I'm deep into the holiday joy! This Hannuka was a bit dull as there was not a latke, menorah, or dreidel in sight-- so I take out my vengeance on accessorizing-- dressing my head, shoulders, knees and toes with such sparkle and delight, that any Christmas tree in town would be envious of my personal spirit.
But, with New York's freezing weather, it's tough to keep the baubles fresh. I wake up to a chill in my painted-black bedroom and picture how to get blingin' for the day when I have to put on my 2-inch cashmere insulation man-repelling blanket, a sweater.

I layer dainty Brazil-inspired anklets adorned with vintage shells, glass, rubies, spinels and tassels, handmade by the ultimate blonde ambition, Sasha Samuel. In no time, the elshane Christmas tree is up and running...and so I went... jingling all the way...
