Just in time for those New Year’s Eve parties, Paris Metro is offering some lovely gift gowns. This gorgeous gold gown, called Lumiere de ma Vie (that’s “light of my life,” in English), is a Christmas gift that includes a mesh ruffled top, flowing system skirt, and embellished gloves. You can find it – along with a handsome, men’s tweed suit – next to the outdoor stage in front of the art gallery.

This one, called Goddess Jewels Champagne, is a New Year’s gift. I love the wide, beaded belt, and the way it gracefully falls from one shoulder. To find this dress, you’ll need to go into the store and locate the desk near the window. It’s not hard to find, I promise!

The back is a bit of a surprise with an attractive, asymmetrical cut. Just low enough to add a little drama!

If you’re in the mood for something a bit less formal, you can also pick up this Little Satin Cocktail dress in copper from the desk. The skirt comes in 7 different mesh sizes; the rest of the parts are not mesh. This dress also has a sexy, low cut in the back, but you’ll need to go try it on to see for yourself.
My long, luscious nails are by Izzie’s for Collabor88. If you want them, you’ll need to hurry on over, since the next round will be starting in just a few days!

My earrings are a free gift from JCNY on the Marketplace. They come with a selection of 10 different metals and a 5-level, multi-gem changing script. I was dull and selected all diamonds (a girl’s best friend!), but there are 10 gems to choose from so you can have fun mixing and matching. My necklace is a New Year’s gift from Virtual Impressions. I apologize for the picture – I had a really difficult time getting a photo of the necklace because of the translucent nature of the metal. But I promise that it says “Happy New Year,” surrounded by three stars.
