New Year’s Shimmer
Sorry it’s been so long, friends! I’ve just returned to Austin from spending Thanksgiving with the family in snowy Colorado. The pewter skies and twirling crystalline flurries inspired me to incorporate these holiday touches into my life back home in Austin as Christmas and New Years approach.
In anticipation of our move into a gorgeous new condo in the heart of Austin, my fiance and I are throwing a swanky New Year’s housewarming party. And of course, on the forefront of every woman’s mind is: what will I wear?
So, here’s what I’m thinking:
Spending my black Friday at home (like any sane person) on the couch with my laptop and a cup of tea, my perfect, smashing, Colorado-inspired New Year’s outfit came to life before my eyes. The bangle and necklace are made by Swarovski - totally affordable and absolutely gorgeous, the dress is BCBG Max Azria.
Not only will I invoke Colorado charm at my Austin New Year’s, but I’ll look stunning against the new granite countertops and stainless steel fixtures! Now I just have to find some shoes…
