Hello Darlings,

Well, Santa Claus is just a wee bit away....  and I just wanted to stop by and say "Hello and wish everyone a beautiful Christmas Eve!!!!" as well as make a quick-y post.

A holiday season is a time of joy as well as frastation. The shopping, decorating, planing both parties and wardrobe can be at times overwhelming...which got me thinking of ways to simplify things. I decided to make a post  on how to be and look like a perfect hostess and a guest on Liv blog, all based on my favorite books !!! Check them out.... and tell me what you think!!! Maybe add a  few of your own tricks.....

♥ FOR THE HOSTESS....survive with style and grace!!!

♥ FOR THE GUEST....survive with charm and style!!!

I also wanted to share with you a quick outfit post.....

I finally had the chance to shop by Liv's...and just indulge in all things beautiful with a Starbucks in my hand, as always.  I am really looking forward to starting the holiday season which for me ends in mid-January. I am very excited to spend time with my loved ones and friends...as well as ring in the New Years in New York. After a difficult month and still many problems to deal with, I plan on starting a New Year on a positive note by not canceling the long awaited trip...and just trying to enjoy it to the fullest, it is a much needed vacation!

.... so now I need all I need is to find a place to ring-in the New Year. I am going with a group of close friends and of course Andrew. We are looking for a chic lounge that is lively but with a pleasant atmosphere where we can enjoy each others company. Definitely NO clubs...but a place to sit down, kick back and just enjoy! Nothing wild....but definitely something fun! So darling New Yorkers or those who love New York, please be so kind to share some ideas or suggestions ( your Las Vegas recommendations were fabulous, so I trust your judgment! PRETTY PLEASE!!!

I am wearing: Club Monaco wool and cashmere stripe top; H&M ruffle skirt; Marcio Designs for Davids Shoes Over-The-Knee Boots.

Got to rush...I am off to join Andrew's family for dinner. Since, I formally celebrate Christmas on January 7th!!!

Wishing everyone a beautiful Christmas Eve!!!!

With Love...
Marta
