The countdown has officially begun.  With only days left of 2016, we look forward to one of the most fashionable nights of the year. The reality is almost anything goes. New Year’s Eve is the night to tap into your inner sparkle and shine your brightest. Our best excuse to dress up with glamour, sparkle and shine bright! Whether you’re planning a big night out or you’re keeping a warm cozy quite night inside in mind, it is truly your moment to brighten the night.
     Silver sequins were made for New Years Eve. However, 2017 designers are sprinkling champagne hues on their sequin dresses and it is breathtaking. The color gives promise and hope for peace in the New Year. Perfect for a night behind the velvet ropes, true vintage glamour.
     Navy sequins will turn heads all night this new year. A Montclair cap sleeve dress will always prove to be on trend.  An illusion neck, sophisticated enough for formal or a style that’s chic and easy.  The sequins will catch and reflect the light, and you will not go unnoticed.
    So you’re looking for a change? Movable embellishments including oversized sequins, gold hardware and a plunging neck line. You’re in luck. Think outside the dress, and opt for a jumpsuit instead. The one-piece style is totally relevant for ringing in the New Year.  Backless or a plunging front with a billow pant is a diamond choice for the evening. Try red and turn the heat up.  
     If sparkles are not your thing, pull out your sexy little black dress. There are many ways to dazzle it up or remain low key.  A statement necklace, a chunky cuff, or even a red lip, can make all the difference here. Try finishing off with an ankle bootie and a faux fur motto jacket.
     If you’re planning a low key evening at home, dinner with friends or family. Don’t ditch the glitz altogether. Wear those favorite skinnies but pair them with a sparkled blazer and tee. Try a velvet smoking jacket with a graphic tee underneath. A feathery vest or a faux fur vest is another fun alternative. Top with a gold or silver choker and you’re set. If you have a pair of sequin leggings, this is the night! Throw them on with your favorite oversized sweater and a pair of velvet loafers.  
     Embrace a new chapter in life while reflecting on the past chapters. Light up the party and be the shining star you are. Grab your glass of bubbly and toast to new hopes and the past blessings.
    Have a very Happy and Healthy New Year – Champagne and confetti sold separately!
