Come to the Dark Side

I’m not going to go as far as saying I hate pink. I actually like a little pink here and there. But I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who has a) not seen the Barbie movie and b) is completely over this Barbie-pink madness.

So, to countetract all the pink, come with me to the dark side and be inspired by champagne merchandise and goodies that is dark, moody, sexy and sultry.

By now you know I love me a good champagne cocktail and nothing beats a delicious champagne cocktail in a beautiful coupe, and although I’m generally not one for colourful glassware, nothing says sultry and sexy quite like this beautiful Hotel Collection Coupe Set in smokey grey. The set has 4 coupes in a box and you can buy them here.

If you are not a coupe person, then you have the option of these traditional champagne flutes. Like the coupes, they also come in a set of 4. Buy them here.

Most champagne buckets available are generally silver or gold, but gosh, how beautiful is this tall standing bucket in black. Just gorgeous. Buy it here.

If you prefer a champagne bucket more suitable for table or counter top, then you might like this sleek black aluminium Pokerty9 Champagne Bucket which you can buy here.

When you are hosting a large Champagne Soiree or party, you don’t need a champagne bucket, you need a champagne tub. Big enough to hold plenty bottles of your favourite bubbly. I particularly like this one and I reckon it’s big enough to chill large format bottles too. Buy here.

I like to carry my champagne in something stylish when heading to friends or a restaurant. This mock-croc carrier ticks all the boxes and it’s also rather fab if you’re gifting someone a bottle, pop it in one of these for that extra touch of fancy. Buy here.

Another carrier option is the OPUX single bottle carrier, which has been re-designed with a height upgrade to accommodate a champagne bottle. This one is also super for gifting. You can get it here.

One of my all-time new favorite carriers, is the ChampsPak Champagne Backpack. In fact it is way more than just a backpack, it can actually be carried in 5 different ways; as a backpack, a vertical carrier, a crossbody bag, a simple handled coolerbag or handbag style.

The ChampsPak is made from high quality nylon and polyurethane, it’s easy to clean and the inside is insulated and lined with waterproof nylon for durability and temp control.

Each bag also comes with a FreezerPak that slots into the base. To get your own ChampsPak, buy it here.

Going back to champagne cocktails, to make a beautiful cocktail fit for those fancy smokey grey coupes and glasses, you will need a cocktail set. There are plenty to choose from, but we’re sticking to dark and moody and I have a found a few sets you might like. For a home bar, you can easily get away with a basic Cocktail Set like this one below, it has everything you need to start honing your champagne cocktail making skills. Buy here.

If you’re looking for something a bit fancier, this 13-piece Cocktail Set from Highball & Chaser is simply stunning and comes with a stand as well. Buy here.

For those who are serious about their cocktail-making, you’re going to need this 24-piece Bartender Kit. As with the Highball & Chaser one above, this one also has a stand to display all the pieces on and furthermore it comes in a velvet pouch and has recipe cards included too. Buy here.

If you really just want to whip up a basic but delicious champagne cocktail, you can literally get away with just a simple shaker. This Homestia black stainless steel shaker comes with a built-in strainer and you can buy it here.

I love to sabrage and will sabre a bottle of champagne whenever the opportunity presents. It is super easy and so much fun, and it’s the ultimate party trick. And sabres are like shoes, a girl can never have too many. And now you can also have a black sabre. This stunning Vinotive Pro Champagne Sabre in matte black stainless steel is a showstopper for sure. Buy here.

There is just something about black & white photography, right? And when it’s black & white champagne photography, I mean! Can’t ask for anything better. Take a look at some of the stunning posters and prints I found to add some moody glam to your decor.

I can’t write a post without including at least a few fashion items for my champagne girls. I have had my eye on this beautiful beaded Mary Frances crossbody bag for a while now, don’t you just love it? If you absolutely have to have it too you can buy it here.

Cooler weather = hoodie weather, and who wouldn’t want this Champagne Queen hoodie? We are all queens after all. I love, love, love it. Buy here.

The only ‘Gang’ I want to belong to is the Champagne Gang. And this Champagne Gang Hoodie is perfect for the ultimate girls champagne night out! Buy here.

A champagne-scented candle in beautiful black packaging is an entire mood all by itself. This gorgeous one even has rose quartz crystals inside. You can buy it here.

I love anything citrus-scented. Combine that with champagne and I’m sold. Check out Stay Lit‘s Citrus & Champagne Natural Soy Wax Candle and buy it here.

And that’s a wrap. Hopefully my dark, moody and sexy picks have given you a little respite from all the Barbie-pink. Happy shopping.
