While I strolled through Bloomingdales in San Francisco during my lunch hour to check out the Spring/Summer handbag collection, I have to admit I was drawn to the Kate Spade “wall of fame”display of colorful handbags on the main level of the department store and I must mention, the photos do no justice to the real goodies.

Two things dictated how I wanted to dress for New Year’s Eve this year. Top priority was comfort and the second, dressy but casual. So I opted for pants, then a simple sequined top, followed by strappy shoes which would give me enough support to last throughout the night and a simple pair of earings to accessorize. As for the coat, I love fur, faux that is and since this year faux fur is in, I decided to incorporated it into my ensemble from here. 1. DKNYC Sequin Pullover Sweater 69USD 2. Sondra Roberts Clutch – Woven Satin and grosgrain box 125USD 3. Elie Tahari Tara Faux Fur Jacket 221USD 4. Judith Jack Sterling Silver Crystal Earings 75USD 5. Theory Pants Belisa Mandatory Slim 235USD 6. Vince Camuto Strappy evening booties 129USD
Affordable and chic are the cocktail dresses I came across here and wanted to share with those who are in the midst of attending various parties during the holiday season. The good thing is, these dresses could also be considered for New Year’s Eve.
Who says stuffy shirts and striped ties are the only gifts to give a man over 40? Here are some of my favorites and ones I have listed for Santa to bring to our household 🙂
Sometimes it doesn’t matter if you duplicate a fashion ensemble from discount racks or clothing warehouses, as long as it’s chic and stylish.:) So, here’s to the woman who knows what she wants and goes out and gets it without breaking the bank and for that, here are some of my favorites (at the moment) I plan to duplicate .
