HAPPY NEW YEAR

JANUARY 1, 2016

Gucci dress. Gucci shoes. Edie Parker clutch. Ray-Ban sunglasses.

New year, new you! Or at least time to step it up and become the boss ass chick you were meant to be! And what better way to do that then wearing a dress that screams with confidence!

I'm head-over-Louboutins obsessed with Gucci's metallic technicolor designs this season. This dress paraded down the Resort 2016 collection and from the moment I saw it, my heart fell out of my butt. That Alessandro dude is giving me way 2 much life with what he's doing at Gucci.

The rainbow stripe top is everything (check out yesterday's post!) but this dress really is what dreams are made of. And while the dress may be a fantasy, the price tag is a nightmare ($2,600!) so I found a few options just as fun as the Gucci - preppy here, hipster there, and skanky over here.

Even if you usually stick to a monochromatic palette, when designers send not one, two, nor three colors down the runway but 7 at once in a cluster-fuck of ROYGBIV, it's time to resolve to wear the rainbow and not just taste it!

And wearing the rainbow isn't as tricky as you'd think: pair it with metallic shoes, loudly matching bags, and colorful aviators (I'd suggest pink or blue)! But most importantly, smile and have a ton of fun! Bad moods and the colors of the rainbow do not work well together! Happy new year, ladies!

NEW YEAR'S EVE, BABY!

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 31st

Gucci top. Gucci pants. Gucci shoes. Gucci bag. Moet & Chandon champagne.

Step one in putting together the perfect outfit: put together the perfect playlist. I get dressed for nights out blasting feel-good anthems like "I Gotta Feeling!" by the Black Eyed Peas (above) and anything Britney Spears because well, it's Britney, bitch!

So put on some jams and get to dressing because tonight is your night to shine! I'm obsessed with my styled Gucci look, all available at Net-A-Porter. The top is everything a fashion girl could dream of - Rainbow technicolor stripes, cascading ruffles, metallic sparkle!

It's a top that's just asking to be taken out dancing on New Year's Eve! I also found a rave girl-style from Dolls Kill that only costs 12 dollars and has just as much fun as the Gucci does (yes, I'm personifying clothing)!   

Anyways, treat yourself and buy this Gucci look (and consequently start off 2016 being broke af) or find a pretty camisole in your closet and pair it with a flare-leg jean in an off-white shade (the pair pictured is Gucci but G-star has a perfect style for 1/4 the price!) Throw in a patent pink bag for a pop of color and throw on glossy metallic mules and you're ready to celebrate NYE in style!

If you're in New York, I'd suggest wearing this coat with it but if you're lucky enough to be chillaxing at some far-flung beach resort, this look works as is. Maybe just lose the shoes so you can dance the night away on the beach you lucky dog, you!

So now that you have the solution for an NYE look that's simple and fun, it's time to drink buttloads of champagne and gain 6,000 blisters from all that dancing! Go out and have fun!

See you in 2016!

New Year's Is Tomorrow!

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 30th

Aritzia dress. Edie Parker clutch. Christian Louboutin pumps. MAC lipstick.

Ah, it's that time of year again where you vow to never touch another donut or Cosmopolitan ever again! New Year's is upon us and with it comes a batch of resolutions you subconsciously know you can't keep but will at least try to!

One of your resolutions is to be more fashionable and that is one you actually can keep because now you have ME in your life - I tell you what to wear and how to wear it. So you really have no excuse this time around.

To start tomorrow off on the right sartorial note and set the tone for a stylish 2016, I'm suggesting you go out with a BANG! BOOM! KAPOW! Wear a minimalist slip dress (this one is a luxe velvet style from Aritzia and comes in at under $100!) with a glossy patent leather pump (Christian Louboutin's black studded version is shoe #goals).

Since the outfit is neutral and understated so you're going to need a sharp red lip and jazzy clutch (I <3 Edie Parker's monochromatic stripe clutch!) to give the look some pop.

If you absolutely abhor this look, don't worry - I HAVE FIVE LAST-MINUTE OUTFIT IDEAS for the big night out that are easy-peezy lemon-squeezy to throw together.
