Getting ready for the New Year is going to be extra-fun this year because my husband and I are going on a date night to see Girl Talk (this will be our third time seeing his show!)
For my look this year, I’m using some of my most-loved products and opting for a bright pink lip and highlighting my cheekbones for extra pop.
My New Year’s Look Products:
Bobbi Brown blush in “peony” | Almay Color + Care Liquid Lip Balm in “blooming” | Mac StudioFix powder foundation | NARS highlighter in “albatross” | Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On pencil in “zero” | DiorShow Mascara (black, waterproof) | NARS Laguna Bronzer | Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb perfume | Hot Tools Curling Iron
When getting ready, I love wearing a Kimono style cotton voile robe in the “beckoning creatures” print by the brand Plum Pretty Sugar. I first heard of this brand when I was browsing Pinterest and seeing a lot wedding parties wearing them during the “getting ready” photos. I love all of the bright, bold prints available and the cotton is so soft and lightweight.I also have this robe in a beautiful hot pink color with a gold print called “5 O´Clock at Rajasthan Palace,” pictured in the bottom right photo, below.
Though the robe is perfect for getting ready for any occasion, I wear my PPS robes most often to stay warm after my shower and also to lounge around the house on weekends as we’re eating breakfast and having coffee. I kind of wish they made mini baby robes!
I also love their Lil’ Dress, which I also own in the “beckoning creatures” print. It’s perfect for brides or anyone having their makeup done since it’s strapless and easy to slip on and off. It also makes the perfect bathing suit cover up for the pool or beach. I can’t wait to wear mine this summer!

After a long night out, slipping into some comfy PJ’s after a hot shower is the best feeling. My favorite PJ prints from Plum Pretty Sugar’s line are “Fields to Wanderfall,” “Sweet Love and Yonderflies,” and “Pink Love Poppy.”

I love your blog, but I have to be honest- I dread seeing "advertisement" posts like these!

Thanks so much for your feedback! I work hard to only partner with brands that I like, that I think my readers will like and that I would buy products from with my own money. I get tons of emails daily asking me to promote different products
Or brands and I turn down 95 percent of them because they aren't a good fit. I understand these posts aren't for everyone but I truly do care about and am selective about the brands I partner with. Just wanted to say that because I don't think most people realize how many opportunities bloggers turn down to remain true to what brands and products they like. If I didn't truly like something I wouldn't enter into a partnership to promote it. Thanks for your comment 🙂

I just wanted to say that I actually like posts like these!! If you are interested in a robe, or new set of PJs, its neat to see what other girls (with similar taste) know about. Without this post, I would have just gotten ones from Macys or something like that, and its great to read about the shop to keep it in mind for gifts, etc. So its neat to be able to see what else that I would like is out there! I found your blog a while back, but actually just started pinning your outfits and following you on Instagram. I'm a new mommy to a 3 month old baby girl, in Houston too, and I've been through a whole lot, my husband just had a kidney transplant, and I have similar interest, style/taste as you, but have just been kinda frumpy lately, you've definitely inspired to me get it together! Great blog!

Have fun on your date! We are keeping things pretty casual, just good friends and some champagne. We'll probably all be exhausted by midnight! Have fun and be safe!

Love the robes. Did they give you a promo code to offer your readers? I am interested in purchasing a short and long robe!

Laura- I did not get a promo code, I'm sorry! I wonder if they will run some kind of promotion during the new year though—I would maybe follow their Facebook page to see if they have any coming up. Happy New Year!
