Style Guide: New Year's Eve

This will be a very low-key New Year's Eve.  With a 4 month old, I'm sure my most exciting thing will be having a glass of champagne with my husband after she's gone to bed, but still, I love thinking of what I WOULD be wearing if I was going to head out.

 

That skirt!  The best time to bring out your sparkles is New Year's eve right?

This blazer and leather pants look is so chic and stylish.  Love the look paired with our best selling wing earrings (they come in champagne now too!) and amazing glitter platform shoes.

A hot pink dress is always right up my alley!  Of course you'll need a jacket because it'll be cold but what better way to top off your little pink dress than with a sequin blazer?  I tend to bring out the glam on NYE so the statement earrings are perfect for the occasion along with a pretty turquoise on your nails.

I love a good conversation starter, so to kick off another theme week (yay, Christmas!), I thought it would be fun to feature this battle-scene dress as a holiday option.... because why wouldn't you sport violent scenes from antiquity on Christmas? My thoughts exactly. So should you find yourself at a holiday fete where you don't know anyone, a dress like this should help break the ice. And if that doesn't work, just ask people what their favourite herb is — it works every. single. time. xx

What to wear: Holiday Party Looks

I'm sure we've all been to a few holiday parties already but I still have a few more on the way and thought I'd share a few of my favorite holiday party looks!

Aren't these sequin pants to die for?  I love them!  And it's nice to be dressy without always wearing a dress.  Pair it with my favorite black pumps and my brooch necklace and I'm set!

A tulle skirt is always great for the holiday season!  Paired with a pretty camisole and cropped blazer, it's the perfect combo for a dinner party with your best friends!  Don't forget the pink lips for the perfect holiday pout :)

And sometimes all you need is a little white dress.  Add some bling with your accessories and amazing gold pumps (under $100!) for an easy to pull together but look fabulous in minutes look.

{Homemade Holiday} Rosette Ring DIY

In the spirit of last week's animal ring holder, I thought I would put together an simple gift idea to accompany it — et voila! The rosette ring was born. It's the perfect little add-on to give a girlfriend or pop into a stocking, and it even functions as a last-minute gift if you're in a pinch (oh who am I kidding, when you're in a pinch). So if you want to make a rosette ring of your own, here's what you'll need:

Supplies:

 - Adjustable rings (available at any craft or jewelry supply store)

 - Rosette cabochons (mine are vintage, but there are lots to choose from on Etsy!)

 - Jewelry glue

Glue your cabochons to the base of the ring, pressing down firmly to adhere. After about an hour of dry time, you've got yourself a simple, yet oh-so cute gift to brighten up someone's holiday season... It's as easy as that!   Box up your rings with a pretty gift tag to add some oomph, then just stand back and humbly admire your gift-making prowess — you've earned it. xx
