New Year's Eve Outfit Lookbook



Femme

She moves through the party as shimmering ray of light. Her chandelier earrings toss glints as she laughs. Delicate gold heels on her feet. Champagne flute lifted to her lips, eyes flick down the smoky plum color surrounding her flashing eye. Entrancing him.  

Backless Gold Jersey Dress | BCBG | Thrifted
Gold Heels |  | Thrifted
Gold & Moonstone Chandelier Earrings | Gift

Velvet

She is part of the night around her. Draped in midnight velvet that flashes with glittering stars. She arrives alone and is powerful enough to understand the strength in that. Her laughter is as smoky as the whiskey she drinks. Captivating a crowd is all is a nights work for her.


Black Velvet Sheath Dress with Sequins | Betsy Johnson | Thrifted
Nude Heels | Brian Atwood | T.J. Maxx
Gold & Moonstone Chandelier Earrings | Gift

Sparkle

She is the popular girl. She knows everyone and everyone knows her. Her clothes are as sparkling as her wit and charm. On the dance floor all night she stands out from the crowd in her tee shirt and boots. At midnight her tee shirt is a cheeky reminder. Her skirt flares and glitters as she spins, the lights radiate from and around her.

Kiss Tee Shirt | Abercrombie and Fitch
Thigh High Boots | BEBE | Thrifted
Diamond Studs | Gift

Starlet

She is on the hunt. Love, fame and wealth are a drumbeat in her head. She moves through the party as a lioness through the Savannah. Her body-con dress and sky high heels are her weapons. Her smoky eyes and nude lip her camouflage. 

Body Con Blue Dress with Black Graphic Lines | Arden B | Thrifted
Black Heels | Guess | Marshalls
Tiffany Bar Necklace | Gift
Silver Hoop Earrings | T. J. Maxx

Burlesque

She is the life of the party. Laughter bubbles out of her like champagne from a bottle. Her head is always dreaming of times past. Shorts suit her because you never know what she'll do. Either throwing a football in the snow or doing the jive, she'll be covered. From her style to her smile she is one of a kind.

December Favorites + What Happened in the Month



What happened. 



My favorite look of this month was black moto-inspired boots, my black motorcycle jacket, red lips, a taupe eye with a cat flick and fluttery lashes, silver rings, and lots of curls.

I loved curling up in my room with all my lights aglow reading a book or watching a movie just sipping tea.

I practiced my knitting and did some more advanced yoga poses - hello Dolphin pose!

I traveled a lot, did my job and went to business meetings, hung out with friends and watched Sharknado :P

Discovered what coffees to avoid ordering. Tweeted and instagramed. #commonwhitegirl

Obsessively watched Nikki Phillippi's Vlogmas videos and Christine from Pinksofoxy.

I lit so many candles I increased the temperature of my room.

I did Christmas hard core - all the shopping, decorating, gift wrapping, baking, card writing, and song listening.

I lost a loved one and stood up for myself.

I made some first steps to actual adulthood.

I had a birthday.

I celebrated Christmas with my loved ones.

I bought my first MAC eyeshadow (s).

I didn't give up and I'm still pushing myself. 

What happened in your month?
