This year, we’re looking forward to a laid-back New Year’s Eve at home with our loved ones…wine and bubbly definitely required. Here’s how to have a stylish NYE date night in—from cozy to fancy—with Birdies most classic shoes.
Cozy Countdown
It’s been quite a year and nothing sounds better than keeping it casual for NYE. Cozy up on the couch in our cheetah Starling flats and a seasonal pair of lounge pants. These Vuori joggers in cerise are a fresh take on more traditional reds. Speaking of reds, crack open a nice bottle of wine and cue up your favorite holiday flicks. Here are some of ours (in no particular order!).

Festive Toast
For those of us who prefer a change of pace from the sweatpants we’ve been wearing most of this year, put on something fancy for a romantic date night in. Our Phoebe floral jacquard slides are the perfect finishing touch for a dressed-up living room toast. Here’s a simple recipe for one of our favorite Champagne cocktails.
French 75 Recipe
1. Combine 1 ounce of gin with a 1/2 ounce of fresh lemon juice and a 1/2 ounce of simple syrup in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake for 30 seconds.
2. Pour into a Champagne flute or coupe glass and top with bubbly (about 3 ounces).
3. Garnish with a twist of lemon.
