Happy New Year!!!

Since we're not doing anything very exciting or glamorous for this New Year's Eve, I thought I'd compile a group of pretties that scream "New Year's Eve" to me...  Tables I'd love to sit at...  Things I'd love to wear...





The perfect black crystal chandelier for New Year's Eve...









Aren't these black and white chinoiserie plates gorgeous??? 



If I had some place to go other than the living room, I'd love to wear this fun cocktail ring (from here)





And how amazing is this wallpapered closet?!!!   (from Houzz)... 







I could see putting on my "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" dress in there...







Seriously I'm in love with that dress.  (And don't have it btw) but there are so many places online you can find who sell a version of it:





...  But in reality I'll be at home in my pjs...









Enjoying one of these with my husband:









Celebrating this:







Happy New Year!!!  Thank you so much for your support & friendship. You've all been so amazing & your comments & emails mean so much to me.  Have fun & be safe tonight!!!!
xoxo,
lauren


ps-  a little heads up on what's to come in our house this next year:  ORGANIZATION!!  We're hitting the closets, laundry room & work spaces, and are on a mission to make them functional and pretty.  Can't wait!!!

  2. Happy New Year and congrats on your sweet new addition. I found your blog not long ago and hadn't checked it in several days. This morning, I woke up and thought I need to see if "Pure Style Home" had her baby :) Don't you love the blog world?! Going from 1 to 2 babies is a busy transition but such a blessing.

  17. I would say that sounds like a perfect NYE! We'll also be low key and I'm sure I'll be asleep way before midnight! It's been a real pleasure meeting and getting to know you this year, Lauren.

  35. Happy New Year to you and your little guy. I am cleaning and purging every room and closet in our house too. I don't have the patience to do it slowly though. I will be finished in a few weeks. But I plan to follow along here.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Yay!! Happy New Year and Congratulations on Justin!!! I think that picture of him in his little white bear suit is just the cutest!!
    I'm with ya' on the organization bandwagon! In fact, if I can get to it this weekend, I'll send you pics of our coat closet (as I was just thinking the other night that we needed to clean it out!).

    But why I'm commenting on this post is that I LOVE those black and white chinoiserie plates! Where do they come from??? I'd love to get some to hand on our wall.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Congrats!

    I'd also love to know where those plates are from. Hopefully its not a one of a kind antique...

    ReplyDelete
  38. Hi all!! Those gorgeous plates are from "Home, James!" and are $102 each. 877-329-8878

    I found them on the House Beautiful website but wasn't able to see them on the Home James website so you might want to call if the price tage doesn't scare you away! ;)

    xooxox LOVE THEM TOO!!!
