The setting:
The fashion: Just because my plans don’t include going out, doesn’t mean I don’t want a little shimmer in my new year! I’m cooking some fancy food for our friends, so I figured I’d get a little fancy myself. I love this DKNYC top from Dillard’s because it’s festive, forgiving and comfortable (which is an extra important feature for me with small children in the house)! I’ve got a pair of classic dark wash bootcut jeans to go with it.
The hair: My hair is pretty short and it’s not exactly a red carpet event, so I plan to just give it a little lift with some mousse, curl it under and pin one of the sides back with a gold clip.
The makeup: Staying fairly low-key with the eye make-up – an all-over shimmery white eye shadow and an extra dose of black-brown mascara – but I like a little pop of color, so I’ve got my favorite red lipstick all ready to go.
The extras: I wanted to bring my lip color into my accessories so I’m wearing a pair of gold and red drop earrings kind of like the ones below and adding red flats. I like these Kenneth Cole ones on sale through Zappos.com.

The setting: Night out with friends
The fashion: Since I’m going out on the town, hitting up our entertainment and bar district, I wanted something fun and flirty with a little bit of sparkle. This bebe dress was right up my alley, especially with the bright color, which I love. I hate wearing drab colors during the winter! The night is supposed to get chilly, so I’m adding fun, patterned tights like these from Merona at Target.

The hair: I’m still working on growing it out, but it’s a lot longer than it was. It definitely doesn’t hold curl well, though, so I think I’m going to go with sleek and sophisticated.
The makeup: What better excuse to experiment with the blue eyeshadow trend than New Year’s? The Kat Von D Metal Orchestra palette from Sephora has a range of great, glittery blues and grays than I plan to blend for a cool, smoky eye. With that kind of color, I’m going with a nude gloss and keeping a light hand with a pale rose blush.
The extras: I love Claire’s for fun jewelry, and they had just what I was looking for with these dramatic chandelier earrings. I’m also thinking of adding a big, chunky metallic bracelet. Capping off the look with a pair of edgy, black booties like these from Charlotte Russe.

The setting: Black-tie wedding
The fashion: With a good friend getting married at a local mansion, I had to go a bit fancier than I do for my normal New Year’s Eve affair (which usually consists of video games at my friend’s house). I was able to save some cash (December is an expensive month) by deciding to rewear a very cute dress I bought for a wedding last year. It’s very similar to this one from The Limited – rouching (which is always flattering), one-shoulder and color-blocking, only mine is white on top.
The hair: Definitely going with a stragetically messy, low-key updo. I have too much hair to try and pin it all up really tight – I’d get a headache for sure!
The makeup: I don’t like too much makeup – if I can feel it on my face, I want to scrape it off, which is why I’m pretty much a mineral makeup fan forever! Going for an emphasis on dewy, flawless skin with a pretty rose blush and highlighter. Light on the eyes with a blend of shimmery plum and lavender. (Purples look great with my blue eyes.) Keeping the all-over balance with a light, rosy lip.
The extras: I saved on the dress, but I splurged a little on the shoes. I needed new black pumps, and I found this gorgeous pair at White House Black Market. They fit is so comfortable, too. I’m also adding a little hint of color with amethyst drop earrings similar to these from Target.
