NYE Fashion- Casual vs. Dressy

I can hardly believe that tomorrow is New Year's Eve already! Am I the only one that thought that 2010 flew by? I swear, the older I get the faster each year passes.

No matter if you are planning on staying home tomorrow night (like I am), or if you are heading out to a fun cocktail party or even hitting up a nightclub...Snapshot Fashion has all your style needs covered.

Here I have put together two lists...casual and dressy. Dressing up is always fun...but if you are having a low key NYE there is no reason you still can't look cute while being very casual. So please stay away from the sweatpants and pajamas. There is no need for that!

How are you planning on spending your NYE? Will you be dressy or casual tomorrow evening?

Winter Storm Fashion

I'll be the first to admit it...I HATE SNOW! I am rather thankful that I am no longer living in NYC since they are getting dumped on. Where I am at in Pennsylvania I have heard that we are getting anything from 3-10"...basically, they have no idea. It's been coming down pretty steady for a while now, and I have even seen a few cars spin out and one get into an accident right outside my window. Such a mess!

If you are dealing with snow, like many of us are, I put together a bunch of winter wardrobe essentials that will keep you warm and looking cute while you shovel.

How do you plan on staying warm during the storm? How much snow are you suppose to get?

Dress Like A Celebrity

You may remember how I was complaining about Ginnifer Goodwin's short hair earlier this year. Well, maybe I was a little too fast to post judgement on the do. I just came across this ADORABLE picture of her at a MOCA benefit luncheon at the Beverly Hills Tod's boutique, and I don't think it is possible for her to look any cuter. Her hair is short and sassy...a little edge with a lot of sweetness. I gotta say, this hairstyle on her is starting to win me over.

Now on to the outfit! Don't you just love it? Very casual, yet totally classic. This look isn't going out of style any time soon. She looks just so chic! I adore it so much that I wanted to put together an affordable alternative for my readers that want to wear this look.
