FASHION FRIDAY! - New Years Eve!

New Years Eve! by hsk327 featuring sequin dresses

New Years Eve Wedding

Are you attending a New Year's Eve wedding celebration this year? The calendar fell perfectly for those who love this festive date and dreamed of being married / celebrating into the new year. What better way to start the new year, then newly (and I mean really newly) weds. If you are the bride for this great occasion, chances are you are just about finished with your most important details, but what about the small ones? Did you pick your shoes? Shoes are a very important accessory for this (the utmost) best day in your life. After all...you are taking a big step into your new life; why not make that step fashionable. Many brides are choosing blue shoes for their wedding (something blue) but for a New Year's wedding, those shoes should present you with a bang. If the dress coordinates, check out these by Jimmy Choo (Teal Tawny), they are certain to turn some heads. Shoes already picked, how about some finishing touches on your flowers? For this celebration try adding some streamers and blow horns into your bouquet, it will look festive.

Not the bride, attending a wedding on New Years Eve. This occasion requires the best of the best, most fashionable attire. After all, this is not just any wedding and not just any New Year's party. Chances are the reception will begin late (8pm or so), you want to dress black tie. Any color would work for this wedding, however I would still stay clear of red. I would never recommend wearing red to any wedding; the shade of red is a show stopper. Everyone notices the girl in the red dress, and this is not your night. I would suggest silvers and golds being the best shade to wear.

A Premier Design Kinda Party - Ladies Only!

This past Saturday my mom and I hosted a Premier Design jewelry party. My mom loves parties and I have a background in event planning so, we knew we wanted to make this jewelry party fun and just a great time with friends. I really enjoy Premier Design jewelry. There really is something for everyone and for all budgets. The ages ranged from 19 to lady's in their 70's and everyone found something they loved.

We had lots of food and drinks of all kinds. We had our local grocery store make up turkey, ham, and roast beef sandwiches on potato rolls and pretzels rolls. I have always loved potato rolls, but I must admit I LOVED the pretzels rolls more! We also had fresh fruits, veggies, chips & dip (my hubby's family recipe), "bowl of nothing" (watergate), my moms homemade caramel corn (her secret recipe!), homemade pumpkin bread with yummy frosting, and adorable mini doughnuts from Dough a Deer.  We had to have yummy drinks to go with all the yummy food! We had the basic water and all different types of soft drinks, but the best was the girly, fruity drinks. Jamaican-me-happy was my personal favorite!

There was a grand total of 15 people. You know there is going to be lots of fun and excitement with that many women. We modeled jewelry, did skits, and won prizes, Lynda was our Premier Design consultant and she was great. Lynda taught us great and different ways to use our jewelry and even our scarves! We shopped for over three hours! There were so many samples to look at, plus two different catalogs to shop from.

It was a great party and lots of fun!
