Tonight, {cv} and I will be making our way to DC for a weekend of celebrations, one of which includes a sold-out blogger blitz dc! {SO excited!} I cannot wait to be back in my favorite city! For Friday's Fancies this week, we're getting ready to make the rounds on the party circuit this December. Dreaming big for Friday's Fancies will help us all get some new ideas for our festive attire, even if we have to adapt them a little ;) This lovely get-up would be one I would love to sport to my office party...

1) Not only is this Shoshanna Combo Print Dress work-appropriate, it keeps things fun and light without being too stuffy.

2) I don't think there could be anything basic about something bearing the name Yves Saint Laurent, but this Belle Du Jour Metallic Leather Clutch is simple and elegant. It would take this outfit up a notch!

3) When {cv} and I visited Newton Vineyard this past May, I fell in love with their wine--and their corner of the country. If I were a "baller", I'd bring a bottle like this 2007 The Puzzle for the party hostess.

4) Drinking fun cocktails requires a stellar cocktail ring like this Belle Noel Pave Star Ring. I just love the sparkles and the shape of this beauty!

5) I don't normally like to coordinate jewelry, but this set of Belle Noel Star Stud Earrings worked too well not to use them. They aren't overwhelming and still add a sweet dose of starry flair to the whole outfit.

6) Though I normally stray from wearing open-toed shoes to work, I will make an exception for these Stuart Weitzman Suede Bow Pumps. Bows just make everything better, don't they?

I cannot wait to see your ideal holiday party get-ups...after last week's round of INSPI(RED) outfits, I know you will create something perfect this week! Thank you for all that you do to make Friday's Fancies so rewarding :) Email if you'd like to receive the heads-up about next week's Friday's Fancies theme!
