 With the Super Bowl being less than a week away, it's time to choose who you're rooting for. If you're like me and don't usually support one of these teams and don't want to have to go out and buy something of their's but have a party to go to, that's not a problem! Here are some great options to root for either the Seattle Seahawks or the Denver Broncos. And in all honestly, you're probably only really watching the Super Bowl for the commercials and the halftime show anyways;)
Seattle Seahawks Denver Broncos
Every girl needs a little black dress. So, do you have one? If not, I've found some great options from formal to informal, long sleeves or no sleeves, and flirty to feminine. The options are endless and perfect to meet whatever needs you're looking for in your little black dress.
| | These were some of my absolute favorite dresses from the Golden Globes on Sunday, and if you should ever have a reason to adorn such a gorgeous gown, like one of these, check out some of the very similar ones that I found (below) for far more reasonable prices than what the celebs had to pay. | Get the Looks
 Whether you're keeping it low key and staying in tonight, spending the night out on the town, or enjoying a nice dinner out, you can always class it up in style. Check out my Holiday Attire: What to Wear?! post from 12/9/2013 for some great outfits to start off the new year.
This is one of the only times of the year that you can get out there and show the world what you've got by glamming it up. If you want to start 2014 off right, go out there and get your hair or makeup done and don't worry about the cost because you deserve it. How often do you actually get to do that? And, I'm giving you permission to do so! However, if you are being money conscientious, then go out and buy yourself some fake eyelashes, add sparkle to your face, or go with the smoky eye. Do something you wouldn't do normally! If you start the year off feeling wonderful about yourself, how can it not be a great year?! Leave the worries and resolutions for tomorrow. Your resolution for tonight is to have fun with no cares and celebrate the new year!
Always remember that whatever you are doing tonight, be safe, be smart! You should always have a sober ride whether it's a legitimate designated driver (somebody not drinking), your plan is to cab it, OR some cities even offer free rides through bus or van transportation. Another option is to get a hotel room or I'm sure your host would be more than happy to have you stay over versus driving. A DWI is the last way you want to start off the new year and believe me, there will be more cops out patrolling tonight. In addition, never leave your friends behind. Take part in the buddy system. You don't want start the new year with regrets.
It's just not worth it!
So get out there and be a bold, beautiful bombshell in the New Year!
Here's to a GREAT 2014! HAPPY NEW YEAR:)
