Shiny Pretty Thing

Printed Sequined Cardigan, $199, Zara

The minute I saw this sparkly cardi, I knew it looked fabulously familiar.  Then I remembered, and only 2 initials came to mind: O.P.  That beacon of better-than-you-bitchiness Olivia Palermo whom, try as I might to resist, can't help but lurv. She's gorgeous, has a hot hot hot German boyfriend and a closet I would kill for. And somehow, she always knows exactly how to expertly pull together an outfit, making everyone else in the room look lacking.  Grrr.

This Zara cardi is perfect year-round but especially essential this season when you can amp up the glitter to keep up with the rest of the holiday sparkle.  Wear it like a blazer over your dresses and tailored separates or go downtown..err...make that uptown...over distressed denim à la O.P.
