ALL SANDBOX NEW

On New Year's Eve my husband and I had dinner at a restaurant that's been on our "to try" list for a while, Kapnos by Mike Isabella. The menu is inspired by Isabella's travels to Greece and mostly consists of mezze (small plates). We're not typically fans of small plates (this reaction is familiar), but everything we ordered was delicious - my favorite dishes being the marinated spring lamb, the tyrokafteri spread with flatbread, and rizogalo (rice pudding brulee). We then relaxed at home, chatted with family, and took a small nap before midnight. Yes, I said nap. It would be easy for me to say the nap was induced by the baby, but honestly, I rarely stay up past 10 PM. I'm a morning person. I was up in time to ring in the New Year with my a kiss from my husband and a kick from my baby. She loves to dance too! I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend New Year's Eve.

How did you celebrate the New Year, and what did you wear?

Thank you so much for being a part of this incredible year with me. I can't wait to see what 2015 has in store. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Last week, I shared my favorite picks for "What to Wear on New Year's Eve 2014". While those looks are stunning all on their own, the addition of a statement ring, a unique pair of earrings, or a bracelet would take each look to the next level. Then, of course, no look is complete without the perfect purse\clutch to hold your cell phone, make-up, money, and ID. Can't afford to buy luxe accessories? Rent them! All of the beautiful pieces above can been found on Rent The Runway (RTR).

I've already put in my order for my New Year's Eve dress with Rent the Runway (RTR). Why? Because RTR never lets me down (proof is here and here), and also, if you shop between 12/10-12/21, choose a rental start date between 12/26-12/31 and use code HAPPY2015, you can save 20% on your order of $50 or more! Don't worry about ordering the wrong size - with Rent The Runway you can select an additional backup size to be shipped at no extra cost. Here are some of my favorite New Year's Eve looks available on RTR:


Come back to see what I'll be wearing this NYE. (Hint: It will be "baby bump friendly" like the last two dresses.)

I have some holiday parties coming up, and I think I've finally come up with the perfect recipe on how to dress my baby bump this holiday season. This look was partially inspired by the crop top and skirt that Kerri Washington wore to the SAG Awards. Since it's freezing out (and because I wasn't custom dressed by Prada), I decided it was wise not to bare my belly but instead wear my skirt all the way up to the empire line. This worked out especially well with my petite height - making the skirt fall a little longer than a midi length. What do you think? How will you be dressing this holiday season?
