and a Happy New Year....

 
 








Dress: Adrianna Papell | Leather Jacket: Dallin Chase | Booties: L.A.M.B.
Jewelry: Light Years NC | Lipstick: Nars Velvet Matte Train Bleu
GET THE LOOK

I decided to go with this brown, silver and gold sequin number I picked up a Loehmanns a few years back. Come to think of it..everything I'm wearing is from Loehann's from the Jacket to the Booties! I also wore this dress during FNO! I guess for New Years I'm all about sequins...like this green sequin number I wore last New Years.
 
Have a great and safe New Years Everyone!

A very SEQUIN New Years

So last night was the "Sequins and Southern Hospitality" party that my friends and I threw.
It was a hit. I had such a great time. I did the stanky leg, I dropped it low and did some form of the electric slide all while eating a cookie and drinking a glass (or two or four) of moscato.
It's a dream I didn't wake up today with a huge headache!
Well its 2012 and it's a gorgeous day in NYC.
I'm going to cook myself a New Years dinner tonight and get to work on my inspiration board.
But guess what????? All I can think about is that Fashion Week is a month and a half away!












Outfit
Dress: Aidan Mattox via Saks
Shoes: YSL Opyum via Saks see them worn differently HERE
Earrings: H&M a fashion STEELE at $6
Bag: Forever 21

The dress and heels both were bought with the $2000 gift certificate I won during the
Saks and Stylelist Competition.
I got so many compliments on this dress. I love it so much. It is my favorite color too! I think I will get a lot of mileage out of this sequin stunner.
I hope everyone had a ROCKIN NEW YEARS EVE!
I know I did! I actually wore these same earrings last New Years Eve.
Check out my YouTube channel to see a quick video of the outfit in motion!

What did you all do for New Years?

WHAT TO WEAR FOR THE HOLIDAYS

yes its super annoying that as i stroll through popular stores they are already putting up
Christmas decorations and already have Mariah Carey's Christmas album in HEAVY rotation.
Don't get me wrong I love the holidays but DAMN
give us a minute...it's not even Thanksgiving yet!

With all that said with Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up there are bound to be parties to attend whether it be a Thanksgiving celebration with the family, the company Christmas party, or New Years Eve.
Here are a few tips on holiday attire.
Thanksgiving




On Thanksgiving you want to look polished but be comfortable especially if you are meeting the In Laws or the boyfriends family. You also want a built-in elastic waist or something without a waist at all. You will be eating so jeans are OUT!
 There should be nothing tightly sucking you in. Also if you are anything like me you make many visits to many different homes to eat copious amounts of food.
 Keep in mind if someone is cooking their house is probably going to be pretty hot so I NEVER wear chucky clothing or sweaters on Thanksgiving.
Company Holiday Party



The company holiday or office party can be daunting. There are probably some people you hate, some people you like and someone that you want to make sure they know how great you look "outside" of your work attire
(whether that be a hot guy or that b**** thats always in your business).
Then you have to act accordingly around your boss while socially consuming alchohol.
Here's a tip...less is definitely more.
Go ahead and put on your tallest skinniest heel, there is rarely dancing at the office holiday party.
Christmas



At Christmas you definitely want to be comfortable but have an air of wonder and embellishment in your outfit. During Christmas there is often a meal (so the same tips for Thanksgiving) and you will need a huge purse to hold all those gifts! A wedge is great because you will be running round all day giving and receiving gifts.
New Years



New Years can go a lot of different ways. Some are Black Tie, some are business casual, some are come however the hell you please. It really just depends. But when it comes to shoes...
CHOOSE COMFORT!
a thick wedge, thick heel or boot will save you from being THAT GIRL who walks around barefoot at the end of the night. so gross.
Voila!
Your holiday outfits served in a fresh blog post.
