New Year’s Eve…

December 31, 2014

5 Comments

The time has come for the last blog post of 2014 and I can’t believe that it has now been a year and a half since I initially began blogging! 2014 has truly been a roller coaster ride for me from a new career path to stepping up my blogging game to meeting tons of new people…2014 has pushed me outside of my comfort zone and has truly been a stepping stone leading to my soon to be empire 😉 (wishful thinking :p)In true ‘cliche‘ blogger fashion as my brother would like to say haha (my brother is quite the spit fire by the way and also writes a blog of his own ‘Pop Culture Died In 2009‘) we did a fun glitter filled photo shoot to ring in the New Year in style! It took a good 40 shots to snap the perfect pic of me blowing sequins/glitter…I don’t know how all the other bloggers do it but hey the outtakes are always funny as well 😉 I love to make a statement especially on a holiday so today’s head to toe look is pure glamour…but first…the aftermath of my sequin frenzy…sequins EVERYWHERE!These Gucci Swavorski Crystal Heels are actually available in my Poshmark closet now and are absolutely stunning! I received them as a gift over a year ago and have yet to find somewhere to wear them…so why not rock them for New Year’s Eve (just the shoot that is…no way can I ruin these babies at a club lol!)My go to party and night out bag is the Rebecca Minkoff Affair Bag available here. It is simple, chic and fits all of your essentials (the perfect NYE bag to fit roll up flats, lip gloss + more)Now to break down the rest of my party girl look. This shaggy pink coat is a piece I fell in love with the second I spotted it. I may not of had somewhere to wear it to but I knew I simply HAD to have it 😉 (available on my Poshmark here)To match the pink shaggy coat I decided a chic beaded skirt was a must. While I couldn’t find a skirt identical to mine, I found two similar options from Saks Off Fifth and Urban Outfitters here + here.I also needed a slight pop of color…so this Kate Spade necklace did just the trick:

I don’t know about you, but when it comes to holiday’s (like Christmas, Thanksgiving + New Year’s) I am occasionally a last minute planner and prepper. So if you missed it, I provided a few outfit suggestions: ‘LBD for NYE‘, ‘Top 10 Dressing Guide For NYE‘ + ‘Sparkle // Sparkle‘ but today’s post is all about all the little essentials needed for your New Year’s Eve night and morning after 😉 I got you girl! These shots are sneak peek’s of what’s to come on the blog tomorrow…let’s just say there was glitter and sequins EVERYWHERE and I had a lot of fun shooting it 🙂 Plus I finally had an excuse to wear these Gucci Swavorski Crystal Heels…where better to wear them than to ring in the New Year!| Click To Shop My Party + Morning After Essentials Below |

Sparkle // Sparkle…

Sparkle, Sparkle…it’s almost time for the biggest party of the year (and no I am not referring to NYFW or the Met Gala)…I’m talking about New Year’s Eve 2014! While I still have ~~absolutely~~ no clue about what I will be doing the night the ball drops, one thing I do have somewhat of an idea about is what I will be wearing…and it includes tons of SPARKLE!What I love about New Year’s Eve is the fact that it’s one of the few times you can wear as much glitter and sparkle as you want without anyone taking a second glance…it’s like I can be the bedazzled princess I dreamed of as a little girl without people staring stunned at what I am wearing…can you say dream come true? Well, any excuse to wear a dress and sparkly heels is fine by me 😉 I LOVE a sweetheart neckline (on a side not if and when I ever get married…mark my words, the dress will be a sweetheart design) and especially a fit and flare style like this glittery dress I found at Charlotte Russe! Nothing is better than glitz and glamour on a budget right?

If you are up for the splurge Saks, Nordstrom and Bloomingdales all carry this gorgeous Jill Stuart gold strapless dress (it is STUNNING) and can be ordered for express delivery with free shipping whenever you are ready! I don’t know about you but whenever I wear something without sleeves I always feel the need to pair it with a blazer. Whether it’s heading to dinner, the club or even just a house party, you never know when chilly air may strike and you don’t want to feel uncomfortable at a fun event. I think white is a great color for New Year’s so pair a white boyfriend blazer with a dress, a top and skirt or a top and pants is a great way to keep warm but also stay stylish.Now for the fun stuff…shoes and bag swag. My clutch is from Michael Kors…the hardware on the python clutch adds to the sparkle of the dress and the heels…plus the clutch comes with an attachable chain strap so you can wear the clutch as a shoulder bag to keep your hands free for drinks and h’orderves.My shoes make a statement all on their own. I got these Nine West glitter sandals two years ago and they have been my go to New Year’s Eve footwear ever since. They sparkle, shine and are actually comfortable! (they are currently for sale on my Poshmark here) I found similar options from Michael Antonio (here), Ivanka Trump (here) + Steve Madden (here) all on sale with quick shipping options just in time for NYE!You can’t truly shine on New Year’s without statement making bling like this Kendra Scott ring and this star necklace (simple yet chic).No stand out look is complete without a perfect red lip (my current favorite is this Elizabeth Arden lipstick…see more of my favorite Elizabeth Arden picks here). If you still need some more New Year’s Eve inspo don’t fret. I shared my ‘Top 10 Dressing Guide for NYE’ over the weekend here + a ‘LBD For NYE’ outfit idea here (PS You will LOVE the sparkletastic fun that hits the blog on New Year’s Eve…I shot it over the weekend and let’s just say glitter ended up EVERYWHERE…oops)| Click To Shop This NYE Look |

Sequins, glitter and tons of sparkle…sounds like one of my favorite Holiday’s is right around the corner…New Year’s Eve! I already began sharing some of my go to outfits for the big night (if you missed yesterday’s LBD For NYE post be sure to check it out!). The shot shown above was taken yesterday during a fun NYE shoot…and let’s just say I left my mark…sequins everywhere!

One of the reasons I love New Year’s Eve is because I get to stand out and wear fun and flirty pieces that can’t necessarily be rocked during family affairs for Christmas or Hanukkah…so I have a roundup of my top 10 favorite pieces to snag ASAP before the ball drops 😉 Hope you all have a fabulous weekend + Be sure to take advantage of all the ‘After Christmas’ Sales happening now (I definitely snagged some amazing deals yesterday…two blouses and one pair of OTK boots at Nordstrom Rack…~~Hell~~ Yea!)| Click To Shop |

LBD For NYE…

December 26, 2014

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! Mine was spent relaxing with my family, stuffing my face with delicious treats and of course…a trip to the movies (my brother and I saw ‘Big Eyes’ with the fabulous Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz…I fell in lone with Waltz’s acting after his hilarious role in ‘Inglorious Bastards’). The holiday season isn’t over just yet (I know we got the big Christmas spectacular out of the way) but now it’s time to focus on…you guessed it New Year’s and most importantly what to wear for NYE 2014!I have a few outfit ideas for the big night (don’t worry I will be sharing all of them with you amongst the next few days!) but this ‘all black’ LBD moment is a favorite of mine because it can be worn well past New Year’s Eve and is classy for any occasion (can you say Valentine’s Day date night outfit?!).I love wear faux fur in the winter and especially for the holiday season…added warmth + a chic look…nothing beats that! This vest is from Karen Kane but I found two similar options here + here (both for under $50!!)My LBD was purchased at Lord & Taylor a year ago but I found an identical version from Michael Kors on sale now at Macy’s (perfect way to spend that Christmas gift card Santa brought ya!). The fit and flare style is simple and looks great on any figure…my favorite part about this dress is the embellished collar which makes such a statement a necklace isn’t even required (although I did add a simple tear drop necklace here)Speaking of making a statement…this Louis Vuitton clutch is sure to do the trick! It’s actually considered a ‘toiletry pouch’ but I have been seeing women everywhere rocking it as a nice ‘going out’ clutch…just what NYE requires! White manicures are so chic in my opinion…every time I get one I get countless compliments and I feel it also brings more attention to the bling! On NYE I always want to shine like a star so these star bangles do the trick here, here + here. Amethyst is always my go to gemstone (it is my birthstone) so this ring makes me feel like I am engaged (dream engagement ring shape…just saying if one of you want to propose! JK) I had to go black with my shoes as well…I love these black patent leather peep toe pumps from Enzo Angiolini…they remind me of Christian Louboutins except for the price tag 😉 Hey it may have been Christmas but Santa didn’t leave any red bottoms under the tree just yet :p Not to mention, I don’t think any look is sexier on a gal than an ‘All Black’ ensemble…sometimes simplicity is key…especially for Holiday dressing 😉 | Click To Shop My NYE Look |
