15 Festive Finds for New Year’s Eve

December 22, 2021 by jessica Leave a Comment

If you haven’t ordered gifts by now, they’re not coming in time for Christmas, so let’s turn our attention to the most sparkly night of the year: New Year’s Eve. We finally get to say sayonara to the letdown that 2021 turned out to be! And, hey, I get it if we’re collectively traumatized by the last two years and unwilling to get too excited to ring in 2022 lest we jinx it, but it can’t hurt to set the new year off on the right foot! Here are 15 festive finds to celebrate the dawn of a new year:

  1. A sparkly tweed bag.
  2. This is the dress I bought for NYE.
  3. A dreamy light pink organza dress
  4. Vintage glasses with silver rims. I love this set!
  5. If card games are your thing, up the ante with a metallic set.
  6. An ice bucket is a must. Do you prefer marble and brass or wood grain?
  7. A swipe of shimmery eyeshadow.
  8. A metallic bow frame clutch that comes in a rich emerald green.
  9. Serve dessert in these darling coupes. I’m torn between the peach and blue options.
  10. Keeping it casual? Top it off with a knit beanie topped with a sequin pom-pom.
  11. Eye-catching earrings. (These are also stunning and more budget-friendly.)
  12. Sequin shirts can veer into going-out-top territory quickly. This one is elegant, however.
  13. Fancy flats. (Plus more options!)
  14. A resin and crystal bracelet that’s worth the splurge.
  15. If you’re leaving the house, this one is for you: a cozy faux fur coat to keep warm in the cold.

Four NYE Outfits for Any Situation

December 31, 2014 by jessica 7 Comments

It’s New Year’s Eve and do you know where your outfit is? If you’re like me, it’s probably at the mall. I barely knew what I was going to wear on Christmas Day. Planning something for a week later was laughable. No matter how you’re celebrating, I hope you have a wonderful evening and a happy and healthy new year. Thanks for following along and here’s to a stylish 2015!

Whether you’re tired of the holiday hoopla or just want to use real crystal stemware, staying at home is a heck of a way to ring in 2015…even if it’s when your alarm finally wakes you up the next morning. Cozy up in an oversize menswear night shirt (with a lacy little bralette and matching thong underneath–you’re lazy, not dead) and channel surf right over to Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New  Year’s Eve with Ryan Seacrest. Nodding off? Treat yourself to a sparkly mani. The fear of smudging freshly applied polish should be enough to keep you up well past your bedtime.

What better place to go overboard on champagne and eat an embarrassingly large portion of the cheese plate than with the comfort of friends? This is where you can let loose, play Cards Against Humanity, and admit to which card makes you giggle uncontrollably. These people accept those character flaws. Put a little effort in with a full satin skirt, bright lipstick, and a sweater that describes just how good you feel after all that Sofia. The sweater is a must. You’ll probably be crashing here later and will appreciate the comfort.

Leave those intricate spangly ensembles (and astronomical dry cleaning bills) to the amateurs. After years of elbowing your way to the front of the line, you know just one thing will get you through this New Year’s Eve battleground, wardrobe unscathed: black, machine-washable clothing. A wayward vodka cranberry came tumbling toward you? No worries. Just dab it off with a bar rag and keep dancing! Better yet, when you’re shoulder-to-shoulder by the bar, no one will notice that you’re just wearing a black sweater, your favorite black pants, and a pair of sensible flats. Just be sure to don an incredible piece of statement jewelry so you look a little less like a burglar (and perhaps more like an experienced jewel thief…).

If you’re headed to one of these shindigs, I understand your trepidation. Will others be friendly? Will your boyfriend act differently? What weird things will you learn about him? All of these unknowns come with one major upside: you can make a memorable first impression. Opt for a jewel-tone dress (quite possibly as red as the Solo cup you’ll be drinking out of), sparkly shoes, and a Happy New Year hat–the night’s must-have accessory.

Cocktail Countdown

December 28, 2012 by jessica Leave a Comment

Ring in the new year with a cocktail countdown! Five drinks in one night might be a little ambitious. I’d rather start with one today and work through the list one day at a time, ending on New Year’s Day. It’s a festive way to celebrate without the risk of detox.

5. Rosemary Gin Fizz – A sparkly drink that takes minutes to make and packs a punch

4. In the Pink – A blend of grapefruit, pomegranate and a generous splash of vodka (make this one ahead of time and keep it in a pitcher)

3. Bakewell Sour – A cherry-laden dessert drink

2. Bittersweet Negroni – A kumquat garnish adds an unexpected twist to a classic concoction

1. Cans of Sofia – If you make it this far, you’ll appreciate the ease of opening a can of bubbly

Cheers!

Over the weekend, we drove to Michigan and welcome Over the weekend, we drove to Michigan and welcomed this little lady to the family! She’s a two-year old snow Bengal that was surrendered after being bullied by the other cats in her home. We’re pretty sure she’s a seal lynx point Bengal, which has Siamese in the lineage, based on her vibrant, slightly crossed blue eyes. She is the sweetest, softest, most playful, and unbelievably talkative little girl. We’re crazy about her! 

We haven’t picked a name just yet, though. We have some ideas, but we’re waiting to get to know her personality more. 😊
