DIY INITIAL NECKLACE

A little bit Alice in Wonderland meets holiday glam with my easy idea to
make a statement (necklace) and sign it with your surname!
If you're still muddling through looks for your New Year's parties, try this do-it-yourself-er on for size. I put this little pretty together for a perfect morning-after tea and breakfast, so as to keep up with the cute and glam of my previous night's New Year's Eve partying.

1. I purchased the big part of this necklace — a beaded statement collar — already put together, but you can also make your own by braiding multiple strands of seed beads.
2. Then I added a big bow of simple black satin ribbon, easy to find at almost any craft or stationary store.
3. Next, I scoured my jewelry collection for an initial pendant and removed it from its chain.
4. Finally, all of the components can be attached easily together with a small safety pin or thread.

Party on!
XOXO,
EÀLM

TRENDY LIME HOLIDAY SOIRÉE AT HARLOT


Trendy Lime is Tri-continental! I rocked around the Christmas tree last week with Trendy Lime’s Holiday Soirée at Harlot, hot club in the city, one part in a trio of parties for the season’s festivities, as Trendy Limers also joined together in Brazil and Europe to celebrate.
Those of us in SF enjoyed the smooth atmosphere at Harlot, sipping our drinks and chatting away as painted murals watched on from dimly lit center tables and walls. The top floor bar was where I spent some of the night, people-watching from a balcony that overlooked Trendy Lime’s beautiful crowd of jet-setters, socialites and urban professionals. Trendy Lime also entertained its lucky guests with prizes handed out by helpful elves and Santa himself!

Among the sponsored items were two $250 vouchers towards your adventure experience with Zozi.com, two sets of sparkly jewelry from ChicGems, two 14-day passes to the elite Bay Club Financial District, two beauty baskets from Jurlique, organic care from Australia, voucher from CocoVine,1673 Haight Str. for Coco-Luxe delicacies and Blue Bottle Coffee, and dinner for two at Morac Lounge.

Check out the rest of the party pics here.

Be sure to visit Trendy Lime for more events, so you’ll never miss out on one of the world’s best parties.

SOFT SHOCK

Feeling a little eighties-blended during a warmer winter day; leopard print mixed with polka dot can make for one serious combo. Toss on a leather jacket to complete the ensemble!

THE HOLIDAY DRESS

It's always tough when it comes to decision time on your outfits
for multiple holiday soirées — but with this easy look I figured,
"why not go as a snowflake sporting leopard sky-high wedges?"

Wishing you some sparkle in your holiday season,
XOXO,
EÀLM

GOLDENEYE

Sequins at the seaside on the site of the ruins of the Sutro Baths.
I love golden shimmering tones, especially when I get the chance to wear them just before sun set.
Another fun trend to try this season; glitter-flecked eyes and faux freckles, easily painted on with a thin brush liquid liner in a sparkly shade.
Glitter glam goes tough with fingerless gloves and a touch of studs somewhere.

LOVE IS WON

Cupid is the one who hunts the gods
And pierces swift their plated chests
Adorned now in arrows of love.
