Sparkle Plenty

 This was my outfit on Saturday. PIcked for our big holiday party we hosted but I also had to wear it to my daughter's performance cause I simply would not have had time to change…

This jumper was like wearing a sweat suit all night long. Super comfy….

Romper - Forever 21

Necklaces - Bauble Bar

Heels - Sam Edelman

SATURDAY:
The morning was insane as I rushed and rushed to re arrange the house, hide kids toys all to get ready for our big party…. Then it was hours of cocktail preparation. I decided to serve 7 signature cocktails for which the preparation was like cooking…. But the end result made it all worth it. They were a huge hit and not a drop was left at the end of the party….
After all this we had to leave mid day for my daughter's Rhythmic Gymnastics performance….

After she finisher her performance we left as we had barely an hour to finish getting ready for our 90+ RSVPd party…
Since I was the host I get to take very few photos…. But made sure we got some shots before the guests came and of my cocktails…

My helpers: My sis and mother in law and my mom is taking the photo….

This is what 8 year old boys do at a holiday party: Play football and watch football….

Wednesday Night's outfit was inspired by this look from the Bloomingdale's Fall 2014 Catalog:

 This look reminded me of this retro velvet top I have in my closet from my mom… Even during my cleansing project it made the cut stayed….

I changed up the outfit and went with shorts instead of skirt for where I was going and keeping the shorts, tights and boots black made the colorful top pop even more….

Top - Vintage

Shorts - Express

Belt - Thrifted

Boots - Ivanka Trump

Bracelets - Baublebar and Forever 21

WEDNESDAY:
I am pretty much going on 5 to 6 hours of sleep per night this week. The days are busy getting ready for holidays with making lists, shopping, gift wrapping, mailing cards and so on. While at night I have all these events…
Wednesday night was the crazy event… My friend who is on the mailing list of everything hip and cool in the city got invited to this event at a downtown bar where you get wristbands before 11 PM and they have a drawing at 1 AM for give aways. Last week was $50 MAC gift cards and the night we went was Kate Spade purses. The catch is you can't leave the bar once you get your wristband. So you have to kill hours at a club before the drawing. Given our age and week night it was not the best scenario but we decided to do it because we are crazy. And it was 'Industry' night so all the staff from other bars and clubs were there which made it an interesting crowd. The irony for me was that I was in a class room earlier that day helping kids make 22 gingerbread houses while dancing at a club at night. Felt like I was in two different universes. We made the best of it though and enjoyed the hosted champagne bar and danced all night until the drawing.
And sure enough as luck would have it both myself and my friend's sister won! So sad my friend did not…
Went to bed at 2 AM!
