Well hello there! Yes, I’m still alive…just extremely out of touch! It’s been a whirlwind of a week (or month really), and I’m glad the craziness is dying down. The day after Christmas, we flew out to NYC where we’ll be for the next week, hitting up our favorite spots. We’re crashing with our friends in Chelsea until the 1st, so bringing in the new year New York style! I’m still finalizing my New Year’s outfit – why is it so stressful every year?! I wait last minute every. single. time. So far, I’ve got a vintage purple velvet midi dress (it’s my aunt’s from the early 80s). I’m still on the hunt for glam earrings – I’ve had my eye on these bad boys, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. For those of you still stewing on your New Year’s outfits, I’ve pulled together 25 pieces you can rock on NYE. Together, separate…it can all work. Be prepared for lots of sequins, metallics, velvet, and sheerness.

PS – a few tips as you work through your New Year’s resolutions, and how you can keep yourself motivated to work out post-holiday (because I know I need to hit the gym HARD next week)!
