It would not be New Year’s Eve without sequins and sparkles. Over the last decade the holiday season has truly become the “glitter season.” Last year I rung in 2015 in a metallic peplum top, but this year is officially a dress year. A bodycon midi is the perfect balance if comfort is a priority. The hip hugging silhouette shows off your curves, while the below the knee length keeps things classy. This glittery dress from Ambiance is classic with a twist, thanks to the mesh back and side paneling. When styling a statement piece, you do not want to over do it with accessories. That is why I paired this dazzler with matching t-strap sandals. To accentuate the gold and silver print, I stacked up some pewter bracelets, put on rhinestone earrings, and rocked a pair of gold 2016 glasses.

I hope you have some fun plans Thursday night. I am trying Rich Table for for the first time. Although I am not totally sure of the attire, fancy is always better in my book! I’ll let you know how it goes. Happy New Year!

Half the fun is in the glass! Is it just me, or do you agree that your adult beverage tastes better when you drink it out of pretty drink ware?! If we are on the same wavelength, hear me out. Sip in style with the Ambrose Champagne Flutes from the one and only Anthropologie. If you’re afraid of breakage, check out this durable plastic version from Target.

What fun is a house party without a sweet treat or two, or three if you’re me?! Sweeten up your soirée with chocolate covered pretzels. You already saw how easy it was to whip up a batch a couple of weeks ago, so here is your chance to wow your guests this holiday. Swap out the blue for white and gold sprinkles. Serve buffet style or hand out as party favors at the end of the night.

 
Consider it a sin to dance your way into 2016 without a party hat, foil horn, or crown. If you’re throwing the party, it is your responsibility to stock up on such items! Great news if you live in San Francisco, Jest Jewels has your back. Check out these glitter 2016 glasses. They’ll look great with an all black ensemble, but I’ll get to that tomorrow! Stay tuned…
