Now that Christmas is over (sorry for that buzzkill), I’ve set my sights on the next celebration. Luckily for me, New Year’s Eve is just a few short days away! This is one of my favorite holidays to spend with my girls, because these are the people who have been by my side throughout the past year, and who I know will continue to be there this coming year and years to come. Who better to celebrate the success of the past year and anticipation of the new year with?! Though the plans are still up in the air, I (of course) already have my outfit planned, and am so eager to share/wear it!

Sequins and sparkles are so great for this time of year, but I’m choosing color! I love cobalt blue this season, and it’s perfect for the shape and material of this dress. I winterized it with these fun polka dot tights, and eye-catching white pea coat. The sparkle comes into play with this gorgeous Benevolent Jewels necklace-the neckline of this dress is screaming for a necklace! I’m loving their most recent cause-a percentage of profits go to bully prevention. A good cause plus pieces like this necklace are a winning formula for me! The midi ring is clean and simple, and perfectly complements the other, more sparkly pieces.

My new favorite bag comes from Ayda & Co-a company that uses ultra-premium leather in all of their pieces. Her collections are so versatile, ranging from contemporary belt bags to super sleek clutches like this black python one. You can literally smell the quality of the leather, and it goes with so much with its gold zipper and stylish python print! I can’t wait to pair this piece with so much more (think jeans and a casual top, leather pants…) And this piece doubles as a makeup bag as well! Add your favorite glosses and lipsticks, your brushes, anything! It’s sleek design allows it to be transformed from a casual makeup bag to an evening clutch! Did I not say versatile?

What are your New Year’s Plans?!
