If I'm being perfectly honest, my ideal New Year's Eve would consist of a large pizza and a bottle of red wine on the couch. But inevitably FOMO always sets in and I end up making plans and going out. So in an effort to get myself in a New Year's state of mind, I'm sharing my key ingredients for a successful night.
Read MoreIt's the most glamorous time of the year. New Years Eve is not the time to pull back on the razzle-dazzle. Bring it all: red lip, smoky eye, fabulous jewels, sparkling frock, fur coat, and statement clutch. This year's vibe is "disco glam" (think Halston), which I have channeled with a lamé faux-wrap dress, shoulder-dusting earrings, an oversized leopard fur coat, and a fab fringed clutch.
Lamé is a great, lightweight alternative to sequins. Because, let's face it, if you're dancing the way you should be, you're gonna be schvitzing up a storm! A pop of color like my bright red lip and clutch can really take an evening look to the next level. There is something so sexy about the way a fringed bag moves with the wind and the movement of your body. I want to dance with this Hammitt clutch under a disco ball. It comes with a cross-body strap as well, so I will be wearing it to New Years Day brunch with jeans and a flannel and some HUGE sunglasses to hide my hangover.
Cheers to an excessorized 2015!

When I think of the ultimate glam party girl, I think of Edie Sedgwick and her iconic, shoulder-dusting earrings. New Years Eve 2015 demands a retro-glam "Edie Earring" moment. Pair with a black sequined mini-dress or a sexy halter jumpsuit, a dark smoky eye, and some serious lashes. Keep the rest of the accessories to a minimum. Shop my fave earrings a la Edie below.
