First a little housekeeping: Those of you who get the Shop Tart’s e-mails may have noticed you now have to click on the title of the post to see the full entry for that day. Those of you haven’t noticed, well, you now have to click on the post to see the full entry for the day. If you don’t get the Shop Tart’s e-mails, why not subscribe?

Now on to more interesting things… In case you haven’t heard, it’s New Year’s Eve. The Shop Tart hopes you have fabulous plans already! The Free Times did a great job of summing up the options. A lot of places no longer have spots available, but it’s worth giving your favorite a call, as people do cancel. In fact, it’s worth showing up at the last minute to see if you can take the place of a no-show. Speaking of, don’t be a no-show. There are people who can’t decide what they want to do and make reservations all over town, taking spaces the rest of us might like and cheating the restaurant out of a chunk of money. Making multiple reservations, in the Shop Tart’s most humble opinion, shows an unattractive lack of confidence. How hard is it to commit to a good time? They’re all bound to be fun - the company is always more important than the locale, n’est-ce pas? - so just pick one!

Company is more important than locale, but your outfit trumps both. The Shop Tart has planned entire parties solely for the purpose of debuting a new look and she’s not ashamed to admit it (well, maybe a little ashamed, but she wants you to realize you are not the only one obsessed with your appearance above all others!) So, what are we wearing? The Shop Tart will rock a jumpsuit and sparkly heels. She’s going for the “Hot 70’s Housewife Out on the Town” look. Wish her luck in the “hot” department. And wish her wisdom on the jumpsuit decision; she’s waffling. A jumpsuit? Seriously? We’ll see.

Don’t forget your New Year’s Resolutions. Resolve to keep them this year. Resolve to make keepable resolutions. The Shop Tart is considering the following, but hasn’t committed, so don’t get too excited:

  1. She will de-clutter and re-organize one cabinet or closet in her house each month. One a month.
  2. She will wear curlers to pick up the kids at school no more than once a week.
  3. She will immediately cease embarrassing her children for sport, though her own mother seemed to enjoy it immensely.
  4. She will stop cussing, drinking, obsessing about her clothes and making fun of her husband. Ha ha. Just kidding!

So, lovelies, have fun, be safe and wear what you love! It’s not too late to shop, although you should do it early and call ahead, as some places are closed today and others close early. It’s also not too late to call a car service for this evening (The Shop Tart recommends Aiken Limousine). Many New Year’s Eve hotspots offer safe transportation; take advantage of it.

In other news…

  • Simply Savory is open until 5 pm today, so head in for that last minute bottle (or case!) of Champagne if you’re staying in for the night or having people over after your 5 pm dinner reservation, which you were forced to make because you waited until the last minute. Ahem.
  • Today is the last day to take advantage of M Boutique’s 25% off cocktail clothing sale - great place to get an outfit for this evening!
  • Belladea is open today and has two sale racks, one at 30-40% off, the other at 60% off.

Happy Shopping, Happy New Year and don’t forget to tell them you read it on the Shop Tart!
