New Years Eve Fitted


Happy soon to be NYE! 

My requirements for my NYE outfit include: sparkles, glitter, glamour, glitter and more glitter. 

This year was my first year purchasing a real NYE dress! I looked at several stores until I found the perfect dress! Forever 21, Nordstrom and H&M all had great dresses, skirts and shirts with tons of sparkle! I ended up deciding on this great number from Nordstrom (below). It was on sale at a steal of a price and I just love the style of it. I have been wanting a dress with gold in it so I could not believe it when I saw this dress online! It fits like a glove and I am sure to dazzle in it all night long. 


Here are some great options that were close seconds for the night!

Love the pattern that is on this dress. Silver goes with everything and since the dress is a nude/light pink you could really play with the accessory colors! I would add pinks and purples into the mix. 

Amaze dress that would be a definite statement. Nice high-low style that is currently right on trend. The color is also gorgeous and would look great on tan skin like pictured.

Relatively cheap dress that is still super cute. Great mixture of textures as well as fits. Nice and tight on top then poofs out at the waist! 

I plan on wearing some accessories with my dress as well but I am not quite sure of what yet! Here are a few gorgeous pieces I am considering! 

This headband would look great with my gold dress. I like how my dress only has gold on the bottom, so when I add gold accessories it won't be overkill!

I love these shoes! The purple is gorgeous! They also come in black and taupe. The multicolor soles just add's more sparkle, fun and glam to them. And they are on sale, with a reasonable price its hard to resist these shoes. 

This necklace is stunning! I don't plan on wearing it with my dress on NYE but if my dress had hints of blue's and green's I definitely would. 

I am LOVING these earrings. They come in seven different colors, and are a definite statement piece of jewelry. It's great how different shades of a color are used to add depth to the piece. 

OMG. Talk about sparkle. These bracelets would add true glam to any NYE outfit. Love how it comes in so many different colors. I would snag this bracelet in gold and crystal. 


I hope these dress and accessory ideas have helped! 

What are y'all planning on wearing on NYE?!

Have a fabulous night! And I will see you in the New Year!

Reindeer Cookies


Christmas is right around the corner (TOMORROW!) so I decided to get in the HOLIDAY spirit! Reindeer cookies are simple, tasty and fun to make, and the best part is that they only contain 5 ingredients (4 if you really want). 

Ingredients:
-Nutterbutter cookies (I used one pack, roughly 30 cookies)
-Chocolate (dark, milk... whatever you prefer)
-Redhots (or M&M's) for the nose
-Sprinkles (the little ball kind, any color will do. I used green and white to stay in the christmas spirit) for the eyes
- Pretzels 

Directions:
1.Melt your chocolate. 
2. Dip Nutterbutter in chocolate.
3. Place pretzel on top of Nutterbutter (as pictured).
4. Place redhot in general nose area.
5. Add eyes! 
6. Let set.
7. EAT! 

Reindeer cookies so simple, and really helped me get in that HoHoHoliday spirit!

What do y'all think of these tasty treats? Let me know if you plan on making them or have and how they turned out!

Bling Bling

I recently picked up this stunning necklace from Nordstrom


When I saw it on Black Friday, I just HAD to have it! Not only is it a stunning piece of jewelry but it was reasonably priced as well! It came in five colors making it extra difficult to chose the simple crystal color. It totally jazz's up any outfit I wear. I can not wait to wear it Christmas Eve! 

What do y'all think of the necklace?

Bows On Bows

Hey y'all!

Lately I have been dreaming in bows, like literally. I posted earlier this summer about how much I love a good bow, and well I have found the perfect hair bow! American Apparel has hair bows in literally every color and a ton of different sizes! They look simple and amazing in your hair. You can use the bow to clip your bangs back, or just an are of hair. 

Here are some pictures of how American Apparel Bows can be worn:





I love just throughing one of these bows in to fancy up an outfit! They look preppy, cute and fun! And lately bows have been taking over local college towns! Are bows big where you are from? What color would you get?

I'm Baaaack

Hey Bloggers!

Sorry I haven't posted in forever (seriously like 3 months) but I have been busy back at school. Hopefully I will be able to get on here about once or twice a week and blog my little heart out :)

Lately I have found some new fashion obessions and here are my 3 winter necessities! 

1) Coach Penny Bag: this bag is fabulous and its an affordable price! I seriously want every color! I am considering getting it in pink first! What colors do y'all love?



2) North Face Puff Vest: I have always loved these vests but this season they came out with a beautiful purple color, and well I kinda need it! Opinions? Don't you just LOVE it!?


3) My last obsession of Winter, well this week is Lilly Pulitzer Resort Chic Wedges in black sparkle. They are beautiful and a winter neccesity. I just wish Lilly had made them in my size! I wear an 11 which she doesn't carry. Oh well, but if you wear under a size 10 I suggest purchasing! 


Thoughts on these three items?
