NYE ideas/Ideas para Noche Vieja

With Santa Claus on his way back to the North Pole and all our christmas overeating out of the way, it is now time get serious and think about New Years Eve.  If you haven`t already decided on what you are going to do, it`s time to choose.  Otherwise you might just be left without a date, a ticket for the club, a seat at the table or babysitting your nieces and nephews……..AHHHHH.  Just kidding.  After making the decision of what to do on NYE you then need to pick out an appropriate outfit for the evening.  Will it be a casual night where wearing jeans, boots and maybe a blazer would cut it? Or maybe more of a elegante evening which would call for a more sophisticated attire?  Whatever you decide consider adding a little touch of fur or leather to your outfit.  I have listed 10 items which could put that extra ¨SHIZAM¨ to your NYE outfit.  After all, it is the last night of the year and you don`t want to enter into 2012 wearing something totally unmemorable.  

Con Papa Noel ya de vuelta a Laponia y las pesadas comidas de Noche Buena terminadas, es hora de pensar en nuestros planes para Noche Vieja.  Si todavía no has decidido que vas a hacer, hay que tomar una decisión antes de acabar quedandote sin entrada a la fiesta, sin un sitio en la mesa, sin acompañante o peor cuidando de tus sobrinos..........UGH....(he he).  Despues de decidir hay que ir pensando en el conjunto mas adecuado para la noche que nos espera.  ¿Será una noche casual donde podemos acudir con unos vaqueros tipo skinny, una camiseta de lentejuelas y un blazer o será una noche donde tenemos que vestirnos de etiqueta?  Dependiendo de tu conjunto de esa noche considera añadir un toque de cuero o pelo a tu atuendo.  Teniendo en cuenta que es la última noche del año 2011 y queremos tener una buena entrada al 2012 hay que asegurarse que llevamos algo memorable.  Aqui os dejo 10 ideas para añadir algo extra a tu conjunto de Noche Vieja.

1. Fur and gold bracelet by designer Wendy Nichol. This can go with any outfit whether it be causal or fancy. Pulsera de oro y pelo de la diseñadora Wendy Nichol.  Facíl de combinar con cualquier look, siendo casual, elegante o incluso rockera.

2. A fur vest is great to keep you warm while still showing off your NYE ensemble.  Un Chaleco de piel para mantenerte calentita sin quitarle protaganismo a tu conjunto de Noche Vieja.

3. A medium sized furry clutch purse to carry just the necesities for any required touch ups needed.   Un bolso de pelo tipo cartera para llevarte justo lo necesario para cualquier retoque. 

4. Snake print leather jacket with fox fur collar by Gucci.  You will definately not go unnoticed with this combination.  Una chaqueta estampada de piel de serpiente con cuello de zorro de Gucci.  Con este conjunto estarás super fashion y captarás la atención de todos en la fiesta.

5. Long black leather gloves.  And don`t forget to push your sleeves up to show them off. Guantes largos de piel y no te olvides de remangar tu chaqueta para presumir de ellos.

6. Tie a leather belt on.  Perfect over any coat, sweater, blouse, dress etc.  Look for one with a flashy buckle to step it up a notch.  Ponle un cinturón de piel a cualquier vestido, falda, pantalón, jersey etc.  Y si tiene una hebilla bonita y llamativa, mejor. 

7.  XL leather bag.  Don`t forget to fill it with overnight necesities, after all it is NYE and anything could happen.  El bolso de piel XL.  No te olvides de llenarlo de todo lo necesario para dormir por alli por lo que pueda pasar.

8. A pair of great high heeled boots, like these ones by Christian Louboutin. A touch of fur will add some sass to any look.  Unos botines de piel y pelo, como estos de Chrisitan Louboutin, para dar un poco de ¨attitude¨ a tu conjunto. 

9.  An extra large Fin Racoon boa.  Just make sure you don`t drag it on the floor or let someone sit on it.  Una estola grande de piel pero asegúrate que no la arrastres por todo el suelo. 

10. Mink jackt.  And if you have it flaunt it.  Don`t leave your mink coat at home all alone on NYE, it will never forgive you.  Una chaqueta de visón.  No la dejes en el armario la noche más celebrada del año, nunca te perdonará. 

The dog ¨man`s best friend¨. But is it also the womans?

The dog, ¨man`s best friend¨.  But is it also the womans?  I think many woman out the
 re would agree that their furry pet is definately a friend.  A friend who no matter what is waiting for us at the door when we arrive home.  A friend, who if we allow, would be more than happy to sit next to us on the couch and take in a romantic movie.  A friend who I am sure if we offered him a seat at our table would sip (well, slurp) champagne and listen to all our stories, without interrupting us.  Could you really ask more from a friend?  No, I think not.  

In the last few years we have seen many of Hollywoods Starlets out walking their pooches or toting them around in pooch purses made by some famous designer.  In fact having a dog has become something of a fashion accessory, take Paris Hilton for example, toting her dog all around town.  Both owner and dog are usually  wearing the latest in today`s fashion; hats, fur collars, capes, booties etc.  Who wouldn`t mind being dressed in name brand designs and then be carried around to all the most happening places? Not me!

 

A friendo of mine, ¨Lady Fur¨, is a designer for the Italian label Carlo Ramello.  She designs high end clothing for dogs.  Here on her blog you can take a look at her latest collection , http://www.welovefur.com/2011/11/preview-dog-fur-collection-by-lady-fur.html.  I particularly like this winter`s collection of Puffy jackets with fur trimmings for dogs.

So this Christmas don`t forget about our faithful friend at home and give him or her a little taste of Hollywood.  And if you really want to do it up get matching puffy jackets  for you and your pooch.  You will be the talk of all the Christmas parties, just make sure you can show up with a ¨friend¨.
