New Years Eve

Ok, I know for many of us the thought of New Years Eve sends a shudder down our spines- "Its so far away, theres still so much to do before then!" I'm hearing you, but seeing I'll be away for new years this year, I'm getting in early and providing you with a plethora of options, no matter which way you choose to welcome in the new year.

Whenever New Years Eve is mentioned, it usually evokes a different set of emotions and reactions depending on who your speaking to. There are those filled with enthusiasm at the thought of welcoming in a new year, love the excuse for a party and often see it as the highlight of the year. Then there are those who believe its over rated, almost never lives up to the hype and would rather sleep through the dreaded count down (well maybe not literally sleep but you get the idea!).

I was always of the later opinion.. I've always dreaded new years; trying to find something to do that pleases everyone, there almost always seems to be something that goes wrong on the night and it generally has never lived up to the hype for me- it always seemed like way more drama than it was worth.. until last year. Last year on New Years Eve, by chance, I was fortunate enough to meet one of the most beautiful souls I've ever known. There are a multitude of different sayings relating to new years, "what your doing on new years you'll be doing for the rest of the year","new years sets the tone for the whole year"- you get the idea. Last year, my 2012 had a perfect ending, and 2013 a perfect beginning. Whilst unfortunately I didn't continue doing what I was doing on new years for the rest of the year, I'm hoping that partying in the big apple this year will top last year and not only bring me a perfect beginning and ending but heres hoping that that excited, elated feeling of joy and optimism lasts the year.

Wishing that your 2013 has a perfect ending and 2014 a perfect beginning, no matter how your celebrating.

A Stylish Affair

P.S: It is so so easy to get it wrong on New Years Eve, I promise you its not the time to bust out the sequinned mini you bought ten years ago. Think about where your going and what you'll be doing on the night. I tend to choose either a feminine floral or classic fail safe black. As always, feel free to email me for other outfit options/advice.


Cocktail Parties

Style Tip: choose something sleek and not too in your face, you'll stand out amongst those whom have opted for the brightest in your face colour schemes or worse- sequins.

House Parties and Pub Parties  

Style Tip: If your attending a pub party opt for a cross body bag, it will leave your hands free to hold your drinks and protects you against putting it down and 'accidentally' loosing it.
