11th hour shout-out: What are you wearing tonight?

Aly Walansky — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 22:26:13 +0000

I know you are all probably down to the wire trying to figure out what to wear tonight for your NYE festivities…

I am going to be at an intimate gathering tonight, but still want to look festive. Here’s what I have in mind: From SmartBargains.com, behold this great Yuka Wool Blend Lurex Turtleneck.

A layered look is easy to achieve when the items come ready to wear together. The turtleneck cable knit is layered over knit long sleeves and bottom that ties off to one side. There’s great gold threading shimmering through, making it casual and festive all at the same time.

Lots of fun!

A great look (for me) almost always involves the right pair of jeans. With my tunic, I’m wearing my favorite jeans – the Chelsea Skinny Stretch cut from Joe’s Jeans. Right now selling for $158 at Bloomies, you too must pick up a pair – they can’t help but make your butt look hot!

Generally, New Years Eve is an excuse to wear strappy heels – and truth be told, I did have those in mind! But, there is ICE outside, I had to reevaluate – and thus, I am wearing my favorite standby suede booties.

These are just too cute for words; they are cleverly tattooed across the back of the calf, and are flat boots, so I am less likely to break my ass in them. Plus they are shearling-lined suede. There ain’t anything more festive than that! They selling for $79 right now at SmartBargains - I ordered them in several shades!

So, what are you wearing tonight? Please comment with your thoughts!

Metallic Leather Clutch by Jimmy Choo

SP Bragg — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 14:52:08 +0000

The first thing that occurred to me when I saw this clutch was how gorgeous it would be to carry on New Year’s Eve. That is a really special night for me as it was the night I met my husband-to-be. Yes, there is a lot you can say about Blind Dates… but this one worked out.

And every once in a while you have to treat yourself to something you really don’t need. It might not be a Jimmy Choo clutch, but it still should be something special.

No No Noir Dress from Nanette Lepore

SP Bragg — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 15:39:10 +0000

The summer was over in a blink of an eye and you can almost guarantee that New Year’s Eve is going to arrive just as quickly as summer left us. So, we might as well turn our thoughts to that big night and decide what we might want to wear. New Year’s Eve is an especially big night for me as it was the night I met my husband! So, I have a great reason to want to pick something gorgeous each year. This black lace dress just might be it. Not sure yet, I still have lots of time to look (and that’s half the fun) but I do like this one.

“Black lace with fuchsia underlay. Bateau neckline; scoop back. Cap sleeves. Belt at waist; flower detail. Vent at back. Cotton/nylon; lining, acetate. Made in the USA of imported material. ”

One thing though… not sure I like the red flower at the waist. What’s your take on it??

Martini Chiller Glasses

SP Bragg — Mon, 18 Dec 2006 14:56:31 +0000

Do you know anyone on your gift list that loves Martinis?? I was at a Christmas party just a few nights ago and everyone (but me) was drinking them. I really must try an Apple Martini before they go out of style, but I love these glasses. I’ve never seen them before and I think that I know just the person for them! She’s going to love them!

Cool martini glasses that’ll chill your martinis with panache. Just place crushed ice in the base and pour a martini in the cone-shaped top glass. Shaken or stirred these martini chillers keep your martinis icy cold to the last sip. Holds 4 oz. 4′ tall.

*Martini Chiller Glasses (Set of 2)
