For you cheapies like me...who always crave starbucks but convince yourself that the $5 could go toward a new pair of shoes instead...this one's for you!
Two's company. Through Sunday, Starbucks is getting into the spirit with a buy one get one deal on holiday drinks. Just stop by your local 'bucks between 2 and 5 p.m., and you'll get one festive bevvie of equal value on the house when you a buy a peppermint hot chocolate, gingerbread latte, caramel brulée Frappuccino, or other seasonal refreshment.*

Every year my husband and I ring in the New Year by making fondue and watching Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin Eve. Last year these activities were intermingled with our own little dance party. I'm not kidding; we found this 90's hip hop station (you know, with songs like "Tootsie Roll") and ushered in club DeLangie. We are such nerds. But I love us :) (Ok so I have to interject that my husband is sitting next to me now denying that we danced. He's saying we "played games." Yeah-- the game was us dancing for an hour in our living room. It's my blog Joe!). Anyway, we aren't really club goers but I try to create a fun and festive atmosphere at home for New Year's Eve. And I don't know about you but for me, food makes everything fun (it's a wonder I'm not 300 lbs). So if you're looking for something a little out of the ordinary I highly recommend fab fondue and silly dancing. Here are my favorite fondue recipes.
We dip broccoli, cauliflour, lil smokies and/or keilbasa, steak tips, apples, and french bread
We dip strawberries, pineapples, pretzels, and pound cake. Also try marshmallows and graham crackers.
Obviously you need a fondue set. Mine is similar to this one, though there are a lot of fancier sets out there.
Lastly, you know you want this. Dance it out.
Happy New Year from the ladies of Taste{full}!!
Well Christmas is almost here and New Year's Eve is fast approaching. I never really 'go out' so I never buy evening wear...but then when I do go out, I never have anything to wear. It really is a vicious cycle. Well that cycle is about to end because these adorable tops have so inspired me to beef up my nighttime wardrobe!

Style&co. Sleeveless Two Tone Tunic. Another budget friendly option, on sale for 23.00. Love the jeweled neckline--no necklace necessary.
Stay tuned for a few long sleeve options for the more conservative fashionista...
Liquid leggings are fabulous on celebrities and some of my tall model-esque friends (read: Tiff), but since they'll not be gracing THIS body anytime soon, I'm going to cling passionately to my red Christmas sweater! This year I'll bust out of my classic v-neck rut and try one of these fancy red confections, sure to reflect both the cheer of the season AND my good taste!
Of course Anthropologie will always have plenty of options to tempt me....
