Gap Cardigan, Karina Grimaldi Jumper, H&M Tights, Prada Heels, Martin + Osa, Wren and Anthropologie Necklaces, Essie: Mint Candy Apple

After I got back from dinner late last night, I decided it was the perfect time to fish our ornaments out from storage and decorate our tree.  Unfortunately, minutes after hanging the last of our glittery snowflakes and mirrored balls, my cat shimmied up the tree and promptly knocked them to the ground.  For this first year with Luna, we’ll have to make do with just the lit tree and a few other decorations around the apartment.

Psst…Today on Lucky, I show how you can buy one key piece for the holidays and wear it a bunch of different ways.  Check it out here!

Girlfriend, that nailpolish and those shoes are h.o.t.! My tree fell a few years back while I was sleeping - all the noise made me think I was getting robbed, but fortunately it was just the dang cat.

2 Decadent Luxe { 12.10.09 at 1:19 am }

I adore your nail polish. It’s nearly impossible to have a tree with a mischievous kitty frolicking about.

Waking up (Europe, 9.27 a.m) to find a new post on your website is one of my guilty pleasures. Thanks, Emily.

Are you wearing Essie’s mint candy apple? It looks really good on your skin tone! By the way, I love your rug. :)

Very cute outfit! Sorry about your tree. Cats have a way of doing that - luckily mine has yet to ruin a tree.

that gap cardi + prada heels are too amazing for words.
perfection for the lighting of the christmas tree ! ! !

So cute… you and Jane (SOS) have the same shoes! And I’m partial to how you’re wearing them, but don’t tell her I said that…

24 Sally { 12.10.09 at 7:18 am }

Cats and Christmas trees definitely do NOT mix … and I’m so glad those Pradas are getting worn already. Gorgeous.

25 Stephanie { 12.10.09 at 7:26 am }

I was just reading earlier this week at Young House Love that supposedly citrus will discourage cats from climbing trees. Might be something to think about.

Here is the link to the article:

I love the shoes, tried so hard to get them, but settled on a Yves St Laurent pair instead! Wish I could of had both!

30 Vivian { 12.10.09 at 8:16 am }

So I’m kinda really diggin those shoes on you and trying so hard not to jump over to the Barneys site and scoop up some for myself too. Eek (Repeat: Xmas is to give to others…)

We just put up our first tree together last night too and I broke a glass ornament. Had to keep shooing the our chihuahua away so I could clean up. Great post and pics!

31 Amanda Lalique { 12.10.09 at 8:30 am }

33 fashionispoison { 12.10.09 at 8:48 am }

Aww I remember when I had a cat and he did the SAME thing!

I can’t believe your cardi is from GAP! Outfit is beautiful and shoes are perfect <3

34 Jacqueline { 12.10.09 at 9:17 am }

35 Orchid Grey { 12.10.09 at 9:18 am }

great post! beautiful shots- I’m dying over that sweater! We have cats too, and I’m scared about what would happen if we had a tree. Disaster, most likely! Maybe we’ll get a wreath or something.

36 Alicia { 12.10.09 at 9:18 am }

Love the nails!

50 Stacey { 12.10.09 at 11:29 am }

I learned that lesson years ago when my brother and I were kids. He brought home a cat right around Christmas. While we were decorating the tree the cat went under the tree and started climbing it, lol. We were in stitches. It was too funny. After that the cat was relegated to the basement for the rest of the holidays.

51 Marta { 12.10.09 at 11:52 am }

shining star you are!
have a lovely holidays

52 Rachel (heart of light) { 12.10.09 at 11:59 am }

71 Michelle (PinQue) { 12.10.09 at 9:47 pm }

Gorgeous photos? I have heard that baking orange slices and haging them on the tree like ornaments deters curious little kitties from bringing down the tree :)

72 Lauren { 12.10.09 at 10:31 pm }

I love, love, love that sweater!! Is it from Gap this season??

73 Treacle { 12.11.09 at 12:52 am }

I covet that nail polish. I should just suck it up and buy it.

77 Crys { 12.11.09 at 9:47 am }

Emily, I just discovered your blog after checking out this month’s Lucky. I became instantly obsessed. I’ve been so consumed with law school finals lately that unfortunately my true love in life, fashion, has taken a back seat. Reading your blog and seeing the gorgeous photos of you in impecable outfits completely brightened my day. I’m hooked!

78 Carole { 12.11.09 at 11:48 am }

I had a cat years ago and she would climb the tree every single day and knock it flat. I got a tabletop tree the next year and she left that alone for some reason.

Who take the lovely photos of you?

79 Caroline { 12.11.09 at 12:29 pm }

LOVE the cardigan but can’t find it on the Gap’s website - does anyone else see it?

80 TheBeautyFile { 12.11.09 at 1:16 pm }

Oh those shoes look AMAZING on you! I knew they would…I love this look….it’s totally perfect…I have been living for your lucky posts…I totally forgot my password so I can’t comment, but LOVE!

88 Jenny Duncan { 12.17.09 at 1:32 pm }

I am so lusting after these shoes. I tried them on at Saks several weeks ago and am so sad that out of my budget. I love getting to see someone wearing them and loving them!!
