    The countdown has officially arrived.  With only days left of 2015, we look forward to one of the most fashionable nights of the old year AND the New Year.  The reality is almost anything goes.  New Year’s Eve is the night to tap into your inner sparkle and shine your brightest.
    When entertaining at home you sure can (and should) be the star.  The beauty of staying home is you can bare skin and turn the heat on.  A helpful hint is to start with a little self tanner a few days before.  No need to worry about coordinating coats and outerwear.  Try a sleeveless flirty top, or dive into a snuggly bustier, not to worry about dodging arctic temps.  Also, a great opportunity to do a halter or sheer tank.   Try pairing with a fun swing skirt or if you want to get on your Scarlet O’Hara, take a twirl in your full-length skirt for a real festive feel.  Always add in an element of sparkle.  At home no need for a clutch, so glitter up on a belt, statement necklace or arm jewels with an abundance of sparkle to it.
   Ok so we know how fantastic black looks and feels when we wear it.  If you are headed out for the evening (that crept up on us as it does year after year) we reach for the black dress.  The LBD never lets us down and saves us from assaulting the closet.  The dress may rock sequins, sultry spaghetti straps, or lace.  The black dress will always work and will be right on trend. But guess what?  Its New Years Eve and it’s a winter wonderland!  Try white, white, or white.  That’s right, designers love white this New Years Eve.  Coupled with gorgeous gold draping jewels.  What a statement this look makes and what other color proves such promise for the New Year!  Indulge yourself in a champagne color if you’re not feeling the lux white.  Pair it up with the bronzes and you will glimmer the night away.  A white vanilla sweater dress, eccentric metallic coated white jeans, sexy silk, or even a white flouncy faux fur all have the wow factor.  All you snow angels will have the crowd mesmerized!
     Embrace a new chapter in life while reflecting on the past chapters.  Light up the party and be the shinning star you are.   Grab your glass of bubbly and toast to the new hopes and the past blessings.  Have a very Happy and Healthy New Year!
