If your practical like me and consider comfort and the weather before putting anything on, then don’t be too quick to rule out the idea of wearing pants to bring in the New Year.

What better way to bring good fortune your way in 2012 except in a pair of solid gold trousers?  They add the glitz required for the occasion and let’s face it, when else is this color any more appropriate?

I’d keep make up minimal; using gold’s and browns for shadow with the exception of a bright red lip. Match your lip to your clutch and keep it moving till the clock strikes 12!  I finished this look with a pair Valentino open toes pumps, and a sheer Tibi shirt.  If you’re not one for the outright sparkle that New Year’s is known for this is a nice let’s call it “conservative” alternative.

As much as I would love to hit the streets and party this year, I think it’s more likely that I’ll park my butt in front of the TV at home to watch the countdown by a warm toasty fire and my own alcoholic concoction.  Drink responsibly now!

 

Santa was very generous to me this year, even though I maybe wasn’t the nicest little girl.  I did however post my wish list last week…so it must have gotten into the right hands. I’m absolutely smitten by everything I received and can’t offer enough overbearing thanks and humble gratitude to my hubby for the iPod and watch.  And to my Kris Kringle this year, my sister in-law Celeste, thank you so much for the purse!

For what remains of 2011 I thought I’d post my favourite fashion picks of the year.  2011 was packed with so many amazing pieces it was really hard just to settle on just one for my first entry.  High on the list are these righteous Dsquared2 Ice Skate pumps.  I thought when I first saw them that they were actually meant to be skates (not usable ones obviously) but the fact that their actually wearable heels blew me away.  Chanel Iman looks is working the hell out of them on the runway, in a knee height pair pulled over distressed denim. Hawt!!

I’m all over the black, but love the worn in look of the white…so torn!  They’re actually on sale now so if you’re looking for something to make a statement in for 2012, a pair of these on New Year’s would set of plenty of fireworks!

So it’s been a week since I’ve been back from our annual Niagara trip, I had a great time and am back into the swing of things at home.  I couldn’t go to Niagara Falls and not stop by the outlets including my favourite shop Coach!  I agonized over my choice between my usual classic black sensibility and going outside my comfort zone.  But after polling the other Coach fanatics taking advantage of the huge in store savings and BBMing pictures to my main squeeze, I took inspiration from the holidays and went red. I Haven’t looked back since, and am very happy with my selection.  I was looking for a compact cross body to wear with my backpack for school; this bag will be perfect.  I thought I’d go all the way and get a matching wristlet.  Not in the exact the same colour because I hate matchy matchy.  I got the wristlet in a patent leather just a few shades darker.

 

Christmas is only 2 days away! I hope everyone enjoys spending the holidays with their families, I certainly will. See you back here monday, Merry Christmas!!
