It is hard to go the holiday season sharing favorite things that shine without talking about favorite bling.  Last year I bought the bracelet pictured above for my fashion-forward sister.  I loved it so much, I finally went back to Ann Taylor and got one for myself (using a 40% off coupon).

You know a gift is good when you love it so much you end up purchasing one for yourself.

There is only so much you can say about a bracelet that leaves me speechless.

It's shiny.

It looks great with you best holiday party outfit.

My hairdresser has the same bracelet and hers looked great paired with a simple pair of jeans and shirt.

It's shiny.

It will be just as perfect for ringing in the new year.

It's shiny.

It can be yours.

Just visit us in the Community Forum labeled, Today's Post and tell us all about a holiday gift you have given, and loved so much, that you had to buy one for yourself.  If I judge your item to be the one I would also most like to receive then our taste must be similar.  You will win the bracelet.  Tune back into the Community Forum around 10:00 p.m. and see the name of our lucky winner.

NOTE: If you really shine, you won't keep this to yourself.  You will call, email, text, facebook, and twitter your closest hundred friends and tell them how to get in on the holiday fun.

Shining off until tomorrow...
