Margaux goes to New Year's Eve Party

New Year's Eve is celebrated around the world--usually involving parties, music, fireworks, and champagne.  It's the one time of the year where you can play up the shimmer and glitter.  This is a great evening dress, and paired with the faux fur shawl provides warmth and style to ring in the new year.

New Year's Eve is day of endings and new beginnings;  it is a time to reflect on the past year, look into the future, and making new resolutions which is a tradition that dates back to Babylonian times (returning borrowed farm tools was a common resolution back then).

Here are some New Year's traditions from around the world:

• Spanish people eat 12 grapes during the last 12 seconds before the new year
• Polar Bear club members dip into icy waters
• Scottish people march with fireballs down the streets
• Times Square drops a 6 foot, 1000 pound Waterford Crystal ball 
• Other US cities drop a pickle, pretzel, a pine cone, and a caged opossum
• Italians used to wear red underwear and get rid of old items by throwing them out windows (an old tradition not practiced anymore)

Happy New Year!
