welcome to come in her room and touch anything I liked.  And that I could try anything on, open the bottles and spray them, and do whatever I pleased.  

When she passed away I didn’t ask for anything except her tiara.  I thought she was magical and her tiara personified her dramatic and wild personality and her flair for living.  One of the last things said before she passed was that she had so much more she wanted to do!  I vowed then that I would live with as much gusto and passion I could muster to keep her spirit alive… which required a lot since she loved to go to balls and parties and the theatre… and so much more!

But, here we are.  A season of celebration, entertaining, parties, ballets, and more… and I feel like even though we live in a world that has become so casual, it just doesn’t feel like December to me with a bit of sparkle.  Why not fill our champagne glasses (even if it’s just with brut!), take long bubble baths, wear crystal embellished dresses and embrace the sparkle and the warmth of the season?

So, here’s to bringing on the sparkle and keeping the spirit of love, celebration, and passion for living alive! xxV
