New Year's Style: A little glitz & some Tiny Swag

Aaaannnnd we're back!
Just like that the Holidays have come and gone ushering in a new year!
With a new year usually comes a new evolution of sorts and foresee a lot of evolving happening here at Carpools to Cocktails over the next 11 months! I can't wait to share all the fun things with you!
But picking right up where I left off (and because it's Wednesday) here's a few shots of my New Year's ensemble. I wanted something fun but not 'fussy' as we were going to be spending the evening at a friends home with all the kiddos. I needed some kind of glitz but not over the top glam & some definite sparkle. (helloooo it's NYE! You can't not sparkle!)

This sweater was the perfect middle of the road piece. Oddly enough, my daughter picked it out on our last trip to Forever 21. I glanced at it and she said "Ohhh, Mommy, it has SEQUINS. Soooo cute." And I was sold. Great selling skills that kid.

I have been in love with these skinny cargo pants s…

Lightening Up With Bright Tech Shop

I like to read in the evening and even work from the couch so I needed some added light. But finding a lamp I loved was proving to be just as difficult as the side table search. Luckily for me, the lovely people at Brightech lamp reached out and they have a collection of floor and table lamps that made my heart go pitter-pat!




I chose the Harper because it’s exactly what I had in mind when I envisioned lighting for the living room. I loved the look of a tripod lamp and the Harper is all that I wanted and mor…

Bedroom Boredom

Our bedroom is super boring. Before you get excited - I don’t mean that kind of boring. I’m talking about the overall design. In our last home I loved our bedroom. We painted the walls and there were hardwood floors and a full wall sliding door allowing for a ton of light to shine in. Our current room is carpeted, still has windows but not the best placement. (see below)




It also feels like our furniture is too heavy for the space as well as for this place we’re in right now. The bed and dresser are a set that we bought like 9 years ago - one of the first major purchases we made as a couple. It was our attempt at “adult” furniture as before we’d always just had a mattresses and bed frames. But over the last few years I’ve felt the pull towards something lighter



Something more – not feminine, but something that feels more in alignment with where we are after 8 years of marriage. Relaxed and luxe with a mix of California cool but still full of life. We upgraded our mattress shortly after B…
