Have you heard the Beyonce slow jam “We Like to Party“? If you haven’t, DL immediately, pour a glass of cognac, and enjoy. But seriously, this jam should be playing on repeat right now for so many of my dearest girlfriends. In the past two weeks alone, two of my best girlfriends got engaged, two of them secured new jobs, and one of them announced a pregnancy. WHAT. Something is in the air, and it’s called celebration time. In their honor, some festive lookskis: first, this jacquard dress ($75), which is JUST my style. Retro and perfect. Eee! {Also comes in a sequin fabrication, on sale now for $60. New Year’s?! Hello!} Sport with a big chunky glittery necklace ($228):
Dreamy with these knock-out Pigalles (a casual $3,400) —
— and perhaps a fur collar (on sale for $229), a sparkly brooch (love the idea of bringing this old-school accessory back — $220), and a sequinned clutch ($95):
Now, going to the dark swan side of things — don’t even get me started on the awesomeness of this Milly frock ($640), especially with these spiked Fallon rocks ($150):
Kind of amazing with these disco-fab platforms (Chrissie Morris, on sale for $641):
Slam dunk. Go high-wattage by adding a sequinned clutch ($90) — BAM!
Alternately, let’s drool over this feathered frock ($120 — NEED.) Slick with some shoulder-grazing danglers ($95):
I like it with these fashion-forward/futuristic metallic booties ($995 — HOMIGOD, I love them), but if they scare the patchouli out of you, don’t panic. I’d just as readily pair this with any ol black stiletto.
Finish with this bananas sculptural clutch from Judith Lieber’s new diffusion line, Overture ($495 — SWOON. LOVELOVELOVE.)
Side note — my mother let me borrow her authentic crystal-encrusted Judith Lieber clutch on my wedding day, and I pretty much died and went to heaven. Even though I didn’t actually hold it at all, I just felt better knowing it was mine for that day. Swoon swoon swoon, dream come true, love, in heaven, OMG.
And I know we’re stretching a bit with today’s gifting guru, but…these crystal boxes ($68 for set) are such a fun little gift to give! I can just imagine gifting them to a few of the divas in my life.
Happy weekend!
