Guest Blogger: Emily from Cupcakes & Cashmere (6 New Year Must-Haves)

I'm Emily, from Cupcakes and Cashmere, and I'm so thrilled that Jennifer invited me to write a guest post on MadeByGirl while she's away. Since 2009 is just around the corner, I've compiled a list of my six must-haves for the new year.

Seychelles - On the Wire, $104. The wooden heel on these pumps adds such an organic feel to this sexy pump.

TopShop - Sequin Swing Skirt, $110. I love this cotton candy colored skirt whose sequins add just a touch of old school glamour.

Banana Republic - Turquoise Hued Chandelier Earring, $39. I'd throw my hair up into a messy ponytail and add these sparkly stunners for an unexpected dash of color..

Rebecca Minkoff - Clutch, $330. The chain strap on this metallic clutch makes this the perfect option for a night out on the town.

Anthropologie - Long Forgotten Coat Rack, $168. I'm all about bringing natural elements from outdoors into my home.

Anthropologie - Atlantian Pitcher, $28. My goal is to get rid of all of my Ikea serving pieces and replace them with brightly colored things like this bubble-inspired pitcher.
