I love New Year’s Eve, but I don’t love going OUT on NYE. That’s why this year, we’ve decided to spend NYE at home with a few friends and a few bottles of bubbly. That doesn’t mean that I won’t dress up! I hadn’t planned on investing in a new dress for NYE, but when Melanie Lyne‘s PR reached out to see if they could dress me for NYE, I said YES to the dress. I had no idea that Melanie Lyne carried brands other than the house brand. This gown fits like a glove and is by BA Nites. It was marked down to $199.99 from $310 when I picked it out (and would’ve been about my budget, had I decided to buy a new dress for the occasion – but now it’s down to $159.99 – a steal). It was at the Melanie Lyne boutique at Place Ville Marie where I met the charming store manager, France. She was very helpful with helping me choose this dress and the accessories. I also learned from her that Melanie Lyne is a Montreal company, part of the Laura clothing empire that has been dressing women since 1930! And it is still family-owned. Have you shopped at Melanie Lyne?
The only “POP” of coulour I needed to add was a bottle of Veuve Clicquot!
The accessories I picked out at Melanie Lyne are also, very affordable – clutch was $55 (now $44.99). Earrings about $15 (find a similar pair here).
Now I’m just waiting for midnight so I can pop my personalized bottle from Veuve Clicquot!
Wishing you all a spectacular and stylish 2017!
