Come Dec. 26, every store will be dipped in glitter, glitz and glam for New Years Eve (if they aren’t already). The New Years Eve dress can be a tricky thing to come across since it seems like the only option the give us gals is sequins dipped in more sequins (not that it is always a bad thing). But for 2011, we suggest putting those sequins (or glitter) in a different place, say on your shoes ?

I’m big on sweater coats right now. Since I live in Dallas and it never REALLY gets all that cold, I can wear them pretty much all winter long as long as I use a layering cardigan to block the wind. I find them to be quite cozy and warm. Nathan got me a couple for Christmas including this wonderfully happy number. It’s not colors I’d normally choose but I’ve already found a few pieces I can wear it with.

This will not come as a shock to those who know me, but for anyone who doesn’t, let me preface this post: I’m no science-fiction nerd. Say “Star Trek&# and I’ll say “Beam me up, Scotty!” I’m pretty sure this refers to some kind of awesome, futuristic spaceship teleportation system, but don’t ask me who Scotty is or who he will be “beaming.”. Yes, I admit, I haven’t spent much starry-eyed time fantasizing about galactic matters.

I Heart Ronson Blazer : $27.99. Click it/Skip it: Click it! I love the more casual look of this blazer. The cotton fabric and the dressed up lapel can work for day or night. I am so glad I walked into JCPenny and found this because I was just about buy GAP ’s very similar version…but I like this one so much better and its a much better deal than for $39.99 !

Let’s talk about lace, baby. I know that lace can be a controversial style subject and that you can go either way here. You either love it, or you hate it. Sometimes you’ll hear people refer to it as something as modest as your grandmother’s table cloth or a doily , to something a little more tainted like lingerie. But then, on the other hand, you’ll learn that others find it feminine and elegant.

I’m sure no one will be surprised by this F.A.B Report. Stockings , Tights , Nylons , Pantyhoes – whatever you call them, you need them! You need them in multiple colors, textures, styles and patterns. Tights can change an outfit from plain Jane to super stylish ( a la Blair Waldorf) and put together. The key is finding the best fit, for the best price.

Bows. Let me tell you, they’re not just for little girls or prissy dogs anymore. Yes, I know that wearing bows can border on looking as if you just stepped off the set of Season 1 of Gossip Girl, but there are more options out there than headbands! OK, so maybe the Rachel Leigh gold cuff pictured (which I love) was in fact, worn by Blair Waldorf herself, but that’s beside the point.

Ah the New Years Eve kiss…how iconic and how important that your lips be properly glossed for that special moment bringing in 2011. Luckily Smashbox has given us several options for a luscious pout with their Wish For The Perfect Pout collection (including 6 glosses) ranging from dark plum shades to lightly sparkled tones. I have to say, one of my favorite things about Smashbox glosses is their application.

Thanks to the Swapaholics and Nora , I scored these awesome Banana Republic Wool Skinny Pants for FREE! Nora spotted them a mile away laying on a table and since I am the short one thought they would be perfect for me (they are petite). Thanks Nora, I love them! I think next time I may wear a button down with them instead of a sweater, but it is cold out so I needed something warm more than stylish.

Kate Middleton. She has been one of the most talked about girls as of late, and I have to say that I adore her. And no, it’s not just because she is about to be a princess (although that is an added bonus)! Yes, she is a very lucky lady, and seriously, how cute are they? What I admire most about Ms. Middleton is how classy and refined she is. Really, she seems like such a class-act, and I applaud her for that.

A watch can be the ultimate statement piece, often able to stand on its’ own without any other accessories. I have been such a fan of the big, menswear watches for women made popular by Rachel Zoe and made everyday by designers like Michael Kors and Anne Klein. Even though my big-gold-watch staple isn’t going anywhere, the need for a little variety is taking over.

(So I’m not super excited with how these pictures came out. It was rainy and I made due with the porch. But I’m going to share them anyway, because this blazer is so fantastic.) This is what I wore to Christmas Eve services with Nathan’s family. Nathan thrifted that blazer, it is Nanette Lepore. I kid you not. It is velvet and cut so gorgeously. AND it fits perfectly.

These are from December 23. I had the day off, but Nathan did not, and the plan was to spend all day in bed, reading, watching Vampire Diaries and just being a lazy bones. But then I realized that there was a 4 days weekend coming up, and we had no groceries. So I had to drag my behind out of my warm bed, into the cold uncaring wasteland of Kroger. It was so crowded that I had to park at a neighboring gas station.
