New Year’s Eve Fashion

Whether your New Year’s Eve plans include a romantic night in or an exciting night out, it’s a great excuse to wear something special.

Whether your New Year’s Eve plans include a romantic night in or an exciting night out, it’s a great excuse to wear something special.  New Year’s Eve is about looking ahead, celebrating the future, and enjoying a good party.  This is one night of the year when extra sparkle is always a good idea!  Consider a daring pop of color, accessories that take your dress to another level, or materials you don’t include in your everyday wardrobe.

You can never go wrong with the classic little black dress, while a statement piece of jewelry will make the look extra special for New Year’s Eve.  A killer pair of shoes will have the same effect.  Or, stand out from the crowd by wearing a pretty pastel shade.  A New Year’s Eve party is the perfect time to take a risk and step out of your comfort zone.

Favorite Things: Bar Carts

A bar cart is a great addition to your home furnishings.

A bar cart is a great addition to your home furnishings.  They are versatile, compact, and mobile, letting you set up the party in any room of the home — or even outdoors.   It can find a spot in unexpected places, such as a console in the entry.  Pretty decanters are one thing, but I think it’s cooler when it’s just dressed with bottles.  The upside to that is, it’s constantly changing!  The bar cart is an elegant reminder of the glamorous past, a throwback to an era of sophistication.  Here are some of my favorite examples of bar carts.  Which would you like to wheel out at your next party?
