happy new year

January 1, 2014

Happy New Year! We can’t believe 2013 is behind us – it flew by! As one year ends and another begins, it’s a great time to reflect on the past and hope for the future. 2013 was a busy & fun year for us: we visited parts of the world that some us had never been to, bought first homes, started new jobs & celebrated the big and the small, always grateful to our the Lord. And…we started bishop&holland! It’s been such a whirlwind & a blast since our first post on 9.30.2013. Thanks to each of your for joining us on this journey. All your support and encouraging words mean so much to us! Stay posted to see what’s in store for b&h in 2014!

Cheers,

In our opinion, nothing says New Year’s Eve quite like popping a bottle of bubbly. Actually, we think popping a bottle of champagne or sparkling wine is a good idea anytime! Did you know that technically only sparkling wine from the Champagne region in France can be called Champagne? But most of us use the name for anything with bubbles. We love a fine French champagne, but Italian Prosecco, Spanish Cava and California sparkling wine frequently find their way into our menu planning and celebrations. We find that a bubbly wine goes with just about anything & we try to always have a chilled bottle on hand!

Splurge: Dom Perignon, Roederer Cristal, Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque

Celebrate: Piper Heidsieck, Veuve Clicquot Brut, Schramsberg Blanc de Noirs

Save: Mumm Napa Brut Rosé, Sofia Blanc de Blancs, Chandon Brut Classic

Cheers,

Here’s our take on the NYE LBD, or New Year’s Eve Little Black Dress (but that’s a mouthful!). In the past, we’ve done the sequins, the hot pink or the low back, but there’s just something so elegant about a LBD – especially with an added twist of sparkle for New Year’s Eve. You can take this dress with a subtle sparkle and add in some fun statement pieces, for example this leopard clutch, great earrings, and shimmery wrap. For an edgier look, add Valentino Rock Studs. Whichever way you decide to put it together, we don’t think you can go wrong with a NYE LBD!
