Happy Day Before New Year’s Eve Pretties,
How was your Christmas? Grand I hope. Just popping in to share some outfit ideas for the NYE Party Girl. I usually stay in during NYE but I know some of my pretty party girls will be hitting the town. A jacket and skirt combo is a nice alternative to a cocktail dress. You can add a lace cami under all three options and be ready for a comfy night of NYE Party Girl revelry. And, these OOTNs(outfit of the night) are appropriate for Watch Night Service too, so you can get your praise on before the party!

Are you going out or staying in and what are you wearing?

Favorite_Christmas_Movies_robincharmagne

Hi Pretties,
It’s Christmas Eve! Woohoo! Tonight is one of those easy breezy nights for some real chillaxin. Remember my list for the Thanksgiving Day movie marathon I posted here? What better way to spend Christmas Eve than watching some happy Christmas movies? I am a real sap for Christmas movies, glued to The Hallmark Channel on most Sunday afternoons or 25 Days of Christmas on The ABCFamily Channel. Christmas movies are all about love and family and have happy endings, I guess that’s why I love them! These are my top 4 with something for the whole family. And of course you must have a yummy snack. Try this one here and let me know what you think, it’s different. My fave? The Santa Clause franchise, love each one and watch every Christmas season! So grab your favorite PJs and enjoy!

What’s your favorite Christmas Movie?

Hi Pretties,
Two days, well really 1 day before Christmas! This is going to be a “lite” posting week for me with the holiday and all. By now, y’all know I love a good infographic and this one about The 12 Days of Christmas and is very cool. Not surprised at just how expensive it would to buy all these goodies, the price of a pretty nice car or a couple of years of college. This is one of my favorite carols because as a little girl, once I learned all 12 days, I really thought I was doing something…LOL!

Of the 12 gifts, what’s your favorite. I love the shiny sparkly so of course “Five Golden Rings”!!!

What an awesome gesture which exemplifies the true spirit of giving. This was no small feat for the airline either and I loved how psyched the staff was pulling off this magnanimous gift, or should I say gifts. Just amazing and a great corporate citizen.

P.S. The next time Santa asks what you want, don’t say socks and underwear!!

Have you ever been a Secret Santa? Have a lovely day!

Real Or Fake?

How to Spot Fake Fashion – An infographic by the team at Farfetch

Hi Pretties,
This is an awesome(I say awesome a lot) but it is awesome! Now don’t get me wrong not knocking, “inspired” “knock-off” “fake” or whatever you want to call it. But because some of you lucky girls will give or will receive designer goods for Christmas this infographic covers everything from the logo, buttons and zippers to the fabric and even pricing. This is a pretty comprehensive tool for recognizing the real vs. a fake!

Are you giving or gifting designer goods this Christmas season? “Real or fake”? I’m just asking…LOL!

Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Christmas Decor Mini-Series Part 3

by 2 Comments

Hello Pretties,
Today is the last installment of the Christmas Decor Mini-Series. In the first installment, I shared some cool ways to use ornaments in your Christmas decor, inspired by the home interior experts at Houzz. In the second installment, we kept the Houzz love going with some beautiful Christmas trees from traditional to eclectic to accent any Christmas decor. Now you’ve got the tree up and decorated, let’s wrap up some Christmas goodies. And yes, Christmas gifts are part of your Christmas decor. I know what you’re thinking, rolls of paper, bows, and gift tags all over the place. You’d rather just toss everything in a gift bag. But, Christmas gift wrapping is easy-peasy when you know how. Here’s a great video from Dawn to Dusk Designs and checkout more from this design firm at http://youtube.com/DawnToDuskDesigns.

The Details:
Carol of the Bells – Mykola Leontovych and Peter J. Wilhousky
This Christmas – Donny Hathaway and Nadine McKinnor
Santa Baby – Joan Javits and Philip Springer
O Come All Ye Faithful – John Francis Wade
The Christmas Song – Mel Tormé and Bob Wells

Hi Pretties,
It is indeed a Happy Friday as I’m on vacay today, but the Friday Faves must go on! Today’s Friday Faves is all about Christmas Songs. The Christmas season officially kicks off for me when I hear Donny Hathaway’s “This Christmas”. This is my cue to start decorating, shopping, and just generally getting merry. I have to admit, not a big fan of remixing Christmas songs, I’d rather hear the original artist and arrangements. These are just a few of my faves. I know you’re singing each one!

What’s your favorite Christmas song? Have a Fab Friday and a Wonderful Weekend lovelies!
