Happy.....Statement Necklace! The Perfect New Years Party Accessory.

As we all gear up to celebrate the start of the new year, we are consumed with planning every aspect of our night, from where to go, how to get there, who to go with, who will be there and ultimately, what to wear in order to make sure we have the perfect night and see the new year in in style.

By now I am sure you have all purchased your killer party dress. Good job! However, I hope you have time to shop tomorrow because this year no outfit is complete without a statement necklace. Whether your dress is bright, strapless, patterned, maxi, lace, white, fitted, high neck, black, backless or has a plunging neck line, you will be certain to turn heads when teamed with a statement necklace.

As statement necklaces are totes amazing at the moment, there are lots to chose from and I guarantee you will find one to suit your budget. I have my necklaces sorted for my new years eve and new years day events. I wont reveal my whole outfits just yet, but I will share the necklaces I will be wearing.

Mimco $299

Sportsgirl $29.95

Happy new year! I hope you and your stylish accessories have a fantastic weekend! 

Eat, Drink and be Merry.

Christmas is my favourite time of the year. I start getting into the spirit in mid November, planning present ideas, choosing a colour scheme for the decorations and wrap and purchasing a couple of new christmas CDs. (Michael Buble and I am embarrassed to admit, Justin Beiber, were amongst my faves this year.)

Being the day after boxing day I have had time to recover from the present high, the turkey bloat and the trifle hangover. While I am lying low before I start gearing up for new years celebrations, I thought I would share some pics of my Christmas Day decorations along with some tips for styling the perfect party.

Always have fresh flowers. They are the perfect centre piece for any table. I put these together in five minutes, with minimum arranging to create an effortless look. 

Use the whole space. Because we have quite high ceilings and our christmas tree is very tall I decided to have hanging decorations in clusters above the table centrepieces. I made the decorations out of white card, feathers and tissue paper.

Take time to create finishing touches. I put these decorations together at the last minute to carry the theme throughout the room. I used recycled jars and leaves from our garden. The feathers and letters continue the theme I created with the table decorations.

The small details add to the overall look. I found these cute retro straws at Store in Mt Lawley. Again I have used the dove shape as the wineglass name tags. 

I went a bit over the top and even made my adorable dog Daisy fit in with the decorations with a tule bow and feather collar.

Here is my cute little cousin Ed with his present. I used the same colours and materials to wrap all the presents this year. The tags are also the same as the name tags for the place settings on the table. 

My gorgeous and talented cousin and best friend Annie-Rose made all the christmas crackers this year. She did such a good job, even tracking down the same paper and tule that I used for my wrapping and place cards, I was so excited!

It was such a great day. Everyone loved the decorations and admired all the small details. I had a ball putting it all together and the overall look was definitely worth it!
