midnight metallics

29.12.10 | Tara | 4 Comments

2011 is a mere days away! And you know what that means – New Years Eve celebrating!

I personally belong to the church of party dress and therefore I never pass up the chance to dress up on NYE. No matter what you are planning to do, whether it be a fancy hotel party, a dive bar and karaoke with friends, or an evening on the living room couch watching the ball drop on TV (no judgement from me, Snooki’ll be there in Times Square this year), party dresses are always appropriate.

My look this year is highly inspired by 70s glam gold lame (it’s having a moment in my life of late). Think Yves St Laurent and Jerry Hall. I am forgoing of-the-moment sequins for Metallics. I was able to get ahold of a very cool vintage gold dress on San Francisco’s Haight Street a couple of weeks ago and I’m pretty excited about. The rest of the outfit is still coming together but I’m finding all sorts of inspiration – see my polyvore inspiration set below:

We’ll see where I take this but in the mean time it’s fun to switch it up and say I do both 😉. It will be hard for me to never be a snowboarder girl 🏂 again and I’m so proud of my skills there, but it’s also nice to stand up properly and not have my bum freeze from constantly sitting on the snow, and get off the chair with ease 🤣. Also cheers to new ski friends (some of my favorite kinds of friends) and isn’t this furry ski hood so cute? All the hot ski girls are doing it @courtwildson 💕! #skihood @pictureorganicclothing

What a great way to officially end the summer and with great friends too! 🌅@davematthewsband @gorgeamphitheatre
