 I am loving every single piece over at DB/CB Debra Baxter: Crystal Bomb - they are so unique! It's too hard to choose a favorite, but I'll go ahead and put them all on my pretend fantasy Christmas wish list :)

Take A Bow

What better way to get into the holiday spirit than to wrap yourself up in a bow?

A good idea: limit yourself to one bow at a time to keep from looking like a giant baby doll. 

A better idea: pair it with leather to balance out the frills.
