Thank you for all of the lovely comments on the last post. I hope you had a nice Christmas and/or Hanukkah! We went out for a yummy Italian dinner on Saturday night, which included a fabulous Seven Fishes risotto dish. Yesterday was a quiet day at home, very relaxing. This week we’ll be prepping for our annual New Year’s Eve gathering.
Do you have plans for New Year’s Eve? Still sorting out what to wear? Short of Black Tie events, my strategy is to stick with simple separates (or you can go with a dress if they’re more your thing) and let accessories do the heavy lifting to create a look.

I also wanted to mention that Nordstrom is having their Half Yearly Sale. If there are any Eileen Fisher pieces you’ve had your eye on, it’s worth checking out as there are quite a few marked down.
Talbot’s is also having a Semi-Annual Sale, up to 60% off.
