Razzle, Dazzle, Glitter and Shimmer!
The holidays are officially in full swing, whether it’s the holiday get togethers, activities and of course the holiday shopping! Here are a few items that will help you add some Razzle, Dazzle, Glitter and Shimmer to every element of the holiday season! Whether you need these for yourself or you’d like to share- It’s a one for me, one for you type of list this time around!
Happy Holidays- be good to yourself, you deserve it! These are definitely on my Holiday Wish List!
Razzle!
I’m not sure about you but I’m always on the run over the holidays- whether I want to be or not. You want to look good but you may also crave some cozi-ness throughout the festivities!
Whether you’re out and about running errands, leaving the work day after office drinks, decorating the Christmas cookies with the munchkins, stopping by holiday invites or just Netflix and chilling with your partner I have found the most PERFECT pair of jeans from Get Dressed in North Vancouver. It’s no wonder that everyone is obsessed with the Hustler Ankle Fray Encounter At Night jeans from the Mother brand. Just the name says enough! It’s a crop leg and high rise with the best stretch. I didn’t want to take them off. They felt as though they were made for me. Perfect to pair with a classic white tee, a cropped sweatshirt, a sequinned tank or a ruffled sweater or blouse.
If you’re needing a new pair of denim, Get Dressed had a fabulous selection with super legit brands that will LAST! Your new denim from Get Dressed will be the perfect way to Razzle all those around you. Major disclaimer- you’ll probably be leaving with more than just a pair of denim- I fell in love with too many pieces there! Fun facts about Get Dressed: woman owned, woman run, owner Erica Hughes is a mom who’s main goal is make sure you leave feeling fabulous! Also- shopping and supporting local is always a major feel good!

Shimmer! Empress 1908 Gin
It’s the perfect jewel in a glass! The perfect shimmer in a holiday drink! And the perfect gift to give! Empress 1908 Gin will give you an extraordinary cocktail experience. Created by Victoria Distillers, Empress 1908 Gin was inspired by the renowned afternoon tea at the iconic Empress Hotel in Victoria, on Vancouver Island. I definitely have a soft spot for Empress Gin since I’m from the island and I love gin and I love beautiful things! It’s an award-winning gin which is micro-distilled in small batch copper-pot stills and hand-crafted using a combination of traditional and contemporary botanicals, plus Empress Gin is infused with Empress Tea Blend and butterfly pea flower to create a one of a kind cocktail experience.
The Butterfly Pea Flower provides a warm, soft earthiness and of course, the gin’s distinct indigo hue.
The color is pure beauty- and my favourite has been to add some rosemary to the glass or a slice of fresh grapefruit- delish!! This unique gin leaves you with a mellow spice and unique herbal taste reminiscent of the classics - with a modern twist. Empress Gin evokes creativity and transforms the simplest of cocktails to an extraordinary experience.
