American Hustle

This dress makes me feel some type of way. A few ways really… like a sexy Christmas mermaid and Jennifer Lawrence in American Hustle at the same time. Makes sense, right? If you can’t muster up the courage to wear this dress to a simple Christmas party (not many of my family holiday parties are that fancy) it’s a killer friggen dress for a New Years celebration.

I do have to mention that this coat is amazing. It’s cozy and comfortable and while it’s a long faux fur coat the hood gives it somewhat of a casual vibe. Basically you can pair it with a fancy ass sequin dress or jeans and a white tee and it would look just as great.

So do you love this dress or what? It makes me want to step up my classy game, that’s for sure. I think this would make an amazing outfit for a New Years Eve celebration, no matter where you’re planning to spend it. Oh! And side note… my new favorite color this season is Burgundy! When pulling looks for these posts every single thing I grabbed was either black or burgundy. Not on purpose, but I do love the way they all look together. :] I’m sure you’ve figured that out by now, haha!

NYE Look Book: Sparkle & Shine [part 1]

When I was in 5th grade I did a lip sync at my school to Barbie Girl, by Aqua. Myself and 3 of my friends wore sparkly crop tops with fringe…that our moms made. That was the day my love affair with sequins started. Unfortunately as you get older it becomes less socially acceptable to wear sequins on the reg, until of course, New Years Eve. Between today and tomorrow I’m going to show you guys two different ways to wear sequins and metallics for your festivities. Behold, the sequins.

When I bought these shorts over the summer I had no idea when and where I would wear them, they literally have sat in my dresser until now, when I realized they’re pretty much made for a night out to watch the ball drop.

Sequins can be quite the accessory in and of themselves, so to dress them down a bit I paired my pink shorts with a chunky knit sweater, tights, and booties. An outfit like this would be perfect for a somewhat casual but still festive dinner out for NYE, or a small house party. Now, let’s talk metallics.

So, I wore these leggings on Christmas Eve and to say I heard a few comments here and there from the peanut gallery would be an understatement. I soon realized that maybe my family and Matt’s family were not ready for such a bold look, HAHA. So leggings as eye catching as these would make for a fantastic outfit for NYE, you’ll fit right in there!

My sister-in-law got me this necklace as a Christmas present and I couldn’t believe how perfectly it matched my outfit. I am in love. With printed leggings like these I always find it best to wear a top with a little length because the crotch on leggings always look so strange. I also hate it when people wear leggings as pants with like…t-shirts… can we stop that now? Anyway! Here are two ideas for a more casual NYE look! Stay tuned tomorrow for more sparkle and shine!
