Outfits: New Years Eve Style

December 22, 2015

With the entertaining season nearing its end, New Years Eve is the perfect opportunity to close out 2015 with a bang! Now’s the time to amp up the sparkle, color, and shine. Whether you’re adding a bright lip color, sparkling accessories, or sequined pants (or all of the above!) – have a little fun with your style for the final party of the year!

Kirsty and I have styled several outfits from our favorite Seattle boutique, Queen Anne Dispatch (QAD). You can find embellished dresses, stylish skirts, party pants, and many shining accessories to create the perfect NYE look here. Not from the Seattle area? Not to worry…they ship! If you see something you love in this post, ask for Sabrina – she knows what we’re wearing. Below you will find several of our favorite pieces styled for a festive and fun celebration.

These sequin pants are the life of the party! I’ve worn them several times this holiday season; with a dressy top (like here) or dressed-down with a drapey tee and flats. I’m even considering a sweater and sneaker pairing for my next casual night out with girlfriends. I’m an advocate for getting more wear out of the special pieces in your wardrobe…believe it or not, sequins can get a lot of mileage!

pants: Closet (QAD)
blouse: Madewell
jacket: Topshop (sale!!)
heels: Jimmy Choo (similar)
clutch: Clare V.
necklace: 31 Bits (QAD)
lips: LOC in ‘Wildest Dreams’

Although I’m wearing my “go-to” black, I’ve added a pop of color in this look with red accessories mirrored in a red lip. It’s fun and festive while not being too over-the-top. In addition, the subtle brocade pattern on the skirt gives the outfit more depth, while the fur-lined wrap is the perfect, sophisticated topper for a chilly evening out.

What I’m Lovin’: A great tank AND a great sale!

November 3, 2015

Exciting news for shoppers who can appreciate unique finds, special treasures, and great gifts! My favorite local boutique, Queen Anne Dispatch, is hosting a Friends & Family event that is worth stopping in for. This week, Kirsty and I will be featuring outfit and gift ideas that can all be found during this amazing sale.

And, you don’t have to be a Seattle resident to enjoy 20% off these finds. Come in Friday and enjoy music, drinks, and great company, in addition to finding all of the items featured in this post. OR call Friday and ask for Sabrina – they ship!

I’m Lovin’ this special tank – the metallic pattern and special details make it perfect for a night out. I’ve paired it here with a tulle skirt and heeled, peep-toe booties. Metallic extras amp up the glam factor while the addition of the booties and moto jacket add an element of street style.

Tank: LIV Los Angeles
Skirt: BB Dakota
Bracelets: AT Copper Leaves and Lucia K. Jewelry
Earrings: Lucia K. Jewelry
Lip Color: John Russo ‘Vamp’

I also love the contrast of the tank when paired with destroyed denim and a moto vest, as shown here. Red pumps add color and keep the look polished, yet the overall vibe is casual – a great way to get extra mileage out of your special pieces!
