New Years Eve: Outfit Ideas!

Alright ladies, how often does an opportunity come around when you can doll up to the max, prom-styles and go all out with hair and makeup? For most of us, that occurs a few times a year and New Year's Eve is one of those few occasions. And when you dress up occasionally, this can be an exciting time to attempt a new style or finally get into that outfit you've been dying to wear - I say have fun with it! Glam it up!

Toronto is one of those cities where there are a wide range of fun party possibilities for NYE, from super glamourous to low-key depending on your mood. This year my husband and I have been invited to our best friends' place for a NYE party (cocktail attire) in the heart of the city (actually a few blocks from where we are) which makes it a perfect option. The only question now is whatever shall I wear? Of course I have a few ideas circulating in my mind which I've humbly decided to share with you all! lol argh i'm dishing all my secrets! But I just can't help it!

So here are my top picks for what to wear on NYE- I haven't decided which one I'll be wearing but it will definitely be one of these options....

1. FANCY JUMPSUITS - love this chic, one piece trend for the holidays. Jumpsuits hit the fashion circuits a few years ago but in a more casual rendition. Now they're being re-invented for more formal attire which I LOVE. I wore a vintage one myself to my friends birthday a few weeks ago, seen below.

2. MATCHING PRINTED SUITS - this is a fierce trend blazing the red carpets this fall and winter. There is nothing more fashion forward then a matching, printed suit, worn with either pants or shorts. Love this menswear inspired trend if you want to stand out at the party!

Suits with shorts!

3. LBD - is there anything more classic then a little black dress? You cannot go wrong with this classic choice, and there is such a range of LBDs you can get depending on how glammed up you want to be! Also you can always wear a simpler version and dress it up with the right accessories for your night out!

For the bling lover- this Prabal Gurung LBD is fab

This Dior LBD is the epitome of classic beauty on Marion Cotillard

4. VELVET - who would've thunk it that this 80's fav would make a come-back! Well if we know anything about fashion we know that it is cyclical, and this trend is back but in a MUCH more modern silhouette. (Tip: scour vintage stores in your city to get an affordable version of this trend)

5. Floor Length Coverage - Here is a trend for those who are attending a fancier, formal party. There is nothing more elegant and sexy then a floor length, full sleeved gown, I am a firm believer that you don't need to show everything feel attractive!  A little mystery goes a long way...

I hope these suggestions help!  I know I'll be rocking ONE of these trends, stay tuned to find out which one :)

Kate Doesn't Miss a Style Beat

Kate Middleton wowed us on her wedding day and a year later she continues to hit the mark with each stylistic choice she makes. From the dress choices, to accessories, to shoes and hair/makeup; she never ceases to amaze me with her perfectly elegant and sophisticated style choices. She truly is fast becoming this generations fashion icon.
Here are two amazing looks that she recently wore for some Olympic events, that I AM IN LOVE WITH:

Kate took a risk with the slit in this Roland Mouret creation and it paid off, she looks stunning

One of my favourite looks by Kate - this teal Packham is fashion perfection
