{Let's Ring in the New Year!}

When I think of New Year's Eve..I think..

SPARKLE
METALLIC
FLASHY
SHINE
GLAM

How do we achieve the {sparkle, metallic, flashy, shine, glam} at our New Year's Eve party this year?...both in decor and in attire?..here are some ideas..
Find a sequence-esque dress, top, or bottom in a silver, black, gold, or bright pop of color. Pair a top with a nice fit in a dark jean or black pant and accessorize, accessorize. Pair a sparkly bottom with a dressy solid color top! New Year's Eve is a chance to go all out! Don't be afraid to take a chance in your attire!

If you don't already have something glamorous..consider looking at Nordstrom Rack or Forever 21..to keep your spending to a minimum! Fabuless!
In terms of decor items for an in-home party..make it flashy. Try to make your home feel exciting and fresh..sparkly, glamorous, etc. Do this by using lots of golds and silvers with pops of color! You could use glass vases and fill them with beads or metallic ornaments. Use glittery candles as accents..and be sure to buy some fun champagne/sparkling cider glasses!

Some of you, like my husband and I, may not have any big New Year's plans..maybe you're planning to have a few family members over..a few friends..play some games, keep it casual..that's great! If you have kids participating in at least a portion of your evening, it'd be great to have a craft for them to make..party hats maybe?!? It's also important to have kid friendly foods, in addition to things the adults will enjoy..
