What I Wore

For New Year's Eve we celebrated in style with friends at the Lodge Dining Room in Sun Valley. I love any reason to get dressed up. We were in bed well before the clock struck midnight, but it was a great time nonetheless. 

Here are a few photos of what I wore. I didn't end up "Renting the Runway. Instead I shopped in my own closet (and my mom's). 

1) Chain link bracelet (borrowed from my mom, I think it is Michael Kors), Nixon Camden rose gold watch, a Christmas gift from my +1.

2) Fur stole (my great grandmother's) and Phillip Lim 3.1 black dress purchased at Seams to Fit for an incredible $99 (last seen here).

3) My current favorite hair style, a sock bun! Stay tuned for a sock bun tutorial and video blog. 

4) ASOS polka dot tights and Vince Camuto Zella heels. 

And one last photo of me and my +1! 

Happy New Year! 

Holiday Hotness

Lauren Conrad posted this dress on pinterest (here) last week, and I couldn't help but think how fantastic this would be for New Year's Eve. It sort of looks like the model forgot her pants, but I'm sure she's at least 5'9 or 5'10 so I think it would look more dress (and less shirt) like on me! 

Best thing about this dress...the totally ridiculous price of only $46.50!

Planning Ahead

We will be spending New Year's Eve in Sun Valley with our good friends. None of us have ever really "done it up" on New Year's (I know...we're pretty lame), so we will be leaving our little people at home for the night and hitting the town. We've made reservations at The Lodge Dining Room at the Sun Valley Resort for a night of dinner and dancing, totally old school style!

So the big question, what to wear? As always, Rent The Runway is my go-to! Here are the dresses I am considering?

Badgley Mischka Fifth Avenue Show Stopper ($75 rental)

Milly Sienna Sequin Stripe Dress (Rental $60)

Shoshanna Primary Lace Dress (Rental $65)

And my front runner....the Tibi Confetti Sequins Dress (Rental $100)

Which is your favorite?

One Hot Little Number

If I was hitting the town to ring in the New Year, I would wear something hot like this little black dress! It's just $495...

Halston Heritage Sequin Mini Dress

Here's a more budget friendly option. Looks pretty much the same to me!

TFNC One Shoulder Sequin Dress $68.96
