Happy Year of the Tiger!

AT HOME
AT A PARTY
No matter if you choose to celebrate at home with your kids or reserve a room at the Hard Rock Hotel! Make sure you get some glam this New Year's eve and put a huge smile on your face.
  • If you're celabrating at home: Decorate your house, set up a nice table, get your little black dress on and accessorize! It can be as simple as a potluck, but make sure that the food gets served  in a festive way for your guests.
  • If you're celebrating at a party outside: Glam it up! Sparkle and shine with great make up and great fitting and tasteful cocktail clothes. Drink in moderation and sustain your energy through the party so you could enjoy it all.

New Years Resolutions

My traditional new years resolution is no secret to those around me! I hope this year is the last year I have to set it as a goal as I really want to get done with my PhD thesis. The Jessica Elliot necklaces below pretty much sum up the rest. What are your new year's resolutions?

What is your holiday style?

Happy Holidays and New Year to all of you out there! I'm enjoying a two week long stay-cation during the holidays and choose to dress up only for special dinners and parties. The rest of the time, I'm out and about walking to the coffee shop or going to the the playground with my son. I wish like was like this all the time and we got to eat chocolates and enjoy downtown with our families. I ended up having a uniform of a white puffer vest, jeans or full skirts, chunky scarfs, knit tops, converse shoes and my favorite old snowflake pin.... here is my holiday capsule easy and practical.

White Elephant Holiday Party

Even if it is a white elephant party, it is still a special occasion. In order are a little bit of sparkle or silk or lace or a string of pearls. I generally use an item to dress down the dressy items like jeans, rugged boots or more casual fabrics. Here are examples to my favorite white elephant party looks.
