5...4...3 days to New Years Eve!

2012 flew by and New Year's Eve is right around the corner. I get excited for holidays, because you get a chance to wear festive makeup that you normally wouldn't on a day to day basis. New Year's Eve is a perfect night to get away with extra-flashy makeup! Here are some ideas I've been looking at for the night.

Another fun element you can add to your New Year's Eve look is nail polish! I'm usually pretty plain when it comes to my nail polish style, but I've been trying to get on board with the trending nail designs and sparkles. I can't get over how cute these little tuxedos are! 

What are some of your New Year's ideas?

This little gift package for someone who is always on the go!

Holiday Mood Board

I wanted to put together a series of images to inspire holiday decorating.

This collection of images were inspired by rich colors and the deep hues that are accentuated on cloudy winter days.

Sparkle all year long!

Sequins are great for glits, glamor, and a great night out. They are almost a no brainer for holiday events and New Years Eve. The question is, how do you incorporate those gorgeous sequins into your daily wardrobe? Here's some styling inspiration photos to help keep your wardrobe fresh and those sequin pieces from collecting dust. 

We've got some great Sparkly pieces in the store! 

Adding a Sparkly jacket like the Riley Jacket  over a sweet sweater dress like the Nora Sweater Dress, it a good way to carry sequins through the fall. Pair it with black tights and over-the-knee boots. 

A fun alternative for an after-work function. Take a sequin tee and pair it over any cute swingy dress for a cute, layered look. Shown here: Kennedy Dress and Audrey Shirt

Black and cream are always a winning combination. Shown here is the Olivia Dress, sweater and belt available in store.

This funky look is perfect to take your gold sparkles out for a winter day. Layered with a textural long sleeve knit top, chunky infinity scarf, and sequin dress. Available: Zoey dress. 

For accessories, pair this with a pair of distressed boyfriend jeans, tan heels, and an over-sized sweater.
