Fashion: December 2008 Archives

Why should champagne and the dropping Waterford Crystal Ball in Times Square be the only things sparkling on New Years Eve? Oh... and your personality, of course... Embrace the metallic trend and add some of that 80's glam to your night out on the town. Silver is HOT right now and it will be going forward into spring. Feeling the recession crunch after the holidays? Liven up your LBD with some shimmering accessories and let your inner fashionista shine!

{black and silver top by pure sugar at Lucia Boutique, favorite peacock pearl earrings at Silverado, french connection chain dress at Speck, clutch at Banana Republic, cuff at Silverado, shimmer dress by alice + olivia at Aggie's Boutique, silver and crystal necklace at Talbots, satin rosette pump at Ann Taylor Loft, silver shimmer trench by alice + olivia at Aggie's Boutique, sequin ruched tank at Violet's, and a recommendation from my favorite wine guru in town, William from Putnam Wine, the sparkling wine of choice for the $20 range is this Parigot - I plan on picking up a couple for my good friend's soiree}

My friend Nancy asked me to go shopping to help her find a dress for an upcoming Holiday Party. The setting is the Albany Symphony followed by cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. How classy and elegant is that?

This dress found at Violet's of Saratoga 482 Broadway by Muse, $195, made me very happy. How great are the satin roses at the bottom (shows off those great legs!)? A classic silhouette with a fun twist. I can almost hear Handel's Messiah and taste the Moet!

I thought these Kate Spade shoes would be perfect with the dress.

Add some color with this clutch from Ann Taylor Loft on Broadway.

Loving this classy bracelet from J.Crew.

Just discovered this jewelry made by a local designer Louise M. Jewelry. Original and custom jewelry. The prettiest and unique designs plus she's sweet and easy to work with! You can find her on line or at Violet's 482 Broadway, Mimosa 70c Beekman Street or Lily of Saratoga bridal boutique, 6 Franklin Square.
