‘Tis indeed is the season to wear everything bling bling, from encrusted little clutches to a seriously sparkling accessories to high wattage dresses to statement making big jewelleries. It’s that time of the year again where the holiday cheer is everywhere and the party invitations are endless. For some, this the time to break out the new (or the old!) sequined dresses and bejewelled tops but for others, these options may be a little too out of the box for their “traditionally corporate or conservative” office.
December is definitely our favourite month (next to April but let’s save that for another post) of the year!The Christmas trees, the bright lights, the presents (oh the holiday shopping!), the parties and the plenty of opportunities to spend time with friends and family truly make this a magical season hence, here at Twenty York Street, we will be scouring Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. to ask the experts on various holiday topics and we will be publishing our definitive and super exciting @20YS HOLIDAY GUIDE 2013!
