15 Sparkly Accessories to Complete Your NYE Look

When it comes to New Year’s Eve apparel, the sparklier the better. Sequined dresses, glittery shoes, it’s all fair game on the last party of the year. But we know all that glitz and glam isn’t everyone’s style. If you’re more of a basics kind of gal, why not rock your favorite minimalistic piece and add a festive flair with a fun accessory? A rhinestoned bracelet or glittered earring is a fun way to embrace the style of the holiday without going too over the top. Here are out 15 picks to rock while the ball drops.

1. Crystal Pop-Out Pendant ($39): This piece is actually a do-it-yourself “kit” that comes with everything you need to transform the graphic shape into a piece of wearable art. By popping the shape out of the metal card and hanging it on the enclosed chain or ear hooks you can transform the metal into jewelry.

2. Kate Spade Glitter Watch ($225): Is it midnight yet? You’ll be checking your watch for more than just the time with this glittered time piece. Looking for an accessory to rock for all of 2015? Looks like you found it just in time.

6. Confetti Crowns: This trio of confetti-covered crowns adds a vibrant pop to any pulled-back ‘do. Follow this blogger’s lead and mix your confetti shapes and colors for maximum impact. (via Best Friends for Frosting)

11. Dandelion Clip-on Earrings ($32): Who needs to watch the ball drop when you’re rocking these beauts? Wear these with soft waves like this model for the ultimate classy ensemble.

12. Jeweled Headband ($24): Costume jewelry never looked so good. Sport a super simple dress and let this piece do all the talking.

13. Rapunzel Bib ($58): Sometimes you just can’t beat some good old fashioned bling. We love the idea of rocking a clean white button down and jazzing it up with this statement piece.

14. Kendra Scott Platinum Drusy Ring ($130): Make that glass of champagne look extra sparkly with this bold and glamorous ring that includes not one stone, but three.

15. Rhinestoned Studs ($45): Just because gold, silver and black are the unofficial colors of New Year’s Eve doesn’t mean you can add in some color. We’re always game for making things a little more prismatic.

Brittany and Patrick Mahomes are an NFL "It" couple we can't get enough of, from their enviable friendship with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce to their ever-so adorable kids. And when it comes to their kids? Brittany and Patrick don't play around. They've been overjoyed to be parents since day one, and continue to approach their kids with such care and intentionality — including with their incredibly unique names! So, here's everything you should know about this sweet family of five!

Learn more about Patrick & Brittany Mahomes' adorable kids — and their very clever names!

How many kids do Patrick & Brittany Mahomes have?

How old are Brittany and Patrick Mahomes' kids?

Instagram/brittanylynne

Sterling is 3, Bronze is 2, and Golden was born yesterday!

How did Brittany and Patrick Mahomes choose their kids names?

Instagram/brittanylynne

Since the arrival of Patrick and Brittany Mahomes' new bundle of joy, fans started to notice something interesting about their kids. Aside from being cute as a button, each of them have very unique baby names. Instead of taking the conventional route, the darling couple decided to pick a theme that feels on par with Patrick's NFL winning streak.

According to E! News, Brittany talked about the theme for her kids names in 2023. While talking about her dogs, she mentioned their names. "I got steel in college and named him after that." Then she admitted she thought about naming their second dog "sterling cause it went with steel perfect."

However, thinking about her future children made her change her mind. "...one day I want that to be daughters name so then we came up with Silver to go with steel."

Once Patrick and Brittany named their first daughter Sterling, the dots connected once they had their son. "...having a boy and him being Patrick Mahomes III, Bronze was just meant to be and went perfect," said Brittany.

We can't wait to learn about the inspiration for baby Golden Raye's name although we have an inkling it still follows the theme of her siblings' names.

What did they almost name 'Bronze?'

Instagram/brittanylynne

Funny enough, 'Bronze' almost had another name! Patrick told PEOPLE, "We were going with Trey at first because the third obviously and everything like that." He then shared his brother Jackson is the mastermind behind his son's name. "I started meeting more and more people with the nickname Trey, and Jackson came up to me and was like, 'What about Bronze?'"

He later said, "I haven't seen anybody else do that...I like it."

What have they said about being parents?

Instagram/brittanylynne

Brittany Mahomes is always shedding light on her role as a mom. Based on this Instagrampost, Brittany adores it. "Thanking the Lord everyday for making me a Mom. My most favorite role and biggest blessings."

Patrick Mahomes doesn't talk about fatherhood as often, but he's still a doting father. When celebrating his daughter's birthday, he wrote a sweet post on Instagram. "Happy 3rd birthday Sterling Skye! You are my 💙! Stop growing up so fast."

Foolproof Beef Wellingtonby Chef Genevieve LaMonaca

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs beef Tenderloin center cut canon (ask your butcher)
  • 1-2 T Avocado Oil for searing
  • 8oz shallots, minced
  • 1 lb Mushrooms, cremini or button, minced
  • 6 T butter
  • 1 t thyme leaves
  • 1 T minced Parsley
  • Salt and Pepper TT
  • Pastry Dough x 2:
  • Bread Flour 1 1/2 cups plus 1 T
  • Butter 3/4 cup (6oz) cubed
  • Salt 1/2 t
  • Ice cold water 1/4 cup

Directions:

  • Slice off a 2 lb center cut canon from a beef tenderloin or ask your butcher.
  • Pat dry, season heavily with salt and pepper. sear on all sides using a fat with a high smoke point (Avocado oil)
  • Tip: Precooking your beef is the secret to preventing a soggy bottom crust and most of the moisture is removed prior. This will also ensure that your tenderloin is cooked perfect every time.
  • Roast in a 150 oven to an internal temp of 115. Chill
  • TIP: I like to measure my canon lengthwise side to side then the circumference by using butchers twine. This will help me determine the size I need to make my prosciutto bed and pastry sheet.
  • Make your mushroom duxelles. Saute half a pound of minced shallots in 6 T butter then add 1 lb finely chopped mushrooms and thyme, saute, deglaze with sherry wine as necessary, cook until pan is dry, add minced parsley, season and set aside.
  • Add flour and butter to a counter top mixer and using a paddle, combine on lowest speed until the butter is turned into crumbs and all the flour is Incorporated. Pour in your ice water and mix until combined. Place dough onto the counter and form into a ball then flatten/ wrap with plastic wrap and chill.

Starbucks fans, rejoice!Trader Joe’s just dropped an earth-shattering dessert that mimics the coffee chain’s most popular grab-and-go dessert. You’re gonna want to run to TJ’s as soon as possible to see if it’s in stock, because not only is it tasty, it’s also a total steal compared to what you’d typically spend for a sweet treat at Starbucks.

Scroll on to discover the brand-new Trader Joe’s dessert that’s definitely making me rethink my drive-thru habit!

Trader Joe’s

Introducing Trader Joe’s Sprinkle Cake Bites: bite-sized cake balls baked with a “rich and moist” batter, coated in a white confectionary coating, and tossed in adorable little multicolored sprinkles to maximize snacking joy. Yeah, I’m already obsessed.

Ksenia Chernaya / PEXELS

Trader Joe’s crafted their new Sprinkle Cake Bites out of the belief that cake is just too good a dessert to wait for birthdays and anniversaries to eat it – and I wholeheartedly agree. Their small size makes everyday indulgence a possibility, though knowing myself, I could easily eat the entire box!

Starbucks

Now, I’m clearly not one to deny myself something sweet, and my sugar cravings get especially enticed when I roll up to the Starbucks drive-thru for a caffeinated pick-me-up. More often than not, I’ll leave the establishment with not only my typical iced latte, but also a cake pop in-hand. All their cake pops are so delicious, but I also know they’re not necessarily great for my health (or my wallet).

Ivan Samkov / PEXELS

Great news, though: while a singleStarbucks cake popcosts $3.25, this 6-pack (yes, 6!) of Trader Joe’s Sprinkle Cake Bites is just $3.99. Plus, on average, Starbucks’ cake pops (varying flavors) also contain 160 calories and 16 grams of sugar, while one of the Trader Joe’s Sprinkle Cake Bites has 120 calories and 13 grams of sugar. The only thing that’s missing from TJ’s iteration is the stick.

Alexander Wark Feeney / PEXELS

The Trader Joe’s Sprinkle Cake Bites will definitely be on regular rotation in my kitchen, starting now. In addition to mid-workday snacking, I’ll also be snagging some boxes for friends’ birthdays and to share at this year’s Galentine’s Day party!
