Styling New Year’s

I am HELLA excited for Christmas and am losing my mind over the fact that it’s tomorrow, but as soon as this magical day is over, another wildly exciting night is waiting in the wings: New Year’s Eve. I love the idea of New Year’s…aka getting dressed up and having a few (too many) drinks with friends.

We all know I’m secretly a grandma and wish I could be wearing this on December 31:

…buuuuut let’s get real, I should probably be social and ring in the new year with other people (and at the very least, stay up to see the clock strike 12). That said, I am very much a magpie at heart: shiny things just call to me. I’ve had my eye out for snazzy things to wear for New Year’s, and have been overwhelmed with ideas. Sequins, sparkles, and dresses are classic, and it’s also exciting to play with options like lace, metallics, and playsuits. Here are a few of my favourite pieces to inspire you for New Year’s. They say they way you spend your New Year’s will foreshadow how the rest of your year will go…why not ring it in with glamour, rather than a onesie and tea (which we all know is how I will spend 2015 anyways). Merry Christmas, and let me know what you end up wearing to ring in 2015!
