Calypso Cares!  Okay, first things first.  The holiday season means two things : 1) an uncontrollable appetite for white carbs i.e. stuffing, mashed potatoes, pie crust -- okay, I'll stop there because I'm salivating just thinking about it ; 2) and most importantly, spreading the l-o-v-e and giving back. I was recently approached by Calypso St. Barths to help them promote a charity event where they've teamed up with Covenent House to donate sweaters to children in need -- your gently worn sweaters.  So between November 13th - 17th, you can go into any Calypso St. Barths store and donate ONE (or more) sweater(s), and as a thank you, you'll receive 20% off any a Calypso sweater.  So here's an opportunity to give back and spread some love,  so make sure to mark your calendars and join in on the efforts!

Now, speaking of Calypso, let's talk about this jacket.  As much as I'm a jeans and t-shirt type of girl, I will never turn down sequins, especially if they come with an inordinate amount of tassels.  So after my SoHo cavorting and pit stop at the Lafayette store last week, I was able to shimmy around in this number over the weekend with my most worn out t-shirt and jeans, an ideal combination for me since I don't like feeling too dressed up and prefer not to look disheveled.
